oct coming fire

Just returning from checking out Gang Gang Dance perform in Pioneertown and Los Angeles.
the desert show was magical!
the band played two new songs and they were given a new head dress that fell from the sky.
I watched a mix of Buffalo Bill wannabees and dudes who looked like extras from 127 hours, get loaded on beer and boomers, then run around the desert saloon all night. straight psychedlia.
Back in civilization; GGD made many more followers in LA this time around. Their headline set at culture collide was one of the tightest I’ve ever seen, full of
closed eyes and gyrating bodies for the entire hour set. LA got blissed out for a spell.

Gang Gang Dance, Win Win and Panda Bear records are in…Pantha Du Prince has a trick up his sleeve, and I don’t think Dam Funk Sleeps…
lets go 2011!

favorite vinyl re-issue of 2010

I’m usually not one for year end “bests”, but this such a great record I want to tell people about it.
You might think it would be to preachy and what ever else goes along with your typical stereotypes of Gospel music, but the beats and arrangements make it defy any obvious genre tagging. It’s simply great music with no baggage and the fact that people are reaching and reached higher planes through making and listening to this music makes it that much more enjoyable

BUY IT!

I feel it coming in the air…

the changes are in the air, but hold tight friends…
THE GANG GANG DANCE, WIN WIN RECORDS AND SOME AMAZING DAM FUNK REMIXES ARE COMING!

WIN WIN

WIN WIN

FIRST SINGLE “RELEASERPM” ( featuring Lizzi Bougatsos of GANG GANG DANCE) OUT JANUARY 18TH, FULL SELF-TITLED ALBUM DUE FEBRUARY 15TH!

ACCOMPLISHED PRODUCER AND IN-DEMAND REMIXER ALEX “XXXCHANGE” EPTON HAS COME TOGETHER WITH LIFELONG FRIEND CHRIS DEVLIN (OF DEVLIN & DARKO AND VIDEO-COLLAGE ARTIST/PRODUCER GHOSTDAD TO FORM WIN WIN. THE SELF-TITLED PROJECT ON VICE MUSIC SERVES AS A UNIQUE MODEL FOR THE FUTURE OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC PERFORMANCE, HAVING SPROUTED FROM THE DESIRE TO SUPPLEMENT THE AUDITORY STIMULI WITH A VISUAL ELEMENT THAT SHIFTS WITH THE MOOD OF THE MUSIC. WIN WIN’S MUSICAL EFFORTS ARE MANIFESTED VISUALLY BY BROOKLYN-BASED VIDEO COLLAGIST, GHOSTDAD, WHO DREDGES POP-MEDIA ARCHIVES AND RE-ASSEMBLES CLIPS LIVE, JUXTAPOSING MOVING IMAGES FOR OPTIMUM EFFECT.

XXXCHANGE FIRST MADE NATIONAL HEADLINES AS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF ELECTRO-RAP TRENDSETTING GROUP SPANKROCK IN 2005. WITH SO MANY SOUND-ALIKES POPPING UP IN THE WAKE OF THEIR DEBUT ALBUM YOYOYOYOYO, ALEX REFINED HIS APPROACH AND DEVELOPED A REPUTATION FOR HIS MINIMAL, DISCO-TINGED INSTRUMENTAL WORK. FEW HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO REMIX SUCH A DIVERSE, CREDIBLE ARRAY OF MUSICIANS AS XXXCHANGE, WHOSE RESUME INCLUDES OFFICIAL INTERPRETATIONS OF THOM YORKE, THE DEATH SET, BJORK AND MANY, MANY MORE. ALEX HAS SINCE ACHIEVED A FULL-ON SONGWRITING CREDIT FOR THE KILLS WHILE PENNING HALF OF KELE’S EPONYMOUS DEBUT EARLIER THIS YEAR. DEVLIN WON SUCCESS AS A MEMBER OF POPULAR DJ DUO DEVLIN & DARKO WHILE ALSO CONTRIBUTING HEAVILY TO THE SPANKROCK ALBUM AS WELL.

WIN WIN, THE SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM SLATED FOR A FEBRUARY 15TH RELEASE ON VICE MUSIC, IS AN ELASTIC DEMONSTRATION OF HYPERACTIVE YET TACTFUL ELECTRO, ANCHORED BY THE SINGLE “RELEASERPM” FEATURING LIZZIE BOUGATSOS OF GANG GANG DANCE CONTRIBUTING WAFER-THING VOCALS TO THE LAYERS OF SYNTHETIC INSTRUMENTATION. OTHER GUESTS INCLUDE ALEXIS TAYLOR OF HOT CHIP, ANDREW W.K., AND FORMER PARTNER-IN-CRIME NAEEM OF SPANKROCK.
