Allow me to introduce you to Bernard Farley, AKA Outputmessage . Hailing from Washington, DC he is "a vocalist, producer, DJ, record label owner, and math nerd." He specializes in IDM (Intelligence Dance Music) and saw his first release at the age of 20 whilst working on a Masters in Mathematics. So, not only can he work towards an advanced degree at an age where most college students are still figuring out what to do with their lives, he can excel in music as well. Way to make me feel lazy. The track that I've [...]

Volta Bureau is a DC based trio comprised of Will Eastman , Outputmessage and Micah Vellian . I was lucky enough to get the chance to attend the record release party for their single "Hope" this past weekend. It's a gorgeous track, meditative and calm, set to some slightly disturbing imagery in the video above. I'm always excited to hear wonderful things coming out of my hometown, and we can be sure to expect more greatness from these guys. For now, [...]

Small Black lit up DC9 with a healthy serving of electronic dream-pop this past Thursday night, and all for a good cause. The show was put on by the Monument Music and Arts Festival in support of the Grassroots Reconciliation Group , a charity dedicated to rehabilitating child soldiers in Northern Uganda. Along with support from Virginia's Cigarette and DC's own Outputmessage , the Jagjaguwar darlings wowed the crowd with a phenomenal, diverse set. As is with any band that, to their liking or not, falls into the "chillwave" camp, Small [...]

[RSS Readers: See post to listen to audio] The haziness that this Dirty Beaches song puts me in is just unbelievable, the man has honed in on the perfect balance of song writing and lo-fi decay. When Deadbeat is spot on his textured dub sound is some of my favorite, grabbing songs here and there from his discography can make on of the most enjoyable listens for someone that is new to experimental music. Outputmessage has become catchier and catchier, originally just making beautiful avant synth pieces but [...]

Yesterday, our good friends over at Output Noise Records hit us with some epic tunes from Dream Cop 's debut EP, Basement Tapes . The Blacksburg, VA native (Tommy Davidson) explores a wide range of aural landscapes, combining spacey lo-fi sounds with erie pitch-shifting melodies. The EP's single "Warm Thrash" is a prime example, as he fully explores these elements throughout the 5 minute track. Accompanying the release is a stellar rework by Outputmessage . MP3: Dream Cop - Warm Thrash [...]

Our friend Bernard Farley, a.k.a., Outputmessage shows Robyn some love with his reinterpretation of "None of Dem", another track off of her latest release, Body Talk Pt. 1 . Farley's version of the tune injects a bit more energy into the instrumental, with his dense and driving production adding an extra emphasis to her tongue-in-cheek lament. Arjan Writes has a stream of the track, and we suggest you go listen right now . And while you're at it, show the tune some love on Hype Machine .

I said I was going to have an original mixtape for you all this week, but real life beckoned and I ran short on time. Blah, blah, blah. Next week, I promise. Luckily our pal AutoRock saved the day, gracing my inbox with a great mix titled FONK . AutoRock put together FONK in honor of the two year anniversary of his monthly party, MASS APPEAL . FONK fits in nicely with the disco vibe we've had going on lately here at CreamTeam, taking you through 45 minutes of soulful, dancey electrofunk [...]

This is Outputmessage's second installment of the three EPs that will lead up to his next album. This time, he has taken two songs from his previous LP, Nebulae, and reworked them as vocal pieces. We also recruited the help of our friends in DC and beyond to remix the tracks, Resurface and Glintz. Notably, our friend, and recent Swedish transplant, Triobelisk (Swedish Columbia), remixes Glintz in his signature synth-heavy sci-fi stomp. Nacey (Noveau Riche), with his typically slick production, has taken Resurface into a pulsing minimal, yet warm, almost pastoral realm. The release is out now and has [...]
