21 year old (damn I feel old) Alan Palamo aka Neon Indian first began releasing music under the alias Vega. He then started making off-kilter heat under the Neon Indian persona once he realized the music he was making just couldn’t fit into the mold typical of Vega. Some crazy shit to figure all out…I know. It was absolutely imperative that you knew how it all went down. Now that we have that out of the way, check out Neon’s newest single “Sleep Paralysist.” The track was recorded and produced in collaboration with Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear in Brooklyn at Taylor’s elusive musical dungeon, Terrible Studios. This is Neon Indian’s first new offering since the release of Psychic Chasms. The track is full of colorful textures provided by the usual serving of catchy synth tunes and piercing vocals from Palamo. “Don’t sleep.” Highly Recommended

I was lucky to catch up with Chris / Free The Robots for an exclusive interview that provides a glimpse of the new album Ctrl Alt Delete (to be released worldwide March 30, 2010) and a look into the life of a Restaurant, Bar owner / Producer / DJ and IMO one of the most influential artists to come out of Los Angeles’ experimental beat scene.
This is your debut full-length album release. How do you feel right now in anticipation to its release? Excited? Nervous?
I’m very excited about this one. Finally people will actually know the music I’ve been playing live.
Was Ctrl Alt Delete just some random thing you thought should be the album title or is there some crazy deep meaning behind it?
In PCs, Ctrl Alt Delete is the command that overrides the system, which is a metaphor for what it means to free robots. Technically, a robot would be deleting alternate control to be free. Another interesting observation is that there is the same number of letters per word in “Ctrl Alt Delete” as in “Free the Robots.”
(*off the record: this is the stuff you think about on Psychedelic drugs.. I’m just sayin..;)
In your own words, can you describe the album for us, maybe give our audience an idea of what they can expect.
This album is a bit darker and more aggressive than my older works. I took a step back from the classic, sample based, Jazzy-Breakbeat approach, to test myself as a musician. I turned it up a few notches, and added more dirt, more psych sounds, and more bass. About 90% of this record is originally composed from synths and instruments.
How did Free The Robots come about? What’s your vision behind it?
I started this project during a time when I was experimenting with different groups. I was making Hip Hop beats for several MC’s, playing electronic instruments with other bands and DJing full time. Being around so much different music, and having so many interests, I wanted to unite everything together in one project. I took the sample based, Hip Hop, beat approach and blended it with the progressive, melodic, song structure that I learned from playing with bands. Once I built my studio, I knew what was possible, as a soloist, and the ideas kept brewing. I wanted to create a project that, generally, couldn’t be confined by one genre.
Can you fill us in on how you first got into making music?
I started as a DJ in the mid 90s, making 4 track mixtapes, entering battles, and composing scratch routines with my local crew. It was fun times but I got to a point where I wanted to grow even more musically. Digging for records is what really got me interested in different sounds. I started collecting a lot of Jazz, Soul and Psych records, which influenced me to learn music with a more traditional approach. I picked up different instruments and experimented with different bands. When my brother gave me a bootleg copy of Reason is when it really went down. I passed it on to one of my DJ buddies and we spent months learning collectively, different tactics.We shared beat tapes on a monthly basis and, together, developed our own style. About two years into it was when I decided to take it serious. I put out my first batch of 10 songs in 2004 (The Prototype).
Who are your main musical influences?
The music of DJ Shadow, Portishead, and Prefuse 73 is what initially brought the idea of making music into my life, but I’m inspired by all sorts of music. Everything from 60’s Psych, Jazz & Soul from all over the world, to the current Los Angeles beat movement constantly amazes me.
I can’t stop listening to this album. The first thought in my head when I first heard it was…damn, this is music I’ve been waiting to hear for a very long time. Really amazing. I hear elements of various types of music like psyche, funk, jazz, hip hop, electronic, dubstep. Did you already have the idea of how you wanted it to sound or did you basically start playing around with different sounds and instruments and this was what came out? How did it all come together?
I had no idea what this record was going to sound like when I started it. The creation of this album forced me develop myself as a musician, so the sound evolved through the learning process. For the most part, it was all about hours of sound design, recorded improvisation, edits, and reconstruction.
I can also hear a sort of free jazz, improvisational approach? Was that an element that you absolutely had to have in making this album?
A good amount of these songs were based on improvisation. A lot of times I’d start by recording my late night jam sessions. I would take the parts that I liked, and build off them to construct full songs. The jazz element is a part of my roots that I will never let go of. It’s much less obvious in this record then previous ones, but it is there.
You have a track featuring Ikey Owens from Mars Volta / Sublime / Long Beach Dub All Stars / Free Moral Agents. How did that come about and what was it like to work with him?
I’ve been a fan of his work for years, and finally met him at a show we played together. He definitely plays a role in the inspiration for my work, so I figured, why not just get him on it. As large scale it is to for me to work with Owens, it was dope to have such a humble experience.
The session took place in his living room with my laptop, his organs, and two 3” computer speakers on his coffee table. We had to hunch over to even hear what was going on, because the sound of his fingers hitting the keys was louder than what we were hearing out of the speakers. It was ghetto as fuck! He improvised the whole thing in 2 sessions after listening to the track once. That’s talent.
What types of instruments do you play, or equipment do you use to create your music? drum machines? laptop? music programs? Maybe throw in some manufacturer names in there…hint at possible sponsorships to get some cool gear while you’re at it? hahaha.
There’s a lot of room for me to learn but I do play the Keys, Guitar, Bass, Drums and Turntable. To give the full break down of what I use to record: Reason, Ableton Live, Akai MPD32, Midi keys (Axiom), actual keys (Juno-6, Fender Rhodes), synth keys (Korg R3), Technics 1200’s and a Rane.
Besides being known for your production, you’re also known for your DJ skills as well, taking home award for best DJ at the OC Music Awards. what was that like?
To be honest, sort of surprising and weird, considering the general OC DJ circuit. One would think, in the land of the Orange curtain, a Top 40 DJ, or a fashionista, would be chosen. Who woulda thought? Times done changed. People are starting to pay attention.
I’ve seen some crazy clips of you cutting it up with Qbert, The Gas Lamp Killer, and total surprise to me…Nosaj Thing on YouTube BTW. I say scratching needs to make a comeback. what do you think? What’s up with the scratch sessions?
I still cut at home all the time. Not much at clubs, but it’s been a part of me since back in the day. I’m always down for a session!
You’re part owner of the Crosby restaurant / bar / bookstore in Santa Ana. Can you let us know what it’s all about. how you got it started and your motivation behind opening it?
The Crosby is a spot my friends and I created for our selves, in a county that was ready something fresh. Born and raised in this area, we figured it was about time to do something different in the community behind the curtain. When the opportunity presented itself, we took it. Now it’s home base for us, and anyone who’s open enough to understand and appreciate what we have to offer. Everything from the food, the drinks, the music, and overall vibe works together. It’s pretty much the dream spot I always wanted to open up since I was a kid. You’re not gonna find many places where you can enjoy a gourmet dinner and cocktails, while listening to the Wu-Tang Clan and Finders Keepers comps… Switch gears into different nights filled with some of the worlds greatest talent, from the headliners of LA’s beat movement, to hip hop legends like Beat Junkies and such, to even progressive art-punk & psych bands known to run circles at The Smell; all this for free in quite possibly the most intimate setting possible.
It’s amazing that you’re able to run a restaurant/bar, perform, and still have time to work on such great sounding music. How do you manage to balance everything out?
I have a solid team behind everything I do. My Crosby staff is amazing, Alpha Pup’s been great, OBEY, Windish, pretty much everyone I work with is doing it for the love of it, which is what keeps me going.
A lot of people like myself have seen your mind blowing performances at Low End Theory. How did you get involved with that whole scene?
For me, it really started through Willie (The Gaslamp Killer). We actually go back over 10 years ago, before people really paid attention. He was always on some next shit. When Low End started, he asked me to play an opening slot for Prefuse 73, introduced me to the crew and it was on. It was also interesting to find out Nocando, the resident MC, was someone I had worked with back in 03 without even meeting the guy. Met him for the first time that night. (First show: Dec, 2006)
How did linking up with Alpha Pup Records come about?
It’s definitely taking the independent music scene by storm right now with heavy releases from Nosaj Thing, Nocando, and quality music coming from its growing family of imprint labels such as Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder, Daedelus’ Magical Properties, Matthew David’s Leaving Records. How does it feel to be part of such an influential family of artists?
After my first live performance at The Low End Theory, I became a regular at The Club. A few more performances later, Kev He hit me up for some current music. we signed the deal and 2 years later, CTRL ALT DELETE was created.
Tell you the truth, I’m still in geek mode. Friends, peers, whatever… I am still a huge fan of them. I think every ones a fan of each other. There’s a great synergy between this group of artists, that keeps me humble and inspired.
If you had never gotten into making music…what would you see yourself doing instead?
I’d probably be a professional gamer.
What’s in store for the future of Free The Robots? Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I’m planning on a few collabs right now for some different concept projects TBA. One thing don’t want to do is make the same album twice. In 5 years, hopefully 5 more albums deep.
Our mission here is to promote quality independent music. Can you let everyone here know of 5 break out artists that you feel everyone should go check out? Feel free to mention more than 5 if you need to.

The Archie Bronson Outfit has released their newest full length entitled Coconut. It’s their first release in 4 years and their 3rd for Domino Records. Listen to the track Shark’s Tooth to get a small preview of what the album offers. The track will get you moving with its stunning display of distorted drums, vocals, guitar? The good kind of distortion. The highly effected vocals will make your head spin. The album itself offers a blazing and empowering sound off psychadelic goodness. Highly Recommended

Earlier this week it was announced that Bonobo would be providing the production for Andreya Triana’s album. Prepare for a one two punch with his own album being released on March 29, 2010 through Ninja Tune. Included are two tracks as a preview of what’s to come. Andreya’s vocals once again shine through energizing 2 step drum patterns floating atop smooth low end bass lines glued together by discrete pulsating synth filters. Included with this amazing production is a remix contributed by Warrior One. The energy level suddenly increases ten fold as a slow filtered synth line balances out the rhythm section. When the bass hits it’s all over. I can just imagine the ensuing chaos as a result of all the insanity. Highly Recommended

I just can’t get over the rawness of this album. Referencing back to previous GLK productions I can say with confidence that it has that signature Gas Lamp Killer sound written all over it. The blaring soulful vocals of Gonjasufi matched with his poetic lyricism haunts this record and speaks volumes into the beyond. This is Gonjasufi right here, in his purest form displayed for all to experience. Once you hear his voice and his words, your life will never be the same again. It has a timeless feel as you take a journey into the depths of each song you get a sense of being trapped in an existence where past, present, and future are one and there is nothing caught in between except you and the music. The album which also features productions from Flying Lotus and Mainframe is set to be released on March 9th through Warp Records. Highly Recommended

His music is a dizzying display of playful electronics. It’s so ridiculously good that you just have to laugh. Yeah, it’s that sick. Sick as in dope as in amazing. What I like most about Qua’s music is the child like innocence that it brings. There’s no sign of ego, showmanship, or signs of biting at all. It just is what it is…pure dopeness. I’m listening to the album as I type this and I feel like tossing this aside and busting some backflips off a skateboard while hanging on to a moving car going at the average speed of 88 mph (weaving through traffic on the 101/110 interchange of course). If you’re not too familiar with his music, he’s currently at the forefront of Melbourne Australia’s electronic music scene and has toured with the likes of Ratatat, Caribou, Four Tet, Clue To Kalo and Trioski. Q&A is a is a collection of twelve compositions brushed with strokes of guitar and electronics on a canvas of drums provided by James Cecil (Architecture in Helsinki) and Laurence Pike (Savath + Savalas, Pivot, Triosk). I predict you’ll be listening to this album non-stop on repeat for a VERY long time. Highly Recommended
I’ve really been digging Dem Hunger’s sounds lately. I can best describe the music as a flowing movement of manipulated looping sound textures with plenty of snap crack and pop…the good kind. In fewer words imagine psyched out, mangled, Dilla inspired beats . Make way for his album to be released world wide on Feb. 23, 2010 through major digital services. The record will be appearing on matthewdavid’s Leaving Records. You can pre-order a limited edition cassette version…yes I said cassette… with art booklet on Leaving’s website. Highly Recommended

Once the first track on this EP hit I was hooked. The more I listened the more I began to believe at any moment my entire world and understanding of music could turn upside down. How can anything sound THIS good? It shouldn’t come as a surprise to myself or anyone after the release of Son Lux’s critically acclaimed debut album At War With Walls & Mazes. The EP was born from a set of inspired productions by Anticon artists Alias and Polyphonic, plus seasoned composer Nico Muhly and they all refer back to a single point of origin – “Weapons.” Strikingly beautiful electronic progressions and melodies, classically inspired compositions, haunting vocals, all mixed and engineered with intricate detail. Dubstep inspired bass lines and highly compressed Hip Hop inspired drums holds everything in this EP together perfectly. Highly Recommended.

Intuition recently blew heads off at Low End Theory Los Angeles where hoards of hip hop fans were treated to the classic sound of dusty groove sampled beats laced with a barrage of prophetic rhyme poetry. It’s the type of sound I tend to appreciate in midst of all the wobbling bass lines and laser sound inspired electronics. Yesterday his sophomore album Girls Like Me was released world wide in digital formats through Nocando’s new imprint Hellfyre Club joining Daddy Kev’s growing Alpha Pup family which includes the likes of Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder, Daedelus’ Magical Properties, matthewdavid’s Leaving Records, and Brian Simon’s Non Projects. The entire album is SOLID and features guest appearances by Nocando, Slug, Travis Brown, Raquel Rodriguez, and Ex-I. I don’t say this often but hear this….this is some real hip hop shit right here. I didn’t even hit the skip track button at all on this one. Highly Recommended.
