DJ A-Trak and Travis Barker joined forces and plan to take over SXSW tonight. The featured visual contains footage of their rehearsal at the Roxy in Los Angeles a few weeks ago. This recap makes one wish that both talented artists extend their artistry collaboration after this week’s festival. If you are close to Austin, Texas today make sure to witness them live.

In two words: mind-blowing. After a formidable performance from Eskmo, who also showed off his sick silver high-tops and fancy footwork, gaining an inch of space closer to the stage before FlyingLo’s set was akin to signing a death warrant. With an all-new visual presentation and the upcoming release of Cosmogramma, there were many things that could have left the salivating crowd disappointed. FlyingLo mentioned that he wasn’t sure how Austin was going to react to his tunes since they don’t easily fit the mold of what’s expected for SX performing artists. This was something far beyond normal; it was phenomenal. With his hands in the air like a conductor summoning the bleeps and blurps from his decks, FlyingLo exuded confidence—and absolute joy.

Cubic Zirconia hit the Karmaloop stage at Beauty Bar under the back yard tent in the high sun. A couple hundred people filed in the space, managers, DJs, bands and friends from New York and LA sparsed through the crowd with a curious familiarity. They hit with energy, the set was fluid, calculated, and most importantly fun as could be. Sean Carasso of Falling Whistles asked me “can they keep this up for 6 days?” and I told him “they’ve already done six days.” It was a rabbit out of the hat, yet there’s always logic and the prestige with magic.

Hipster-Knack fusionists Free Energy made their debut network TV appearance last night on Letterman. And while most young bands fall flat on television, singer Paul Sprangers has clearly spent enough time singing in front of the mirror to get his mug just right for the cameras. The group’s James Murphy-produced debut album came out digitally last week, but I might be adding FE to the list of bands worth checking out live.
