Stampede Of Sound :: Fat Beats And Anthony Maintain’s “The Elephant Race”

Posted on August 10, 2013 | Leave a comment

from the digital desk of Fat Beats:

“Anthony Maintain comes to the label via Boston, MA. He moved down to Austin a couple years ago and has been making his own special brand of twisted and dark music as one of the original performers at Austin’s Exploded Drawing. An MC in his own right, this LP showcases his unreal soundscapes through his production, and invites you into a world of terror set to a kick and a snare. Pure Original now out of Texas, he is and has been part of our extended family since the beginning.”

Purchase of this cassette gets you 13 original songs, plus a killer digital version containing an additional 13 remixes from Lo Phi, Soundfounder, Chief and TheDoomsdayDevice, Kinder and more. Support good music.

New Underground Sounds :: Exploded Drawing SXSW 2013 Sampler

Posted on March 20, 2013 | Leave a comment

Just before all of the madness that was SXSW took place, the homies at Expolded Drawing dropped an amazing sampler showcasing some of the talent that performed at this year’s showcase and in the past. I was lucky enough to get placement on this compilation, and the rest of the lineup is insane. Take a listen, take a copy, and tell a friend.

Dope artwork as well from Glory Gold & Glitter.

Maintain The Rock :: Anthony Maintain Keeps Feeding You

Posted on January 10, 2013 | Leave a comment

My favorite Bruin fan, Anthony Maintain, has been hella busy in the studio lately. After sneak previewing the world to The Elephant Race before it was picked up by iNSECT Records, he has steadily worked on and released high quality music, both old and new.

Shortly after The Elephant Race was pulled in order to prepare for its official release (and its companion piece full of remixes by myself and other Exploded Drawing alumni), Maintain released The Elephant Runts, a collection of work that didn’t quite make the cut for the LP, but are still worth a listen.

Recently, Maintain just returned off of a winter tour back to his hometown of Boston. In preparation for the tour, he put together an exclusive compilation of old work, new work, and guest appearances. This comp features appearances by Onry Ozborn, Homeroom, Click-Clack and myself, and many more. Dig it and dig it good…

Stay tuned… there will be much more coming from his direction in the near future.

Making New Friends :: Man of The Downtrodden

Posted on June 18, 2012 | 1 comment

The name Man of The Downtrodden keeps popping up all around in things I’m involved with. First, I noticed him (and really enjoyed his contribution) on the Sole Glow Collective Compilation Volume One. Then, he played Exploded Drawing IX (with well know DJ and Detroit representer House Shoes) and rocked it proper like.

After finding out he was mutual friends with my main man Collin Williams, I decided it was time to do some musical research. Guess who wins out on this one… not sure? Everyone! This is some dope music.

30Beats30Days really got my attention. Check it out for yourself:

Exploded Visuals :: soundfounder’s “Spilled Nip”

Posted on March 12, 2012 | Leave a comment

The creative minds behind Exploded Drawing have come together once again to form some audio-visuals worth your while. “Spilled Nip” is a gem from my man soundfounder‘s solo LP Complete Dream Home, and with Butcher Bear on the visuals, you know it’s dope. Take a second for some audio-visual hypnotism, won’t you?
