Flying Lotus - Brainfeeder Dates and more!

Last year in London, Flying Lotus curated and headlined a rave of epic proportions. Called "Brainfeeder" after the lead track on his colossal "Los Angeles" album, it featured international bass royalty like Digital Mystikz, Kode 9, Danny Breakz, Samiyam, Rustie and many others.

Next week, Flying Lotus brings Brainfeeder to the West Coast of the US of A. Featuring appearances from Daedelus, Kode 9, Martyn, Samiyam, The Gaslamp Killer, Hudson Mohawke, Ras G, Kutmah and, of course, Flying Lotus himself, it will hit LA's Echoplex on Friday, Nov. 7 and San Francisco's 1015 on Saturday, Nov. 8.

Then to get your holidays on and crackin', December 9th will see the US release of the second installment in FlyLo's planned trilogy of LA EPs. Check the tracklisting below along with a free download of Nosaj Thing's take on "Camel"!

DJ Mujava - Township Funk - kingdom remix

It's been just over a month since Township Funk's official release, and there's already dozens of remixes circulating the blogs.  We thought we'd share one of the ones we've been jamming to, lately.  Kingdom's remix starts of with a choppy addition of Aaliyah vox over the top and takes a bit of a turn for Baltimore about halfway through.  Hot stuff.  Big ups, Kingdom.

Squarepusher - Just a Souvenir

"This album started as a daydream about watching a crazy, beautiful rock band play an ultra -gig."

Squarepusher shreds onward in Just a Souvenir - his 11th album which hits stores in just under a month.  Skating around from glitchy minimalist 2-step funk to furious rock to 90s rave, Squarepusher stays true to form in his latest effort (which is really to say that he has gone even farther into 'undefinable' territory).

A smorgasboard of styles and sounds, Souvenir is at once wildly varied, but quintessentially Squarepusher.  It is a wild journey with many twists and turns, but at the end of the ride you just want to go back to the start.

Track listing is as follows:

1. Star Time 2

2. The Coathanger

3. Open Society

4. A Real Woman

5. Delta-V

6. Aqueduct

7. Potential Govaner

8. Planet Gear

9. Tensor In Green

10. The Glass Road

11. Fluxgate

12. Duotone Moonbeam

13. Quadrature

14. Yes Sequitur

Enjoy a stream of Delta-V off of Just a Souvenir - a forward, distorted rocker of a tune with an air of Lightning Bolt...

Nightmares on Wax - Hear in Colour

With "thought so...", the new Nightmares on Wax groove-ridden aural road-trip set to release in a mere few days (Sep 2nd in the US - mark those calendars), the time has come for the blogging populous (blogosphere is a heinous term for the wicked) to twitter, feedburn, digg, stumble and otherwise illuminate your path to a free mp3 download of "hear in colour".  A smoked-out car ride down the coast in late summer with a few friends and the windows down is probably the easiest way to describe it and incidentally, the best way to enjoy it.  Not that we're telling you how to live your life, but take a listen and you just might find yourself on a drive seeking a destination, or perhaps not having one at all.

Download: Nightmares on Wax - Hear In Colour

Nightmares on Wax - Thought So...

It always feels good to arrive at a certain destination after a long journey, whilst simultaneously knowing that a new chapter has just opened. For George Evelyn aka E.a.s.e., the force behind trailblazing leftfield act Nightmares On Wax, things have come full circle.

This new album was inspired by a special journey from Evelyn’s birthplace of Leeds to his new family home located right in the middle of Ibiza. Instead of shipping all his studio equipment by boat, E.a.s.e. rose to the challenge of writing some music on a unique roadtrip. By bringing the gear, a decent sound engineer and the N.O.W. live band members in camper vans on the long journey from the UK to the Balears and with a setting that readily provided inspiration, the rapport in exchanging ideas was instant, and thus the concept of "thought so..“ arrived, from the process itself.

"I remember quite a bunch of great moments on that road trip as if it was yesterday“ Evelyn recalls. "We would stop at any sight or landscape view that promised some sort of inspiration really, allowing us all the freedom to just dwell in that moment and emotion we found ourselves in, only to get inspired by the resulting feelings.“

Enjoy a stream of 195lbs, the first single off of Thought So...

Pivot - O Soundtrack My Heart - Coming Soon!

Originally formed in late nineties Australia, Pivot have until recently remained hidden from the international radar. With their first album released in 2005 (the locally acclaimed ‘Make Me Love You’) multi-instrumentalist brothers Laurenz and Richard Pike sensed it was time for new things. The addition of Perth born/London-based Dave Miller in 2006, and the subsequent departure of the original line up, sparked a period of intense creative activity, resulting in a new band, a new album and dreams of the beyond….

Cinematic in feel and progression, Nothing Hurts Machine starts in one place and ends in another through a series of seamless and driving changes. Echoes of Vangelis slip in-between post-punk propelling guitar riffs and glitchy sample-tweaking. Lush, Jarre-esque pads drone beneath sparse drums and programmed ticks, while a lead melody wanders in and out of the atmospherics. We hope you enjoy this premiere, and stay tuned - there will be more to ingest as we get closer to the release of O Soundtrack My Heart.

Pivot - In The Blood - Video Premiere

Warp's latest (and first Australian) signing, Pivot, are here with a new music video that you might not see broadcast during prime-time hours. Shark attacks, blood and guts, and puppetry, all set to ominous synth drones and propelled by a driving bassline, promise that Pivot isn't really utilizing the subtle approach. If the promise of gore hasn't enticed you, did I mention that the director fractured his shoulder and covered his house in blood for the shoot? That's pretty hardcore. Pivot's "In The Blood" EP will be released on May 19th - keep a lookout on warpmart, bleep, and your local record store. Enjoy the premiere of Pivot's "In The Blood":
