Care To See a Genius at Work? Watch Nosaj Thing

Respect, Love, Admiration, Amazement… these are just a few Words/Feelings The Music Ninja has towards Nosaj Thing. He is able to construct powerful experimentally driven electronic beats and take them to another level. Today, for the first time I actually witnessed a set by him thanks to The Music Slut posting this video… I am in awe.

If you enjoy what you saw PLEASE check out our previous post about him and listen to some of his other work.

And if you are wondering what in the world is he hitting? That is an mpc beat machine that can be preset to activate specific sounds by simply tappin on it. Our friend Objektiv One has an amazing video showcasing not only his talents but what its capable with a beat machine.

This is a routine I have been working on for awhile! I flip this sample to death until I can’t flip it any more. From grimey, to spacey, from technical to banging. Its all fun and games. Enjoy.

[New Releases] First 2 Weeks of January 2010

Aside from, hopefully, featuring great songs, we feel like in 2010 we’ve got to step our game up and be on top of the latest releases. What is there to look up to this January? You’ve come to the right place. Here are a couple of new releases we are looking for.

flying-lotus
Flying Lotus is all about exploring the experimental possibilities of other genres. He released a couple of tracks a couple of months back giving Lil Wayne some glitches and dreamy synthesized melodies converting the track into a surreal experience. He’s a well involved artist that produces his own music and always stays current remixing new songs. If you do not know a thing about this guy, listen to a couple of his previous work below. Massage situation came out in 2007 in his Reset EP; Rickshaw is the 7th track in L.A. EP 1 X 3 from 2008; and the last goodie is a remix from another experimental/electronic DJ Nosaj Thing.

The much anticipated OK GO album is dropping next week! I remember discovering them in 2007 thanks the “Here It Goes Again” music video that completely won the internet over. While we wait for Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky, here is a song from the official Soundtrack 90210 released back in October 2009.

Contra is the second album by American indie rock band Vampire Weekend.

[Electronica] The Xx – Islands (Nosaj Thing Remix)

nosaj-thing_wrap-pic

Nosaj Thing is now, without a doubt, among L.A.’s finest musical modulators. His electronic soundscapes and wild beat tectonics play like vignettes that affect the listener’s mind as deeply as he hits their soul. Nosaj Thing creates nothing less than the sound mastery of beat driven, experimental electronics from a gifted noise constructor. – Last.fm

Nosaj Thing’s debut album Drift was released June of 2009 and peaked at #5 in iTunes Electronic Chart.
