BANG! Northern California surely loves that deep, dark, dubby nu-school sound, and Eureka and Arcata have started to bring it hard with banging, modern acts on the regular! Steeped in the musical exchange with San Francisco to the south and Portland to the north, the tastes of music fans in this area are much more akin to an urban center than quite coastal towns.
To that crowd of discerning aficionados of electronic music we bring a whomp-feast of epic proportions featuring San Francisco’s own Flying Skulls, Psy-Fi, DJ Touch & Mike Diesel!
Straight dope on these Flying Skulls guys? They’re dirty. Massive drums, grimy low-end, mucked up distorted synthesizers, live syncopated beats flipping between 4/4, 3/4, and 7/8 time. The Skulls distill these elements through their battle-tested mix interface into dancefloor-rending sets of crushing improv with a cinematic depth meant for the very largest of soundsystems. Chromekids recently described their sound as, “A heavyweight collection of nasty synths, wobbly basslines and crunked out glitchy beats so dirty you’d swear they robbed their MPC player off a crack dealer.”
This show is a follow-up to The Flying Skulls absolute decimation of The Arcata Theater Dec 5 2009. A Rebel Bass Collective show that put Ana Sia, The Flying Skulls, and Clay on a collision course with a packed theater of fist-pumping, raging Northern California heads! The recording of The Flying Skulls set from that show is sweeping the internet and is available for free download below!

“This super juicy-and-crunked-out tape was recorded when The Flying Skulls shared the bill with Ana Sia at the Arcata Theater Dec 5 2009 with a near-sellout crowd cheering them on! Includes all original Skulls material, much of it live and improv, along with with Flying Skulls remixes of and by J. Rogers and Jason Short of Blipswitch, Jackson from MO2, Hooj Choons, Mochipet, plus mashups with Easy E, Busta Rhymes, MC Lyte, Rhianna, JZ, and Mudmowth.”
As the SF Bay Guardian said, “Expect ferocious units geared with space age machinery and foot soldiers parading the illest beats. These cats together posses a schizophrenic style that blasts through free-jazz out thereness…”

DETAILS: Sunset Promotions and Opulent Temple have teamed up to turn Valentine’s upside-down with the darkly delicious Black Valentine’s Masquerade. This midnight garden of evil will feature acclaimed Aussie crunk-breakbeat produeer Nick Thayer and SF’s own electronic skeleton crew, the Flying Skulls. Evil anti-Valentine attire recommended.
Check your radar good citizens, that blip you see fast approaching is none other than The Flying Skulls, a nu-school production collective that plays live improvisational dub-step, grimy breaks, and electro! The group brings the future-soundz of the modern dance music studio and interpolates them through the filter of live improv. With an old school jazz ethos The Skulls combine their tightly-honed electronic and hiphop infused sonic orchestra in a most dirty and crunked-out way. Their style has been described alternatively as “Mutant Electro Crunk,” “Improv Beat Bashing,” and simply: “That glitch-blap teleportation sh*t.” Consisting of experienced producer/performers, who all have their own styles and signatures, The Flying Skulls can captivate a room with melodic, explosive beats, or whip up a dance floor with hard hitting dance jams. Straight dope on these Flying Skulls guys? They’re dirty. Big-ass gritty drums, grimy low-end, mucked up distorted synthesizers, dope West Coast vocalists, and dancefloor-rending beats with a cinematic depth meant for the very largest of soundsystems. Their latest release on 1320 Records was recently described as, “A heavyweight collection of nasty synths, wobbly basslines and crunked out glitchy beats so dirty you’d swear they robbed their MPC players off a crack dealer.” The Flying Skulls are: J.Tonal (Jeff Wareham), Snareface (Jarvez Turnage), Jerome Forney, and Ribotto.

Collective Efforts:New Single-’I Get Down’, produced by Diamond D
Warming it up just a little bit more for the upcoming ‘Freezing World’ release, Collective Efforts brings us the Diamond D produced track ‘I Get Down‘.
Check it out HERE.
“Safe In The Steep Cliffs” out NOW
“Safe In The Steep Cliffs” is a set of finely-crafted, epic instrumentals from Portland-based electronica/hip hop/downtempo producer Emancipator, featuring tight, syncopated percussion, organic melodies and eclectic samples. This subtle beatmaster eludes genre classification but will appeal to admirers of DJ Shadow, Bonobo, Nujabes, Pretty Lights.
To some, it must seem like this young electronic producer came out of nowhere this year. Emancipator played his first live show in July 2009, opening for Bonobo at the Roseland Theater (cap. 1500). Since then, he’s toured with Bassnectar, drawn crowds at festivals like Trinumeral and Symbiosis, and closed out Sound Tribe Sector 9’s late night parties in Denver at the request of the band.
But those in the know have been following Emancipator since he self-released his first album, Soon It Will Be Cold Enough, at the age of 19 in 2006. His agile melodies layered over headnodic, immaculately-produced beats captivated fans across the internet and across the world. “Soon It Will Be Cold Enough” was picked up by Japanese super-producer Nujabes, pressed in Japan and sold 5,000 copies in the first six months. Emancipator landed a Puma sponsorship, gave an interview to Rolling Stone Japan, discovered one of his songs was played at the Beijing Olympics (still trying to figure out how that happened) and his song “Shook,” a mashup that perfectly mixes Mobb Deep’s mighty raps with a haunting track from the Icelandic band Sigur Ros, become the highest-rated song on Hype Machine’s “Best 50 Songs of 2007,” and appeared on Hype Machine as the #2 most popular song in April 2009. Meanwhile, fans waited hungrily for the next album.
“Safe In The Steep Cliffs” blends new instrumentation and organic samples with the signature Emancipator style of clean production, silky melodies and addictive drums. Dense layers of choirs, horns, American folk instruments such as the banjo and mandolin, violin and some distinct Asian influences make for a playful but refined album built out of intricate tracks listeners can enjoy on as many levels as they want. Dance to it, chill out to it, immerse your mind in it: http://emancipatormusic.com.
