Today Swedish party-starters Icona Pop just released a series of remixes of their ludicrously catchy single "I Love It." Among the dozen (or so) retakes on the delirious track is one by DC's very own Volta Bureau (comprised of DJs Will Eastman, Outputmessage, and Micah Vellian) which we were lucky enough to get our hands on first. Gone is the aggressive girl-power motif, replaced by brooding arpeggios and echoed vocals, and building slowly into a dark, techno dreamland. Check it out below, and listen to all of the remixes over at Icona Pop's [...]

Read on for our thoughts on the show and some great pics from Brian. Of course we had to arrive early for Orthy , who continues to impress on the Austin scene. Unfortunately, they were down [...]

Bernard Farley's (aka Outputmessage) latest release, the Quantum Love EP, is out today on Output Noise Records . Member of Volta Bureau and self-described math nerd, the DC-based producer has put together a five tracks which ruminate over the connection between love and physics. R&B ballad "Tachyons" is a highlight (named after theorized particles that bend the rules of time). Farley sings of a love that once was and how "nothing's gonna bring it back" despite his stubborn attempts. The result never appears forced. Instead, the track feels simple and earnest. And [...]

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 .

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 .
