"In the Dark"

New GLK is bananas. Guard your face. 

Gaslamp Killer "Flange Face"

Super tough. 

His new album is out in mid-September. 

Cinespia DJ sets

Are you familiar with Cinespia? If not, it's a series of film screenings in cemeteries around Los Angeles.

That in and of itself is pretty awesome, but the icing on the cake is that they get world class DJs to throw down sets before and after the screenings. Now, living several thousand miles from the action, I'd be bummed, except that they record these sets and host them on their website, where you can listen/download. I'd highly recommend the Gaslamp Killer set, which rolls from Joe Meek through some psychy mayhem to a kazoo-centric medley atop a dance clap. This thing is hours upon hours of awesome live sets just waiting for your perusal.

Gaslamp Killer is ridiculous

This right here is just crazy...[Props to Evster sending me this.]

New Gaslamp Killer EP out August 4th

Get your freaky electronic celebration on because Gaslamp Killer is dropping an EP on Flying Lotus's imprint Brainfeeder. I've got to say that I've never been so excited for an album from an artist I actually knew less about musically. He dropped one amazing track on the Art Don't Sleep compilation a few years back - a downtempo gypsy trip beat - and ever since then I've just been waiting to find more. Then he dropped a sweet mix for the Stones Throw podcast a year or two ago when the Heliocentrics' debut dropped, which was also excellent.

I've only heard this one song off the new album, but it is reminiscent of the Heliocentrics in so far as it is a sparse, spaced-out, drum-heavy groove that might make stoned tweens lose their minds. By the time the cymbals drop on the latter half of the song the overall effect is vaguely reminscent of classic Venetian Snares jungle played at 3/4 speed. Ridiculous.

Welcome your ears to the digital land of post-apocalyptic milk and honey.

Here's the leaked track: "Anything Goes"



Buy it when it drops on the 4th of August.
