The moment I heard James & Evander for the first time, I knew I'd stumbled upon something great. Synth pop has never been as prevalent as it is right now, but J&E have carved their own dreamy niche directly into it. They recently released their debut LP, Bummer Pop last week on Velvet Blue Music and again left us something that took our breath away. So what motivates these two to make such brilliant music? Jesus? Satan? Hard drugs and alcohol? Cats? We may never know... unless we ask them. [...]
Here's our latest month-in-review mix collecting some our favorite new (or new to us) songs recently posted on the website. So much good stuff came our way in April that we've actually got a two-part mix of blog songs this time. As always, we've included links below to download each of these songs individually. Mixtape: Best of the Blog April 2012 (Part 1) Mixtape: Best of the Blog April 2012 (Part 2) Tracklisting: [...]
Steezy Ray Vibes // "Empty City" (Demo) Did you guys get a chance to hear this new demo from Dan Casey's new side project? You will most likely know his as Yalls , but who knows, maybe after hearing this track that might change. The project, which is still very much in its infancy, is called Steezy Ray Vibes . Now I'm assuming that the name is a nod to Stevie Ray Vaughn (only my dad's favorite artist ever) which is fitting because the track is [...]
Another week, another always welcome dose of Yalls . The quickly-ascending Oakland musician recently posted two fresh instrumental cuts on Soundcloud , titled "Too Long" and "Grand Entrance," which you can listen to and download below. Both offerings showcase an electronic talent on a creative roll. "Too Long" would match an emotional film montage quite well, while "Grand Entrance" is titled perfectly - providing an anthemic tone and sounding, well, just plain grand . His next scheduled appearance is May [...]
Once Sacramento, now Los Angeles-based video producer Terroreyes.tv gives Oakland electronic musician Yalls a strong party-vibe look with this session. Staged during a recent weekend trip to Los Angeles, this performance receives friendly help from Dylan Travis ( Some Ember ). It gives the bright, lyrically memorable "Real Fantasy" a new perspective - the song's usual underwater echo has less impact on Dan's vocals, letting them fall further back in the mix. Both Yalls and Some Ember perform this Wednesday in Oakland at the first [...]
Yalls is the spinning name of producer Dan Casey from Berkeley, CA, maybe our writer hamarai knows him. Yalls makes a certain style of glitchy beats like a boop-blipped-out Flying Lotus; like, someone could go in on one of them but they'd have to really have a handle on their shit. Check out & download the two tracks he's released in the past seven days 'Too Long' and 'Grand Entrance' below and head to his soundcloud to check that dope back catalogue.

Was? Metropolis? Das ist doch schon uralt! Was wollen die denn jetzt damit nochmal? HD-Remake, Farbe oder gar 3D-Remake? Ach - papperlapapp! Gemeint ist hier nicht der Film von Fritz Lang, sondern das neust...
In part two of our coverage of the Noisepop Culture Clun's Seagate Remix Lounge, we have a remix by Yalls. In Part 1 we covered a couple of remixes from the event and now have another to share. The Yalls' remix of Sonny & the Sunsets' "I See the Void" has an extremely relaxing, dream-like feel to it represented by the soothing vocals of Sonny & the Sunsets and an interesting guitar riff that is sampled throughout the song. Some vocals were also chopped up and sampled throughout the song to give an [...]
Still flying mostly under-the-radar, the 2012 Sacramento Electronic Music Festival will feature a healthy showing of the Bay Area's best electronic musicians including Raleigh Moncrief , San Francisco producer and multi-instrumentalist Giraffage , the electro-pop of James & Evander , and Oakland-based producer Yalls . Sounds like a pretty good excuse to get out of the city and enjoy some of that beautiful, hot Sacramento spring weather. The festival takes place May 3, 4, and 5 [...]
A free download from the Berlin based duo The Sexinvaders and the Italian DJs, The Original Fakes. The "Metropolis" EP comes with more edits from names like Fukkk Offf, Yall and The Sneekers. Amusez-vous!

Making the monthly mixes usually results in having a bunch of good songs orphaned. In the past, I've had enough leftover material to make half editions of the Blogophilia mixes. This usually leads to confusion and questions about why have a half mix at all. I am not a fan of confusion, nor do I like to explain myself. So I've decided that there will be no more "half mixes" posted on the blog. Instead, we'll have a Biscuits & Gravy series, which reflects a surplus of good music that never made it to the monthly mix. I am a [...]

I'll admit, I was torn this day. As a fan of Cursive, it was a tough decision to turn down seeing the band perform that night and see Grimes at the Rickshaw Stop. Also I'd heard many flattering things about Austin's Ume (who was opening for Cursive that night) and her full-on rock onslaught. So my decision came down to who I hadn't seen yet, and while I've seen Cursive and Tim Kasher a few times already, I couldn't pass up seeing the Rickshaw Stop's impressive line-up of psychedelic electro-freak acts. The Bay's own Yalls, the theatrical Born Gold, the [...]
Live This Month: March 2012 — an audio guide through SF concerts this month (Podcast #274) In Live This Month , we sample some of the great local and out-of-town bands performing in the coming month in the San Francisco Bay Area.

But while most of the acts included in this episode will be doing [...]

Gold Robot is releasing the inaugural 73 of Yalls today, which is a unique mix of psych poppy vocals and straight forward instrumentation. Monter Rally lures the Bay Area producer to the tropics in this rework, wrapping his iridescent vocals with the loop heavy atmospheres we've all come to know and love.
