3rd wave feminism. I miss L.A.
Conceptualized and executed with the help of Attack, ISAORA present their 2009 fall/winter collection in an interesting light with the following collection video. With a unmistakable technical approach that is necessitated by the snowboard apparel and fashion, the video highlights the technical properties of ISAORA’s collection albeit in an unorthodox form. The video was directed by Shinichi Maruyama and edited by Jamie Carreiro.

Truly one of the best bands on planet earth.

My shirt I wear at home. 90′s Liz Claiborne special.
This is my favorite techno zoinx sweater. I just remembered to wear it today.
I modeled a timpani…how nerdy. 12 osc drum hit with varying decays and filtering to expose different harmonics. After some massaging from Peter with reverbs and mic-pre’s, I believe it turned out pretty good.
It really added another dimension to this new intimate headphone bleeder. Out of all of the MNDR records, Peter and I wanted this song to appear as if I was living inside of your skull and singing out of your ears.
Chained to Change is a record that you want to listen after some extreme things happened…or at least that’s what I think or imagine. While writing this I imagined one could fall in love or break up….maybe get fired too.
If you have a Nord G2 I am posting the patch for you to download. Have a “good” time.
OK so a while back I worked on this 12 inch using my Sound Lab suitcase synth. It’s previous working title was Variation Repition and was being fashioned into a straight to white label 12 inch. However, the track is so chrome destroying that I decided that it should be developed out into a pop dance hit. Letting this one sit is like making wine..now i am drunk.
The concept is about a North American Phalanx. A Utopian communal society invented by French philosopher Fourier. Fourier believed people would be better off living in communal societies rather than individual, private living. Fourier developed the idea of the phalanstère, a community of 1,600 based in a single structure. In the phalanstère, there would be private property, but many activities including eating and cooking would be communal.
Peter and I were talking about economics and philosophy one day and than he brought up the North American Phalanx. I remembered reading about this in the past and we decided to run with it.
Apparently they were pretty successful on the East Coast, which means the East Coast had hippies way back in the mid 1800′s. Being from California…this was a SHOCK. EAST COAST RESPECT.
I think they basically failed due to patriarchal societies. Some concepts were interesting such as building the communities like a wheel. Every element of the society surrounded the main building where everyone lived and ate. American Communism

It is time that everyone starts listening up to Mixpak Records. This is NYC based DJ Dre Skull’s label. He has consistantly put out solid 12 inches varying from idiosyncratic dance 12 inches, to New Orleans Sissy bounce veterans, to Vybz Kartel and Sizzla.
Dre Skull is seriously making some taste making 12 inches and is about to make a huge gash into culture flow.
Buy his shit here and check out his t-shirts on the online store because they are absolutely devestating.
Here is a killer Dre Skull video.
