SXSW has officially begun! It's hard to believe that it's been two years since our Quality! showcase at SXSW.

Lewis, Thelonious Martin, Jonwayne, Computer Jay, Jonti, Kone, SelfSays, Hawthorne Headhunters, Soundfounders and more. It's going to be a lovely day of good music, drinks and live artwork at the Volstead. Fortunately, most of the [...]
Rattling along under the radar, Citinite have been putting out modest, albeit enjoyable, releases from largely unknown artists for the past five years. Well, now it appears they're on the verge of exploding violently all over the electronic music scene. Their latest release comes from Drive Me Home and happens to be his debut. Having previously worked under the moniker BBQ, he still releases BBQ mixtapes, the Drive Me Home moniker seems to be the one he feels more comfortable with - at least for now. The 'Fast [...]
cover by ward robinson This wild little guy has been out for a second but we were so busy with shows , shows and shows that we didn't get a chance to make a huge deal about it! So behold—L.A.

Truly unclassifiable in any of today's genres, British beatsmith Om Unit (Jim Coles) has mastered the art of non-discriminatory electronic music. Originally known as a turntablist under the moniker 2tall, Coles has traversed through different periods of music whilst maintaining his signature incorporation of luscious textures and head knocking beats. Ranging all the way from ass-shaking tracks like "Neptune," which was featured on a 2010 Low End Theory podcast, to the instrumental 4/4 grooves of early chicago house found in "The Power of Love," Om Unit's work has diversified his audience. Coles' surging instrumentation and distinguishably exuberant sy nthwork has received appraisal from much [...]

California's full of overlooked beat-makers bordering on genius, and one of the best around is Computer Jay. As is often the case, Computer Jay spreads his talent across various projects, including studio collaborations with Steve Cooper, Dam-Funk (he's also a part of Dam's live band) and Sa-Ra's Shafiq Husayn, as well as various members of the magic circle of Los Angeles' crate-digging community. With a vast musical range that takes in boogie, G-Funk, classic computer games and everything in between, we consider him one [...]
Jordan Richardson calls Epic Ruins "an art project whose medium is rock band." The Los Angeles-based drummer — the former skins man for indie rockers Oliver Future who went on to join Ben Harper & Relentless7 — could also have described his collaboration with Fort Worth, Texas, pals Steve Seward, Sam Anderson and Jeff Dazey as some of the heaviest stoner jams to come around since black lights were all the rage and Zep was on repeat. ||| Download: "Child and Cobra" [...]

The seventh installment from All City Records ten part 10" series is here. "3012 Love Affair," produced by two thirds of the group Master Blazter, (soul junkie Dam Funk and beat maker Computer Jay) explores the instrumental infusion of electronica and funk. It's a jam track that allows Jay and Funk to effortlessly incorporate analog and high pitched synth samples with their Casio SK-12s, instilling this very laid back, funky ambiance.

In today's world of ever-changing sounds and "gear-head" technical jargon, there are a choice few artists who really push the boundaries of current sound technologies and make it big in the experimental genre. These musicians are constant creators of an unformulated sound; molders of an art with no foundation. They must constantly explore their own musical ability and experiment with the tools that are available to them. Today, I would like to talk about one such explorer who goes by the name of The Gaslamp Killer. Growing up in the Gaslamp District of San Diego, he developed a cult following [...]

Beautiful vibes on this one. </object> <span> Computer [...]
