Alpha Pup Artists @ Decibel Festival 2010

Seattle knows what’s up. This week at Decibel Festival you will hear many of the more avant-garde and experimental new genres of electronic music, including beats from quite a crew of artists from Alpha Pup Records and our imprints Brainfeeder, Elm & Oak and Friends of Friends.

Decibel Festival Showcase Spotlight: FLYING LOTUS AND FRIENDS

Flying Lotus has not only created earth-rattling albums, scores to avant-garde animated films and augmented reality applications, but has also inspired an international community of beat lovers and electronic magicians who find motivation and meaning in the sonic space beyond boundaries where his vision and artistry roam.

Innerflight presents: RED EYE AFTERHOURS (Unofficial Decibel Festival Afterparty)

One of Seattle’s premier record labels and production crews, Innerflight, welcomes you aboard a trip until dawn on Friday September 24 with bass cadets from the Nth dimension at the Red Eye Afterhours. Please bring your seats to the get-down position and prepare to get lifted.

Decibel Festival Artist Spotlight: LORN

Lorn plays Flying Lotus & Friends Showcase @ Neumos on Thursday, September 23

and Innerflight’s Red Eye Afterhours @ The Monkey Loft on Friday, September 24

Beauty created from desolation is one of the last refuges of human hope, and behind an exceptionally moving musical expression of this truth stands a man of brooding intensity and emotional fearlessness, whose clear conviction shines through a shroud of mystery and beats sworn to black.

Brainfeeder Sessions London August 14 Lineup Announced

Anyone want to sponsor a DF5K trip to London next month?

ALBUM REVIEW: “Nothing Else” LORN (Brainfeeder) on Glitch.FM

LORN: Exclusive New Mix & Interview on Dubspot Radio

Some music sinks hooks deep into my brain and pulls new ideas out, inspiring me to create art of my own, to write, to pace my living room, to stay up late reading The Myth of Sisyphus. The best music or any kind of art changes the way you see the world; voilà ceci de Lorn, who recently released one of my favorite albums of the year on Brainfeeder, Nothing Else.

The half-hour mix ends with the unreleased 13th track of the album “Until There Is No End,” followed by a short interview with the Milwaukee-based artist that gear nerds will love but everyone can appreciate. Check the Dubspot Radio post for another mix by host Matt Shadetek of Dutty Artz.

LORN “Nothing Else” Out Today on Brainfeeder

Shrouded in shadows and heaving mystery just like his music, “the Brainfeeder’s family creepy cousin” Lorn has just released his debut album Nothing Else on Flying Lotus’ highly regarded imprint. A lot of music lately sounds like it was made for robots; but Nothing Else was made for monsters….YOUR monsters, of course.

Heavy-moving and full, this album will rumble the nebulous side of your soul, providing a safe place to let loose your madness. However calling Lorn’s sound “dark” is taking the easy way out; Nothing Else is far more complex than the battle between good and evil. The story pulls away from the recesses of the mind towards the end, like the monsters found God, God was dead and everyone just breathed a big sigh of relief.

Low End Theory Podcast Episode XV: Gaslamp Killer & Lorn

Every month-ish the Low End Theory crew puts out a podcast featuring one of the resident DJs and a guest selecta; this month the Gaslamp Killer and rising Brainfeeder star Lorn give our ears something to chew on and our brains a much-needed swift kick in the conscious.
