Who would have guessed that one of the most dramatic vibratos in the past decade would have been destined for Broadway. Yes, that's right Thom Yorke will be doing a one man show of Radiohead tunes on <br />
Broadway. "After seeing what Green Day's <i>American Idiot </i>did for youth culture I had to respond with something in the same vain, but more me" Yorke says. The play entitled <i>No Surprises </i>is set to start in late September and will be directed by Tony Award winner Michael Mayer (not the awesome Komapkt recording artist). Jonny Greenwood is also set to compose the musical. I have a feeling this is going to be a winner.<br />
<br />
This is also a joke and not true.<br />

This is pretty old but still pretty rad so I thought I should post it.

Joy Orbison went from post dubstep producer (?) to straight up bad ass house producer. I won't write too much here. I think the man liked making tracks that sounded great sonically ("Hyph Mngo" e.g.) but realized kids were not shitting themselves on the dance floor like they should have been. I don't think kids every shit themselves for house music but O's making really interesting sounding tracks and doing it well. He's also a baby (only 23 years old I think). In 5 years he could be even more amazing. Him and Nicolas Jaar are killing shit right now. Everything they put out I'm all over and I can't get enough of. The new single will be released on March 21st on Hotflush Recordings who also just seems to be killing it right now with artists such as Mount Kimbie, Scuba and Boxcutter.<br />
<br />
Pretty weird that Arcade Fire won the Grammy for best album last night for their record <i>the Suburbs</i>. I like the title track and "Sprawl II"but the rest of the record reminded me too much of Green Day's <i>American Idiot </i>or maybe just a pop-punk record. Maybe I'm turning into an old man but I'm really not that teenage angst anymore. I do like No Age though?<br />
<br />
I want to write more about Nicolas Jaar right now but I'm not going to and try to absorb his record and get back to this after a while. This is also the third or fifth time I've written about Joy O. Do I have a man crush or what?<br />

<br />
A new monthly party has formed via Telephoned (Sammy Bananas and Maggie Horn) at Liberty Hall in the Ace Hotel on the first Tuesday of every month. The idea is the DJs and vocalist reproduce songs in new ways in however the artists see fit. I saw some of Telephoneds set and thought it was alright. I think I kind of just walked into their set and didn't know what was going on yet. There was also some sound issues with feedback that was slowly taking cared of during Telephoned set. I meet Maggie Horn at the bar and told her the set was nice.<br />
<br />
I was most excited to see Shyvonne (you might know from Kindom's "Mindreader") and Eli Escobar.<br />
When Shyvoone got on the mic everyone magically swept towards her like she was some kind of mystical soundtress. When she sang too, HOLY FUCK she could belt out some notes. I don't get to see live R and B or house type vocalists live so this was a refreshing experience. I would love to see her do this again. If she sang some house/soul classics I might shit myself.<br />
<br />
By the time Eli got on the decks for his set my posse was half done and so was the crowd. No one seemed like they were in a dancing mood which to me was kind of bullshit. He was playing a killer set though.<br />
<br />
As we were getting ready to leave I walked up to meet Eli and see what his DJ set up was. I looked to my left as I walked to the decks and sure enough Diplo was right there. I don't really get star struck but I was surprised to see him there on a Tuesday night. Here's how our conversation went...<br />
<br />
Me: Diplo???(surprised to see Diplo)<br />
<br />
Diplo: Yeah, what's up man?<br />
<br />
Me: What are you doing in the city?<br />
<br />
Diplo: I had a court date.<br />
<br />
Me: For what?<br />
<br />
Diplo: For breaking some dudes arm.<br />
<br />
Me: Why'd you do that? (thinking he was kidding)<br />
<br />
Diplo: Because he was fucking with me.<br />
<br />
Me: OK, see you later. (realizing I might become annoying)<br />
<br />
My girlfriend also told me that night that Diplo was sexy like 1,900 times. Thanks, I get it;)<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Kode 9 (aka Steve Goodman and owner of Hyperdub Records) came to Williamsburg, NY January 28th 2011. I was very excited to see my first Hyperdub DJ/producer live in my new city the day before my birthday. Unfortunately, I drank too much coffee and alcohol before his set at the Cove and don't remember any of it. He did play funky and house based tracks instead of the more dubstep influenced stuff he usually produces. I wish I had a list of tracks he played but I think that might of been the pile of barf I left in the cab on my way back home. Also, this is the first time I've ever puked in public in all my years alive now. Parents if you're reading this, I watched some TV and passed out early. If you can imagine though---I had a very happy birthday.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm moving to Brooklyn in a few days with my very lovely girlfriend and I don't know how long it will be until my next post. Before I leave Gainesville, FL (about fucking time) I'd like to leave everyone with some tracks that helped me grow up while I was here. It might look like a weird list but these tracks really helped me on my path of music geekery and and becoming a DJ or at least somewhat of one. This might be my college playlist, maybe? I might look very cliche after all of this? I'll take that. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Oh, and the new James Blake album leaked so get you hands on it some how. It's really, really, really good.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>The Beatles</b>: "Revolution 9"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This might have been the first time I heard an abstract and minimal song placed on a pop-rock album. The song sounds silly to most, but I was impressed very much with the balls the Beatles had to put this long track on a commercial rock record. I think I actually read that John's the only one who wanted it on the record. Either way, here it is.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Bob Dylan</b>: "I Want You" </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I think at this time I was in love and I liked the way he expressed that idea. I couldn't find cliches in Dylan's writing and thought his words came off more genuine than what I heard in pop (as much as he didn't want to be considered pop) music before. Dylan also got me into the Beat Generation writers like Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs. Both writers made me change the way I thought about literature in that they didn't do what they were suppose to do and had this very unique perspective on the world. This I liked.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>The Velvet Underground</b>: "I'm Waiting for My Man"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">"I'm Waiting For My Man" to me is almost like one of the first rap songs. It's about what's happening on the streets away from the eye of the white collar working folk, but also about buying drugs. The train thump drum beat in this song is what really makes the song interesting besides the already ballsy lyrics. This showed me that you didn't have to be traditional in your song writing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Can</b>: "Vitamin C"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This was one of the most important times in my life. I started to realize I liked production, interesting approach to song writing and music that overall didn't do what it was supposed to do in pop standards. I still think this beat is one of the more interesting ones I've heard in years. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Ricardo Villalobos</b>: "Dexter"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Villalobos was to me what to jam bands are to some kids. I just didn't want to take a hand full of drugs and dance all day at a festival with 10,000 other smelly kids with the same intention. Villalobos made smart bedroom music that sounded really good in a nice pair of headphones or a really nice sound system. It also made me feel more patient towards music on a whole. The song is nine minutes and some change long but it never really loses momentum. There's not too many sound artists that could pull that off. This was also when I decided that I liked house music for the first time. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Liquid Liquid</b>: "Optimo"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This track convinced me that you could be punk, indie, hip-hop, disco or a house music person, but as long as you liked interesting sound and dancing you were would like this song. This song might have made me a dance DJ as much as Villalobos made me a bedroom DJ. One of the best things I saw this year was watching Liquid Liquid on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon perform "Cavern" with the Roots, even the Roots seemed stoked. To me it was like seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Animal Collective</b>: "Leaf House"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Another really good example of interesting music from kids who weren't doing what they were suppose to do with music. It was like Brazilian Tropicalia, hip-hop (at least samplers being used), weirdo pop, and folk all came together. It's really cliche to like Animal Collective as a white kid, but damn those guys have been doing a really great job not doing the same thing twice and being constantly progressing into whatever they want to be.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Madvillain</b>: "Accordion" </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As much as this could be white boy hip-hop, Doom still sounds hard and that he won't take shit from nobody. As weird as the lines are "Hey you/ don't touch the mic like there's A.I.D.S. on it", the music still comes off raw and original. I never thought an accordion could be the main melody maker in a hip-hop track either--- I was wrong.

I got really lucky to hear MCDE aka Danilo Plessow production of Detroit techno, Chicago house, and classic disco and soul. These are all things that I enjoy very much. If you're an organic, soul or analog type person this might be the guy that gets you into house music. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

He plays me the Burial's <i>Untrue</i> album and speaks about so romantically that I feel that I missed out on something truly important. My internet is not hooked up my new place so I can't get a hold of it. Luckily for me a local record shop has the <i>Ghost Hardware EP. </i>I buy it and start listening to it a lot and try to figure out how to use it. I feel it goes well with the downbeat early night stuff like Nobody and Flying Lotus. I throw this on one night when my friend who originally played me Burial came to town. He immediately lets me know I've been playing the track too slow. I feel like an ass but we both decided the track sounded cool both ways and that I mixed it in well either way. This is the first dub-step artist that I really got into and then I started paying attention to more UK club music. 'Nuff said. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I can't believe I missed Beach House on Conan the other night. Beach House might win as my favorite live show that I was lucky enough to see this year. I think at the beginning of each song at the show I said "I love this song". I was really surprised to see their record in so many top albums lists 0f 2010. Way to go Beach House.<br />

I'm home for the holidays and I don't have a whole lot to do. Expect a lot of posts.<br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My girlfriend and I are moving to NY in a few days and we're really excited about being in New York for New Years. I don't want to talk trash about other cities and their choices of New Years parties but I did take notice of the list of acts playing in London on New Years and had a moment where I just wanted to hop on a plane and go (if I could). I'm very excited about this New Years and I'm sure if it's anything like last years New Years, it's going to be unforgettable. Either way, take a look at London's New Years Parties list (via Pitchfork). It's almost too good. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

Les Sins is the new side project from Chazwick Bundick of the chillwave act Toro Y Moi. This new project is more disco/house than his former material. I'm really digging this. I'm glad he got more into producing dance music. Toro Y Moi sounds good in the club and all but it's not really a way to get a party started. Toro Y Moi is meant for the very beginning of the party or on the drive back home. Either way, it's always good stuff.<br />
<br />
Chazwick started off playing in a band called The Heist and the Accomplice in high school with some classmates in South Carolina of all places. It's hard to imagine this music coming from someone who grew up in South Carolina but I suppose Washed Out came from the same place.<br />
<br />
The release of Les Sins was put out on Carpark Records (the same label as Beach House, Light Pollution and Dan Deacon) and is heavy on the Daft Punk. Not in a bad way though like all these new electro wannabes. This comes off a bit more legit. The guitar work, samples, bass and drums are all very Daft Punk influenced. It sounds like it would be fun to produce this and even more fun to play live.<br />

Jamie XX is remixing the whole Gil Scott-Heron (soul, jazz, spoken word, funk, and proto-rap artist) record, <i>I'm New Here</i>. When I first heard about this project I was very interested in hearing what this would sound like. The first track I heard remixed was "NY is Killing Me". It's a chill dubstep track with excellent high pitched female samples and of course Gil Scott-Heron samples as well. I really love the soul feeling of the song. It makes the cold production of Jamie XX sparkle. I'm really looking forward to hearing the rest of this project.<br />

In the past week I could not stop listening to Spanish disco/house producer John Talabot. I first heard his single "Sunshine" sometime last year and haven't been able to hear enough of his production since. He's done remixes for artists such as the xx, Delorean, We Are Stranded and Tahiti 80 and he's also done countless edits. All of which have a sunshine tingled, disco/house take on the above mentioned artists. I just downloaded (literally it's playing in my headphones right now) his <i>Summerized</i> mix. If this is what Barcelona (where he's from) sounds like, I missed out last time I was there (in 2007). Talabot is also on the Permanent Vacation label which is the same as label as Tensnake and Azari & iii. I always close with this, but I'm looking forward to see what this guy produces next.<br />

<b><u>L-Vis 1990 and Kingdom in Tampa</u></b><br />
Monday November 2nd in Tampa, FL I was very lucky to see the UK DJ/Producer L-Vis 1990 and the DJ/Producer Kingdom from NYC. About 4 weeks before the 2nd I was told that these artists are coming to Florida and I was very,very surprised. Kids in Tampa don't really dig UK Funky, House or the sounds of the above mentioned future bass DJ/producers. Despite the Florida scene, I was excited nevertheless. I'd never seen DJs that I really love and this would be the first time so I started making plans with some friends to go to the show. Unfortunately, only 2 of my friends knew who or what the artists were. No Buneo.<br />
<br />
On the way to the show we tried to sell some more of our friends on a free show in Tampa by no one is really into Tampa so it was a no go. I almost got my girlfriend to go but she had a school project due so that wasn't happening either.<br />
<br />
I got picked up around 7 and hit the liquor store to avoid over priced drinks at the bar. We just ended up with a flask of whiskey and some smokes to keep us entertained for our 2 hour road trip.<br />
<br />
We pull into Tampa around 9:30 and go to the club only to find it's not open yet (doors at 10:00). Food is on all of our minds so we hit up Tampa's famous Mema's Alaskan Tacos. The food is on point and we killed enough time just for doors at Czar to open. As soon as walked in I asked for the drink specials. As soon as the bartender told me they had $2 Rogue Amber and $2 Rogue Porter I almost did a triple back flip. In Gainesville, Rogues go about $5-$7 a pint. This was already a start to a good night.<br />
<br />
The first 2 DJs are not really mixing and just kind of playing whatever to get people into the mood. The first DJ, Rob Wonder played some Burial and that's about all that was memorable. It wasn't a bad set but one that I ignored. The second DJ was Blu Jemz, who is a Turntable Lab Radio DJ. He's set was all over the place as well. He wasn't mixing but dropping tracks and not really sticking to a genre or meshing too well. I think maybe both these guys can kill it but since they're opening they were playing whatever.<br />
<br />
By the time Kingdom got on the decks I already had 3 pints and a shot so I was feeling pretty good. Kingdom started off with the track "I Need Love" by Roska. I was already into this seeing that I've never heard anyone play this track out live before except and my friend and frequent DJ partner Ernie. <br />
Everyone started gathering around as soon as Kingdom hit the decks to see what this guy was going to do/play. He played pretty chill for about forty-five minutes until L-Vis 1990 hit the decks. HOLY SHIT!<br />
<br />
When L-Vis started playing his first track, the crowd really started to move and get into the Kingdom/L-Vis realm of musical selection. I got really excited and was surprised kids were getting into it. I was losing my shit and I was wishing I had a posse of friends to enjoy this with. I couldn't really tell you too much what L-Vis played but it was great, exciting and fresh sounding. I know he played a few tracks off his label Night Slugs which he runs with fellow DJ/producer Bok Bok. The weird thing was is that this club didn't have any dance lights. If they had them, they were not in use.<br />
<br />
In the end most kids left early but L-Vis's set just got better and better as the night went on. I ended up being asked to leave as I was talking with Ezra Rubin (Kingdom) and James Connolly (L-Vis 1990) about how kids in Florida don't like house music very much, but they're more into hard electro and heavy dubstep. I almost see that stuff as the metal or pop-punk of the electronic music scene. On the ride home I slept the entire time and woke up in home in Gainesville, FL.<br />

Here's a new video from the Brooklyn band Here We Go Magic for the video "Casual". It's one of my favorite songs on their new record and a pretty intense video. It reminds me of the last HEALTH video I saw for the song "We Are Water". Funny thing about this video is that my girlfriends mom was in town and I thought she was reading while I was watching this video. She in fact wasn't reading, but overlooking my shoulder (at least I think) while I was watching this video on my laptop. She gave me a look after I was done and noticed her like I was a creep. Maybe she didn't see it at all and just gave me a look. We never discussed it. I'm very glad about this.<br />
<br />
Pitchfork keeps getting these great videos first before others do so hats off to them, I guess.<br />
<br />
Here's the HEALTH video as well for a reference.<br />

<br />
The first thing I heard when I listened to the first track off the album <i>Moment Again Elsewhere</i> by Morgan Packard was the producer Jan Jelinik. I haven't thought about that name in a few years. Sitting here this morning though with a hot cup of tea and the light breeze of fall coming in from the window made this record sound perfect for my daily routine of music exploration.<br />
<br />
I knew nothing about Morgan Packard until this morning but now I'm very glad I stumbled upon this minimal, organic, electronic composer. I also knew nothing of the Brooklyn-based label that he's on named Anticipate Recordings. The label, who is headed by fellow electronic, ambient, and experimental producer <a href="http://www.myspace.com/ezekielhonigmusic">Ezekiel Honig</a> has other minimal, electronic artists such as <a href="http://www.myspace.com/random666industries">Klimek</a>, and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/marktempleton">Mark Templeton</a>. If you get a second, read their demo policy, it's really great. They won't sign you unless you only want to be on their label, and love their label and what they're about. <br />
<br />
<i>Moment Again Elsewhere</i> also has hints of organic sound such as twinkling piano which is very reminiscent of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Reich">Steve Reich</a>'s <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_for_18_Musicians">Music for 18 Musicians</a></i>. There are other organic instruments on the record too such as saxophone and accordion. If you have not got from what's written above, this record is not for the club, but for the bedroom or home LP player. This is a dense listening experience, but it's worth your time.<br />

This song has been in my head all day.<br />

By the cover of this record you might think it's a goth/tech record, or maybe a <a href="http://www.myspace.com/officialbauhaus">Bauhaus</a> rip-off, or maybe some crust punk LP. I guess the closest guess would be the goth /tech record but you'd still be missing the point. <i>Glass Eights</i> is <a href="http://www.myspace.com/jrplaysthehits">John Roberts</a> first full length LP and it's released on Dial Records, the label that have other new house/minimal artists such as <a href="http://www.myspace.com/panthaduprince">Pantha Du Prince</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/efdemin">Efdemin</a> and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/isolee">Isolee</a> who just released a new single.<i> </i>They're one of my favorite lables and they're based out of Hamburg, Germany focusing mainly on deep house with a lean on academia of house music. Besides Kompakt, they're my favorite minimal record label.<br />
<br />
This record wasn't really made for the club but more made for the bedroom. I heard the whole record the first time while my girlfriend was working on a project for art history on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frans_Hals">Frans Hals</a> and I was geeking out on some music. She asked who the artist I was listening to was and I was caught off guard; she usually refers to my music as beeps and bloops and ignores my music (or at least seems to).<br />
<br />
The record comes off romantic from the beginning. I can't tell if it's a romantic love for Chicago House or for a lady or what. The Berlin based artist only speaks with sounds, not words. I feel it has to be for a girl though. The song titles scream longing with "Even or Not", "Dedicated", or "Navy Blue". The record has an overall melancholy feel to it. The off kilter pianos sound like they're recorded in a 1920's abandoned home in the South surrounded by oak trees with a spooky amount of Spanish moss in them. <br />
I think I'd really like to see in an old 1950's Disney style cartoon with dancing oak trees with plenty Spanish moss in them surrounding an old run down house with the roof hinged off and a piano player (John Roberts) inside conjuring up souls with the music he plays. Hopefully that's not too abstract. Sounds like an awesome video though.<br />
<br />
I'm pretty sick right now and <i>Glass Eights</i> (sounds like a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cage">John Cage</a> record title) record is keeping me company. This is one of the stranger blogs I've written in a while so hopefully it's alright. Listen to this record though, it won't be a regret.<br />

<br />
Watch this video from about 1:30 into it on mute and play any of the John Roberts music. It's kind of what I'd want out of him for a video. At least watch until the part with the castle and the souls.<br />

Look what was in my e-mail today (see below). I found this pretty funny. I guess I'll be more careful before I post tracks that are on 1,000,000 other blogs before my blog. What a boring job the DMCA must have. The funny thing is, I don't know what track the warning was for. It doesn't say. Is it for Shed, Flying Lotus, No Age or Deerhunter? They did take the blog down so make sure you have all the new records by the above mentioned artists. They're all really great.<br />

This reminds me what could have been of David Bowie in the 80's if he would have worked with Prince instead of doing all those awful albums like <i>Tonight</i>, or <i>Never Let Me Down</i>. I know those records aren't the worst but come on, they're pretty bad. This is a really cool looking video either way.Blueblogshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13791437060905594330noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717365200254529705.post-86423028382738426702010-10-30T16:32:00.000-07:002010-11-01T15:53:35.017-07:00Gregory Isaacs + Deerhunter + Deefhoof + Spank Rock (Todd Edwards remix)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Deerhoof has a new record coming out January 25th called "Deerhoof vs. Evil" with a limited edition 2000 vinyls being printed. There's a few new songs up on blogs and so, so look for those. Their last record was ok, but I love these guys and I have hope that this one could be good. The first song I posted here is from the new record and the second song is from a cover album, soon to be released of Congotronics tracks. The album also has covers by Animal Collective, Glenn Kotche, Andrew Bird and Shackleton.<br />

Todd Edwards, my favorite Jersey born UK Garage/house producer remixes Spank Rock to surprising results. I love playing both these artists out live and now I have more of a reason to. I never would have paired the two together but I'm very glad this happened. This track appears on the label Ninja Tune's new compilation <i>Ninja Tune XX</i>. The comp features artists such as Toddla T, The Bug, Zomby, Dark Sky, and a lot more spread over this 6 disk set.<br />

XLR8 just posted a bonus track from Matthew Dear's newest record <i>Black City. </i>The album is maybe one of the best of the year and that's coming all from the indie and electronic sites. The album is on the more synth pop side and less on the house side of music this time. This new bonus track is killer though. I can't wait to see where this album lines up in this years best. Think David Bowie meets Depeche Mode for this record.<br />

A good friend of mine who lives in Brooklyn has a new band and a new release. The band has press shots and all that so I think they mean business. The band name is <a href="http://villavenusmusic.com/">Villa Venus</a> and sound a lot like the Sub Pop Records band Low. If you're a fan of dream-pop, slowcore, or sadcore you should really check these guys out. They've been playing shows in Brooklyn too, so make sure to keep your eyes open. You can also download their EP for free <a href="http://music.villavenusmusic.com/">here</a>, so get on that sucka.<br />

Everyones favorite summertime band, Best Coast is back with a video for the song "Boyfriend". Usually this kind of indie-pop is too cute for me but this band really pulls off this sound well. Also, is it me or did the singer lose a few? Either way, she sexy.<br />

One of Hyperdub's newest groups just put out a great new record entitled <i>North</i>. They're no Burial but just as you would expect a Hyperdub group to produce, they make the marks. This album even treads into synth-pop waters which I wouldn't expect but somehow found it pleasantly surprising. Listen to this record. "Aidys Girl Is a Computer" you might know from the mix that Jamie from the xx put out this year for Colette.<br />

Teebs is a California beat magician, but he's also a painter, skater and an artist. He's lived with Flying Lotus and now just put out his first full length LP entitled, <i>Ardour</i>. <i>Andour</i> is being released on Flying Lotus's label Brainfeeder. I actually just read a facebook post Teebs received about a text he received saying Erykah Badu likes his music. That's pretty fucking cool.<br />
