MP3: Reefer – Let It Go (Flying Lotus Remix)
Reefer is Nick Thorburn (Islands, The Unicorns, Human Highway) and Los Angeles-based hip-hop producer/engineer Daddy Kev (Busdriver, Freestyle Fellowship, Awol One). Mutual admirers of each other’s work, the two developed a close friendship over the years after being introduced by avant-rapper Giovanni Marks (Subtitle). The idea to create a record together was hatched at SXSW party a few years back where Nick and Kev decided they should take their disparate music backgrounds and create something in an environment much different than their normal lives in Montreal and Los Angeles, respectively. Quite possibly a drunken agreement — as Nick was ejected that evening from the venue for sneaking in booze — they still followed through on their brilliant idea and isolated themselves on the Hawaiian island of Maui to create their vision.

MP3: Volcano Suns – Jak (from Bright Orange Years)
MP3: Volcano Suns – White Elephant (from All Night Lotus Party)
Merge Records will release Volcano Suns’ first two albums on CD for the first time on January 27th, 2009.
Founded in Boston in 1983 by former Mission of Burma drummer Peter Prescott, Volcano Suns released their debut album The Bright Orange Years, and followed it up a year later with another album, All Night Lotus Party. Both were originally released on Homestead Records but have never been available on CD until now.
Merge will make both albums available on CD for the first time on January 27, 2009, with reissues remastered by Bob Weston and featuring loads of bonus tracks including radio sessions and other rarities.
I don’t currently have enough room on my DAW to remix that I’m From Barcelona track, but I plan to as soon as I can; expect it to be as unlistenable as my usual work.
