Heya, here are a few music-related updates I have... 🥏 I’ll be heading back east this week to see family, record with the Geo Rippas, and play a show with one of my oldest friends, Leland Jackson @mellowdeg . My time in Baltimore will be brief, so please come through if you can. I’d love to see you. ⚖️ I’ve been a longtime listener and fan of the Libra Mix series. So, needless to say, I was more than happy to contribute. The mix itself is pretty playful and jammy. I made it while poking around some of the Puli & Apiento sessions we’ve been cooking up, so it’s sort of in that headspace, whatever that means. Thanks again for the invite @cz__wang 🌵 Next month, I’ll be playing live at Gradient Campout in the Johnson Valley Desert. Can’t wait for this one :D @gradientcampout

We’re very pleased to announce the next record on Cinnamon Disc. Crespi Drum Syndicate - Colada Talk (CD-002) Preorders are now up on Bandcamp, along with the first two singles, “Tropichomp” and “Boubow.” 12” LP Edition of 200 Full release available March 6th Shops and distro 📝 🥁🌴🛢️🌅🪘🦎 “A mutant beat manifesto from Miami luminaries Jonathan Trujillo (Jonny from Space) and Pablo Arrangoiz (El Gusano, DJ Fitness, Baüzer Vep), Crespi Drum Syndicate’s Colada Talk follows the duo’s debut on Sonido Isla with a freshly freaked collection of percussive oddities. Rooted in foundational clave rhythms and avant-garde experimentation, Crespi Drum Syndicate’s singular electro-acoustic vision emerges from the amphibious underbelly of Miami’s Latin-infused club scene. Extensive live recording sessions, free improvisation, and a ritualistic studio practice — Countless hours spent twisting and rearranging sounds from found objects and Buchla modular systems — coalesce into new rhythmic forms. Atonal saxophone, bass clarinet, and slide whistle further expand upon Trujillo and Arrangoiz’s ever-evolving sonic palette, while NYC’s AceMo lends a hand on the heavily syncopated “Siu,” and closer “Boubow” might be the duo’s most hook-driven production to date, with its mangled pop vocal and lewd drum-line bounce. Landing somewhere between Steve Reich’s polyrhythmic “Six Marimbas,” Moebius & Plank’s industrial Krautrock sessions, and Ricardo Villalobos’ hypnotic techno minimalism, Colada Talk delivers on a world of subtropical rhythmic futurism and experimental body music that’s as heady as it is culo-shaking. - Phil Cho @pheeels Art direction by @alicate0098 Mastered by @jakeviator.wav

I’m posting to mention I’ve started a quaint music label called Cinnamon Disc. I first released a record of mine around this time last year, sort of as a trial run, and now the next release is on deck, and it’s a doozy. The record is by one of my favorite duos out there, and I’m very much looking forward to sharing. Please like and subscribe @cinnamon_disc Logo/Type by @reid.duncn

I recently contributed a track to Dummy’s remix album Bubbelibrium DLC. Go check out the whole release, it’s quite nice. 🫧 I first met guitarist/vocalist Nathan O’Dell back in high school when our bands would cross paths at a venue in Waldorf MD called My Brothers Place. I’m assuming this was both of our introductions to what it meant to be part of a “scene”.. Remaining in a similar orbit 20+ years on while still poking at music is a special/peculiar thing… Dummy’s a great band and if you haven’t seen them live yet, I strongly suggest that you do. Thanks for the invite @notdummy
