“Come Back” By ESKMO

Album To Be Released October 4th

Press Quotes:

“Sophisticated…Masterfully produced…All killer…” – Bleep

“Eskmo (is) on his own electronic plateau.” – Boomkat

Whilst Ninja Tune is hellbent on making its 20th anniversary celebrations memorable to say the least, they’re also intent on signing the artists that will keep them going another 20 years. Eskmo is one of the latest of these; a young artist deeply rooted in the resurgence of electronic music, with the vision and talent to write songs that defy genre and could only be his own. With prior recordings being released on esteemed labels Warp and Planet Mu, San Francisco based Eskmo is already being touted as one of the key artists in a new wave of creativity in electronica.

Described by Bleep.com as “Masterfully produced… sophisticated, post-Dilla hip-hop funk,” Eskmo’s music has caught the attention of Amon Tobin, who he collaborated with on a recent project entitled ‘Eskamon’. He has also toured as a live act throughout North America and Europe, and opened for both Amon and Flying Lotus. Pendulum’s Elhornet said in a recent interview: “There are good producers, then there are dudes who you never catch..and don’t even try. He’s one of those…”

This week’s Ninja Tune XX giveaway is a brand new Eskmo track entitled ‘Come Back.’ Showcasing his mastery of electronic production and trademark sound, it reveals exactly why Ninja Tune is so excited about this newest addition to their roster.

Eskmo’s brand new album will be out October 4th, 2010 on Ninja Tune. He will also be playing the Ninja Tune XX parties in New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris and Brussels, and his first single, ‘Cloudlight,’ is featured on the forthcoming Ninja Tune XX compilation.

I’ll be playing Nocturnal Festival on Sunday, Sept. 6th. I’m really impressed with the line up. Insomniac has really stepped up their game and have started to understand what Texas wants to see.

Bonobo - Black Sands

I found this great video from Computer Music of Bonobo, Simon Green, explaining the making of the track “Kiara” off of his new album “Black Sands”.   I recently opened up for Bonobo at The Parish in Austin which ranks as one of my top 5 gigs.  His band was amazing and their vocalist Andreya Triana was sensational.   It’s so inspiring to see one man’s vision and art be so well executed in a live setting.

March is always an awesome month with SXSW, spring weather, tons of new music and albums hitting the stores.  This March was even better than usual.  Score More and Polaris brought PANTyRAiD to Austin and I had the pleasure to play before them.  This is my ableton set from that night.  I re-recorded it because I forgot to hit the record button.

Check the pictures and the video from the show.

Lucent L'Amour 2010

I’m always a fan of The Do Lab.  This years Lucent L’Amour looks like it was major success.  With performances from Bassnectar, Ana Sia, Beats Antique the music line up was full of amazing talent.  I love the visual art and performers.  Check the video to see what you missed.

Sub Swara - Coup d'Yah

These guys have been setting my ears on fire lately. They’ll be in Austin for SXSW and I can’t wait. Check out the goodness.

I highly recommend the All Access Pack. You get something close to 100 tracks, a tshirt and a physical copy of their Coup d’Yah album.  The shirt is great quality, no cheap issh here. You also get access to their speakeasy of music. Yum!

PANTyRAiD - The Sauce

PANTyRAiD

“The sound of underground US hip-hop getting to grips with dub-step and coming out
of the collision rather well. A rich injection of transatlantic new blood into dub-step’s
gene pool.” – Mixmag

PANTyRAiD creates songs that each hold their own
unique character and intention, with the ability to
drift over into both the classical and electronic
genres. With constant variations in beat, and an overwhelming palette of instrumentation,
audio tricks, melodies, and techniques, PANTyRAiD’s production reflects close attention to
detail, taking their audience along a lavishly ambient electronic journey. The fusion between
MartyParty and Ooah has ignited a movement that revisits the power of melodic and
instrumental composition, together inventing a formula for producing intense club tracks that
unite gorgeous, electronic soundscapes with hard-hitting, grimy beats that reference hip-hop
and dub-step, with experimental, global sounds that resonate throughout. The result is a new
flavor of urban beat – a fresh, new, sexy sound that redefines the power, relevance, and
longevity of electronic music.

“Beba” featured on PANTyRAiD’s debut release The Sauce, is a “sonic safari” with
“snapping and frozen beats [that] tear into ones mind, yet its structure and groove make this
one of the hottest tracks on [the] album. LA’s Glitch Mob has splintered both literally and
musically as these shattered hip hop beats take huge strides forward for lovers of Dilla,
Prefuse, Flylo, and the more recent wUnKy upstarts of Paul White, Rustie and Bullion”
– Clash Magazine
