You can get with this or you can get with that. But you should get with this.
| Mix: Daedelus Does Fact | May 31, 2012 |
A thousand words might be overstatement, but the picture above is worth at least 250. You see Daedelus at his most dapper and dandy-like, theatrical but serious, and illustrating the opposing impulses that fuel most interesting artists. Alfred Darlington has been prowling between musique concrete, rap, IDM, EDM, and rock since the days when people […]
| Daedelus – “California” | January 25, 2012 |
Alfred the Great drops a bomb to rip up the nu-“California” stereotype established by Phantom Fucking Planet in 2002 and continued until whenever The OC croaked. How much would you rather hear this than that wrist-cutting-in-the-sunshine sop that soundtracked Adam Brody’s amateur neuroses? (Let the pro’s handle this, son.) Maybe I’m biased. Daedelus’s original last […]
| James Pantses Daedelus’ Armada | November 28, 2011 |
Dublab? Stones Throw? Daedelus? James Pants? Symmetry? Mandatory posting implied and explanation unnecessary. I am nothing if not congruent (caveat: this may be a Geometrical term that I do not fully fathom). Pants takes Daedelus’ “An Armada Approaches” and turns it into intelligent yacht music. The official title is the “Cruise from Here to the […]
| Dublab Takes Over LACMA Tomorrow Night, Ticket Giveaway | September 9, 2011 |
On general principle, I never do ticket giveaways because we are a very serious music website devoted to very serious things like weed smoking and music about weed smoking and occasionally epic songs about African funk lords swallowing weed and getting arrested, and being forced to switch stool samples with people who don’t smoke weed. […]
| Tidal Waves and Teebs | September 14, 2010 |
DAEDELUS – TIDAL WAVES UPRISING from StrangeLoop on Vimeo. Due to time constraints, I’m combining Daedelus’s latest video with the latest MP3 to leak from Teebs’ forthcoming and excellent Ardour, which is this year’s Nosaj Thing’s Drift. I.E. the Low End Theory cross-over album that will cross-over inasmuch as you can when you’re an American […]
| Daedelus – “Off Angles Edges” | June 29, 2010 |
On my way to see Tame Impala at the crackerbox Silverlake Lounge, so a quick link to this post about Proximal Records, the new beat label in Los Angeles. Their first compilation, “Proximity One: Narrative of a City,” is solid, but Daedelus’ contribution is superb — and another example why it’s impossible to dislike a […]
| Low End Theory and Teebs Podcasts | June 1, 2010 |
With each passing month, the Low End Theory podcast covers grow darker and weirder. Barring a collage of Josef Mengele’s greatest hits, it will be tough to imagine how they’re going to top the latest episode — a Columbine still of a rampaging Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold that seemingly matches the sinister beat music […]
| Mary Anne Hobbs — Volcano Refugee Party in L.A. ft. Daedelus, Ras G, Take, Teebs & Tokimonsta | April 29, 2010 |
Let the record show that this is the only volcano that I fuck with. Eyjafjallajokull, Krakatoa, and Joe Vs. can get the finger — what finger? The middle. As the LA Weekly reported earlier this week, Mary Anne Hobbs has decamped to the city of the Angels for the next month, to duck the travel […]
| Daedelus and The Golden Dawn | February 15, 2010 |
Daedelus “Righteous Fists of Harmony” from DestroyRockMusic Inc. on Vimeo. Yes, it’s President’s day, so in honor of that snuffed-out, wooden-teethed, powdered wig-wearer who never met a cherry tree he couldn’t chop, sloth and languor are the order of the day. However, it is also Chinese New Year, which means that it’s appropriate to unveil […]
