LAGOS is the music of Radius and LEO123. From Chicago and Mexico City the two producers paths had not crossed until recently. Radius has been making music and performing in Chicago since 2001. His debut full length ‘Neighborhood Suicide’ was released in 2008 on The Secret Life of Sound Label. The album was well received including mentions in the Amoeba Records Blog and also the Chicago Tribune’s local best of list and opened doors to other releases that followed including ‘Scatterbrain Tapes Vol.1′ and ‘Etc.’ albums on the Plustapes (Chicago) and Grittygoat (NYC) labels. With an MPC 1000 and some records the music on these albums manages to touch so many influences. From Jazz, House, and Hip-Hop to outer space, his live performances became an extension of the music, experimenting and often improvising with a record player, a kaoss pad and his beats to create a live electronic experience.

From Mexico City, living in Chicago, LEO123 has been crafting slow Hip-Hop infused electronic sounds into original compositions, remixes and collaborations.  As a member of the electronic duo Dark Party and thru his own work, his music has been released by many of the top electronic labels including Ghostly International, Ninja Tune and his current home Old Tacoma Records.  From his start in 2005, he was named one of URB Magazines Next 100 artists to watch. His recently released debut solo EP “Ponies” and  full length as Dark Party “Lightyears” have been featured and applauded  in Pitchfork, XLR8R, Turntable Lab and NPR. As a performer he has been featured at Moog Fest, Avant Mutek, FMEL and SXSW among others, bringing his drum machines and synthesizers along to create a memorable live show for any audience.

Coming together as Lagos the duo experiments with many of their common influences and interests to produce a sound that is expressive and focused. Taking many of their inspirations from 70′s Dub recordings and 80′s house Lagos is a musical collaboration that reflects their individual origins as well as their musical expansion as a musical duo from Chicago, continuing the tradition of great music in one of the world’s greatest cities.

It is curious why Mochipet named his latest Mashup/Remix Album: “10 REASONS TO LOVE HATE DUBSTEP” considering there are 16 tracks on this release and many of them are not even technically considered Dubstep, but what we do know is that it is a collection of hard hitting Remixes from our Godzilla like Beatsmith from the San Francisco Bay Area, some old, some new, some unreleased but all worth checking out. The remixes range from Hip-Hop to Hipster to straight up well.. Def Leppard! Mochipet makes these beats his bitch and you’ll be hard pressed to find one you don’t “Love” or “Hate” or is it a “Love Hate” relationship? Anyways, be sure to check out his rendition of AC/DC’s “Big Balls” and Devo’s Whipit! They will get your mind as well as booty moving in no time!
