After two nights straight of catching up-and-coming bands, there was some relaxing in the cards last night. While we've previously talked about the hit-or-miss nature of CMJ, you really can't go wrong with a night of classic disco records, which is why we went to a CMJ party thrown by the most excellent DFA Records.The party might as well have been "Victory Lap" given the year DFA has had.

Sure, Claire Evans and Jona Bechtolt aka YACHT don't seem much like the cap-wearing types, let alone the baseball cap sort. But when The Fader asked the Portland, Oregon electro wave duo--currently riding a tsunami-like wave of praise for their...

If you‘re the type of person who enjoys listening to rappers do what they do over tracks by Rock, Pop or Dance acts then you just might dig Hebrew-Hop artist Kosha Dillz’ remix of YACHT's “Psychic City.”I can't say I‘ve been following Dillz’ career (which includes collabos with former Def Jukie C-Rayz Walz) too closely, but I'm a longtime fan and supporter of Portland, Oregon-based Dan

YACHT - Psychic City (Voodoo City) from Jona Bechtolt on Vimeo.After learning that the main creative talent of YACHT is a founding member of the Blow, well you know I had to check this shit out. It sort of starts out where the Blow left off - half spoken-word, half Moldy Peaches and nursery rhymes - but somehow extremely charming and catchy. I just love how simple these songs sound, but once you

YACHT, a.k.a. Jona Bechtolt, is a one man ball of creative energy. Hailing from the apparent modern mecca of alternative music - Portland, Oregon - on stage he's a bundled mixture of contortionism and choreography, moving in perfect synchronicity wit~~

Remixes can be a dime a dozen (or a penny a laptop), but after listening to YACHT's tweaks of Stereolab and Ratatat tunes for a couple days, we figured they were more than worth posting. Jona Bechtolt's revamping of Ratatat's LP3 track "Mirando" transforms the song into a new entity, layering different noodles, bleeps, and percussion while stripping away a chunk of the instrumentation and repla...

while i was filling my face with easter bbq, some friends of mine were shooting a music video downtown. yacht, in my opinion, has long been the timbaland of the pasty white underground and his new stuff stands to propel him into even more headphones of disheveled feet draggers across the nation. this new jam, "see a penny (pick it up)" instantly won a spot as the soundtrack to my myspace page s...
