Chris Daly’s lost blog posts: coming soon. Remember that one time you left your favorite baseball cap in the back of that taxi? You were pissed — particularly since you knww that damn cabbie was eyeing your fitted,snapback, or porkpie, the moment you stepped into his ride. Multiply that by a million, and you might… Continue reading »
Chris Daly is smoking Optimos in Orlando. Enter Cole Williams aka The Child of Lov, a 25-year-old Dutch musician whose age and location belie a musical kinship with everyone from George Clinton to D’Angelo.

You know Chris Daly’s steez. Sure, stoned is the way of the walk, but for those too blunted to slip on kicks, L.A. beatsmith Ras_G has put together yet another lazily, laid back, bubbler of a track for your relaxed, listening pleasure. Taking equal inspiration from rubbery bass lines, inclement weather and what this listener… Continue reading »
Chris Daly is the Zig Zag Zig Allah. Rejoice, you old hip hop heads, for not only have De La Soul dropped the latest single for their forthcoming “You’re Welcome,” but they’ve tapped into the Spirit of the Wu on this eerie thumper. Utilizing the same sample that the Clan did for ‘Intro’ on Disc… Continue reading »
Chris Daly doesn’t need any more baby-making music, but he will gladly accept it. Ghost in the Machine generally refers to one of a few things. The more scholastic might read it as British philosopher Gilbert Ryle’s refutation of René Descartes’ mind-body dualism. The Sting-inclined might process it as the Police’s fourth album that offered… Continue reading »

When considering Vancouver beatsmiths Nick Wisdom and AstroLogical, is it more appropriate to classify them as solo artists on Jellyfish Recordings or as members of the stellar Potatohead People (whose Mellowtunes was one of the grooviest… Continue reading »
Chris Daly: the right kind of sleazy. For those of you who thought you had a pretty good grasp of what Nosaj Thing brings to the beat table, it might be time to think again. On Home, his sophomore album and first on the Innovative Leisure label, “Home,” the LA answer to Boards of Canada… Continue reading »
Look, we can blame things on the dog smoking my homework or the fact that I’ve been working on my professional eater’s physique, but regardless of the extenuating circumstances, there were a few things I wanted to rap with you cats about last year, but never got around to it, you dig? Clearly, those ‘70s… Continue reading »
Chris Daly is huge in Japanese Bandcamps. Hide the children and women folk. Masked men continue to invade and take over the beat scene. In a world of deceased rodents and metal-fingered masters of mayhem, how does a beathead sporting a fucked up luchador mask make himself heard above the din of all that collective… Continue reading »
