Fri 14th Sound Crash Productions presents DAEDELUS + Guests
Doors 7.30 "His music vibrates with 21st century invention." [Q] Daedalus stops off in London for one date on a huge tour of Europe and N. America at the lovely Luminaire. This is the perfect chance to catch one of the most innovative artists to emerge from the U.S. in years. Tickets for the Lumimaire show are as ever, a little limited so get in early and secure ringside seats for a truly captivating experience. After all, the last Daedalus gig at The Luminaire was described, in one review, as being London's finest electronic moment. Pretty tantalising, eh? "Fabulously eclectic in stylings and moods… Uncanningly dreamlike and resonant." [Mojo] Daedelus. One of LA's most daring new artists, this young musical romantic weaves together a true "love-sound" that falls between honeyed melody and avant-electronics. Daedelus chops and splices disparate acoustic sources into incredible works of staggering resonance. Contrasting IDM styled cut-ups with childlike arrangements from the 30's and 40's, he has refined a style that has no imitators. "A feast of many different favours from one of Ninja Tune's finest." [Spill] His live show, which utilizes a custom-built sample trigger device and software package, has amazed audiences across the US, Europe, and Japan and secured his reputation as one of the most exciting producers in electronic music. Exactly what you'd expect from a scarily well-connected hip hop nut who happens to dress in Edwardian clothing and names himself after an Ancient Greek Legend. Word "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."
