Artist: Eskmo

Created as a collaborative effort between Swan Palermo (of Pair Of Arrows ) Antler (Jason Collins) and Feldt (Ryan Beck), "Heart Murmur" was originally released to coincide with Valentine's Day, but we offer it here now free to download as a belated box of chocolates, yet definitely not stale! TThis track was written and arranged by all three, with lyrics by Swan . Both Feldt and Antler produced and engineered, with [...]

So far San Francisco's Pair Of Arrows ( Swan Palermo on vocals, R/D White) have only one song to their name, but what a song it is! Already strongly established as a respected music act in the world of glitchhop/electronica, R/D spent several years finessing his skills producing his own music as well as performing alongside Beats Antique and Glitch Mob ; Swan was simultaneously working with those producers (including Eskmo ), laying down tracks characterized by a trip-hop/chillwave ambiance, all the while remaining devoted to penning personal compositions set to [...]

Welder er bedst kendt under navnet Eskmo, hvor han producerer kluborienteret breakbeatpræget, dubsteppet og glictchet elektronisk musik. Under navnet Welder, laver han stadig elektronisk musik, men af en helt anden art med, i min optik, mere spændende virkemidler. Det er langt mere organisk lydende — ofte lyder det som et helt orkester, selvom det jo ikke kan passe i og med, Welder er et soloprojekt, så vidt jeg ved. Men Welder har mange andre tricks oppe i ærmet som er perfekt arrangeret og doseret. I flæng kan nævnes operaklingende vokaler, forvrængede vokaler, noget der lyder som et [...]

Eskmo behoeft geen introductie. Z'n alter ego Welder zal daarentegen bij een stuk minder mensen een belletje doen rinkelen. Brendan Angelides liet sinds 2006 al vaker als Welder van zich horen, z'n succes als Eskmo biedt nu ook Welder een groter podium. Dat dat nogal relatief is, bewijst het feit dat er nog amper over het album is geschreven en zelfs een invloedrijk medium als Resident Advisor nog geen enkele aandacht aan artiest en album heeft besteed. Waar Eskmo met name technisch en vooruitstrevend klinkt, is de Welder sound organischer, abstracter, [...]

Welder - Florescence Ancestor: 2011 San Francisco resident, musician, and producer Eskmo (Brendan Angelides) recently released the Florescence album under the pseudonym "Welder." Florescence is Welder's second album, the first being Vines and Stream , which came out back in 2006. Welder makes the musical transition seem easy, skillfully dividing the musical worlds of Eskmo & Welder. Angelides, as Welder, produces less obvious-bass driven and outgoing music. The sounds used are rich and deep, with multiple layers of instruments arranged into powerful and moving songs. During [...]

Fans of independent labels like Ninja Tune, Warp and Planet Mu may recognize Brendan Angelides from his work as Eskmo moreso than his work as Welder , but he's a prolific artist under both of these personas, identities that he keeps quite separate, as he discusses in Earmilk's interview (below). Welder 's new LP, Florescence , is due out on September 26 on his own label, Ancestor. I've listened to it several times already, and it's really a beautiful album. If you're more familiar with Eskmo than Welder, don't expect a clone - Eskmo [...]

For those of you in the US that have Music Beta by Google (or Google Music, as we like to call it), Ninja Tune has released this pretty incredible and moving mixtape exclusively from their own Eskmo , featuring the likes of DELS, Daedelus, Lorn, Toddla T and Bonobo, among many others. It's just over a half-hour of some of the best funky breaks and post-hip hop (is that a thing?) beat beauty. Tracklist: 01 Eskmo - Cloudlight (Ambient P stretch mix) 02 Kid Koala - Speed of Light (Space Cadet 10) [...]

Welder: "Run" (2011) by Welder SF's Brendan Angelides has been making waves lately as Eskmo , but he's now returning to his other project Welder , which mixes electronic and acoustic instruments into dynamic compositions. Welder's new album Florescence comes out on 9/26 on Angelides' Ancestor Media label, and you can download "Run" at his web site .

Brendan Angelides, best known for his work as Eskmo (a dubstep/breakbeat producer associated with well-loved labels like Ninjatune and Planet Mu), just released a track from his upcoming side project, Welder . The track, "Run", may have a familiar feel for those familiar with Eskmo's work, but incorporates a more lo-fi, playful tone, blending organic and digital production as he moves further away from the "dubstep" genre label. Welder's album, Florescence , will be out September 26 on Ancestor. Download: Welder - Run

Amon Tobin [ Ninja Tune ]: Official | Facebook | Twitter I had goosebumps when I was watching the video above.

In the 1960s, San Francisco certainly seemed like the place to be. The hippie counterculture movement of that period, specifically in this city, is something that's popular among historians, musicians, politicians, travelers, ramblers, and all in-between. And that's not a surprise… it was a pretty radical time. Many people today often talk about wishing they could time travel to the '60s to spend a day with Jerry Garcia and Janis Joplin. Maybe I've just been hanging around too many hippies lately. Outside Lands marked its fourth year by showing that after all this time, San [...]

Nestled within the pristine surroundings of Rothbury, MI's Double JJ Resort, newcomers to the area could not have expected the transformation that would take place over the extended Fourth of July Holiday. True, the resort held the previous Rothbury festivals, but with bill toppers Bassnectar, Skrillex, Edward Sharpe, and Pretty Lights, Electric Forest Festival brought a considerably different audience than the jam-band heavy editions of Rothbury. However, as in year's past, the cornerstone of the festival is the highly decorated Sherwood Forest. Holding a small stage, Sherwood Forest was also packed with hammocks available to the masses, an [...]

As in previous years, Outside Lands 2011 will feature a series of night shows to supplement the main festival lineup. The night shows will start the Wednesday before the festival, and conclude on the final night (August 10th - 14th), and will take place at the Independent , the California Academy of Sciences , and the Rickshaw Stop . The only catch: you can only buy tickets if you have a ticket to Outside Lands. Best Coast - "Gone Again" [...]

June in Barcelona is nothing less than magical, with the streets of the ancient city awash in golden light and the sun browned Spaniards and visitors sipping sangria at outdoor cafés and dancing the night away beside the Mediterranean. Add to this setting the multitude of the best DJs, producers, and electronic slanted bands in the world who flock to the city as part of Sonar festival, and you've got the perfect recipe for the best week of your life. The warm energy of the city melts seeps into the festival grounds and permeates the air, spreading a glow through [...]

2011 marks Sonar's 19th year and once again they've managed to delight and impress patrons from every corner of the globe. Set in the city centre of Spain's music capital, this three day bonanza is probably one of the most organised, pioneering, and well respected festivals around. Split into day - and nighttime - festivals, Sonar is spread across the beautiful city of Barcelona. It's only for Friday and Saturday that the festival lasts into night, though. On Thursday it's daylight hours only, but with the plethora of fine artists to choose from it's hardly a problem at [...]

A mashup which serves itself well enough as a remix in its own right.

Some people tend to complain about the noise ordinances at Chicago's Grant Park, which essentially shuts down Lollapalooza each night at 10 p.m. However, what they're forgetting is that while the festival closes its doors prior to midnight - unlike Bonnaroo, Sasquatch, etc. - the party doesn't stop there. Instead, the focus shifts to the city's countless venues, scattered all across the map. This includes the infamous Metro, Schubas Tavern, Reggie's Rock Club, Lincoln Hall, Double Door, and the list goes on. It takes some careful planning, but that's okay... especially when you have a month and some [...]
