Promise Psuedo, one of the harder working hip-hop cats in the central Texas area, has been busy at work on a new project, The Television Will Not Be Revolutionized. Here is a sneak preview of sorts… take a listen to Ego Trippin’, the first single, and take a free download while you’re at it.

from the digital desk of Da’Shade Moonbeam:
This track has been in the making for 3 years now. Originally it started with the music you hear on it now, except it was not mixed. It got close to 10,000 plays in the MYSPACE era. I am giving it new life on the “Just Me EP” and the 2012 Album “A Sun Sized Moon.” It is still new, and still very much a banger to me! Enjoy!

One of my favorite recent bands to work with is Corporate Elvis. Guitarist Robert Andrew and Drummer/Singer Mike Hidalgo Pittman are quite the dynamic duo, and every time I see them, I see improvement. Here are some highlights from our recent show at Tantra Coffee House:

For those that missed it, Exploded Drawing XI was AMAZING. It truly is rare to see that many people gather regularly strictly to show appreciation for producers and DJs. Many props to soundfounder and Butcher Bear for putting together an event of this nature, and having the ability to make it successful. Here are some of the highlights I was able to capture:

I was unable to record any video of my set, but I have made the set available for download… and believe me, it’s worth it. A nice stream of consciousness I call Freedom Talk 100.

My man Da’Shade Moonbeam seems to be in the midst of a very creative stretch in time. Spinning Shell has been keeping up with him and the recording of his new project, and webisodes are being created as completion of the project nears. Here are two of them, so that you can get a feel for what’s going on.

(from the digital Facebook desk of Exploded Drawing)
A monthly event in Austin for electronic music composers, sound collectors, and beat makers to perform their work in a comfortable atmosphere with a good sound system. Originality is encouraged and will be cherished.
Exploded Drawing: A night of electronic composers, sound collectors. and beat makers. Six 20 minute sets from six different musicians performing their own musical creations using whatever tools they like. 5$ donation helps us provide a good sound system, adult beverages, and an earful of brand new sounds.
In case you’re wondering, the name Exploded Drawing is a reference to a similar beat night that existed in LA called Sketchbook. In it’s hay day, Sketchbook, organized by ‘Dublab-Rat’ Kutmah, had many noteworthy beat makers come through including Prefuse 73, Madlib, Take, Ras G, Flying Lotus, J-Dilla, Daedelus and many more. That night helped to spawn the now world-famous weekly event in LA known as The Low End Theory. We’re hoping to continue that creative, forward thinking, perspective that made Sketchbook and The Low End Theory such a wonderful, unusual success.
Exploded Drawing XI features performances from :
Computer Jay (Los Angeles/Stones Throw Records)
Lo Phi (Austin)
Doldrums (Toronto)
Chief The Doomsday Device (Austin/San Marcos)
Anna Love (Austin)
Selva Oscura (Austin)
Butcher Bear plays records at 9pm, Live Sets start at 10
Hosted by soundfounder and Butcher Bear
Hope to see everyone out there!
