Talkdemonic is a two-member self-labeled folktronic hop band based in Portland, Oregon. It’s pretty safe to assume that I’m an instant fan of any genre with the word “tronic / tronica” added to it. A truly unique sound and act.

Enjoy!

I decided to post a classic mix from my Drum n’ Bass hayday. As of the past 2 years or so I have really gotten back into it. I’ll be mixing some new stuff come early spring once I get my hands on Serato. The mix posted here is full of liquid rollers and soulful vocal tracks. Lots of tracks entitled with the word “love”.

The image posted above is of a handful of flyers/posters I did during that era 2000-2003 for artists such as Klute, UFO!, Hive, Silver, Planet of the Drums, Gridlok, Sage and R.A.W. Check out this older post of some of my early inspiration.

Enjoy!

I recently commented on a song by “Elf from Arm - Windstar” posted over at the blog of all blogs, iso50.com and later received a kind email from band member Kendall. He hooked me up with the full album and it’s awesome! “Windstar” is a stand out track that really takes off around the middle (3:25). It makes me look forward to spring!

Thanks again Kendall, I really appreciate it!

The three songs posted here are from a few years past and are extremely hard to find. All three of these artists were on the label Observatory Online years ago. I just recently dug around to see what the label was up to but, it looks like they haven’t updated in about 2 years. I assume they’re done. It’s a shame because they had some great artists. If anyone knows what the deal is with that please let me know.

Tree Wave is still around and will be releasing something new soon as well as playin at SXSW for the Graveface records show. Experimental Aircraft is on that label as well, how cool would it be to see Tree Wave and them play!

As far as for Kris et Julie, I haven’t been able to pull up any information at all on the web. It’s bummer because it’s such an amazing tune. Text Adventure is another artist I’d hope to hear more from but, was left with old material. The track posted is a great little synth-pop tune that picks up speed at the end.

Enjoy!

Kris et Julie - Dan

These are some choice tracks that require a “no distractions listen”. All of them are beautiful, each with a unique mood. The sample used in the Daedelus Remix is addictively haunting. Benoit Pioulard’s “sunol” reminds me of the lo-fi recordings of Mice Parade. Airy layered guitars and warm lush melodies make for an emotional and rich sound. I’d love to hear a remix of this track. Victor Bermon’s music is simply beautiful and I fine myself getting lost in it no matter what mood I’m. It reminds me of an unappreciated Savath & Savala or Christopher Willits. Textual’s “In Echo Park” was released back in 2005, but somehow never gets old and always finds itself in my current playlists; quality stuff. Enjoy!

It’s finally here. My site that is! I’ve been trying to find the time to launch a site for nearly 4 years now. After all the different concepts and designs I had scrapped, I ultimately ended up with customized Wordpress. This solution was great because it really forced me to strengthen my CSS, javascript and simple PHP skills. By no means would I ever think of myself as a developer, but it was fun to pretend during this process. Anyhow, I’ll be updating the blog daily with music, design, skate and all types of other material as well as some last minute projects, but enough is enough, I forced myself to launch this sucker, so enjoy and thank you for stopping by. Don’t be a stranger and feel free to say hello if you like, it’s nice to make new friends.

I don’t know how the hell I missed this release!? It came out last May and features both Moodgadget and Ghostly International artists. Does it get better than that? Here’s a sampling of what I feel are the stand out tracks. Enjoy!

As most of us I’m a huge fan of adult swim. Whenever I watch it I always hope to catch one of their bumps which seemingly always features amazing music. Here is just a small handful of my favs! The bump above is from hip hop legend; J Dilla - Airworks.


Milosh - Then it Happened

Flying Lotus - Massage Situation

Tycho - Cascade
