Console is Martin Gretschmann, from the very impressive Notwist (did
anyone in Europe catch them opening for Stereolab last
tour?...curious about their live sound). Anyway, I cannot recommend
the Shrink LP (on Zero Hour) enough! a perfect blending --elements
of indie, jazz, synth loops, etc (this usually doesn't work, but
here, oh yeah...check the production too)

I'd say Kenric Mcdowell (aka JVKM) is the best of the 'drum and
bliss' genre...what you could hear playing at the local hipster
underground coffeehouse. i could see getting chicks by djing this.
Pleasant and chill are the key words here
Check the Taking Care of You LP or the Teledesic Disco 1 & 2 EPs
Darla (outta SF) has a lot to offer tho--check out their extensive website
www.darla.com

anyone heard the latest Gonzales LP (on Kitty-Yo)? ...last I heard
was the OP Original Prankster EP.

oh btw about Ae Coachella--Urb Magazine will be launching a full time
label and among its releases this year will be a few from the
Coachella event, split by genre, with one being "Experimental" I
suppose--don't quote me on that--but the point is ae tracks are
supposed to be on it.
going to see Panacea next week @ Spaceland...should be pretty "fun" :)
