RJD2'S ICEBIRD TAKES OFF

Oct 24, 2011, 4:53am Indie30
Icebird (RJD2 & Aaron Livingston) - Charmed Life
American producer and electro heavyweight RJD2 (aka Ramble "RJ" John Krohn) has been around for a while, releasing his debut LP nine years ago, and is known to many through the brilliant AMC series Mad Men, which features the beginning of his track 'A Beautiful Mine' as its opening titles theme. His discography is impressive with four albums, six mix albums, five instrumental LPs and copious singles and EPs. 2011 sees him trying something new, and the RJD2 + Aaron Livingston partnerership, known as Icebird, is his new project. The sounds are crisp, fresh and soulful with Livingston (from Philadelphia [...]

Icebird – The Abandoned Lullaby

Oct 23, 2011, 11:00am Potholes In My Blog
Icebird – The Abandoned Lullaby Icebird - The Abandoned Lullaby RJ's Electrical Connections: 2011 Rjd2 is a marketplace artisan. He knows what he sells and he sells what he knows—the acquaintance goes both ways. Since rolling into the music scene as a DJ and producer in the early aughts, he has gained a reputation for weaving the forgotten patterns in yesterday’s music into the textures of today and creating a masterful patchwork of turntable art. He understands that his talent is a desirable commodity, and he sells it, like a shady flea market dealer with [...]

Interview With Icebird (rjd2 & Aaron Livingston )

Oct 20, 2011, 5:01am donewaiting.com
I interviewed RJD2 , and Aaron Livingston about their new project Icebird , and asked them about a few songs on Icebird's album the Abandoned Lullaby . The conversation got pretty intricate. I was convinced RJ should review records, and Aaron should teach history after this interview was over. In what way to film scores influence on making instrumental records? RJ: In general what kind of influence do they have? Even before the The Insane Warrior record I had kind of [...]

RJD2 @ Union Transfer (10/14)

Oct 18, 2011, 12:03am WQHS-The Blog
RJD2 @ Union Transfer (10/14) Arriving at Union Transfer a little later than I would have liked to, we stumbled into the beginning of Icebird’s set. Such was the slightly ad-hoc setup onstage at UT - the latest venue championed by Philadelphia promotion giants R5 Productions - that I recognized Ramble John “RJD2” Krohn over by the keyboards and so surmised that for once, the venue manager had been right and the main event was starting on time. Not only had Philly local RJD2 turned up on time but he’d brought a whole band of hip cats with him to do the honours of bolstering [...]

LIVE: RJD2 & Icebird

Oct 14, 2011, 4:36pm dipped in dollars
LIVE: RJD2 & Icebird Last night I was fortunate enough to catch RJD2 at the 9:30 Club here in DC, along with his newest collaborative effort with Aaron Livingston , Icebird (opening for yourself, how badass is that?). A not quite sold out, but still packed crowd made it out in the rain to bask in the music. With RJD2 's electronic past, and a name like Icebird it's easy to conjure up an image of their sound, unfortunately it would be completely wrong. Their debut album, The Abandoned Lullaby [...]

Weekend Picks: Deer Tick at UPenn, RJD2 + Icebird at Union Transfer, Slutever + Break It Up at Kung Fu Necktie

Oct 14, 2011, 10:30am The Key
Weekend Picks: Deer Tick at UPenn, RJD2 + Icebird at Union Transfer, Slutever + Break It Up at Kung Fu Necktie FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14 Deer Tick takes all the right steps to stay disheveled yet oddly dapper. Though members of the Providence-based group typically come equipped with the standard beards and other facial hair common for their country-tinged folk genre, they still manage to channel a retro, Don Draper-esque appreciation for suit jackets and nice shades. This same balance between shabby and chic resonates in the group’s relentlessly heavy emphasis on guitar-driven rock, songs often wavering between thick, overwhelming chord progressions and delicate, almost dainty, riffs. The opening track of the group’s latest album,  [...]

Icebird (RJD2 & Aaron Livingston) Remix Contest

Oct 12, 2011, 1:40pm Pigeons and Planes
Icebird (RJD2 & Aaron Livingston) Remix Contest Icebird , the duo comprised of producer RJD2 and singer Aaron Livingston, fucked around and made a really great album. You've probably heard both of the artists before (RJD2 from his work with Def Jux, Aaron Livingston from his work with The Roots), and never thought "obvious match," but that's what makes it so great. Aaron Livingston has a soulful, old school feel to his voice, and RJD22s backdrop gives it that modern edge. Candy Panther just dropped a remix to "Charmed Life." If you like it, you can download it for free. Think you could [...]

Album Review: Icebird – The Abandoned Lullaby

Oct 12, 2011, 8:00am Consequence Of Sound
RJD2 is known for his grooving, usually wordless musical explorations; Aaron Livingston is known for his work with Philly-based band The Mean. When you put them together, you get… some fairly standard remix material. The Abandoned Lullaby mashes up electronic and crunk with some interesting results, but while the pairing is initially fresh, after a while the music begins to sound like what plenty of other DJs do live. To be fair, the collaboration is certainly interesting, and fans of the Mean’s country-flavored rock will appreciate this disc, which [...]

Ced Hughes – Ced Colossus [EP] [Potholes Premiere]

Oct 11, 2011, 10:00am Potholes In My Blog
When Austin, Texas-by-way-of-Virginia Beach, Va. rapper Ced Hughes heard RJD2 's The Colossus , he wasn't only intrigued by what he was listening to on his stereo. He was inspired . So inspired, in fact, that Hughes began thinking about how he could pay homage to the album. And finally, it clicked: he'd take choice cuts from the album and create his own project as a tribute to The Colossus . That's what brings us to the aptly titled Ced Colossus , a seven-track free  EP featuring Hughes at [...]

Concert Round Up: October 11-18

Oct 10, 2011, 4:31pm The HiFi Cartel
Tuesday, October 11th, RJD2 and Icebird, Brooklyn Bowl, Tickets $15 10 years! My god, that is a LIFETIME! I cant believe I have been making records on a national level for 10 years. In 1999, I was just making these little beats in my bedroom for release on an independent label. Fast forward to 2009, and I’m….making these little beats in my bedroom for release on an independent label. But when it all comes down to its most base level, the goal is still the same: to make a piece of music that [...]
