A Baltimore Based Indie Music Blog
When New York’s synth funk techno master musician Eliot Lipp gets his lasers around the psych-dream-crazy-coolness of Daedelus‘ “LA Nocturn” it’s almost guaranteed to be great. Guess what? I was right! Take a listen:

Daedelus always seems to amaze me. Sometimes he can be way out there with experimental electronic music and the next moment he’s orchestrating almost pop like arrangements. His newest effort comes about from a new venture – the Friends Of Friends record label. The goal of this label is friends to join together for split EP releases. The first EP from the label features 3 new Daedelus tracks and 3 tracks from his pals Jogger. There’s also a video for the beautiful track “LA Nocturn”. Take a look through rose colored glasses:

California’s Meanest Man Contest have long been a favorite around Pasta Primavera (love Throwing Away Broken Electronics). So when I came across their remix of Daedelus’ “Off To The Races” recently, I was super excited. The track features the rhymes of Cuzzo and is a hand clap quick beat wild ride. Kudos for MMC for spicing up my Monday!

Down at the Hexagon get some DJ action with Eliot Lipp, Daedelus, and Matthew Diamond. The Old 97’s play Sonar with Caleb Stine and the Brakemen and Desert Boys opening. If you’re in Fells Point be sure to swing by Fletcher’s to catch Wild Sweet Orange, New Age Outlaws, Armed Elephant, and Doug Ahern Band.

Sometimes you just crave something different. When I use the word different, I mean Daedelus. He is the definition. Known as Daedelus Digitalis Darlington aka Vinegar Valentine, he puts together music that sounds like “hopefully sleepy kittens, more like nervous bunnies.” He’s a master of putting together forgotten sounds with intricate beats and off-kilter tempos. He’s not for everyone, but deserves a good long listen. His albums can take hold and transport you out of this mundane life into a world where colors turn sepia and flowers bloom inside…huh…sorry…just listen

Sometimes you just crave something different. When I use the word different, I mean Copy. He is the definition. Known also as Marius Libman, Copy describes his music like “A Computer and a Man hanging out and, you know, ‘Getting to Know Each Other’.” I guess I can’t say it much better than that but I’ll try. His music comes across as video games with a dance beat. The 8-bit sound just oozes out of it. Some may say it’s too simplistic for them, but if you take a minute to enjoy it you will realize that there’s more there then you thought you heard. He layers simple synth together to create fantastic and complex pop melodies. They flow so easy that the first thing that comes to you is simplicity. That’s the beauty in it I guess. Did I mention that I like the beats. I do.
