Touring is a solitary business for the most part. Into one city and the next thing you know you are looking at it in the rearview mirror traveling to the next. Thoughts happen; like what if this and this and this all went together and had sex, remix sex. This is an EXPLICIT song, full of fucks and sillinesses, made out with quickly, I'd like to think expertly done, but likely not. Just a mess, and I'm happy to present it to you.

Would You Mind (Daedelus' Pacific Explicitly)

I was going to call it Remix of Everything, but I've already a song so entitled. Instead this is a kind of winter's mashing, a slow burner, a late bloomer. See if you can quote all the songs employed in this adjustment.

Winter Solstice 4 2

Another from the Nidhogg soundtrack. It's nice when an opportunity provides an excuse to try on other styles, but I'm also smiling when I can find a way through the labyrinth including some of where I've been. Clouds, I believe does just that in harkening back to my previous albums a bit. 

This song and all the others from the OST come with the game when you purchase.

Get Nidhogg

Clouds

Last year I fell head over heels hard for the original, the band is Alpine from Australia, and although they don't have mountains enough to have an alpine forest it all makes sense in their sound. I was driven to paint broadly across their song's perfect veneer with my kind of crude coloring markers. Please enjoy.

Multiplication (Daedelus' the sum, the sun remix)

from the album Invention, later used to make Madvillian's Accordion. I just felt it like sharing it here today.

Sounds of Symmetry, Vol. 1

An Armada Approaches (Cruise from Here to the Afterlife Remix, conducted by the James Pants Sea Faring Orchestra)

Track 3 from Xenopocene featuring Vivek Menon. An album inspired by my time as artist-in-residence with S.E.T.I. (the search for extraterrestrial intelligence). Day 1 hints at what happens right after first contact!

A Considered Reply - Day 1

The Breathing Effect (forthcoming Alphapup artists) bring their vision to Los Angeles' Beat Scene with their Jazz infused creations. This is their gorgeous cover of The Light Brigade's Baba Yaga.

Baba Yaga (Breathing Effect Cover)

Mono/Poly takes the elegiac Onward from my recent LP "The Light Brigade" and pulses, pushes, and pulls it forward. Find his "Golden Skies" also recently released on Brainfeeder.

Lotus Flower Bomb (Daedelus Pacific)

At shows I'd play these two in combination, and then some of you'd request the track, which of course there was none just a live fidget of the parts. However in honor of Low End Theory Festival this weekend I thought I'd release a record of, with extra flourishes in the beginning. Please enjoy this little something.

Yonkers/Bowser (Daedelus Built)

From the Flywrench soundtrack. The prompt was uptempo breaks to underscore the twists and turns needed in game. I'm so honored to have assembled an incredible collection of artists that took on this challenge with aplomb. Included a link to iTunes, but you can find the music now through any digital service. Onwards and upwards!

Speeds

Such a fan of Floating Points' treatment of Milosh and my song, as remixed from 2011's Bespoke. I feel like it should be with you in these days, perhaps to sooth what harshes your mellows.

Tailor - Made (Floating Points Remix)

Turn over the hourglass and get going was the self-assignment. Not letting this Monday get away without some music in your sails. I hope you like the complications and the harmony, maybe don't stand still, better that way.

With a gloved style all his own Omniboi has transformed Special Re: Quest into soaring, sailing, uplifting, and alighting! Almost a month now since Labyrinths was released, still surprises around every corner.

Just yesterday the video premiered for the original over at Noisey.

Special Re: Quest - Omniboi Remix

Righteous Fists of Harmony

Order of the Golden Dawn

I'm not timely with this mix. It is long after the rap's been spit, yet how can you not try to wrestle with the words and see if they might be purposed to today? Speed and plosives here. Mid deranged kicks and distorted toms. Lots of little moments as I try to better my craft.

Fun fact. In high school I was in a jazz quartet called "Tres Gatos" (a name that never made sense) with Terrace Martin who kept playing incredible saxophone and features all over's Kendrick's albums. Hearing his output over the years has been an inspiration.

Alright (Daedelus' Werk)

Baker's Dozen: Daedelus

Know What You'd Like

A sort of chopped and screwed remix, which I'm calling an adjustment of Aphex Twin's classic "Heliosphan" from Selected Ambient Works 85-92. I'm putting up a series of these adjustments in honor of the kind 50,000 followers who have taken a moment on soundcloud to listen. Thank you!

Heliosphan (Daedelus' Adjustment)

Cobbled from recordings of raves circa '92 Wears House is both a mixtape and 14 revisionist originals. Capulet is filter-house through the looking glass of hoover subs and black lights. Please enjoy the moves.

Wears House

Capulet

Amazing what you'll find when the rabbit just bounding away, late for a very different party than you'd thought you'd ever attend.

Add this to my Pacific series of adjacent and nearby, always with a tempo.

Nobody (Daedelus' Pacific)

Invention

Inspired by the sounds coming from Chicago's Dance Mania records and similar uptempo house from the late 90s. Hot Music is actually a New York anthem, also counted as a seminal track for London's Jazz Step, and just dares to be stepped to. I hope you enjoy the theatrics involved, and maybe a 'work or two.

From a series of Pacific remixes taking sounds out of context.

Hot Music (Daedelus' Pacific)

Silliness's Sake. From Los Angeles with Love. A little cursing - but cribbed from a good source, if you must. This one is not romantic... 

Ain't No Juke

Whack World was a revelation for an artist in the midst of definition and yet presented fully born. This is me trying to apply techniques which you can hear throughout the Pacific series (all remixes, taken out of their bpm, and set adrift). Dr. Seuss was made originally for my Patreon, but happy to share here today, because it's the mood.

Dr. Seuss (Daedelus' Pacific Meander)

Tokimonsta (Brainfeeder) remix of Tailor-made Our Way featuring Milosh. Really chill vibe to this remix, yet enough bite and unique ideas to make it a winner. New version on 1/5/11 with corrected vocals

Tailor-Made (Tokimonsta remix)

Thought for your weekend, perhaps you'd like to dance? A live set from last year, March 29th 2012. Sounds have changed so much since, but the template of a wide ranging set, lively recorded. Found originally over at

Live at PRIME

A favorite from Daft Punk's recent "Random Access Memory" which I've chopped into tiny pieces and carefully glued back together along with macaroni, glitter, and footwork.
