Ninja Tune artist Daedelus has compiled a mix of his favourite tunes, spanning "everything from barbershop quartet to psychedelic Tropicalia to deep jazz" and it's free to download. Via Tokion magazine.

My new friends over at Electronic Austin are posting some great things regarding the ever-present, but admittedly grounded, electro-club scene here in Austin. "Club scene" obviously can have a particularly vague and ominous subtext. However, this site has found a way to circumvent faulty translation and misdirection, as well as avoid tiresome sub-genre categorizing: THEY DON'T POST SHITTY MUSIC. Having said that, I now feel confident enough to humbly pass on their words of recommendation regarding some of the better live shows going on in town. Though such major events are few and far between, [...]

Matthew Kelly, Frankie Koroshec and their bandmates in L.A. rock quintet the Autumns have announced plans to release their long-awaited sixth album, "Fake Noise From a Box of Toys," on April 15 in the U.S. When the band played a run of dates last May at Spaceland, its new material proved very challenging -- having moved beyond by-the-playbook dreampop and shoegaze, the Autumns' furious rhythms and interwoven guitars demanded more than casual attention. I haven't heard the whole record, but here's a taste (no live dates scheduled as of now): ||| Download: [...]
These guys have an incredibly intriguing quality to their work, those producers out of L.A.-Daedelus. Piano is interspersed with a woman singing background vocals set to techno bump and grind delicacy. It's a sound that's definitely unique, cutting up different...

Experimental beats typically manage to accomplish only one thing on a consistent basis: bother the fuck out of me. To be clear, I am a fan of almost anything experimental. But when it comes to rhythm sections, there is a fine line between experimentation and pissing around. Daedelus has, perhaps out of sheer dumb luck, found that line on Was Waiting from Of Snowdonia, and manages to skirt it magnificently. The song's wonderfully crafted synth melodies provide the basic structure through which the snare drum bounces around in a slippery fashion always able to avoid prediction; just when [...]

Busdriver drops by again to give us his take on his recent tour. If you missed his first entry , you should check it out first. Let's turn it over to Regan... Hot Spots: The State of Texas Though most would regard Texas as a cumbersome, bulky tumor that dangles from the chode of America, it can be quite charming when it wants to. Especially when thrown on the bill with of-the-moment [...]

Thanks to Rich of Cable & Tweed for the heads-up on the Next to Last Festival , which will be held in Athens, Georgia on December 8-9. There aren't nearly enough festivals in the winter and in my opinion, there should be more. Personally, I love cold weather and wouldn't have any problem at all standing outside to watch amazing bands perform. Admission will be $15 a day and $20 for the entire weekend. Here are some more details below (full details are on the website ), along with [...]

Daedelus - Fair Weather Friends (Ninja Tune 2007) Daedelus – Fair Weather Friends EP / Ninja Tune Like him or not, Santa Monica, CA soundscaper Alfred Weisberg-Robert aka Alfred Darlington aka Daedelus always brings interesting music to the table. Releasing an album per year since 2002 with a good number of EPs, 12 inches, remixes and singles sprinkled throughout the downtime, Daedelus's prolific recorded output is only outdone by his penchant to practically reinvent his sound with each release. With his one-of-a-kind sample-triggering box, coattails and [...]
Sometimes you just crave something different. When I use the word different, I mean Daedelus. He is the definition. Known as Daedelus Digitalis Darlington aka Vinegar Valentine, he puts together music that sounds like "hopefully sleepy kittens, more like nervous bunnies." He's a master of putting together forgotten sounds with intricate beats and off-kilter tempos. He's not for everyone, but deserves a good long listen. His albums can take hold and transport you out of this mundane life into a world where colors turn sepia and flowers bloom inside...huh...sorry...just listen [...]

So that when he would jump on people I'd say "DOWN TEMPO!"...I'm so serious that's gonna happen one of these times. Just you wait. Anyways I was flippin through some tunes and found two downtempo/electronic/chill songs and couldn't wait to share them. Then I thought, why not a whole mix? Why the picture of sushi? That's a pic of my friend's dish at Komasa in Little Tokyo, one of our favorite joints, the dish is called Chirashizushi , it's a mixture of deliciousness. I mention it cause ideally listening to downtempo, eating sushi, reading the news with a light [...]

. There was once a great actor named George C. Scott. He was on stage in the Delacourt Theater in Central Park, where they do Shakespeare every summer, and he was playing Shylock in The Merchant of Venice. At one point he took the robes he was wearing and just started flipping them up in the air, out of nowhere. And later, an actor said to him, "What was that, George, what were you doing?" And he said, "They were sleeping." You're always trying to catch them. We're charlatans in a way, we're magic [...]
