Virtual Boy follow-up their great EPs with a disappointing effort, seeing them lose their flare dramatically. Virtual Boy fans need to organize a petition or a letter writing campaign begging Preston Walker and Henry Allen to stick with shorter EPs if Virtual Boy is what listeners can expect from their Music Player (reviews): [...]

Well before Dave Tompkins decrypted the DNA of the vocoder , it existed as Los Angeles' preferred funk steroid. No telling how many times the Troutman's soundtracked my juvenile declensions. Power 106 played "Computer Love" enough to make me wary of my shoddy Intel 486. Through the tubes Snufflupagusing out of his mouth, Roger was able to turn the talk box into the only instrument to make robots malfunction from an overdose of salt. That, the movie Wall-E, and any full project Wale has released since Mixtape About Nothing . Virtual Boy are dubiously old enough [...]

This will be a [...]
Los Angeles producer/dj duo, Virtual Boy, are the subject of today's post. These guys make a really interesting breed of music. Sounds like 8-bit video games meets Harry Potter meets Womp Womp. I freaking dig it, might you? Hedgwig's Theme - Virtual Boy - Harry Potter theme mix - I have no words. This is amazing. Like watching Harry Potter on a mix of ecstasy and acid. Ridiculous. Ennio Morricone - The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly - Virtual Boy Remix [...]
Photography: Unknown Virtual Boy come from the more known places of music, no wonder why. Virtual Boy - The Future Holds A Beat Ennio Morricone - The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly (Virtual Boy Remix)
Henry Allen et Preston Walker se sont rencontrés sur les bancs de la fac. Tous deux étudiants en musique classique à la Chapman University d'Orange, près de Los Angeles, ils découvrent qu'ils partagent plusieurs passions en commun: les vieux synthés , la musique électronique et les filles au look 602s qu'on voit dans les films de Godard . Ils décident de former un duo pour composer leur propre musique et se baptisent Virtual Boy en souvenir de cette incroyable console créée par Nintendo. Avec un professeur [...]
Everything is bound to get remixed these days. Remember the Lion King Stuntin Like Mufasa remix ? Or the Office theme Dwight Shrute vs Lil Wayne remix/mashup ? Well today I've got another that might be just as epic, it's got an electronic dubstep remix to one of the Harry Potter themes haha. It's done by Virtual Boy, and starts out a little slow and glitchy up until 1:45 and then drops, then has an even harder second drop. Turn the bass up, get down to the mood of Harry Potter, enjoy! Hedwig's Theme [...]
As the festival circuit grows more crowded with each lineup announcement and ticket sell-out, it's never been more essential that a music fest provide more than just music and fun in the sun, offering everyone - from casual music fans to the hardcore festival aficionado - a consistently fresh and rewarding experience. Judging by the manner with which its organizers have been forging their very unique identity since 1996, Lightning in a Bottle is surely one of the finest festivals around, combining a festival experience unlike any other (where else could you find electro-superstar Pretty Lights, fire-dancers, and a lecture on [...]
Lorin Ashton, better known as Bassnectar , is a festival phenomenon. The bass music DJ already has plans for over a dozen summer music festivals, including appearances at Sasquatch! and Summer Camp during Memorial Day weekend, yet the central California native still finds time to curate mini-festivals all on his own. Like his previous "Bass Center" events in Colorado and Asheville, NC, Bassnectar is bringing an evening of diverse electronic music to New York City's South Island Field on Governors Island. Dubbed "Bass Island", the August 13th event features rapper Lupe Fiasco, Prefuse [...]
virtual boy - "hedwig's theme (virtual boy remix)" (download) Southern California duo Virtual Boy (who took their name from the first video game console capable of showing "true 3d graphics") recently released their debut EP on Daddy Kev 's Alpha Pup Records . They've also been putting up these random remixes of tracks from the Harry Potter soundtrack, Cloverfield and Home Alone , to name a few. I'm not familiar with the [...]
Facebook | Website The launch pad is ablaze and the countdown has commenced. The spaceship is fully equipped with aAbleton, disco balls, and Transformers battling to Mozart. BOOM! Southern California's Virtual Boy (Henry Alan and Preston Walker) are hurtling towards space via the orchestra filled dance-floor. "Hotwiring naughty synth lines and dancefloor-crushing beats with elegant harmonic textures and twisted, pop-cultured hooks, Virtual Boy craft a grimy, cinematic sound all their own..." I literally got goosebumps the first time "Mass" came [...]
currently, i am in the warmth that is mexico! have been travelling around here for roughly a three weeks now and i have a lot more to explore! before that, as y'all might know, i was at burning man and made a west coast to east coast roadtrip out of it...camping in as many national parks as possible, being with nature, doing amazing hikes, and reconnecting. since my first burn, my music expansion became exponential. the new music i was listening to was an integral part of my travels in america too...a lot of music in this mixtape i was [...]
Some of you may remember my post a while ago featuring the Glitch Mob's "Drink The Sea" remix album, and now The Glitch Mob has released volume 2. If you already downloaded volume 1, all you need to do is go back to Donate To Download website and pick up the tracks for free. If you didn't grab the first volume, head to the site and donate some money to the cause for access to both volumes for free. It'll make you feel good about yourself and you get a little reward in the process so it's a [...]
Virtual Boy "Mass" from Alpha Pup on Vimeo . For all the bogus new-media cliches spouted about the 21st century music business, certain realities are immutable. Witness Alpha Pup, who along with Brainfeeder operate as the premier in-house labels of the Low End Theory (respect also due to Leaving Records, Friends of Friends, and Non Projects.) For an era ostensibly not beholden to regionalism, the community that's sprouted up has an uncanny resemblance to the old models. From Daedelus to Daddy Kev to Flying Lotus and Nosaj Thing, the majority of Low Enders are [...]

Los Angelesest tulev Virtual Boy kõlab nagu ühte suurde blenderisse oleks kokku sattunud Ratatat, 80ndate telekamängud ja Harry Potteri soundtrackid. Ja veel üht-teist. Veebruari esimesel päeval ilmub Virtual Boy'lt Alpha Pup Recordsi alt EP Symphony No. Nøne. Selleltsamalt EP-lt lugu number neli - seitse ja pool minutit pikk eepos Mass. Virtual Boy - Mass ( mp3 ) Ja kui juba eespool üht teatud võluripoissi mainisin, siis läheme konkreetsemaks ka. John Williamsi loodud ja dirigeeritud Hedwig's [...]

Tweet It's Sunday night and I'm about to eat Crunchy Nut Cornflakes and watch Match of the Day 2. 'Cereal in the evening?' I hear you cry, yes, that's right, I'm a trend setter. Get with it. You should also get with Virtual Boy . Thanks to Analog Giant for finding this tune. With this track, Mass , Virtual Boy have created an almost ghoulish, bleeping, synth screaming beaut. I particularly love the scrunching beat, it sounds [...]
Read about Virtual Boy on one of the best music blogs out there , listened to this track and was hooked. Virtual Boy comes out of the Low End Theory group in LA (Flying Lotus, Nosaj Thing, Gaslamp Killer etc.). Their EP Symphony No. Nøne will be released on 2/1/11 on Alpha Pup Records. This track is a spanning electronic track fully equipped with violins, organs and of course synths. The track has an almost classical or soundtrack quality to it. Really great track. Looking forward to the EP. [...]
