Jimmy Edgar (Warp Records) www.jimmyedgar.com
For those who still assume that Detroit is comprised of boarded windows,
violent streets, and a charisma-deficient populace, twenty-year-old Jimmy
Edgar disperses such thoughts, while kindling hope for the future of the
Motor City. A producer of rare ability who has fiddled with beats since
the age of ten, Edgar maintains an understanding of music that's well
beyond his years. As a high-profile recent addition to the vaunted Warp
Records roster, he melds Detroit soul and minimal micro-funk to form a
patchwork of forward-looking dance floor tracks in a fascinating array of
sound. He passes through Los Angeles on his west coast tour
supporting his Warp debut, "Bounce, Make, Model."
David Last (The Agriculture) www.davidlast.net
David Last is seriously interested in making beautiful and funny things.
Nine years ago in New York he began making books with the art books
collective Booklyn, while making sounds with bands and L.E.S. pirate radio
station "Steal This Radio." Since, he's continually produced tracks and
begun producing live video projections. His video work reacts to sound,
and includes animated drawings, paintings, collage, photographs, and
camera footage. His current sounds are being released on NYC label The
Agriculture. David Last has done solo and collaborative work in North
America and in Japan. His artwork has been bought and shown by collections
in the USA, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and MOMA. David
Last's interest in coaxing strange beauty from electro-organic systems has
led him into collaborations with many artists. He has collaborated on live
audio and/or visual performances with the Kompakt and Rephlex labels, Alex
Patterson (The Orb), and Colin Newman (Wire)just to name a few.
Aerostatic (Michele Darling & Terry Golob)
NYC based Aerostatic compose microbeats, macrobeats, atmospheres and
ambience, then sonically violate them using hardware, software and an
array of sensors. The results are polarized between sexy/foreplay music
and surreal imagery, ie. asymetrical insects flying in and amongst
transgenic flowers in an artificial garden. It's all weird but one word
sums it all up... Hydroponics.
