LISTEN To Daedelus Live On KCRW (MP3)

Fabulously foppish beatsmith Daedelus has been an LA treasure for years. But the producer also known as Alfred Darlington has been experiencing a heightened profile lately, sure to be raised even higher with this 30-minute mix he did for SoCal public radio powerhouse KCRW. Says the man himself:

An almost 30 minute mix of a morning live set, really pretty mellow throughout and still a snap shot for me of what I was feeling in 2010. I hope it has weight going into 2012. You’ll notice sounds from Lorn, Floating Points, Tokimonsta, Flying Lotus, and all sorts of non-electronics like Sonic Youth and Beirut, among many many other odds and ends.

Lollapalooza 2011 – The Final Report (Review & Gallery)

Not going to go in our reporting took a bit longer than the rest (servers down!). But here’s one last look.

Lollapalooza 2011 Review

Twenty years ago, adding the suffix “-palooza” to anything was unheard of. Today, it’s become a common term for anything explosive, peculiarly large or dynamic (examples: couchapalooza – amazing discounts at a local furniture store, or pptpalooza.net a website with loads of power point templates).  In true form, this year’s Lolla crowd was the largest ever (90,000 per day) to flood into the gates of Grant Park.

Like most 20th birthdays, Lollapalooza 2011 was memorable and interesting, but seemed a bit anticipatory. The hot spot of all three days was Perry’s tent which from noon til dark buzzed with bodies dancing almost ceaselessly in the massive 40,000 square foot enclosure. Hot, muddy, pulsating. Lolla …

10 Lollapalooza Acts You Can’t Miss


It must be August, it must be hot, and it must be time once again to head to Chicago’s Grant Park to celebrate Lollapalooza, the annual Midwest superfestival that packs somewhere arounf 100,000 people into the expansive Chicago waterfront to hear some of the world’s biggest acts along with a great many up-and-comers.

This year, the Lollapalooza brand is celebrating 20 years since it first hit America as a roaming daylong event—with bands such as Nine Inch Nails (who played in daylight!), Ice-T’s metal project Body Count, Siouxsee and the Banshees and Janes Addiction introducing the American people to the alternative nation. A gathering of tribes not really seen since the heyday of the ’60s.

We don’t expect to see as many mohawks or Rollin Band sun tattoos at Lollapalooza 2011, but there’s still plenty of great music to discover. Move ahead and check out URB’s 10 Lollapalooza Acts You Can’t Miss. …MORE
