Deceptikon in the Seattle Stranger!

January 3, 2010 by Leave a Comment

Deceptikon’s recent live show in Seattle got a recommendation from Stranger writer Dave Segal:

Stop Biting: Deceptikon

(Lo-Fi) Former Seattle producer Deceptikon (Zack Wright) has been living in Japan and San Francisco for the last few years or so. Now he’s back for the holidays, in time to liven up that dull week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve with a date at the hiphop/B-boy-friendly weekly Stop Biting. Should be interesting to witness how Deceptikon’s geekily funked-up IDM—his sprightly tracks bump, bleep, and shimmer somewhere between Dabrye and Scientific American—will go down with the breakdancers. He will likely bust out some tracks from his forthcoming album,Mythology of the Metropolis (out February 16 on Daly City Records). DAVE SEGAL

Spaceheater’s Blast Furnace Review in East Bay Express

Spaceheater’s Blast Furnace

Spaceheater’s Blast Furnace

By Rachel Swan

The flute is perhaps the only woodwind that beats the soprano sax for girlyness, but Evan Francis has a remarkable capacity for making it seem masculine. Perhaps that’s because he plays the flute just as well as he plays the tenor sax. Which is to say, he manhandles it. Aside from being a hefty instrumentalist, he’s a terrific composer. Francis wrote seven out of ten tracks on Spaceheater’s Blast First, the new self-titled album by his sextet. Recorded last year in San Francisco, it’s a combination of shifty horn lines, Afro-Latin drums, and electronic studio effects almost entirely denuded of vocals. People with flute allergies will ultimately learn to appreciate — even love — the instrument, especially after hearing the weird way that Francis interacts with saxophonist Marcus Stephens and trombonist Danny Grewen. It’s almost like hearing three people read the same paragraph simultaneously, but with totally different vocal intonation.

Spaceheater spawned from the Jazz Mafia cabal, and originated as a duo with Francis on woodwinds and producer Bill M. mixing beats. The expanded version is distributed by Daly City Records, home of Mochipet and other DJ-centric acts. Normally a jazz combo would seem out of place in such environs, but Spaceheater isn’t really a jazz combo — not in the traditional sense, at least. Rather, Francis likes to experiment. He’s the composer’s equivalent to a restless teenager, always shifting grooves or mixing and matching, setting a busy drum pattern against an equally busy — but unrelated — horn part.

On some songs (“Persistent” and “Interlude”), he adds electronic sounds to make the music sound live and synthetic at the same time. The horns seldom fall in lockstep with the rhythm, but that’s what makes it interesting. There’s no question Francis is on to something new. (Ropeadope)

“musical mad scientist” – Mochipet gets some love in Denver

October 23, 2009 by Leave a Comment

mochipet-02

Mochipet at Beta

At some point in the future, all music is going to transmogrify into one big crazy-ass mess of sound, and the smart money says that future fusion is going to sound a lot like what Mochipet — aka David Wang — is doing right now. He’s worked with everyone from Berlin techno masters such as Ellen Allien to hip-hop MC Casual, placed tracks on Fuel TV and on video games such as NBA 2K9, and recently released an amazing wobbly-bass “Thriller” remix that probably had MJ’s zombified corpse busting moves in his secret grave. The DJ/producer/label head of Daly City Records is something of a musical mad scientist, cross-breeding masterful hybrids of cutting-edge hip-hop, squelchy electro and hard, crunchy, digital-noise experimentalism. Those elements undergo an alchemical transmutation in his hands, and the results, naturally, are pure gold. Head down to Beta’s Beatport Lounge and hear it for yourself Friday, October 23.
