These Are Powers Candyman 12′ ep is out now on RVNG Int’l. My favorite track is World Class People and also the Teengirl Fantasy World Class People remix.  MNDR had the major honor of playing the ep release along side a face melting set by Blondes at CoCo66 (best bar live music venue in all of NYC).  The show was absolutely amazing.  There was a crazy fireworks type lighting event that occurred throughout the entire show along with an audience made of pure electricity.

Here is the ep.  It is available via RVNG Int’l website.  This is an essential 2010 spin for any music lover/dj.

Also here are some live pics from Village Voice Blog. Photos by Rebecca Smeyne

Have a new song I am very excited about.  Peter and I began the song in an awesome manner.  We both just stopped talking and started to make beats.  They were both in the right vein.  So we took my beats and ran it through this ipod speaker thing.

The Mighty Hammer of Thor!!!

I really love Hecuba.  I think they are making the best performance art pop music in the modern era.  They never let me down.  They are my lifestyle choice.

So I am psyched on this.  Interview, VillageVoice Online, NY Times, FADER….checks it out in the print and online.

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.

Check out the write-up on HypeBeast.

My shirt I wear at home.  90’s Liz Claiborne special.

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.
