SXSW Day One Recap: A Wicked Warp To Austin

The journey starts off with a mind-numbing bang. 

Descending upon Austin, Texas on the 17th of March, the expectations brought upon the all-encompassing journey that is SXSW are at an extreme high. Press scurrying to the Austin Convention Center to get their badges, kids RSVP’ing to any free unofficial festival events they can, and the hard-knock artist/promoter trying to get a second of attention from passer-bys on Sixth Street. What is missing from that entire spiel is the sense of euphoric confusion there is in terms of just walking around Austin. Day 1 surely brought an introduction to the madness and ended it in a fashion that wasn’t just great, but the perfect wake-up to call to the joy that this festival brings.

Arriving with the nuisance that traffic would be an issue (and paying $15 more than a regular cab ride), the badge pick-up was no sweat. Within …

Autechre 12-Hour Mix Download and Setlist (MP3)

For those who couldn’t blow off an entire day this week to listen to the live stream of Autechre’s 12-hour mix session, the whole set is available for download at Percussionlab, and a legally-questionable file transfer site near you. More impressive is the almost complete set list that was quickly created via the hive mind of global trainspotters. There’s still a few “unknowns” on the doc, so test your ID abilities.

Of course, Autechre gave us this music gift in exchange for talking about this new album, Oversteps, which arrives on Warp Records March 23rd. So there ya go.

New Flying Lotus Track – “Quakes” (MP3)

The late, great Alice Coltrane would be proud.

Her great nephew, California’s Flying Lotus (born Steve Ellison) has released one of his latest experiments in preparation for the upcoming May release of Cosmogramma rightfully titled, “Quakes.” Although the track won’t be on the actual album, it does appear on Warp’s latest compilation titled 2010, featuring other Warp acts like Bibio, Pivot and Africa HiTech. (Right now you can download tracks from Gonjasufi, which was produced by Flying Lotus, Nice Nice and The Hundred in the Hands for free on the Warp website.) But I’m sure listeners wouldn’t mind a sample from the bass-heavy producer.

“Quakes,” which is nothing short of Flying Lotus’ signature dub sound, walks like meter reading a 3.5 earthquake, but with style. The short clicks and the steady beat …
