things you should know about, now, musically

#1: mike shannon f. anais + more --> possible conclusions to stories that never end - lp - scape records, germany

if i really have to call this something besides good music, it gets hard. some people are calling this mike shannon's "experimental" or "downtempo" lp. i guess given that he's better known for more driving/gritty/dirty techno (or so i hear, haven't actually heard much/any of it), i guess that label might make sense.

what i do know is that this is a labour of love, sweat, tears, and excess stomach acid, involving mike shannon and a few other people, including one of my favorite people in the whole world. it's kinda breaky/glitchy/downtempo/jazzy/interesting music. more details here

#2 - black market & subtrac present dillinja & lemon d (valve) + skream (tempa) @ wallace studios 258 wallace ave

friends of mine that know bass are doing this. wallace studios, from what i hear, bears a slight reslemblance to a concrete room underground with lots of bass. dillinja and lemon d are drum'n'bass artists/producers with a fine appreciation of bass, skream is a dubstep guy. i don't know about you, but i'm excited about a concrete room undergroun full of bass with some serious badman flexing in a drum'n'bass and dubstep style. if that sounds good to you don't miss it. and bring your earplugs.
