Daedelus – “Curtains Don’t Talk”

Chief — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 15:00:20 +0000

Big sounds are coming out of Daedelus with “Curtains Don’t Talk” and he’s giving it away for free through Mixmag. Be sure to check him on tour this spring.

Slugabed – “Sex”

Chief — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 15:00:44 +0000

“Sex” is future funk at its finest, putting big weight behind Slugabed‘s forthcoming debut on Ninja Tune. Download the track for free on Mixmag.

Slugabed – “Sex” (Daedelus Remix)

Chief — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 16:00:15 +0000

Daedelus warps Slugabed‘s “Sex” with transposed drum samples and loads of reverb, referencing the chiller sounds of 2009 as he explores the sonic depths of the original. It’s something that would have fit right in on Righteous Fists Of Harmony, and only Daedelus could properly rework what the label described to us as “deep feelings about mostly inexpressible things”. You can preview and pre-order Time Team on Ninja Tune‘s website before it’s out on May 7.

Sounds of Summer II: Chief & Crimson

Chief — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 17:14:01 +0000

This has been a good year for Dipped in Dollars. From getting a mention in the Guardian, previewing Jai Paul‘s album in XL’s New York office, interviewing artists like Gilles Peterson, Jensen Sportag and Onra to premiering exclusive mixes by Solar Bears, Teams, and Streets Of Beige, our second year has been filled with lots of fun. Hopefully we’ve been able to influence a few record purchases as well. There already are some big things in store for our third year, and Crimson and I have also made mixes to thank you all for the good times.

Daedelus – “Sew, Darn, Mend”

Chief — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 06:11:33 +0000

The man behind one of my all time favorite albums released another LP through Ninja Tune yesterday, and Sew, Darn, Mend is one of my favorite cuts from the record. The track euphorically unfolds around a single melody, showcasing Daedelus‘ ability to create exceptional music. Purchase a copy for yourself and check it out.

Chief — Sun, 12 Dec 2010 18:19:57 +0000

This would have been my top remix of 2k9 if I had been aware of its existence.

My Dry Wet Mess – “Etcetera”

Danger — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 18:49:18 +0000

So we received another gem from My Dry Wet Mess, and I am getting pulled more and more into his music. Seems like everything I’m listening to these days has this almost glitchy sound, but MDWM definitely takes it to an upbeat place. His debut LP was released yesterday on Daedelus‘ label Magical Properties. So go on and grab it while it’s hot!

TOUR: Daedelus & The Gaslamp Killer

Danger — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 20:31:24 +0000

We just received notice of DID favorite Daedelus going on tour with The Gaslamp Killer. The performances are sure to be epic as they’ll be joined on various dates by Samiyam, 12th Planet, Free the Robots and Teebs. You can be sure I’ll be at the DC show come November, for specifics on your city, here are the deets:

Atari Blitzkrieg – “The Maturation of Nothingness” (prod. by Daedelus)

Chief — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 05:40:18 +0000

DC MC Atari Blitzkrieg just sent over this un-mastered version of a track he did with must listen favorite Daedelus. This track is still a little rough around the edges, but I’m loving the 8-bit Daedelus beat, and Atari‘s flow is fucking strong. I can’t wait to hear the mastered version of this piece. You’ve got to go see this guy live if you’re in the DC area.
