Gettin’ lifted in the Mile High City with Alex B.

While producer/label manager Alex B (né Botwin) might often get lumped in with Low End Theory’s abstract beat cats of Los Angeles, he’s a Colorado boy through and through. In this episode of XLR8R TV, he takes us for a trip through the kissing-cousin locales of Denver and Boulder to show us the region’s vegetarian delights, its vinyl havens, and its other unique wonders (Mexican-restaurant jazz clubs, anyone?).

Since 2002, XLR8R has produced in-depth city guides by talking to the people who know cities best: the musicians and artists responsible for creating vibrant local scenes. This episode also coincides with the release of the Denver edition of XLR8R’s City Guide iPhone application. To download the City Guide app, go to xlr8r.com/cityguide or type in “XLR8R Scion City Guide” in the iTunes app store.

It is our great privilege to announce that STS9’s latest release “Axe the Cables” is available RIGHT NOW!

In December of 2009, STS9 sat down in one of America’s most pristine modern opera houses on a chilly night in Denver, CO to create the inaugural “Axe The Cables… An Evening of STS9?.  What this night encompasses is one of, if not the most flawless STS9 event in the bands decade plus history.  The entire show was played, for the most part, sans all “electric” gear including the common stage instrumentation of laptops our fans have grown quite accustomed to. To say the event was a hit is an understatement.  It was a night legends are made of.  So much so the band has decided to re-cut, re-mix, and re-master this into one massive release.

“Axe the Cables” is available NOW on STS9’s ever-exploding record label 1320 RECORDS as well as iTUNES, and ThinkIndie.com

After the unexpected attention from their debut EP, How Long Does It Take To Get To Space?, classmates Henry Allen and Preston Walker, known by most as the live EDM duo VIRTUAL BOY, took some time to create their follow up effort, Omega Supreme – EP, scheduled to release on 1320 Records on June 29th, 2010. The EP features two new tracks with remixes from cohorts, St Andrew and FuzZ, as well as the duo’s college professor and Los Angeles electronic producer don, Steve Nalepa. With another release on the horizon, Omega Supreme – EP is a regal sample of what Virtual Boy has in store for the future.

After nearly a year of intense synthesizer love making, FuzZ is set to release Sparkle Vision, a 23-minute collection of delightfully evil, and strangely sparkly music. Meshing distorted funk riffs with 80’s inspired synthesis and heavy psychedelic interludes, Sparkle Vision fuses several musical influences into a cohesive, and enjoyable wall of so

Steve Nalepa teaches a music technology class at Chapman University Conservatory of Music that has become a breeding ground for inspiring new talent; alumni include fellow 1320 artists Virtual Boy, FuzZ and St Andrew. His students receive an abundance of audio production and recording techniques, explore the history of innovation in music technology, and get deep with Ableton Live, Reason and Logic.  Each week they create songs, score to picture and craft remixes, and also receive a heavy dose of career advice from the high-profile guests that come in and lecture throughout the semester. Previous guests include Mary Anne Hobbs, Nosaj Thing, Richard Devine, Adam Freeland, Daddy Kev, The Glitch Mob, The Delta Mirror, and Lorn to name a few.  In this first installment of the ‘Professor Nalepa vs’ series of collaborative EPs between teacher and former students, Nalepa hit the studio with indie rockers, It’s Not Over Quebec.  The resulting tracks developed organically into deep, heavy rocking electronic excursions that ended up pushing both artists into uncharted territory.
