Participant in share.dj, member of the dnb squad We(tm), remixer, ableton user, theAgriculture artist, and really chill guy, Lloop has been producing a lot of deep tracks in the years post-We. You might remember We from their underground junglish drum and bass hit “Magnesium Flares.”
Lloop’s 60Hz dropped a bit ago and I like it a lot.
His latest though, “love songs” is unbelievable. I was about to go into a treatise on how he went back to the roots of music, of rock n roll, of love and happiness to craft this… And well, I won’t go into too large a post about this. Suffice it to say he wrote a lot of distinct, danceable, well thought out, sub 5 minute songs with enough bass to burn calories. Bass that sometimes sounds like iit was recorded bumping from 4×15″ 200 watt amplified speakers in the back of a 1972 Cadillac locked up running in the basement of a parking garage. Sick sick stuff.
So go to his blog to read his writings etc. Then go to amazon or itunes and get love songs… You and your loved ones will thank you.
Just added a soundcloud for Clark 8 that is strictly live records of practices, shows, etc. Just stuff you’ll never hear on an ‘official’ release otherwise, but you might like to hear. “Cleanup on Aisle 12″ is a new jam that we are working on.
So. Life. Yea. Well if you’re like me, you could use some music to be the background. I’m at this crazy err well semi crazy LA goth night known as bar sinister. Just saw my homie Paul’s band Triple Cobra play. They are from SF and they honestly rock.
In other news, Treasure Mammal, bromance, get it. That’s what I am saying. Get that. Get religious about it.
In hmm other news, preorder the Clark 8 7″ Snooze!!! clark8.com/7inch Thanks to all of you that already have. Killer!!! We’ll be getting it pressed ASAP.
Yes, LA jus’ drive me crazy. I was up hiking in Malibu today. 3 hours good times. Nice to do something other than sitting. I’ve got about 2 songs done for the rpm challenge with 2 more mostly done. Only need 6 more. Eeeek.
Yeah. So things are good. I was talking about blogging with my friend the other day. I said well, I do the Clark 8 blog on myspace with some frequency, but … nutation.net really just gets updated in spurts. Who knows though, I love wordpress, much more fun to blog with. I bet there’s some iphone app to do this directly via said device… that’d be rad.
Every person I’ve told that I moved from LA to Houston for the summer has said the same thing. You’re gonna hate it.
What the heck?
I mean seriously. This place ain’t bad, you just have to look around a bit. Admittedly I haven’t tasted the nightlife or the worst of the heat, but I know there’s stuff going on. I just got a great single speed bike for riding around.
A lot of sad/bad things have happened as a consequence of my moving out here, but oh well such is life. My girlfriend Heather is doing well in the SFV.
I’ve also been using Jott a lot to make notes to myself.
I may try to update this blog to have my twitter feed into it somehow.
I’m working at Chevron doing research into speed optimization for the latest chips.
That’s about it.
Oh yes, clark 8 is obviously kind of on hiatus, but I’m writing new stuff and we have 8 new songs needing just vocals and mixing “in the can”. So, hopefully this summer I can record the vox and guitar overdubs here in Houston and send them back to producer/engineer Kasey for mixing.
Final note, all my old tags busted… oh well. It’s hard to maintain a blog with non-default plugins.
