The new video from Daedelus is for the track "LA Nocturn", a song that appears on the split CD he shares with Jogger. The CD itself is the first volume in a new series Friends Of Friends. Showcasing a terribly...

Daedelus one of my favorite artists and just a nice dude has a new recording coming out with Jogger (who I know nothing about). Their record is Friends of Friends Volume 1 which I assume at some point will be followed up by other volumes which is true and the concept is a cool one.Friends of Friends or FOF invites an artist to join them to do a split EP; they in turn invite another musician or ...

Daedelus keeps himself busy.

Ghislain Poirier’s nut-job Lazer Bass (Future Blap? Turbo Crunk?) set was near maniacal when Daedelus, or should I say “Dr. Jekyll"—what was with that costume?—crept on stage at the Doug Fir. For at least 15 minutes, Daedelus stood to Poirier’s right and enjoyed himself, nodding with the beat and busting an occasional move to punctuate his approval.Infectious and huge as hell, Poirier’

I am always tempted to call Daedelus' music kitsch, but that would have a slightly plastic connotation. His music has consistently become more complex but no less catchy, with sampling and sequencing that mashes up more genres than I can name check. Think IDM with an eccentric's view of musical history.His last EP was out a year ago but I just revisited it and forgot what an incredible listen i...

This here is the masterful combination of an awesome summertime influenced hip-hop party beat with the whimsy that sets Daedelus apart. I would call this one epically fun, and banging for your next odd dance party.

This is really a link to a great live performance by Daedelus, just a man and his sequencer (that looks like a "lite-brite":http://www.sfpg.com/animation/liteBrite.html midi control). There are a few good arp riffs (particularly around the 28:00 minute mark) but mostly it is Daedelus at his insanely dance-able best. I posted this in a comment recently and there was a good reaction. Hopefully yo...

Speaking of LA beatmakers, there’s a new release from Daedelus in the form of split 6-track EP with Jogger on the Friends of Friends label. The idea involves Friends of Friends inviting an artist to do a split EP; they in turn invite another musician or group to complete the split release and commission [...]
