It's a dance around in your underwear kind of 3-day weekend. Happy Memorial Day. (Found at Decorno)

The Future Is Mental

I've mentioned them before but these guys Mazaibuzai and Mr. Gizmoe are two super multi-talented producer/dj's who are coming on strong to the SLC scene. Really great stuff happening on their conjoined upstart label BusyHorse Records. Do yourself and them a flavor and swing by the W. Lounge tomorrow night (Wed) May 23rd to see/hear/experience The Mental Mix. They are the future. The future is bright.

Ollo Music

Ollo are two wicked-smart, endearing Gents named Alex Crowfoot and Lars Chresta whom stumbled into my life during the Olympics (oh... a decade ago), we became good friends and pen pals you might say. Well, they have a fantastic new body of work in the electronic-dance-downtempo-krautrock-minimal-synth-pop vein and are bringing their tour back to the states including SLC this Summer. All the way from Australia!

Give the material a free spin below, then purchase physical treasure for future generations. Godspeed you fabulous Ollo boys... Godspeed.

This is the third, or fourth, album from ollo. It is the first that was conceived as a single body of work. Physical CD comes with 16 page booklet featuring images derived from silver gelatin photograms made by Alex. In part, the album is the result of a series of 'what if' questions ollo asked themselves...

Soooo... when I was visiting Austin, TX last year with Mark, the guest patio/lounge at the divine Hotel San Jose had these great DJ's just hanging out playing vintage 45's every night during happy hour and into the night. I just came across by Chicago DJ and 'B-Side Warrior' Tim Zawada are reminiscient of that same vibe we got at the San Jose. So put these babies in your pocket for a refreshing twist on that next cocktail party or BBQ.

Happy Friday everyone! If you make it through the first half of this video you will understand why house people love the old school beats. We can jack to anything really.

Secret Ingredients

Occasionally I find DJ mixes that are so good I want to keep them a secret. But alas, it wouldn't be fair to keep John Talabot all to myself. I already posted about his album Fin last month but def get these mixes if you need some detroit style deepness in your life...
