My bud Tim Rosa mentioned to me the other day that Little Dragon’s newest release “Machine Dreams” was amazing, man he was right! Little Dragon’s singer Yukimi Nagano is a Swedish-Japanese vocalist and has a singing style somewhat reminiscent of Santogold but, only a thousand times better (I can’t stand Santogold)! I won’t be surprised if Little Dragon blows up here shortly because they are amazingly talented in all regards. Daedelus’s track “Admit Defeat” comes from his 2005 EP “Throw a Fit”. It’s a beautiful track that at moments breaks free with melody but then quickly switches gears into broken cuts and samples. Porn Sword Tobacco’s track “The Lavalife” is one that requires close attention when listening to in order to appreciate the subtle song progression. It’s definitely mood music.

Enjoy!




Little Dragon : Blinking Pigs

Low budget feel but, works so well with the song. Doesn’t help if you’re sexy as hell!





Daedelus rocking out with his home made bitbox

The first time I saw Daedelus live was here in Sacramento, CA along with Tycho and LED Soundsystem. At the time I’d never seen a bitbox used before and after Daedelus set up using only his laptop and bitbox I was blown away! Here’s an example of how he destroys it!
