SMOG presents: Rustie @ SMOG Sundays 5/20/12 [Concert Review]

SMOG presents: Rustie [Warp Records] @ SMOG Sundays//Dim Mak Studios
Big ups and many thanks to Drew and everyone w/ the SMOG crew for their continued support + hospitality. By far some of the easiest + coolest cats to work with. We made the trek up to hollyhood on holiest of days, the Sabbath. For some it's a day of rest and for those like us it's a day to absorb and experience new music. We brought along our fellow alien artist travelers, Bass Commander + T'Challa Lee from the band Z, along with us so they too could experience this form of Bass music first hand...

Battles - Dross Glop 2 [New Release]

Purchase: Bleep (digital+vinyl) | Redeye Records | Chemical Records

Bleep special 4x12" vinyl pre-order subscription offer

(available only until February 26, 2012)

I remember seeing this mind blowing band a while ago at the Glass House in Pomona, CA and being amazed with their whole entire production. The music was excellent despite the technical difficulties they had, and the visuals, especially those of the guest vocalists singing to the audience, were basically a sight to see. Anyways, if you haven't heard Battles' latest album, Gloss Drop, I highly suggest you pick it up if you're into, and not limited to, anything like indie rock or math rock. I've been a huge fan of experimental math rock type of bands, so seeing and listening to Battles basically blew my mind, and still continues to. And also being a huge fan of all kinds of electronic music, I was pretty damn excited to hear about the Dross Glop series they were putting out, which is a collection of remixes released over four 12" releases (also available in MP3 and FLAC on Bleep.com).

Battles - Dross Glop 1 [Vinyl Release]

Battles [Warp]: Official | Gui Boratto: Official

We're going to switch up the pace now with the following tunes. If you've seen the first three from this morning we started to pick up the pace, but it's time to mellow things out for a bit to let everyone's ears rest. If you've seen our previous posts on Battles you know we hold these dude in high regard. They're such an awesome three piece (they used to have more members but its okay) and their grooves are so infectious. The combination of their musical creativity and openness has resulted in an upcoming a 4-part 12inch series [To the post Napster music lovers it means they're making 4 records]. The track above is the Gui Boratto remix of their Wall Street track. It's extremely groovy. Perfect for building up the crowds or cooling them out at 4am on the dance floor.

Battles - Futura [Live Video + Tour Dates]

Battles [Warp Records]: Official | Facebook
Here goes part two of La Blogotheque's Take Away Show with Battles [Part 1 here]. Below you will find the three piece take you through the sonic ride of Futura. I'm only halfway with their brand new release Gloss Drop [purchase @ Official | iTunes | Best Buy | Bleep] because I keep repeating each track over and over and again. The sure amount of musical sounds created by just three individuals is astounding. If you're lucky enough to be in one of the towns they'll be touring in this year I highly suggest you see them perform live. If you're living in a place not so lucky to have them perform, you'll just have to listen to their album on repeat until they finally make their way around to your town.

Battles - Wall Street [Live Video]

Battles [Warp Records]: Official | Facebook

Absolutely enjoy the Take Away Show series by La Blogotheque. It's one of those "I always wanted to do that!" kind of moments whenever I watch these videos. This installment features Brooklyn NY's Battles from Warp Records. Their upcoming release titled Gloss Drops will be out on June 6/7th [Pre order @ Bleep|Amazon]. Unfortunately I don't understand French so I don't know what the statement below says, but I'm sure it's a brief description of what happened in Paris when they shot the video. Salutations to our readers/listeners in France...

Bibio - Excuses [Music Video]

Bibio [Warp Records] : Official | Facebook | Twitter
As always, UK artists/labels/etc. share their music right when I'm about to call it a night and power down the machines. Last night[technically early morning around 5am] I saw this strange mysterious video and thought, "Hmm, one more song for tonight won't hurt. I'm dead tired and my eyes are starting to burn but I'm still hungry for more." As I sat and feasted I began to experience what could best be described as a visual and audible treat, containing flavors that would entice any and all taste buds yearning for more James Blake, Four Tet, HudMo, and FlyLo. Wow. It's rare that I'm moved to purchase full releases after tasting a sample plate but I'm going to pick this up on March 29th. If you too are still hungry for more you can check out the album sampler here.

Rustie - Sunburst EP

Rustie: Official | Facebook | Twitter | Purchase @ Juno | Beatport

G1ockz gave me the heads up about a week or so ago about this dude on Warp who sounds like HudMo but with more of an emphasis on crazy guitar solos and even crazier synth lines. I honestly didn't think it was possible. But then again, everything in this life cycle is possible.

So we pulled up his page on the Warp website and the first thing I see is this piece of album artwork that just jumps out at me. I thought it was something straight out of a Thundercats episode or some other cartoon tv show or video game from the 80s that G1ockz would of then proceeded to tell me about. If you're looking for groovy head bangin' hands in the air party with your good times until the sun rises and falls on repeat, get the EP. And if that's not enough to convince you Rustie still DJs w/ tables and he's even mixed his EP for your previewing pleasure...

Rustie - Sunburst EP Minimix (out 4/5 October on Warp Records) by Warp Records

And to further illustrate the awesomeness of this EP is the visual aid below staring Steve Martin and John Candy. I'm pretty sure this isn't the official video for Hyperthrust but they should use the same movie clips. Come to think of it that car spinning part reminds me of a crazy car crash story G1ockz told us about. And John Candy's dance moves look like something I did while i was watching Rusko at Abstract Fest last year.
