Artists  Beat Connection
event::about  Beat Connection is Jordan Koplowitz and Reed Juenger with help from friends and lovers, especially Tom Eddy, an amazing vocalist whose presence can be duely felt on "In The Water" and "Silver Screen". After their first release, the 8 - track EP "Surf Noir", they were signed to Tender Age Records, an imprint of Moshi Moshi in the United Kingdom. Reed and Jordan play piles of electronics: including, but not limited to, mpcs, midi keyboards, sp-404s, dd-5s, torq, logic, kaoss pads, microkorgs, guitars, vocal effects. When working in the studio its all about Logic and using everything at our disposal. This sometimes involves filter sweeps, crash cymbals, and found sound recordings, other times guitar will do the trick. In summer 2010, sweating it out in an attic studio with walls coated in soundproofing lifted from a college radio station studio Jordan and Reed created the Surf Noir EP. It's about the first sunny day, getting the girl, slacking off, partying. With the heartfelt understanding that Saturday night always becomes Sunday morning Beat Connection creates dance music with a pop bent, channeling acts from Delorean to Cut Copy.

Artists  DELS
event::about  In an era of homogeneous hip hop, the music of Kieren Dickins ' better known as his on-stage alter ego DELS ' comes as a breath of proverbial fresh air. DELS' signature sound belies a truly eclectic range of musical influences, from his days in a two-step garage band as a teenager, to a long-standing creative partnership with Joe Goddard from electro-pop wonder team Hot Chip. The resulting product is a unique mishmash of squelchy bass lines, tinkering keys, syncopated drums and the occasional steel pan, all juxtaposed by DELS' infectiously languid flow. It's a sound that is fast gaining recognition amongst music heads the world over, and has seen DELS tour Europe with Hip Hop eccentrics Yo! Majesty, and play at festivals including Glastonbury, Transmusicales and Big Chill. Having featured heavily on the acclaimed 'Kwesachu' mixtape by production wunderkinds Micachu and Kwes, DELS has just put the final touches to his debut album (produced by Joe Goddard, kwes and Micachu), 'Gob' due for release later this year.

Artists  Idiot Glee
event::about  Idiot Glee is the solo project of 23 year-old Lexington, Kentucky native James Friley. Although his musical foundations are rooted in his rural southern upbringing, it is apparent that his influences are drawn from a much broader spectrum. Friley looks to Brian Wilson and Fleetwood Mac, along with more avant-garde artists such as Arthur Russell and Scott Walker, as the source for his inspiration. By layering self-recordings over each other, James creates rich, lush harmonies, creating a sound similar to a quartet of voices. With the addition of organs and dubby bass lines, the result is an intricately textured sound, one that is unique and shimmering with brilliance. The debut LP from Idiot Glee will be released on May 16th on Moshi Moshi Records.

The band released their debut UK single, "Found Love In A Graveyard", on Trouble Records (Kasms, Crystal Castles, HEALTH, Male Bonding etc), followed by Beachy Head on tastemaker label No Pain In Pop (Telepathe, Forest Swords, Trailer Trash Tracys). They write serene pop nuggets: think C-86 reverentially smothered in dark 60s psyche-pop.

James Yuill
33 schedule::attendees
Location Beauty Bar
eventtype  Music
Artists  James Yuill
event::about  Noise, sound, music, melody. These are elemental forces that drive James Yuill. As a child, he would spend hours in his bedroom, singing along to Michael Jackson’s “Bad” album. At boarding school, while the other lads spent Saturday afternoon in the pub, James would be busy in the school music room, making a racket with anything he could lay his hands on. At university, where he studied forensic science - specialising, naturally, in audio forensics - James preferred to live alone, in order that he could fully immerse himself in his two big passions: leftfield electronics (Aphex Twin/ Squarepusher) and classic songwriters (Nick Drake/ Elton John). That quasi-monastic lifestyle is one he maintains to this day. James Yuill is never happier than when he's making music, alone in his Dalston flat, entirely oblivious to the whims of the east London scene, or the rules and regulations of wider music culture. Here, in Yuill’s spare bedroom studio, there is no contradiction between working on a remix for electro hipsters, We Have Band, while raving about Take That - "Gary Barlow is a genius" - and your teenage obsession with Nirvana. That's James Yuill's world. And he’s happy in it. "I've never followed fashion," he laughs, which probably explains why, when he first came to London, he took immense pride in his job sourcing music for TV adverts. "If I think track X is a fantastic record it doesn't matter who the singer is, or who wrote it. To me, I have the best of both worlds. I grew up on grunge, so I love hard bass drums and distorted bass lines, and all that heavy Ed Banger electro, Justice and Boys Noize, but I also appreciate the skill in songwriting and pop. And I think the way I bring them together is unique." On James's latest album, Movement In A Storm, that is demonstrably true. It's predecessor Turning Down Water For Air [TDWFA] was a folk record quietly and modestly underpinned by electronics. It infiltrated clubland (most notably, the massive Prins Thomas re-edit of This Sweet Love) almost by accident. Movement In A Storm is very different. The songs might have started out as strummed ideas on an acoustic guitar, but such outlines have been radically manipulated, coloured-in with great neon splashes of data, upgraded, rebooted, digitised. The melancholy, that wistful sadness that attracted many to James’s music is still there - in this new mechanised setting, the emotional impact of these songs is heightened immeasurably - but this is qualitatively different music: sleek, propulsive, dynamic, divisively electronic. Beats and basslines land with an irresistible force; the editing is full of tight energy; hooks are filed sharp; choruses ring out. The likes of My Fears and First In Line owe as much to the emotional techno of Kompakt as they do to the winsome indie electronics of James’s beloved Postal Service. It is a record of real conviction. Certainly, it should make any journalist think twice before ever mentioning "folktronica" and James Yuill, in the same sentence, ever again. Said tag, in fact, was already largely redundant by the time that - the earlier self-released album, The Vanilla Disc, notwithstanding - James's debut album dropped, in 2008. Due to some boring logistical detail (stolen laptops; rerecorded song parts; finding a suitably sympathetic label), TDWFA was two years old when it was released. In the interim, inspired by his burgeoning love of noisy electro, James had already reworked the TDWFA songs as a much harder, bolder, late-night live set, specifically aimed at club crowds. Far more Daft Punk than Kings of Convenience, that exuberant bleeps 'n' basslines live show not only directly shaped how Movement... would evolve and sound, but has taken James around the world. In recent years, he has played everywhere from the Bahamas (a private party for Time Magazine, bizarrely) to Tokyo, via lengthy tours of Britain, Europe and the US. In France and Germany, where his records get plenty of airtime on daytime independent radio, he can pull a few hundred people at stand-alone gigs, and is regularly booked to add pizzazz to techno and electro all-nighters. Although, as a drug-free and nearly teetotal musician James cuts an eccentric swathe through clubland. "I'm not remotely rock 'n' roll," he admits. "My interest in electronic music is an interest in sound. I never had some drugs 'n' clubbing epiphany and, on tour, I can happily sit backstage, reading Philip K Dick, go on, blast some manic electronic music, then go home, have a cup of tea, and go to bed, perfectly content. What can I say? I'm all about the music." Indeed, James talks with refreshing candour and sincerity about trying to do something original, about his desire to leave a musical legacy. As a lanky, bespectacled self-confessed "music geek", he may not see himself as a future pop star, but he does see himself as one among a small band of visionary British musicians (people as different as Patrick Wolf, Cinammon Chasers and Hot Chip), who are trying to alter the way pop music sounds. By writing songs informed by the electronica of, say, Modeselektor or Warp's Chris Clark, such musicians may well catalyse pop's next great leap forward. "Ultimately," says James, "the Aphex Twin-isation of the charts is inevitable. Computer music is boundless, there's just so much there to explore." When that fateful day comes, when cutting-edge electronic music becomes the lingua franca of a truly modernist pop sound, do not expect James Yuill to be yelling, "I told you so", from the rooftops of nearby buildings. It's not his style. He will always be much happier sat somewhere amid a tangle of wires, microphones, laptops and instruments (see Sing Me A Song, and its key lyric: "Is there life beyond my door? Weather stays the same inside my bedroom. It's warm and it makes me feel safe and secure."). In fact, by that point, James Yuill will probably making entirely different music. You would be disappointed if he wasn't. Such is his mission in sound. Others will trail in his wake, but you should get onboard now. It's going to be quite an ear-opener.

Artists  Casiokids
event::about  In an age when virtually everything -- especially music -- is instantly accessible and easily transmitted from anywhere in mere seconds, it's no small wonder that Europe has managed to keep Casiokids to themselves for this long. But, Topp stemning pa lokal bar is poised to place Casiokids on the tips of tongues across the U.S. (Even if most would be hard-pressed to correctly pronounce the album's title!) Hailing from the same celebrated Bergen scene that has produced Datarock and Annie, Casiokids were so-named for the beat-up old keyboards with which the band members first conceived their club-ready sound. Formed with the intention of making electronic music more visual, the band has since added guitar and drums to produce a collection of incredibly catchy tunes often sung in their native Norwegian and influenced by afro-beat, techno and out-and-out pop. Like former tour mates (and now labelmates) of Montreal, Casiokids put on a theatrical live show -- incorporating a blend of shadow puppets, video projections and animal costumes -- that is not to be missed. Whether playing for the truly young (as during a 12-date kindergarten tour in Norway) or the young at heart (at almost all of Europe's largest festivals and on tour with Hot Chip), Casiokids generate the kind of unrestrained party mood that inevitably transforms any audience into a joyous, dancing mass. And yet, apart from a few much-buzzed about performances at CMJ and SXSW, as well as a short headlining tour in Fall 2009, the quintet has remained relatively under the radar stateside -- an undeserved status that will surely be changing soon. Featuring the first Norwegian-language pop music ever to be released in the U.S., Topp stemning pa lokal bar contains the type of addictive melodies, distinctive vocal harmonies and danceable pop hooks that translate flawlessly no matter where you're from. Spanning the widths and breadths of bass heavy pop, synthy dub and darker percussive club moments, Casiokids makes its music felt as much as heard. The songs on Topp stemning palokal bar were previously distributed in Europe via Moshi Moshi, both as part of the label's renowned Singles Club and as a series of double A-sided 7"s. For this debut US release, all eight tracks have been re-mastered and are accompanied by a bonus disc of new material (including six remixes and two covers). With Casiokids, even if you don't understand the words, you'll soon find that the music speaks for itself.

event::about  Lucio Morais and Yuri Chix are Database and have known each other, well, forever. Being childhood friends, they share just about everything, likes, dislikes, and even their favorite foods. However, it wasn’t until 2005 when they discovered their greatest passion, music. While students in film school, the two became famous for gathering the entire student body together—from freshman geek to senior stud—to the dance floor of São Paulo’s legendary, now-extinct club, “AmpGalaxy.”. This new found local fame was the driving force behind the idea to create something new — a fresh live dance act with original beats - called Database. As Database, the two released their first compilation, “Uglyedits Vol.1” in early 2008. Around this time, they were invited to remix Fatboy Slim, and got together with his label (Southern Fried Records) to release their Miami EP including a collaboration with Bonde do Role. From these two releases, their notoriety grew rapidly in Brazil, playing in some of the country’s biggest festivals, including TIM/2008 (with the Klaxons, Kanye West, MGMT, Junior Boys, etc) Haagen Dazs Mix Music Festival/2008 (Uffie, Feadz, Yuksek, The Glimmers and VHS or Beta) Fashion Week/2008 SP/RJ, Eletrônica Festival BH/2008 and Bye Bye Brasil Eletrorock Festival/2008. In 2009 “Uglyedits Vol.2” was released, after which, even more festivals came knocking on the Database door, including the Festival de Teatro de Curitiba 2009, Chemical Music Festival 2009 (Rio de Janeiro), 9 Festival Cultural LGBT, and Vice Magazine Party (2009). Including a Beaches and Friends USA Tour in 2009 and 2010 With French Horn Rebellion. Today Database is one of the biggest electronic names in Brazil, and 2009 saw the band releasing a co-written single with French Horn Rebellion - “Beaches and Friends”. The media response to Beaches & Friends in 2009 had radio support from Radio 1 including DJ’s Annie Mac, Nick Grimshaw, Jaymo & Andy George, also was Hype Machine No.1 for weeks.

event::about  The story of G-Side is one that begins in the small town of Athens, Alabama. A town that sits outside the city limits of mid-size Huntsville, located in the northern foothills of Alabama. It is a story that is relevant to the growth, research, and development of the Huntsville area on all fronts. As a group Clova and ST 2 Lettaz have been rapping together, inspired by a place they call the Gutter side of living, circa 1999. Growing up in an area far from the hills of success, G-Side has had to fight for every ounce of living they have been blessed with. In 2004, G-Side teamed up with the Huntsville music stable, Slow Motion Soundz to embark on a career that has taken off like the rockets and the industry for which Huntsville is best known. In 2007 G-Side was thrust to the forefront of the Slow Motion roster to release the well received “Sumthin 2 Hate”. Backed by the production of the Block Beattaz, G-Side was on their way to carving a path for themselves and those that believed. It wasn’t until the 2008 that G-Side was seen on a national level. This in part came from a feature on the Diplo helmed “Fear and Loathing in Huntsvegas” and the critically acclaimed “Starhshipz and Rocketz” that G-Side was introduced to a world that didn’t exist in their minds or their vision of the way and its power. Media outlets such as FADER, Coke Machine Glow, Hip Hop Connection Magazine (UK), and East Village Radio (NYC) took notice to the work the duo was preparing at that time. During the development of Starshipz, G-Side along with in-house production team Block Beattaz took more than a single song approach, and brought somewhat of cohesive project format to the table. This was a project that spoke of the ills of a community that helped spur man’s trip to the moon and a community to many Fortune 500 companies. This spoke to the lives on the other side of the fence, lives not granted to be a part of the new frontier. G-Side used the city’s moniker, but also touched on issues of gentrification and economic despair of those not part of the space circle. Starshipz and Rocketz opened doors in larger cities and music scenes intrigued by the music plus the fuel behind it. Markets such as New York, D.C., and Baltimore welcomed the southerners in with open arms, and in certain circles the bonds became one to assist in future endeavors. The listeners didn’t stop in the United States. G-Side gained fans in London, Switzerland, and Norway. All of this at time was very much to the group’s disbelief. Going into the latest project, Huntsville International, all that had come before was key to the next phases. It was also important for G-Side to know the past was leading them on their journey. Another piece that drove the artist to make their brand of music which in some circles is being called groundbreaking was the aspirations to make the Huntsville story relevant at home and abroad. From the success of Huntsville International, a free downloadable album online, G-Side has landed a small tour in Europe, only three short years after the release of their debut album. G-Side looks at these opportunities not only as way to economically survive, but incorporate them as way to tell the story of who they are, plus educate the world about their piece of real-estate in which they live. Music over the years has been portrayed as the cure for all status and cultural insecurities, but it seems to be forming a new objective as the world and the state of it changes. G-Side, along with the Block Beattaz, teamed with the guidance of Slow Motion Soundz has made music an outlet for their version of growth, research, and development

Artists  Big Freedia
event::about  Big Freedia (pronounced "Free-da") is the undisputed "Queen Diva" of Bounce Music, and performs six or more times a week in various venues throughout her hometown of New Orleans.  Bounce Music is an original urban music rising up from the intimate and fun-loving nature of the New Orleans housing projects which dominate the city's street culture, and Freedia performs a derivative of Bounce reserved for self-proclaimed "Sissies" (a locally used name for biological men with varied and ambiguous sexual identities) that has risen to prominence in recent years and features explicitly gay and cross-dressing musicians and themes.  Big Freedia, like other "Sissy" artists, has achieved mainstream success with several New Orleans hit singles such as "Gin in My System" and "Azz Everywhere!" from her albums "An Ha, Oh Yeah" (1999) and "Queen Diva" (2003).  Freedia began her musical career almost 15 years ago at the Walter L. Cohen High School in New Orleans, where she was enlisted as choir director from her sophomore to senior years.  She sees her performance as a Bounce artist as an extension of this work, often interacting in a call and response/teacher and student, fashion with her audiences. Big Freedia has always acted as a mentor for many younger artists and is currently at work on her third album. While also running a successful decorating business (for which she counts the Mayor's office as a client), Freedia recently developed a musical about her life entitled "Catch That Beat" which featured cameo appearances by a who's who of New Orleans Bounce artists alongside the story of her upbringing in New Orleans 3rd Ward.  Since 2009 Freedia has begun traveling outside the city regularly with her dancers and live DJ, Rusty Lazer, playing to audiences across the country and in Canada alongside (or onstage with) artists such as Spank Rock, Ninjasonik, Japanther, Mos Def, Gucci Mane, Monique and many more.  Last year Freedia performed on the West coast with New Orleans band Galactic, recreating her collaboration on the critically acclaimed 2010 album "Ya-Ka-May", and at North By Northeast alongside Kid Sister, De La Soul and her New Orleans neighbors Quintron and Miss Pussycat. Most recently Freedia closed FYFest between !!! and The Rapture in Los Angeles, shared the stage with Major Lazer at MusicfestNW in Portland, played multiple shows at CMJ including the Windish Agency Showcase and lit up the crowd by performing with 8 dancers at the 2010 Fun!

Jessie & The Toy Boys

Location Beauty Bar
eventtype  Music
event::about  Jessie Malakouti is ready to push some buttons. Upon introduction, her disarming smile and runway-ready blonde beauty might inspire you to quickly peg her as the latest addition to pop music's growing army of disco dolls. But you would be wrong. Jessie is far more than merely meets the eye. As the voice and creative mastermind behind Jessie and the Toy Boys, she reveals herself to be a clever, driven young woman on a mission. "I don't mind that people approach me with one attitude and leave with another," Jessie says. "I like having the power to play with stereotypes... and then shatter them. It's fun and gratifying." First and foremost, Jessie smashes preconceived notions by being the primary architect of her band's sound. This girl can write. Every note of every song is the result of a self-imposed musical boot-camp that saw the artist immerse -- and isolate -- herself in the European club underground. "I'd been in a band that left me feeling like I needed to break out of my comfort zone and gather new perspective and experience," she says. "So, I went to the U.K., which is where a lot of important and trend-setting music is made. I went alone. I needed to live by my musical wits and instincts for a while, and see where it took me." It was a brave move that tested Jessie's determination. "I won't deny that those first few days were difficult," she recalls. "It's challenging to be that far from the places and people who feel familiar and safe. I even contemplated giving up and going home at one point. But that feeling didn't last very long. The intention behind going abroad was to grow, and to learn more about who I am as a person and as an artist. You can't achieve that without a little pain, so I toughed it out." The result of Jessie's determination is a sound that brings listeners to the next sonic dimension of electronic-rooted pop music. The first single, "Push It" (featuring a playful rap interlude by Yelawolf), combines an urgent club bassline with vibrant, sixties-spiked girl-group colors. Jessie's vocal, by turns, has sex-kitten and brash, rock-diva qualities. "A great song, to me, is one that sticks to your brain long after you've heard it for the first time," Jessie says. "What I'm trying to accomplish is music that is catchy, but smart. Part of that is combining elements of different genres in ways that you might not imagine working together at first." Jessie deftly succeeds in her creative mission with songs like the new-wave-spiced "Valentine" and the introspective, retro-soul-infused "Long Way From Home." It is during these songs, in particular, that Jessie most effectively proves herself as a vessel for widely varied concepts, while also indicating a remarkable talent for genre interpretation. It's been an intriguing journey up to this point for Jessie Malakouti. This enigmatic bombshell admits to starting her own rock band just to piss off her parents and then promptly left home at 16. Growing up in rough patches around Southern California's Inland Empire added a dark tinge to her savvy pop outlook. Going from friends' sofas to audition to odd job and back again, Jessie would live off various paid acting/dance gigs as well as teaching at the local dance studio. She earned her stripes by fronting her rock band Shut Up Stella hitting the sweaty LA club scene and building a West Coast fan base. Then things started to change. 'I just wasn't in the same head space anymore,' says Jessie, 'they wanted to carry on making angry music and I was writing happy pop songs.' From there, Jessie began to believe that she could navigate her own creative ship. "When you have a vision for yourself, you have to take risks," she says. "I'm completely comfortable with that, because I decided a while ago that I was going to live or die by my own sword. I'd rather people love me or hate me, nothing in between, thanks.' Given what Jessie Malakouti has beneath the surface, there's little chance that her future is anything but bright. If there's a boundary, Jessie is going to push it. www.jessieandthetoyboys.com

event::about  Ladies and gentlemen... We are proud to welcome Beni to the Modular Recordings family. Trying to wrap your mind around Beni is like trying to get a grip on a ghost. He's an energy flash, a light that never burns out, a juvenile joker and an ageless oracle. He's a man that has lived a thousand lives, a connoisseur and a curator, an aesthete and the ultimate modern artist. A lifetime of inspiration and two and a half years in the making, Beni's forthcoming debut album was written and recorded in various studios and bedrooms in Sydney, New York, LA, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo and Barcelona; at various airports and hotels along the way; on countless flights; on trains between Hiroshima, Osaka and Kyoto, and in a rickety-ass farmhouse in the French countryside. The result is Beni's singular vision of dance music filtered through life and love, and a soundtrack to a journey with no end in sight. It's an attempt to capture the atmosphere of house music's infancy in Chicago and New York. Marshall Jefferson, Larry Levan, Francois K, Ron Hardy, Frankie Knuckles: for Beni, this is where it all began. Bristling with dance floor vitality, Beni's sparkling collection of tracks showcases the vocals of an ivy league of guests from across the globe: Sam Sparro, Nomi (Hercules and Love Affair), and Matty Safer are just a few. The album will be Beni's first solo release on Modular and follows on from his previous singles, My Love Sees You and Maximus (Kitsune). Put it in a pot and let it percolate.

event::about  Hotwiring naughty synth lines and dancefloor-crushing beats with elegant harmonic textures and twisted, pop-cultured hooks, Virtual Boy craft a grimy, cinematic sound all their own on the group’s debut EP “How Long Does It Take To Get To Space?,” dropping July 21, 2009 on 1320 Records. But even before Virtual Boy had an official release, taste-making DJs spanning packed clubs to BBC Radio were spinning their atmospheric bangers, which owe as much to Bach and Mozart as they do to Justice, evoking Air as much as Virtual Boy’s heroes-in-glitch Nosaj Thing and The Glitch Mob. That stylishly oddball set of influences is what happens when two talented young classical musicians discover their shared passion for dusty vintage synthesizers, new electronic-music genres, classic formalwear, and girls that look like they are starring in a ‘60s Godard movie. Out of that distinctive crucible, Virtual Boy was born – the duo taking its distinctive moniker from a rare Nintendo game console gathering dust in a Southern California dorm room. Virtual Boy founders Henry Allen and Preston Walker met freshman year at Chapman University’s Conservatory of Music based in California’s famed Orange County. Henry arrived from his hometown of Albuquerque, NM to continue studying classical guitar (he recently won a national competition as part of the Chapman Conservatory Guitar Ensemble). Preston, a Southern California native, became part of the Chapman University Choir, which recently toured Italy where he sang for Pope Benedict XVI in the Sistine Chapel. But it was when Henry and Preston began composing together in their Music Technology class that their sonic potential revealed itself. Taught by notable Los Angeles electronic-music mainstay Steve Nalepa, the class featured a stream of all-star guest lecturers including Nosaj Thing, Lorn, Richard Devine, Adam Freeland and The Glitch Mob’s Boreta; these guests shared groundbreaking composition and performance techniques, all while exposing the students to the most innovative, cutting edge electronic music being made today - from dubstep and glitched-out funk to big-room bangers and beyond. Via this inspiration, Virtual Boy developed their own signature sound while producing their weekly composition assignments. It’s safe to say that Allen and Walker received “A” grades in the class. What they didn’t expect were the accolades that started pouring in from the world outside academia’s ivory towers. As part of the class’ requirements, each student created a four-song EP, designed their own album art, and produced a multimedia concert performance for a record-release party at the end of the semester. Virtual Boy found their music finding new audiences before they could even complete their coursework, however. In May 2009, with a push from The Glitch Mob’s Boreta, Mary Anne Hobbs dedicated a segment of her influential BBC Radio 1 show to highlighting Allen and Walker’s Music Technology class: Hobbs even gave Virtual Boy a special shout-out, giving their standout track “Lost Treasure” pride of place in her set; as Hobbs’ show was the place where game-changing artists like Burial, Kode9 and Flying Lotus were discovered, this was very big news indeed. After esteemed San-Francisco based producer/rising DJ star Eprom heard Virtual Boy’s iconoclastic beats on Hobbs’ show, he began to champion their sound, dropping their songs in his sets and agreeing to master their tracks. Soon after, live/electronic music pioneers Sound Tribe Sector 9 quickly embraced the Virtual Boy groove: after hiring Allen and Walker to remix 1320 artist Nalepa’s “Sunflowers” single, STS9 were so impressed by the results they agreed to put out “How Long Does It Take To Get To Space?” As such, the EP’s title is starting to prove prophetic: it may take Virtual Boy a minute to hit the cosmosphere, but they might reach the top of their game much, much sooner.

event::about  Justin Ledford (LDFD) was born in Amarillo, Texas U.S.A. His unique sound is inspired by a smattering of production tools he started with when he was younger. 'I started making beats with a Radio Shack Moog from the 80's, an SP-404, my guitar and random percussion instruments.' His live sets incorporate elements of UK Funky, Dubstep, House and Hip-Hop. He is both a member of the international artist collective Broken Teeth and the Dallas Dubstep crew 'Dub Assembly'. Headed–up by Jason Mundo, Dub Assembly's first generation stateside Dubstep events have offered LDFD a healthy home. He has been featured at events with Gaslamp Killer, Daedelus, Samiyam, Free the Robots, Hatcha and Noah D. In one short year LDFD's dazzling efforts in the studio have come under high praise and have been supported by artists such as LV, Starkey, and Distal. It's no wonder that he already has an EP coming out on Daedelus' label, Magical Properties.

event::about  Alfred Darlington isn't a paint-by-numbers musician. From how he looks (early Victorian Dandyism), to how he makes music, or how he expresses himself and views the world, his is a very individual 'bespoke' outlook. Alfred was born in Santa Monica in 1977 to an artist mother and psychologist father. Musical from very early on, as a child he was classically and jazz-trained in a number of instruments, but his interests were broad and varied – less a prodigy than a renaissance boy whose obsessions ranged from Greek legend to the mountains of Wales. As a 15 year old he finally persuaded his parents to take him to the Principality. Whilst in a YMCA in London he flipped the radio dial, found a pirate radio station and taped some UK rave and hardcore. 'It was my first 'Eureka!' moment in music', he says. Back in the US he joined local rock bands, jazz bands and ska bands, which he enjoyed but felt limited by, too. At home he was listening to Warp, Ninja and your harder electronic stuff. He started DJing out the more leftfield side of drum & bass and making his own rudimentary productions. They were meant to fit the d&b but they kept turning out different and from his outsider's experiments his own style was born. He chose the name Daedelus as he had a childhood obsession with invention, and what was he doing, after all, if not tinkering and fiddling and experimenting like the 'gentleman inventors' of old? In 1999 he started DJing on Dublab.com for his 'Entropy Sessions' and began dropping in his own early demo productions. Carlos Nino (of ammoncontact) had the show after him and usually pushed Alfred out the studio as quickly as possible as he was not so enamoured with Alfred's confrontational DJ style, but when he heard a tranquil Daedelus production, in typical Nino style, he took Daedelus under his considerable wing and introduced him to the LA scene. Nino placed Daedelus tracks on two influential compilations and then persuaded Plug Research to release his debut album, 'Invention', in 2002. Remixers included Madlib, who later took Daedelus' accordion parts and used them on 2004's Madvillain record. In 2003, he was booked to play a show in San Diego by Brian Crabtree and Peter Siegerstrong and the pair asked him to test out an early prototype of the Monome. "It's a non-traditional electronic instrument,' Daedelus explains. 'Basically it allows for massive improvisation." Since then Daedelus has continued to use this revolutionary controller, bringing much genuine liveness to the sometimes static world of performed electronic/dance music. In 2003 he did 'The Weather' album with Busdriver and Radioinactive, and the remix album 'Rethinking the Weather' on Mush records. 2004 saw the release of 'Of Snowdonia' on Plug Research, the album with which Daedelus says he first "felt true artistic confidence, finding a true voice. I was finally in the right zone.' There was certainly no let up in his creativity. Also in 2004 he released the concept album 'A Gent Agent' on micro-label Laboratory Instinct. The 2005 album 'Exquisite Corpse' on Mush featured the likes of TTC, Mike Ladd and MF DOOM. Ninja signed Daedelus for UK/Europe (a relationship which reached its full expression on 2008's 'Love To Make Music To', his first album for the label worldwide and put together with the help of their team). In 2006 'Denies the Days Demise' came out, a record showcasing his love of Brazilian music. Last year he released his first live album, 'Live At the Low End Theory' and 'The Fairweather Friends EP'. Later that year came the release of his collaboration with his wife, Laura Darling, as the pastoral 'Long Lost'. Since his last album 'Love To Make Music To' for Ninja there has been no let up in Daedelus' productivity. He has remixed or been remixed by and produced with all of his LA scene peers including Flying Lotus, Nosaj Thing, The Gaslamp Killer, Baths, and countless others from further afield. In addition, singles and EPs under his own name have come out with Brainfeeder, All City, Magical Properties (the Daedelus home-imprint), Alpha Pup, Warp and Stones Throw. And all the while his reputation has grown internationally, his place in the LA scene has also solidified as a musician that many of the hottest names in the city turn to for everything from bass clarinet licks to advice on obscure electronics; all the while with a continuous string of tour dates across North America, Asia, Europe, the UK, and beyond. 2011 starts not only with his new album but the meticulous planning of a huge tour featuring guest vocalists from his 'Bespoke' LP and with a spectacular visual show curated in part by Emmanuel Baird (of Manchester's Warehouse Project and Hoya Hoya nights) which will feature a top secret new invention codenamed ARCHIMEDES promising to yet again re-invent live electronic performance.

event::about  Having produced for years individually as Machinedrum (LuckyMe) and Praveen (of Praveen & Benoît), their new collaboration breathes a new life of its own, reflected in its distinctive, lush sonic warmth and a refreshing style of composition that is as equally fitting on the dancefloor as it is in the comfort of one’s home. Sepalcure’s depth of field, weaves distant chords, soulful vocals, and organic rhythms into vibrant, immersive soundscapes, with echoes of house, techno, and dubstep within. Their live performances have been gaining steam over the last year, beginning with appearances at Unsound Festival, Dub War NYC, and The Bunker, followed by a live showcase at Portland’s Decibel Festival in September, they are set to embark on their first European tour with other Hotflush artists this December. They have also composed an original track in Darren Aronofsky’s new film Black Swan, in theatres starting December 2010.
