Another crisp based selection makes the cut this week and this time it's the turn of the Space Raiders . These rather tasty snacks feature a crisp in the shape of a head of an alien (shaped like famous image of The Greys ) and the Spicy badboys are my particular faves. You'll need at least a couple of bags to see you through today's fine selection of tunes. First up we have a lovely Steve Mason rework from Hyetal courtesy of XLR8R . Taking Mason's vocal and wrapping it around [...]
Two weeks ago I was privileged enough to see Shlohmo live at the FoF anniversary party here in LA, where he debuted a handful of tracks off his upcoming Bad Vibes LP. The first part of his set was a mish-mash of beat music and LCD rap, but the tone had clearly changed once he announced he'd previewing new material. What followed was a hazy plethora of new songs that defined a clear lineage to artists from Low End Theory, but also featured a new tinge of R&B-infused, experimental tunes that left most of the crowd speechless and [...]
Shlohmo has a full-length debut coming up called Bad Vibes , and today he decided to unleash a lush single from it to get us all sorts of excited. "Just Us" tangles beautiful melodies with cranking drums and euphoric sound effects to create a truly masterful song. This is yet another step in the right direction for the young L.A. producer Henry Laufer. Bad Vibes will be available August 9 via Friends of Friends . [ via ] Hit the skip to stream "Just Us".
Cali-based producer gears up to release his awaited debut album...
A few words from Shlohmo: "Hey guys. I know it's been fuckin forever and I owe all of u big things that i may or may not be able to provide. my presence on here has been lacking as fuck to say the least. it's been a busy few months, what can i say. expect [...]
As a little teaser for his album coming out next month, Shlohmo has just released three free tracks for download. He's taken Gucci Mane, Kelis and Wacka Flocka Flame and turned them on their heads. It's a typical weird mix of heavy-duty gangster rap with a beat which moves between head-nodding 8-bit beats and melancholic synth lines. Download here . I'm Da Shit (Shlohmo Remix) , Milkshake (Shlohmo remix) , Hard In Tha Paint (Shlohmo's sit down remix)
Shlohmo - Places This is the title track from Shlohmo's 'Places EP' which was released in March. It's a real nice lil EP with a chill ambient vibe, it's quite an abstract and fresh intepretation of beatmaking, using no samples, just original recording. I urge you to check it out. Anyway, the reason why this is relevant is because finally yesterday (at the time of writing) we got a release date for Shlomo's debut LP 'Bad Vibes', an album he dropped out of college to work on. It's gonna be out August the 9th, 14 tracks [...]
La's Shlohmo might be a genius... at the very least a miracle worker. In his new remix EP he has taken at least one song that I despise and actually had me listen to it multiple times. On a certain level I feel like it is a case of saying helllo Thomas Keller, welcome to Iron Chef and your secret ingredient is... gym socks, sucka!!!! Either that or he is just showing off. We heart what we have heard from Shlohmo and this EP only makes us love him more in a weird way though. The [...]
Welcome to Awesometown! At WEDIDIT , (a few daze ago) Shlomo announced his proper debut LP. Titled Bad Vibes, the record will be released via Friends of Friends, August 9th. I highly reccomend checking the original post , the man himself has made a three-paragraph announcing the album, and introducing this lil remix EP. He talks about dropping out of college and everything, it's kind of like super informative and gives you an idea of what he's about. The track list is there, too. There are 3 tracks zipped up. Shlohmo - Remixes Vol. 2 [...]
In preparation for his upcoming full length Bad Vibes , Pacific coast beatsmith and Wedidit inductee Henry Laufer ( Shlohmo ) has offered up some long awaited remixes for Kelis, Wacka Flocka Flame and Gucci Mane. The three syrup dripped remixes are testimonial to Laufer's bedroom melodies and clanking percussion. Shlohmo's upcoming Bad Vibes LP is due out August 9th both digitally and through limited edition vinyl pressings. Shlohmo - The Remixes Vol.2
Shlohmo announced his upcoming album, Bad Vibes , on the We Did It Collective blog today. Along with that he gives us 3 excellent bass braking remixes for free. Real fun stuff, download below... Shlohmo - Remixes Vol.2 (click to download) Kelis - Milkshake (Shlohmo Remix)
So as many of you know I have been very busy with Military stuff. So I would like to apologize for not posting as much. I have been trying to go through the submissions so that I can make a post. Please be patient and please don't submit multiple times I will get to it. Thanks. I hope everyone has been having a great past couple of weeks. I will be back on the grind in July that is when I'll be done with this stuff and i'll be back 100% so please just hang in there just a tiny [...]
Just a week ahead of their first anniversary party at the Echoplex here in Los Angeles, FoF Music has released a free sampler featuring many of the artists that will be performing at the show next Saturday, including Groundislava, Salva, Shlohmo, Baths, Mexicans With Guns and JonWayne. The I'll Be Your Friend sampler is arranged quite nicely and somehow manages to encapsulate the label's wide array of stand-out producers, from the edgier techno-driven sounds of Mexicans With Guns to the more downtempo, ambient style of Shlohmo. Even if the sampler isn't quite your taste, you [...]
Groundislava , Shlohmo , Mexicans With Guns , and Salva all have something in common and no , it's not the fact that they all make equally dope electronics-driven music. Give up? Well, maybe the logo above this text will help. If it doesn't look familiar, that's the mark of Friends of Friends , a collective/label that is one of the main reasons those four talented cats landed on our radar. And yesterday, the staff of FoF dropped off this great sampler, I'll Be Your Friend , that features three tracks each from [...]
Chris Daly normally blogs odd at this site. He believes Hoon is a funny word to type. If the death of Shannon Hoon serves no other purpose, clearly it is to remind us that three is the magic number. Heeding that wisdom, the increasingly impressive brain trust at Friends of Friends Network decided to fuck it all and throw Shlohmo and JonWayne into a beat blender with new up and comer Groundislava (who you may recall from his Book of Tech EP ) on the freaky and yet aptly [...]
Yours Truly is one of our favorite blogs of all time, and they sent over this mini-documentary they did with Shlohmo a few weeks back. The feature primarily focuses on the creative process behind his Places EP, and he also remixed the track exclusively for their site. It's exciting to see WEDIDIT 's poster boy get in deep with his origins. You can purchase Places on iTunes for only $3.96. Shlohmo - Places [...]
Groundislava - Shlava (ft. Shlohmo & JonWayne) Groundislava - The Dig Jasper Patterson AKA Groundislva, is a 20 year old from Venice making a big splash on the headphone music scene with 8 bit video game-inspired sounds reminiscent of contemporaries like Baths, Shlohmo & Nosaj Thing. His awesome self-titled effort is out now on Friends of Friends. drink the kool aid:

In between killing their live show, they took some time to talk to Mostly Junk Food about the tour, their feelings about being an electronic artist today, as well as their favorite junk food. SWAG.
