The synth-wizard, the wizard-look-a-like or just wizard in general, Gavin Russom (Delia Gonzalez & ..., Black Leotard Front, Black Metoric Star, The Crystal Ark, et. al) is venturing to Melbourne once again (recently visiting July 2010 at the Toff and also played live on-stage with LCD Soundsystem when they toured later that year) with details of this current visit at the bottom of this post. If you aren't familiar with the man, who has released work predominantly on the DFA label but has remixes released on Music Man (famous long-running Belgium label), Permanent Vacation, Record Makers, et al, then feel [...]
Gavin Russom is a psychedelic electronic music producer known for is brilliant releases on DFA Records and for making his own synthesizers. The first time i heard is music was on one of the first DFA compilations, its was totally different from what i was used to hear and i became captivated with the sound by Gavin and Delia Gonzalez , it was like a mind trip full of psychedelic elements, you don't know exactly how to react to it, if lay back and enjoy the [...]
Black Leotard Front - Casual Friday Selections from the Party Book Hosting a party can be an enjoyable experience, if one plans ahead. All of us, at one point or another, have felt the pickled grief of social embarrassment settle into our stomachs like a slimy olive rolled into a cold martini. This grief-olive--which slowly but surely will gestate the pimento of regret--can be avoided with careful planning, but also by maintaining a tight psychological grip on one's guests. A party can be likened to an overactive and truculent child, which you [...]
Amazing disco track from the DFA stable. Black Leotard Front - Casual Friday
Two long arduous years later this thing is still going! That's like 5 blog generations of music, and feels like it too. I'm the kind of guy who goes through big phases, as you might have realised, so I figured I'd give a bit of Disco Delish history and delve into the many faces/phases of said weblog - see how we got from A to B. I'm not one to deny my past, as inviting as that may be at times, so be prepared to take the good with the bad. WARNING: Selected tracks may [...]
Hey everyone. Tell me something interesting. I like hearing interesting stuff. Did you know owls are the only bird that can see the colour blue? Anyway, I'm going to keep using my weekend plans as post material, so cop a couple of Joakim tracks. He's playing at the Civic on Friday which I'm really keen for! Electro's favourite French Fry, Joakim has (obviously) been on the scene for yonks and is completely awesome. Check these out - the first is a remix by Tim Goldsworthy of DFA, which you clearly can't go past, and the second (thanks [...]
Black Leotard Front, "Casual Friday" - Sigh; it looks like the dream may well be dead . You really can't imagine how much I was looking forward to Delia & Gavin 's first album (hopefully of many) as Black Leotard Front - posting "Casual Friday" may be as superfluous a gesture at this point since everyone with even the littlest lick of sense in their heads already has DFA Compilation #2 by now, but I'll be damned if I have another gesture of any worth at my disposal for the task at hand, [...]
