Jason just hit me up with this amazing Back catalouge of fresh out the box lable Nightshifters . And sloppy as I am i slept on posting it for about a week... Well, here goes: Berlins favourite Jason Forrest , and New Yorks favourite 4AM Jess knocked their heads and came up with this amazing lil lable... This is really the way of recordlabeling (is that even a verb?). With their massive geografical spann, US to Germany they are gonna be sure to pick up on the latest where ever the latest might be.

It's been a whole new (dark) age since Polvo's landmark 1994 Merge EP, Celebrate the New Dark Age . On "Dark New Ages", multifaceted Berlin-based electronic producer Jason Forrest reassembles that EP's fragmented guitars into a dizzying five-minute glitch-core megamix. Forrest did this one for fun, but another of his remixes will appear on the remix compilation included in Merge's 20th-anniversary Score! box set series . People who subscribe for Score! bonuses will hear stuff like this first [...]
By Conan The Destroyhhher The man behind the moniker of DJ Donna Summer has done it all empirically over the many years of his existence thus far. Jason Forrest (Born n bred in South Carolina, U.S.A) has been a solo noise artist, an art critic for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution news paper, holds a BA in Photography, and has previously worked as a professional artist. In fact my
Jason Forrest (aka Donna Summer) is one of those electronic producers who I especially respect because: 1) his productions aren't limited to any single genre 2) unlike most producers these days, he's familiar with non-dance music, as well as underground music that existed before the 1990s 3) he legitimately likes the music he samples, and doesn't do it in an ironic or mocking way 4) he's a really nice guy Forrest runs Cock Rock Disco, a label that focuses mainly on breakcore. While some of his music could be labeled breakcore, a lot of it [...]

This post is long, and overdue, but I wanted to be thorough and include all the bands I saw. I missed most of Wednesday due to work, but packed in enough free shows Thurs.-Sun. to more than make up for it, although I am getting kind of old and took it easy in the evenings for the most part. I've finally gone through hundreds of pics (click on pictures below for larger image), and will include mp3s from each band below and hopefully a link to some of their live SXSW sets, since they did almost all give me free [...]
Big up the man like Turrell . It's like a walk-in Rothko, a bath of colour where the attendants keep sponging you down until you've got washerwomen's hands, only you're wrinkly due to colour saturation, not water. Well, there are attendants, although unfortunately they don't sponge you down. The first piece requires the eyes adjust as you gradually descend into the room, the other senses lagging behind but just as keenly involved when the piece reveals itself. The colour infuses the room like a virgin teabag introduced to hot water, and it does feel physical; the purple tingling on [...]
All this talk of DJs made me remember Jason Forrest. When I played "War Photographer" this past Friday, one of our top Journalism professors at UK called in to express his love for it. Apparently he's a big Blood, Sweat and Tears fan, so he was quite smitten with it. MP3: ...
