Acid Brass and then some...

Music from Acid Brass in last week's playlist, adding to pool of dope brass music I've been feeling lately. Brass bands are nerdy enough as is but covering acid house hits takes this to a new level of nerddom with some really pleasing results. This Jeremy Deller guy has got this music/art/conceptual mashup mentality right, mapping out the whole process for the gallery (pictured above). Surprised it took me so long to get down on this. Some mp3s have been graciously shared on The Stranger's music blog.

Music from Dan Deacon before that. He'll be coming to town July 12th at the Middle East (more info blogged here). Dan Deacon also dips into the music/art/performance world with several video collaborations scattered around the web. His near constant tour schedule has also resulted in some good live footage. Looks like a hell of a time!

And a little tambourine medley before that. Soul Searcher's Blow Your Whistle as sampled in the new Eve joint. Wasn't sure at first, but I slowed it down and it's all there. "A Zillion Tambourine's" from AmmonContact after that (who I seriously can't put down lately). BONUS google image search via Giessel (and Chubby Cox).

Quick nod to Beat Research last night with awesome sets from RNDM and a super special surprise set from DJ Ripley! Had no idea she was on the bill but was pleasantly surprised to hear her totally murdering it late into the evening. Going to try to have her swing by the show sometime this summer!

That does it for me. Join me again tomorrow night for another go around. Till then,
