Odd Nosdam: Nofoolisnotaintready -XLR8R Podcast

Posted in Eclectic, Experimental, Indie, Promotions, XLR8R Podcast on March 17, 2009 by E.N.


No, that’s not a typo in the header. It’s just the phrase Odd Nosdam chose when naming this mix, and the 17 tracks here are equally as quirky and off-kilter. Berkeley, CA-based David P. Madson—who recently released the T.I.M.E. soundtrack, in which he scored 13 tracks to match the moves of 13 different skateboarders—curated a supremely mellow and incredibly eclectic mix for the latest installment of the XLR8R podcast. In very few hands do the likes of Cajun folk singer Cleoma Falcon, drone-ambient queen Valet and indie-rock outfit Grandaddy peacefully coexist together. Madson strings these, and more, together seamlessly.

As always, the hour-long mix is exclusive to XLR8R.

Madson’s T.I.M.E. release is out now via anticon.

Collectible toys are works of art doomed to a life stuck in packaging lest they lose their value. That’s where Brian McCarty comes in. His photographs imaginatively flesh out the secret lives of collectible characters and, in the process, serve as a playful look at consumerism. Here, we join him in Malibu on a shoot and talk to him about his colorful world.

Artist to Watch: L-Wiz
Swedish duo Claes Rosén and Ola Näslund (a.k.a. L-Wiz) has been making dubstep since 2000, and although their music falls on the mellower end of the genre’s spectrum, they occasionally indulge in what they call “headcrushing satanic basslines.”

DJ Hell North American Tour Dates +Download “The Angst *** PT.1”

Posted in Events, News on March 17, 2009 by E.N.

International Deejay Gigolo founder DJ HELL embarks on mini-North American tour + announces rare NYC press day in support of critically acclaimed two-disc artist CD “Teufelswerk”

“…prepare to be amazed, because Teufelswerk – a 17-track opus, split between ambient Day and jackin’ Night tracks, which arrives on 27 April – is one of the most ambitious and cogent dance music albums of, well, all time. Seriously.” Tony Naylor, The Guardian

New York – It’s not too often that a dance music album has the press buzzing in quite the way they are for DJ Hell’s finest word – his double-disc artist album “Teufelswerk.” With collaborations from Bryan Ferry (Roxy Music), P. Diddy, Peter Kruder (Kruder & Dorfmeister) and a slew of other acclaimed underground artists the ambition is certainly there. However, this is also one of the most perfectly constructed and compelling dance albums you’re bound to ever hear. The UK’s Guardian is already hailing it as one of “2009’s finest albums.”

DJ Hell will be taking his album on the road for a short tour of North American markets including New York, Miami (Winter Music Conference), Toronto and Montreal (see below for all the gig info). He has also set aside Wednesday, April 1st for a press day in New York City. This is an extremely rare opportunity to get some face time with one of the most enigmatic figures in modern dance music. Beyond his fantastic original music he’s also the visionary mind behind the world renowned International Deejay Gigolo brand.

Musically, Hell weaves an intoxicating spell through the 16 tracks comprising “Teufelswerk.” The nocturnal side (“Night”) offers a contemporary interpretation of Chicago house and Detroit techno. Here’ Ten-minute jams zoom and thrust with menacing intent. Its sunnier sister disc (“Day”) finds Hell embracing the rich cosmic groove of his roots. A lush, narcotic odyssey, the album sounds unlike anything he’s produced in the past…and it all culminates in a cosmic remake of Hawkwind’s classic “Silver Machine.”

“Teufelswerk” is released April 27 on International Deejay Gigolo Records. Please contact us with requests in interview DJ Hell in-person on Wednesday, April 1 in New York City.

*Extra Promo* Jean Philips & Mike Kelly – "On Demand"

Posted in Electronic, Progressive, Progressive House, Promotions on March 17, 2009 by E.N.


“On Demand” Jean Philips & Mike Kelly
Plastic Fantastic – PFT073
Release Date: 30 Mar 2009

Jean Philips & Mike Kelly – “On Demand”

1 On Demand [Original Vocal]
2 On Demand [Original Instrumental]
3 On Demand [Ismael Rivas Factomania Remix]

About
For our next release, Plastic Fantastic visits Cologne in Germany. Or Köln to the locals… Possibly most famous for scented water, it is also the city where DJ Jean Philips started out mixing at just 13, got his first residence at End Art at just 16, and was then rapidly recruited by the seminal Cologne Warehouse. Since then he has toured all over Europe, with highlights being Under (Paris), Kinkamehameha (Frankfurt), Bangaluu (Berlin) and Greenkomm (Cologne). In the past few years, Jean has been developing another side to his musical creativity, producing with DJ Marc Hell on Desert Pearl projects, with Wollion on Blu Fin, and with Saints & Sinners producer, Wilfried as ROC:MA for Sounds Good Records. During last year, Jean has taken time out and has spent all his weekday time on developing his piano skills, and building his new studio. And out of that comes his next release: “On Demand” with Mike Kelly.

Mike Kelly hails originally from Sydney where he has been resident at Indulgence, and has played to massive crowds at Sydney’s Mardi Gras party 7 of the last 8 years – one of few underground DJs to be regularly selected. In 2005, Mike moved to Germany on a musical exploration tour, and found himself rapidly as a resident of Cologne´s illustrious progressive club Greenkomm, as well as Naughty (the hottest new event in Brussels), UC (Frankfurt), Mecx (Paris), Furball (Amsterdam), Mezzo Giorno (Antwerp), and still from time to time at Indulgence in Sydney.

But for the remix we go to Spain, where Ismael Rivas started in 1992 at the Bolshoi, and later moved on to Space of Sound@Macumba, the Sunday morning session par excellence. Ismael created his own style, which has been constantly evolving from more Latin and tribal sounds in its beginnings to progressive house and to the more electronic and avant-garde new beats that characterize his current sets. Now a resident at Madrid’s Ministry of Sound, Ismael’s remix completes Plastic Fantastic’s 73rd: On Demand.

Caspa – Lions Roar – Free MP3

Posted in Dub Step, Grime on March 17, 2009 by E.N.


Caspa is dubstep’s latest acolyte. A West London producer and label owner, Rinse FM stalwart and Fabriclive curator, he’s cut his teeth in all the right places and is set to release his debut ‘Everybody’s Talking, Nobody’s Listening’ on his own label (of course) Subsoldiers on May 4th.

While the album’s got more than enough true dubstep moments to keep the purists happy (‘Marmite’, ‘The Terminator’) he spends half the time screwing around with the dubplate template, slowing ‘The TakeOver’ (which features MC Dynamite) to a standstill and throwing in straight up Kiss FM pop tunes halfway in (‘Lon-Don City feat Uncle Sam’).

This Kung Fu Hustle-sampling EXCLUSIVE was recorded especially for us by Caspa while touring Canada, and is textbook stuff – half-time beats, bass that rattles your ribcage like a runaway trolley down a cobbled street and that all-important ominous, overlong Pinter-esque pause halfway through.

“Nobody told me the lion’s roar could be done through a loudspeaker. I concede my defeat”.

Download Caspa’s Lions Roar here

I caught up with him over the weekend:

Why does dubstep appeal so much to so many people?
“Because it has something in it for everyone. The sound and range of artists are very diverse; If you dont like Caspa you might like Burial, if you dont like Burial you might like Mala (Digital Mystiks) but at the end of the day its all from the same scene.”

Where’s it going next?
“Its going global. I just got back from Romania and 5 days straight of DJing all over and I’m battered!! Next stop is Bristol on Tuesday, Exeter on Friday, Kent on Saturday and leave for Miami WMC on Sunday!
I’m not complaining – I love it!”

What makes a good sample?
“A good sample for me is something that grabs you. Something that stands out as soon as you hear it. I find myself watching movies in a whole different way now.”

Tell me about the ‘Lion’s Roar’ sample “That was one of those movie-watching moments I just mentioned. I was watching Kung Fu Hustle at the cinema for the first time and as soon as I heard that sample, I knew what I was going to do with it and what the track was going to sound like: DIRTY AND AGGRESSIVE, like a lion’ roar!”
