And just like the mixtape...Imma hit y'all w/ the bonus tracks!! Awww shiiittt!! Really I just gotta post em due to the amazing (and funny) sample sources ... and cuz Rollin is the OG...
Daedelus is a man of fine craftsmanship. He is a of tailor made suit enthusiast. His wife tailor makes him articles of clothing as presents. And he tailor makes amazing music. On a tailor made instrument. His perfomance @ Coachella (see below) wasn't even dampered in the least by some initial technical set difficulties, and some fuck ups by the house lighting guys. Still murdered. One of our favorite performances of the weekend. Hands down.
I was the beneficiary of a lot of weird moments in time.
And this:
Ourselves are so overly important, and we make such a big deal out of things. It’s very temporal, our lives. If you can make a significant impact in someone’s life, much less a lot of people’s lives, it’s a form of love. It’s a form of gift.
His album Bespoke(out now on Ninja Tune of course, along w/ label mate Amon Tobin's new one), which refers to things custom made to ones personal specifications, and also, more generally, one who is well put together, is out now. You really really should delve deep into his archives as well. He had an album last year as well!!
His set-up @ Coachella was quite amazing. The mirrors behind him rotated w/ lights and shizzz flashing up on em....and when they finally cut the house lights (what you can see below illuminating him and his set up, they're not supposed to be on), shit was really on...
I was a bit surprised at the limited number of people upon showing up, but having been at Coachella last weekend (where EVERYONE wants to see the band that you were the first to like), it was a bit of a pleasant surprise.
Jamaica caught everyone a while back when the "I Think I Like U 2" video and track appeared (and then more videos), and word spread that aww shit, them fools is produced by or with or at least know... JUSTICE!!! (people still cared about that then). As far as the show, I was interested as soon as I heard they were playing L.A. again, but my lady friend Sammy Holiday had read my mind when she recently remarked "when are they playing anyway?", referring to the ol' Chain Gang, and when I saw they were the opener I had to get in.
TCGo1974 is Kamtin Mohager, a guy from Hawaii & Colorado (yeah!), who wrote and recorded a bunch of good tunes, formed a touring band, recently played 5 shows @ SXSW, was gushed about by Spin, and also has his first proper full-album-on-a-label (Wayward Fire on Modern Art Records) coming out on the longest day of the year....yes, that's June 21.
I heard White Guts (what is actually the re-release of that album I guess?) a few months ago, and was into it right away. I always love the electro rock with a touch of dream wave (if you will), while still keeping the slow(ish) jammer in there every once in a while. While I can't say the live show/band completely translated from the recordings, the show was high energy and overall good shit.
I did realize that what I still do miss about a Coachella-like experience is that everyone is really really getting down. The crowd last night was not exactly ready to let it all (or much of any of it) go, but hey, this is L.A., and Echo Park too. Mawfukers are snobby round the way. Even with in-line hockey enthusiasts/cool art rockers.
Been ready to blow up speakers are some new tracks from Purplebird Music (upon which some releases by my brother Entricut can be found) founder and head haunch Dead Geoff, one of which features Mr. Thumbs (1/2 of the former team of Natural Ingredients along w/ the Entreezy) on the beat?? and the other got eeem on the rap feetch...ch ch cheah.
This one (the proper solo) is called ISAM, and from what I've heard, its quite a sonic pleasure I must say, as most Amon work tends to be.
The first 'single' is available for download in exchange for your email. Its quite nice.
ISAM is now available digitally from the Ninjatune shop and online stores. Physical release is May 23, including a 6 panel gatefold CD, double heavyweight LP with printed inner sleeves (salivate), and a limited edition CD Artbook featuring images of an installation Amon did with artist Tessa Farmer and maybe even an essay by John Doran of The Quietus? You never know til you see it I suppose
....from the good people @ Stones Throw...
