DJ 0.000001 Dies!

Daly City’s own DJ 0.000001, host of the Magical Bass radio show, has passed on. Yeah, he’s dead! (Okay, well, the fact that his alter-ego, Th’ Mole, is still alive might suggest that his death is actually nothing more than a desperate cry for attention.) The latest episode of Magical Bass features DJ 0.000001’s usual serving of exclusive remixes interwoven with a “radio play” depicting DJ 0.0000001’s last troubled moments, concluding with his violent murder!

What does this mean for the future of Magical Bass? Is it over? Will DJ 0.000001 be miraculously revived from the dead as a cyborg mummy DJ? Time will only tell – stay tuned…

Great Deceptikon review from Textura!

Thanks to Textura for the glowing review!

Read it on Textura.org

Having been in operation for a while now, Zack Wright’s Deceptikon project could be in danger of being passed over by listeners in favour of ‘fresher’ producers. Which would be a crying shame because the music Wright’s serving up on Mythology of the Metropolis is as fresh as anything coming out of the UK (or anywhere else, for that matter) at the moment. If you need proof, check out the wobbly head-nod of tunes like “Crumar Crush” and “Time Dilation” where you’ll find no shortage of crisp beatsmithing and bleepy melodies bumping through Wright’s future-funk.

If anything, the third Deceptikon collection benefits greatly from the experience Wright has gained as a music producer in the years since the first Deceptikon twelve-inch appeared on Merck Records in 2003. Apparently Mythology of the Metropolis was conceived as a love letter to Tokyo as it was primarily created when Wright was living there (he currently calls San Francisco home). And while that’s clearly evidenced by track titles like “Tokyo Burning” and “Kinyoubi,” the album’s thumping cuts draw more upon the kind of hip-hop, funk, and crunk one associates with US and UK music-making. Wright’s hip-hop leanings come markedly to the fore during the trippy crunk-funk stomp of “Broken Synthesizers.” There’s sometimes a sc-fi vibe to the material, as heard in the electronic voice that croaks through “The Fall of Humanity,” a collaboration with He Can Jog. Wright’s arranging skills are nicely shown by the restraint he brings to a cut like “The Humans Return” where a simple drum pattern and synth bass line provide slinky support for synthetic space melodies (vocodered too) colliding overtop. Guests like Vincent Parker, Artemis Jackson, He Can Jog, and Oly may appear on the album, but Mythology of the Metropolis ultimately sounds like nothing else than a Deceptikon project.

Lokae featured on Napster

Remember Napster? Of course you do. That program was once the KING of internet file sharing. While they ceded the P2P crown and are now a subscription music service, it’s still cool to be featured by a company that remains a household name.

Check out what their Electronica Staff had to say about Lokae’s City Lights EP:

“Ian Luo is the San Francisco producer known as Lokae. His four-track EP from Daly City Records visits hip-hop, R&B, jungle, and jazz influences, but anchors them with a new approach to electronic production. This one is drenched in bass-heavy breakdowns and wobbly synth patches that make the head nod. Be sure to stretch your neck before playing.”

Hah! Take some time to loosen up, then preview the City Lights EP on Soundcloud.

You can also check out the other Napster picks here.

Lokae Interview with SF Weekly

Patric Fallon over at SF Weekly’s All Shook Down blog just did a nice “Behind the Beat” feature with new Daly City artist Lokae. Lokae reveals the inspirations for his tracks, how it feels to put out a first release, and shares some advice for aspiring producers. You might even find out where he gets his “vocoded unicorn mating calls” from.

Deceptikon featured in The Seattle Stranger!

Dave Segal wrote a very favorable feature about Mythology of the Metropolis in this week’s issue of The Stranger!

Former Seattle denizen Deceptikon (aka Zack Wright) now dwells in San Francisco, but he remains a well-liked figure in the Emerald City and often returns here to ply his finely crafted cuts. His new album, Mythology of the Metropolis (Daly City Records; www.dalycityrecords.com), is now available on the major digital retail sites and is selling like proverbial hot bytes.

Mythology of the Metropolis consists of 14 examples of crisp, vibrant, post-Dilla instrumental hiphop, with flashes of pretty IDM melodies and late-’00s bass wobble. Deceptikon keeps the head-nod factor high while wrenching out some interesting, exotic melodies. “Echolocation” genuflects to the Far East with its fluttering, quasi-Zen garden motif (à la Philip Glass in his Mishima soundtrack) set amid splatting, stalwart funk beats. “Indo Loops” also is riveting, with its distorted (presumably Indian) chant warbling over a sinuous synth drone, staunch Madlib-elous clapper beats, and furious, pitch-shifted tabla slaps. “The Fall of Humanity” majestically glides like 1977 Kraftwerk, while “Dissolving in Acid” lives up to its title, running crinkly Roland 303 squiggles through a dense thicket of kick-drum thump and toxic squalls of low-end pressure. “Broken Synthesizers” growls and bristles like a peak-time Cannibal Ox/El-P joint.

Along with similar works like Flying Lotus’s Los Angeles, Mux Mool’s Skulltaste, Nosaj Thing’s Drift, and Free the Robots’ Ctrl Alt Delete, Mythology of the Metropolis is mapping out a fertile field where IDM and dubstep’s textural playfulness and extremity tampers with hiphop’s rhythmic parameters, but without causing fissures in its essential funkiness. Exciting times, indeed.

Thanks Dave!

Deceptikon on ISO50!

Jakub at ISO50 has posted “Kinyoubi”.. Here’s what he had to say:

If you need more Mux Mool like ma then a heavy dose of Deceptikon will do, Mux turned me onto Mythology Of The Metropolis which is the new LP from Deceptikon, what a great month in music? an LP from Daedelus, Deceptikon, Mux Mool and Bonobo, this might break a headnodders neck.
