fight for the feeling

i am genko @ parque kennedy
I am Genko - The Right Path I Am Genko - It's All Yours (Yohuna cover) There's no one in the world like Ricardo Gutierrez, his spirit drips in monome sequence with blinks I'm sure must cue up some incomprehensible beat patterns. For Ricardo's alter ego, and Lima, Peru's resident sonic-magician I Am Genko 2012 is a new year with new gear. Last time we checked in with Ricardo we were devastated to hear that his home had been broken into and instruments stolen, he had launched an [...]

song of the night

song of the night Magical Mistakes - Don't Need Much Magical Mistakes is everything I have ever wanted from the combination of acoustic and electronic. His recent release Special Friends EP was such an inspiration for what collaborations gone mind blowing and put can do. The themes of his songs resonate with the way I aim to live life and the steady flows keep you in a beautiful natural groove. Maybe we all need to spend a little bit more time in remote forests... His new single "I Don't Need Much" is somewhere between the Versus Kings [...]

The Range of Light
The Range of Light from ∞∞∞ on Vimeo . ( via Tiny Waves ) words by: Steve Head Creating a visual component that accurately captures the interior vistas that the Inner Islands crew summon is a magical feat and Lawrence Martinez succeeds effortlessly. Martinez compiled the film All Fire // Alight Light from a mixture of animation, expired film, and even super 8 shots from Kyle Wyss (Blind Man's Colour, Chromatic Flights ). Evocative images serve as [...]

Set FMLY Fest on Random
Set FMLY Fest on Random from Mick LeGrande on Vimeo . Over the past 8 months a beautiful man named Mick LeGrande has been documenting FMLY in Los Angeles with the intention of producing a full length called We Are FMLY . We have talked for a while about the importance of seeing what FMLY looks like across the world since it just wouldn't feel right unless you were in this too. So Mick has thought of a solution. We are going to open source the doc. If [...]

safe bicycling streets

safe bicycling streets Midnight Ridazz founder Roadblock has started writing very informative and somewhat cheeky articles for KCET's online blog. He recently posted this one to help cyclist and motorist understand how eachother work and can co-exist more safely. Los Angeles is a bike town in waiting. All the elements are there: year-round fair weather, relative flatness, big wide streets, insane traffic delays, the need for exercise in a city that lacks public parks and spaces. Studies show that 50% of trips made by car are less than a very bike-able 3 miles in [...]

The Search for FMLY
We thought it would be sweet to hold out a week before posting any of our own words regarding this stellar video that our buds at Tiny Waves put together, and that sweetness has totally settled like a blanket and touched all of our hearts. Just before parting ways in early January a few of us met at Centinela Park in Inglewood, Los Angeles, just a few blocks from the second day location of the fest, and began our New Year with this memorable conversation. Steve Head [aka Dark Sea of Awareness ] has described the context [...]

solipsistic sea

solipsistic sea Two of my best friends in the world mailed me a handmade tape from across the continent and it has seriously added to my long term happiness.  Posted it here on bandcamp for them.  Now it is possible to share it with people without having to force them to listen to my walkman(although I'll still definitely do that if I see you).

no mistakes

[via tiny waves] words by Steve Head Magical Mistakes - Running Water Special Friends EP by Magical Mistakes I was lucky enough to catch Magical Mistakes a few weeks back in the chillout tent at FMLY FEST. I had been frantically running around Chuco's trying to catch all the performances I could, but Magical Mistakes' music commanded my attention with its celestial atmosphere and meditative beats. Erik Luebs deftly mixes woozy acoustic and [...]

g hum parade
It's obvious that more is better than less in some cases. Sometimes all it takes is one person or entity to make something amazing and it always makes me ecstatic to just talk about out of "the norm" ideas. My friend Geoff Morgan used to fling his paint brush at a blank piece of sheet music and speckle the thing with water color. He would then proceed to write that music into an electronic music program on his computer as if he were that up and comer shredder Jason Becker, who lost feeling in his lower limbs only to lose [...]

LA plays itself

Los Angeles Plays Itself - Part 1 / 12
Whether you have been to LA or not, we are all affected by the idea and preconceptions of Los Angeles that are perpetuated by popular culture. LA is arguably the most popular character in Hollywood movies and has been portrayed in almost every way possible. Thom Anderson's documentary "Los Angeles Plays Itself" covers a lot of these identities of the city in an amazingly captivating three and a half hours. The movie was never released officially since it's made completely out of pieces of other movies, but thanks to the power of a free and open internet, we are able [...]

throwback party lovers Evan Voytas - You Don't Even Know Where It's At Evan Voytas - Feel Me by Dovecote Records Our boy Evan Voytas has been busy living it up touring the world with prolific soulster beat heads Gonjasufi and Flying Lotus , but he has never stopped creating weirdo dance classics in a high pitched climaxing manner. His early shows are still clear in my mind - watching him switch out tapes and dance from side to side with nothing but [...]

“do trust in the things you love”

dustin wong - sweetest pleasures while we live Back in April of last year I posted about the Do Lectures that take place annually in Wales, and recently I became pretty infatuated with one of their talks from photographer, musician, surfer Mickey Smith . With great humility Mickey presents his zest for life that too often goes unacknowledged, and around 10:40 he shows his short film, Dark Side of the Lens . I hesitate to tell ya any more because his words are too precious to summarize - carrying these [...]

“photography never interested me”

“photography never interested me” Magical Mistakes - Fetishization Jacob Holdt externalizes a bold gift of sincerity, and his approach to photography offers the most genuine and diverse portrayal of American life that I have ever witnessed. Beginning in Denmark in 1970, Holdt - 23 years old, fueled by idealism, and fed up with Danish support for US foreign policy in Southeast Asia - "immigrated" to Canada after receiving an invitation to work on a farm. His intent was to hitchhike from Canada, through America and Mexico, in order to arrive in Chile to support Marxist [...]

Jay Electronica - Annakin's Prayer
VerBS - Feelings Getting in The Way VerBS is the Homie. I wish that James Brown was still alive, because I'd love to set up a challenge between the two of them to find the true "hardest working man in show business." The last time I saw VerBS was at Home Room. He was closing out my video release party, but he had to jet over from a photo gig in some far-off part of town. He showed up without a set, slapped one together on his laptop in just a couple of minutes right as [...]
