2nd Place At The Seattle Laptop Battle!

Just got back from Seattle where I took Second Place in the Laptop Battle! Such a sick event, some super dope producers were in the house that night, some of my favorites were KFO, Potato Finger, Deadnoise, and First Place Winner and label-mate Vincent Parker.  Big shout outs to all the producers that competed that night as well as Splatinum and Kris Moon for killing it on the showcase sets.  Here's some video from the evening...

Shows!

This Thursday December 17th I'll be at The Goodfoot in Portland with Off The Grid and then it's up to Seattle for the Laptop Battle Friday December 18th at Chop Suey and the Rockit Science One Year Anniversary Party Saturday December 19th at The King Cat Theater with Vincent Parker, Pressha, and more... see you there!

Interview For Downtempo.ca

Canada can kick me out of their country, but they can't keep me off their internets! Here's an interview from Downtempo.ca....

"His tunes are head bobbing, melodic and with that live/improvisational quality that is all too rare in traditional electronic music."

Thanks goes out to Dewey db and Ill Esha!

Some extremely massive parties coming up... see you there!

Motion Sickness CD Release Recap

I think "ridiculous" is the only word to describe this weekend's Motion Sickness CD Release Parties.  Friday night at the Crown Room in Portland the Run Riot (un)Sound System was in full effect with LSP, myself, The Great Mundane, Gouesion, and Kitimat droppin' underground bangers, unreleased heat, and remixes of each others tunes.  Big thanks to everyone that came out and also to everyone that helped spread the word.  Saturday night's party in Victoria was rediculous in another sense.  Unfortunately, The Great Mundane, Gouseion, and myself were denied entry into Canada due to visa complications.  Sorry to everyone out in Victoria, we're working on sorting things out and making it up there soon.  However, the party still went off with LSP and label founder Kitimat destroying the Lucky Bar 'til the wee hours of the morning.  Thanks to Christa and our friends at Canadian Immigration Services for the pictures!

Interview and Motion Sickness Reviews

Here's an interview I did for the original cascadian underground blog, Renegade Mag.  There's also been some great reviews of the Run Riot Records Motion Sickness compilation popping up on some fresh music blogs as well, check 'em out...

Doktor Krank -  "a diverse compilation full of sick basslines, glitched synths, ghettotech beats and funky breakcore vistas"

Culture System - "you’ll snap your neck from nodding your head so hard"

I Am A Laser - "Run Riot Records just busted a big compilation nut in my ears"

Renegade Mag - "grimey funky bounce"

Also, the Motion Sickness CD Release Parties are this weekend in Portland, OR Friday and Victoria, BC Saturday with Kitimat, Gouseion, The Great Mundane, LSP, and myself.  I'll now leave you with this mix LSP did just for the parties... enjoy!
