If you've been wondering where I've been (which you haven't), I've been locked in a small padded room for the last nine months, subsisting on Four Loko, Captain Crunch and my own delusions of grandeur, making this. The sound is a deliberate throwback to late '90s Electronica, because I am old and this music the kids listen to today, OY VEY! IT HURTS MY EARS WITH THE ALL THE UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ! <br />
<br />
Anyhoo, I hope you dig it...<br />

Sorry for the picture. The only post I could find of this on Soundcloud was by that guy and he apparently thought it was necessary to post his photo along with it in case Justin Bieber was on Souncloud today instead of Grindr... <br />
<br />
And this isn't quite perfect, but it's certainly adequate...<br />

SATAN! SATAN! SATAN!"Satan... <i>that</i> guy. Love him or hate him, you know that if he shows up at the party it's gonna be interesting. He's not just gonna stand in the corner holding up the wall. He's going to summon Hitler up from Hell and have him do 10 minutes of standup about airplane food (which <i>kills</i>, btw)... or he's gonna possess your co-worker from Accounting and have her running around naked, speaking in tongues and a pleasuring herself with your Wii controller (also entertaining if a bit awkward)... or maybe he just gets super high and you all roll into the studio and make some tunes. And that last one is what I think happened with to my man <a href="http://satanscharm.wordpress.com">Sebastian Ciceri</a>... or at least I hope so. Because his new album EEZ ZEE FRUU-EEETS OF ZEE DE-VEEEEEEL! If I was some sort of fancy "music blogger", I might describe the sound as "Post-Rock with healthy doses of Electronica and Jazz", but FRUU-EEETS OF ZEE DE-VEEEEEEL is way more interesting.

Here, the first single, "Jerk Ribs", gets a remix from man of the moment <a href="https://www.facebook.com/benpearcemusic">Ben Pearce</a>. Niceness...<br />
<br />

<br />
But Kelis isn't just into food as song titles... she's a trained chef and she once judged a Quickfire on <i>Top Chef</i>! KELIS THINKS YOUR SCALLOP DISH LACKS ACIDITY! That's something you don't wanna hear...<br />
<br />
(Slick segue in 3... 2... 1...)<br />

Yeah, I might even prefer that to the original, which I quite dig. And I hope YOU dig the latest radio show. It's a way more atmospheric trip than the last few...<br />

How did this hook-up take place? Well, because Nicolay lives in NC now, which, weird, but hey... whatever floats yer boat, dude. As long as you keep making amazing music, it's all good in whatever hood...<br />

So they've been around making dope Deep House for a while... which is probably why they're quite good at it...<br />

I first heard of this guy when he performed with the legendary Lonnie Liston Smith in <a href="http://boilerroom.tv/recording/lonnie-liston-smith-swindle">this live Brownswood X Boiler Room set</a>. Highly recommended. <br />
<br />
Also returning for the New Year... Shuffleupagus Radio, the weekly show that has entertained literally <i>tens</i> of people in it's first three months. Dig the latest...<br />

Let's see if I can beat last year's weak-ass post count. As you can see, I'm off to an amazing start...<br />
<br />

I used to play clarinet, yeah, but that doesn't count and is really gay and embarassing. My good pal <a href="http://sebastianciceribass.wordpress.com">Sebastian Ciceri</a>, however, does have ridiculous talent and can play just about anything. So I lifted a snippet of him playing bass from a YouTube vid he posted and made a song out of it and it doesn't suck at all, which is nice...<br />
<br />

<br />
Another thing that doesn't suck is <a href="http://www.mixcloud.com/Shuffleupagus">Shuffleupagus Radio</a>, mostly because it contains music by pretty much anyone other than me. Here's the last episode of the year...<br />

Apparently, Ninja Tune operative and confirmed Russian <a href="http://www.djvadim.com">DJ Vadim</a> did this whole remix EP without informing me. Which just goes to prove that Russians are dicks. Actually "remix" doesn't even quite describe what he does to these songs, as he's also added vocals from a female singer and a rapper. Interesting...<br />

<br />
If you like this one, all 6 tracks are available for DL. And you can hear the Drop's amazing singer, Joe Dukie, in this week's radio show...<br />

Well, not Batman's totally-not-homosexual sidekick... but this new producer with a debut album out on the mighty Compost label. See what I did there. I'll give you a second for your mind to get un-blown...<br />
...<br />
...<br />
...<br />
... Ok. So, not a lot of info on this guy out there, so let's let the music do the informing. See what I did <i>there</i>? I AM ON FUCKING FIRE TODAY, PEOPLE! Anyhoo, real nice future bass niceness and a free DL...<br />
<br />

<br />
And here's the part where I plug <a href="http://www.mixcloud.com/Shuffleupagus">Shuffleupagus Radio</a>. New episode tomorrow. Don't sleep! Especially if you are at the controls of some heavy machinery...Tonegenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16582952431353497903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13003565.post-28200711827532364052013-11-12T16:24:00.000-08:002013-11-12T16:24:07.882-08:00His Barck is worse than his... never mindOne of the main men in Jazzanova, <a href="http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/alexbarck">Alex Barck</a> is set to release his first solo album, called <i>Reunion</i>. He gave it that name because he recorded on the Island of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9union">Reunion</a>, which is located off Madagascar and for some reason is technically part of France. So that must be amazing for them. I'll bet they totally brag about that at parties... Anyhoo, the whole thing is streaming on Soundcloud right now, and it's a super-deep trip. This one featuring vocals by <a href="https://soundcloud.com/christine-salem">Christine Salem</a> is my favorite, I think...<br />
<br />
<iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/98644967"></iframe><br />
<br />
And that segues rather nicely into the fact that the latest Shuffleupagus episode contains a Jazzanova remix. Boom...<br />

Acoustic. Rocking an Afro/Caribbean Jazz vibe. That's interesting. That's also <a href="http://sonsofkemet.com">Sons Of Kemet</a>, the latest project involving Mr. <a href="http://www.tonegents.blogspot.com/2013/06/who-you-callin-fat-look-at-me-im-skinny.html">Tom Skinner</a>, who's quickly becoming a favorite around here. Now, I should probably give you an original, but this remix, by Brownswood operative <a href="https://twitter.com/alexpatchwork">Alex Patchwork</a> happens to be available for free download. Do I look out for you kids or what? Enjoy the Acoustic Afrobeat Dubstep (you heard me) vibe...<br />

I'm clever!Tonegenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16582952431353497903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13003565.post-51436090103318941042013-10-21T13:19:00.000-07:002013-10-21T13:19:08.884-07:00This. Shit. Cray.Look, I'll be the first to admit that I'd never heard of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Souleyman">Omar Souleyman</a> until learning that my man Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet was producing his new record. I'm probably not alone in that, much like pretty much anyone who's not from Syria. All I know about Syria is that it's not on the top of my list of vacation destinations. I'm probably not alone in that either. But this seemingly bizarre team-up really brings the heat. Hebden doesn't make Souleyman's music a servant to his beats, but rather just gives the songs an oomph that makes you say "Yeah, this is pretty batshit crazy stuff, but you know what? I can <i>get down</i>." Record of the year contender...<br />

And I've been told that Souleyman was the absolute highlight of this summer's FYF fest in LA. So that. Also, this:<br />

It's your weekly love kebab. Don't miss out!Tonegenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16582952431353497903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13003565.post-89320735266600344272013-10-15T11:04:00.000-07:002013-10-15T11:04:54.458-07:00It's The Newwwww Styyyyyyyle!So, in an effort to get more posts in, I'm gonna go with a simplified Soundcloud vibe for a while. As much as I love the format I've kept to on this blog for six years now, the internet powers that be keep making it less easy for me to roll like that. It's like they don't want you to give away their music for free anymore, WTF?!? Plus those old posts took a good long time to put together, what with all the links and HTMLs and hoohahs and geegaws... and I quite frankly just don't have the time for that shit these days. I think the ever-dwindling post count speaks to that. And even though I'm all super-focused-on and vehemently encourage you to get on board with <a href="http://www.mixcloud.com/Shuffleupagus">Shuffleupagus Radio</a>, because it's gonna be fuckin' awesome, I just can't let the original Tonegents page go away completely. So I'm gonna save the traditional randomness for the radio show and redirect Tonegents to hip you to my current obsessions. And here's one now. You're not gonna hear me rave about new Jazz vocalists too often (with the exception of my boy Jose James), but damn... this <a href="http://www.gregoryporter.com/">Gregory Porter</a> cat is the truth. Dig it...<br />
