Lazer Sword, the duo comprised of Antaeus Roy (a.k.a Lando Kal) + Bryant Rutledge (a.k.a. Low Limit) released their sophomore album, Memory, last week on Monkeytown Records. Memory may not be a... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
★★★★☆ Capitalizing on bass music's extended reach, Lazer Sword lock in on a sound where the walls are closing in. You have "Point of Return" bashing away, and "Out the Door" really putting the squeeze on you. Through kindheartedness or luck the San Francisco swordsmen then let you push out into freedom, creating an LP programming a kind of concertina effect for speaker stacks, thrusting then recoiling. Mastering the lithe yet heavy, the hammer and tong of juke in near casual cruise control will never give you a moment's peace – this is a Monkeytown product [...]
Photo by Christopher Wilson [Monkeytown Records] California/Berlin production team Lazer Sword spent much of their early years working on glitchy, bassy variants of instrumental hip-hop, most notably Bay Area hyphy music. Recently, however, the duo have inched ever closer to European club electronics, draining off much of the excess of that early template. Lando Kal's (his other half is Low Limit) solo material has recently moved in [...]
Producteur hors-pair, le natif new-yorkais Machinedrum nous présente une ré-édition de son album sorti l'an dernier, Room(s) . Influencé le plus souvent par la footwork, Travis Stewart parvient à chacune de ses sorties musicales à combiné son style de prédilection à la bass music anglaise. Pour cette extension de l'album Room(s) , on retrouve outre la tracklist originale, trois morceaux précédemment sortis sur l'EP Sacred Frequency , ainsi que le titre TMPL . A découvrir également trois morceaux inédits, Diepure , From Now On et Mondo Cane . La générosité [...]
Quite a bassy Londoney affair last month for me, of course accompanied by a dash of European and American bass music from French Fries' ballroom influenced 'Yo Vogue' to Helix's Night Slugs white label 505 rave extravaganza 'Drum Track' (renamed 'No Hook No BS' as the vocalised version with MC Flirta D). Get all these tracks wherever you can. Peace. DEEPEND - W.A.B. MARCH 2012 MIX Tracklisting: Boddika - Acid Jackson (Swamp81) [...]
Lando Kal (a.k.a. Antaeus Roy) is one half of West Coast beats production team Laser Sword . As he once again hits out on a solo vibe, we see him getting down and dirty with the Detroit V Berlin influenced EP for the stellar Hotflush label. There are also hints of jungle and rave in there to create what is for us his best EP to date. Due to land on the 9th April, this is yet another Hotflush essential purchase.
Modeselektor's Monkeytown Records have announced they will be releasing the long-awaited second album from LA duo Lando Kal and Low Limit aka Lazer Sword . Just under two years since the release of their debut LP Lazer Sword are releasing 'Memory', a notable departure from the wobbly dubstep and thumping electroclash of Lazer Sword past. With Modeselektor and Monkeytown's track record being pretty much a perfect ten right now, it should stand to reason that this will be at least half as good as the latest Mouse [...]

You might have heard of these dudes before. Spawned around the San Francisco Bay, Low Limit from Portland, Oregon (who has since been a Brainfeeder favourite) and Lando Kal (who moved to New York, now Berlin) formed as one under the name Lazer Sword . They've released a split 123 on Glasgow's Numbers label, and an album on Innovative Leisure . Seperately, Lando has released stuff on Numbers , Amsterdam's Rush Hour and London's Hotflush , whilst Low Limit has put out on Manchester's Fat City [...]
I thought that the time was ripe for another post outlining a few things I've been particularly enjoying over the last few months as the summer leaves us and we make the inevitable move into winter; albums and tracks filled with cold sounds with occasional hints of warmth. At risk of confusing casual readers and making this sound like a food blog, I'll quickly move on to the music itself. One of Autumn's unexpected surprises has been Surkit Chamber: The Melding , the new album from underrated Detroit techno producer Reel [...]
Artwork by Atelier Olschinsky [ Rush Hour Direct Current ] With dubstep, the conversation always begins in the UK, and no matter how far afield you take it - Brooklyn, Poland, Japan, even Arkansas or Iowa or wherever else Skrillex is playing eight shows in a row tonight - it inevitably ends up back there. But it's not like these so-called [...]

As one half of Lazersword, San Francisco native Lando Kal turned quite a few heads. Now based in Berlin, his solo releases have shown a very different side to his musical style. Since his split Golden Handshake EP with his Lazersword partner Low Limit on Numbers, Lando Kal impressed with his release for the legendary Hotflush Recordings. 'Further', the stand out track from that release, saw
The demo version of Ghostpoet's "Liiines" was one of top tracks off of Gilles Peterson's Brownswood Bubblers 6 and two new remixes help re-imagine the jam in fractal, fun ways. xxxy 's take sticks closest to the original, maintaining the hypnotic bass but upping the BPM and skittish drums. Lando Kal (one half of Lazer Sword ) goes in a far different, dub-filled space. Stream both songs after the jump, buy the original on iTunes , and keep an eye out for Peterson 's Brownswood Bubblers 7 for the next great track.

В двух словах хочу рассказать о Lando Kal - половинке проекта Lazer Sword , который намного опередил своего 'старшего брата'. Достаточно странным кажется его творчество, направленное в сторону Туманного Альбиона, ведь он родом из Сан-Франциско. Хотя, сейчас-то он проживает в Берлине! Но, наверное, это и дало такое толчок такому интересному скрещению холодных атлантических техно/гараж ритмов и теплого вонки, даже рнб-настроения с Западного Побережья, которым он славится как продюсер.

Depuis quelques temps déjà, l'électro s'associe de plus en plus au monde du Rap en général. J'ai pu notamment m'en rendre compte en écoutant avec effroi LA radio "rap and r'n'b non stop" ou il faut croire tout est permis, (écouter ne serait-ce que 10 minutes vous verrez). Je ne citerai donc pas en exemple les featurings calamiteux entre un certain Snoop et le français à mèche bientôt quarantenaire le plus connu au monde, tout comme les hits des rois du sampling made in the USA qui préfèrent davantage se montrer dans des défilés avant de penser Musique avant [...]
Next Monday - September 5th - will see the digital release of Ghostpoet's third single from his Mercury nominated debut album, ' Peanut Butter Blues and Melancholy Jam' . Entitled, ' Liiines ,' you might remember us posting the official video back towards the start of August. As mentioned in the video post, the incredible remixes come from the Manchester producer Xxxy and from one-half of Lazer Sword, Lando Kal . Preview both the remixes after cut and make sure you pre-order the single now. [...]
[Hotflush Recordings] With all the justified hubbub and excitement around Machinedrum and his fantastic album Room(s) this year, it's easy to forget that he's one half of Hotflush duo Sepalcure. Which is why this after the fact remix EP makes for a good reminder, a little bit of "don't forget about us" as the duo wrap up work on their promised debut album. Based around the first EP they released [...]
