Fri 16th Soundclash presents DAEDELUS + Shadow Orchestra + Gadi [DJ]
Doors 7.30 "His music vibrates with 21st century invention." [Q] Daedelus aka Alfred-Weisberg-Roberts returns to the fray with 'Denies The Day's Demise', a new album of electro-tropicalia. The LA-based musician and producer always tries to do something thematic with every release and the contrast with his first Ninja Tune record could hardly be more stark. "Fabulously eclectic in stylings and moods… Uncanningly dreamlike and resonant." [Mojo] If 'Exquisite Corpse' was his hip-hop album, this is his techno record. There are no collaborations here, Daedelus choosing to strip right back to his own music and voice. In a further departure, this production focuses on the live elements of his previous recordings rather then his well-known sampling style. This is Daedelus naked, so to speak. "A feast of many different favours from one of Ninja Tune's finest." [Spill] A thematic and musical tour de force which repays repeated listenings, Daedelus' 'Denies The Day's Demise' released on Ninja Tune, is all about raging against the dying of the light, the romance of the night and the sheer arse-waggling marvellousness of latino rhythms. Don't dorm… "Words aren't wholly appropriate. Only repeated listens will do Daedelus justice." [Rock Sound 8/10] "The addictive avant-garde splice-maestro turns the music world on itsxz head as past and present sounds magically meld into the future. Witty, endearing and alternative… 21st century mood music." [Flux] "Daedelus remains one of the outstanding producers out there right now, every track fizzes with ideas, pushings hip-hops parameters beyond their outerlimits. Dazzling." [Fact] "Daedelus twists, cuts and flips samba rhythms and acid bursts into an intoxicating brew. Bleeping good." [Dazed and Confused] "An impressive showing from a multi-talented artist."
