TITLE: Get Your Dub Wet
LABEL: Daly City Records
CAT-NO: DCR143

When the long standing Dub Mission Resident DJ Sep first approached Mochipet to do a Dub rendition of his tune “Get Your Whistle Wet” off of his 2008 Release “Microphonepet” he was honored. But little did he know she would recruit the help of fellow artists Jason Short, DJ Collage, and Juakali. The result is a mending of both Dub and Techno pulling from both Sep and Short’s backgrounds. You add that with the vocal stylings of DJ Collage and Juakali and the end result is nothing short of Bass Heavy, Tech Bouncing Goodness. This is for the lovers of Dub and Glitch Basslines.

Coming soon on Daly City Records The Flying Skulls – Abducted!

August 11, 2009 by dalycity Leave a Comment

ARTIST: The Flying Skulls
TITLE: Abducted Vol. 2|
LABEL: Daly City Records
CAT-NO: DCR144
FORMAT: Digital
RELEASE DATE: 09/29/2009

Of course it was inevitable… that The Flying Skulls and Daly City Records own Mochipet, Vladimir Computin and Preshish Moments would make some seriously f*cked up music together. Looking forward to future projects! The Skulls upcoming remix album Abducted! Vol 2 will be released as a Daly City Exclusive this fall. The Skulls have also announced a three-EP arc that will first drop on Daly City in late 2009.Check your radar good citizens, that blip you see fast approaching is none other than The Flying Skulls, a nu-school production team that plays live improvisational dub-step, breaks, and electro! The group brings the future-soundz of the modern dance music studio and interpolates them through the filter of live improv. With an old school jazz ethos The Skulls combine their tightly-honed electronic and hiphop infused sonic orchestra in a most dirty and crunked-out way. The Flying Skulls first started melting dance floors in April 2008. Originally the brainchild of Lowpro Lounge co-founders Jeff Wareham (J.Tonal) as a way to bring the precision of the recording studio to the dance floor. J.Tonal had been creating music and throwing events in the SF Bay Area for over 7 years, sharing billing with musicians such as DJ Shadow, DJ Krush, Shpongle, Ott, Jack Dangers from Meat Beat Manifesto, and UFO! Straight dope on these Flying Skulls guys? They’re dirty. Dirty beats, dirty grimy low-end, mucked up distorted synthesizers, live syncopated beats flipping between 4/4, 3/4, and 7/8 time. The Skulls distill these elements through their battle-tested mix interface into dancefloor-rending sets of huge beats with a cinematic depth meant for the very largest of soundsystems. Chromekids recently described their sound as, “A heavyweight collection of nasty synths, wobbly basslines and crunked out glitchy beats so dirty you’d swear they robbed their MPC players off a crack dealer.”

Mochipet in The New York Times

August 10, 2009 by dalycity Leave a Comment

The New York Times Reviews Alarm Will Sound Playing Mochipet : “SOMETHING odd and fascinating is happening at the borders of classical music and pop right now. Particularly in new-music circles young musicians are searching for repertory in the pop avant-garde. There were inklings of this in the early 1990s, when arrangements of Frank Zappa pieces turned up in programs by the Meridian Arts Ensemble, the American Composers Orchestra and, in Europe, Ensemble Modern and the Ensemble Intercontemporain. But that seemed only modestly remarkable. Zappa, after all, had been composing symphonic works since the late 1960s, and these transcriptions of his rock works shared the spirit of those scores. And transcriptions of Jimi Hendrix songs by the Kronos Quartet, and Nirvana tracks by the Bang on a Can All-Stars, seemed amusing stunts, offered as encores.” [ READ MORE__]
