ARTIST: GRiZ
TITLE: End of the World Party
LABEL: Daly City Records
CAT-NO: DCR165
FORMAT: Digital
RELEASE DATE: 6/28/11

 

A true pioneer and master of musical expression, GriZ (Grant Kwiecinski) stands head-and-shoulders above the competition in terms of the sheer variety of his ever-evolving technical prowess. A tremendously passionate and soulful producer, GriZ has a peerless knack for creating profoundly engaging melodies to offset the presence of his phenomenally designed bass. Where many artists become mired in a over-simplified and standardized method of production for the sake of creative efficiency; GriZ has no qualms sacrificing speed for the sake of quality, technical diversity, and an unrelenting devotion to progress and dynamism.

Beginning his saga as a producer at the young age of fourteen, it is immediately evident that his talent and devotion will lead him on a journey of exceptional musical diversity and exploration. From funky rhythms to jazzy melodic embellishment, GriZ effortlessly incorporates his instrumental zeal for the saxophone with his lifelong dedication to soulful, laser-infused beat-making. This is only the beginning for Grant, and already the stylistic range of his material is both inspirational and utterly awe-inspiring.” -Written by Ethan Baer (SubSynthesis.com)

New Release coming from a.vanvranken 6/14

ARTIST: a.vanvranken
TITLE: Landed
LABEL: Daly City Records
CAT-NO: DCR164
FORMAT: Digital
RELEASE DATE: 6/14/11

 

Landed is the third LP from idm and downtempo producer A.VanVranken, produced and fine-tuned over several years. Taking a cue from more mellow idm and ambient influences such as The Flashbulb and Autechre, Landed is grounded in melody and intentional beats rather than the harder idm-style turbulent noise. Starting things off confidently with the sunny roadtrip of ‘Tomorrow’ and ending with the deliberate calm chaos of ‘Scy’, the album guides one through bright and danceable head-bobbing moments, industrial suspense, and introspective interludes catered by mysterious, unintelligible vocal samples allowing you to insert your own context into each track. Elements of non-idm artists such as El-P and Black Moth Super Rainbow sneak into tracks like ‘Trench’ and ‘Miguel’ to add variety and complexity to the soundscape, with intriguing distortions and repetitive glitchy hooks scattered throughout to flow it together in a carefully-arranged and cohesive package. Landed might best be described as ‘active background glitchbient shoegaze’ – a soundtrack for a beautiful day spent outside, or afterhours chilling at home.

1. Tomorrow
2. Landed

New Mindelixir LP coming 5/31

 

 

ARTIST: Mindelixir
TITLE: Doomsday Ticket LP
LABEL: Daly City Records
CAT-NO: DCR163
FORMAT: Digital
RELEASE DATE: 5/31/11
MASTERED BY: Shawn Porter

Mindelixir has been making crazy music since he was 12 years old. His jazz/funk infused blend has been often categorized as dubstep, but there’s something very different about his sound. Doomsday Ticket is the soundtrack to an alternate version of reality where cephalopods have risen to assume control of the planet and man is offered a ticket at the end of days if he wishes to survive. Blending hip hop rhythms with reggae and jazz in a futuristic bowl of dubstep based soup, the album delivers from a sub in the club per-spective to a melodies in my headphones. The album was created to be able to stand-alone as a piece that listeners can enjoy at home, in their cars or on headphones, while simultaneously being compatible with the raging dancefloors that influenced the producer’s sound. Leaning back to the old school funk musicians of the 70s and hinting at the UK funky rhythms of today, this is a release not to be missed. It’s Mindelixir’s second full length LP supported by a Madison House booked national tour effort and released on Mochipet’s Daly City Records. Get ready to leave the planet.

“Mochipet – Whomp-a-saurus Sex” from Rawr Means I Love You! by Mochipet

Deceptikon – Mythology limited edition 12″ out now!

ARTIST: Deceptikon
TITLE: Mythology of the Metropolis
FORMAT: 12” vinyl
LABEL: Daly City Records / Tokyo Ghost Island
CAT-NO: DCR156 / Tokyo 001
LIMITED: 300 copies on transparent blue vinyl with 11×17 insert poster
RELEASE DATE: 03/08/2011
DISTRIBUTION: Revolver USA

 

“Mythology of the Metropolis” is highly anticipated third Deceptikon album, and is easily his most ambitious work to date. The full-length version of “Mythology of the Metropolis” was released digitally on Daly City Records to rave reviews, chart-topping sales, and widespread fan praise. Now, Daly City Records and new upstart label Tokyo Ghost Island have teamed up to press five of the hottest tracks from “Mythology of the Metropolis” on wax. This is a serious collector’s item. The 12” is pressed to a ridiculously limited 300 copies on transparent “coke bottle” blue, with a fold-out 11 x 17 insert poster.

The record is a genre-hopping, bass-heavy, mind-bending 12” of epic proportions, one that is equally suited for the home stereo as well as the dance floor. Heavy analog bass lines, vocals mangled just beyond recognition, vocoded samples, and thumping drums play like a soundtrack to genres that haven’t yet been invented. Created primarily while Deceptikon was living in Japan, “Mythology of the Metropolis” is an extended love letter written to the city of Tokyo, and a reflection of the cacophonous, overwhelming, and intense nature of city life. A critical and underground cult favorite, Deceptikon is an artist to watch in 2011.

 

TRACKLISTING:

A1) Kinyoubi

A2) The Humans Return

A3) Indo Loops

B1) Broken Synthesizers

B2) Copy The Floppy

 

“Deceptikon is a recent transplant to the Bay Area, and he’s brought with him a new album … an exciting and versatile slice from this upcoming producer.”

XLR8R Magazine

“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. (It 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.”

Seattle Stranger

“You’ll find no shortage of crisp beatsmithing and bleepy melodies bumping through Wright’s future-funk”

Addictech Exclusive Out NOW!

ARTIST: Samples

Since the release of Ben Sample’s chart toping “Snowstorm” album last year, on Daly City Records, it is obvious that the bass grinding track “Drop Bombs” has been a staple in the glitch-hop and heavy bass communities. It is only fair that a remix album followed.  With remixes by Mochipet, Freddy Todd, Sovereign Sect, Stephan Jacobs, Psymbionic, Chris B, Sugarpill, Dan K, and Samples himself there is more then enough for everyone! These remixes range between the 80-140bpm range; but all of them contain very heavy bass lines and jaw dropping builds. Ready to detonate any sub-woofers in its path, the Drop Bombs Remixes should NOT be played in the Chill Room! *why don’t they do chill rooms anymore?

New album from Sugarpill, Flow Goggles Out Now! Number 7 on Adictech.com. Available now on iTunes, Amazon, Boomkat, Juno, and Adictech

Bio:

Specializing in bouncing bass, sideways beats and experiments of noise, Sugarpill is a master
of both the creation and delivery of polytemponic glitch. Residing in Los Angeles yet living in
a twisted world of sound, this young artist stays dosed to the eyelids in chopped-up samples,
meticulously tweaked beats and obese waves of bass.
Sugarpill seamlessly merges his techy sensibility and immaculate production skills without ever
losing the inherent sexiness of the beats, and this multidimensional musical approach unites
EDM fans across a vast spectrum of genres and tempos. His original tracks combined with
explosive live DJ sets confirm for the producer a powerful spot at the forefront of West Coast
future sound. Crossing genres effortlessly and employing a rich variety of styles, his lively and
intense sound is best described as a party- and that is exactly what Sugarpill brings to the
dance floor.
Not only a producer and DJ but also a writer, blogger, teacher and radio host, Sugarpill’s
thick talents serve his many musical endeavors well. As cofounder of and contributor to Abletontweets.com, Sugarpill uses his knowledge of the wildly diverse software not only to propel
his own musical career, but to help aspiring producers develop their skills as well. Along
with bass compatriot Stutterfly, Sugarpill also runs the popular Polybeat Plant radio show on
GlitchFM, airing every Thursday night from 6-8PM PST and broadcasted around the world into
earholes hungry for glitchy goodness.
Dedication to his craft, backed up by mad skills, has created a buzz around Sugarpill in the
online underground, with the producer winning praise on music blogs such as Afromonk,
Doktor Krank, Chrome Kids, Creative Loafing, Circuitree Records, Catalog Records and
DanceFever5000. Having played alongside RD, Tom Burbank, Spank Rock, Eprom and Robot
Koch, Sugarpill will no doubt continue to push electronic music forward towards the next
new genre that no one will be able to name.

Press:

Chrome Kids:
Not only did he provide us with the fantastic Busta Step for Hulk Hop Vs Crunk Rock, but Sugarpill
has created one of the Mixtape’s of the year in the shape of Whompsticle. Bass heavy
glitched up Hip-hop of the highest order from artists such as: Mochipet; Rustie; Eprom; Glitch
Mob; Daddy Kev; and Lazer Sword. check his blog for a full tracklisting.”
Chrome Kids

Creative Loafing:
“Sugarpill kicks off his set with what sounds like a Super Mario version of Crime Mob’s ‘Knuck if
you Buck.’ “More dancing/hilarity ensues until the high heels start to hurt and I head out into
the cool evening air.”
Creative Loafing

507Projex:
“…a top-notch glitch/future blap/lazer bass music producer”
