I Don’t Speak For My Church by Nomadic Firs

The Star From Nomadica by Nomadic Firs

“The Nomadic Firs bring psychedelics in a multitude of ways” ~ Painter S. Bride

Originally finding his musical inspiration through turntables in 2001, Ryan Boos started the Reggae Sound System,which pushed donation based, crowd participation events. From there his production company A&B Society started doing house/techno events and curated multiple residencies in Michigan.

Now living in Tennessee, Ryan has spent the last few years in a private studio coming up with the Nomadic Firs original material.

The Nomadic Firs are quietly working on their first album.

Just a tiny bit of self promotion…

I’ll admit it… I enjoy Christmas music. Not all of it, but there’s just something about trashing around the snowy roads of Michigan in a good ol’ American automobile to the pleasant tunes of the holiday season. It really boosts my Christmas spirit. So, in addition to torturing yourself to family television programming for the 25 Days of Christmas, why not snag some free X-Mas music to accompany you on your own winter travels? As luck has it, Amazon MP3 is giving away a new, free holiday song each day in December leading up to Christmas on the 25th. They’re keeping the content pretty fresh and relevant by featuring new artists with original tracks as well as renditions of classic favorites. Take advantage and look back each day for the new free holiday track. Come on… it’s the only time of year where being cheesy is really okay.

twilight_frequencies Podcast 007 comes in the form of a live set from Kero (DjKero.com). With over 13 releases on some of electronic music’s most celebrated and innovative labels such as Bpitch, Ghostly International, Shitkatapult, Downwards and his own critically acclaimed Detroit Underground Records, Kero (nee Sohail Azad), has established a reputation for his unrepentantly brash, yet cultivated compositions and unforgettable live performances. Most recently, his live performances have been alongside notables such as Speedy J, Ken Ishii and Funkstorung. Kero has also established himself as a leader within a growing pack of electronic music producers successfully infiltrating contemporary art circles world wide.

His innovative approach to music, graphic design and video production feeds on the detritus of popular electronic culture, creating a montage of fleeting musical and visual experiences that are paradoxically critical and enamored with contemporary culture.

Drawing on his experiences as a dual citizen of both Canada and the United States, Kero conducts visual and aural investigations that are concerned with ideas of the diametric and intermediary. Subsequently, the ephemeral nature of electronic culture, the “rave” experience and aesthetics offers a microcosm to explore similar elements in popular culture. The result is music that blurs genres from hip-hop to the most rarified of techno experiments, video art which stirs faint recollections of print and televised media, and a design language that has ingrained itself upon the most celebrated electro-cultural market in the world.

twilight_frequencies Podcast 006 by Adam Stolz. Cornbredbeats Volume One.

Adam Stolz is an active Dj in the city which he currently resides, Chicago, IL. He has upcoming releases on both Prosthetic Pressings (Chicago/DC) and Black Nation (Kalamazoo/Munich/Miami). Adam has some history with the main contributors of Twilight Frequencies. We all matured (I use that loosely) together during the ‘golden age’ of the electronic music party scene. We were strategically scattered between two major birth places of electronic music, Detroit and Chicago… spending many a long nights and early mornings capturing every last bit of sound and inspiration we could physically handle. We moved on to promoting and Djing events to indulge our love for music and soon began investing time into music production as well. We all grew independently from there, each taking a different path yet still bound by our affection for music and the emotions it provokes. We’ve all remained friends and it has been a joy to experience Adam’s growth as an amazing Dj and artist. I see great things on the horizon.

An event not to miss: Saturday August 21st, Adam Stolz will be opening for Alex Bau at The Smartbar in Chicago. Presented by Prosthetic Pressings.

Words from Adam Stolz:

“Lately, as I’ve reflected on the past, I’ve begun to see things in so many cycles. Friends from the past have come back into focus in my life and I see how well and how great everyone is doing. It’s inspiring to feed off all my friends, especially when everyone is positive and supporting the next man’s venture. Plus it also helps that every single one of my friends is a fucking music snob, and will call out a whack beat faster than you can say “Shoes in the Dryer”.  We have all contributed to each others musical tastes, it’s been an awesome ride and it still continues to be.

Speaking of friends I want to give a enormous shout out and THANK YOU to Twilight Frequencies. You guys are awesome. Thank you for letting me be a part of this. We all go way back and I have seen you guys develop pretty heavily as artists and professionals (and vice versa), but no more moving Cerwin Vega bins around long concrete floors or going to jail for noise violations while your boys still look over your place with 100 slightly tilted people. Ah Good Times, but, we did it because we loved the music. Just the same as we do today!

Cornbredbeats

Whether growing up in Detroit or Chicago you don’t have to drive far to see a corn field, it’s funny to think that as soon as you leave the city….BAM! It’s sometimes never ending, I mean shit, have you driven through Iowa. Jesus! Sorry Iowa, it is seriously nothing personal.  I love ya, I really do, I have some friends from Iowa, so we’re cool. Anyway sorry.. corn… like I said. It feeds us, keeps us warm, gives us energy…and it’s even used to convey messages. One could say, that the Rural/Urban (lets call it ‘Ruralban’) societies based around these Midwest cities plays an integral part in the development of (the soul of) music since the beginning of the 20th century. It’s that soul you feel in a great house track. You can’t explain it. You can only feel it. And that is the best part. I love music that comes from the ground up! As it’s trying to move you.

So, by this point, you should be laughing. Seriously, that’s the idea. Why do something fun, that I love, and not have a sense of humor about it? It’s an escape. But!!!! not posing ‘Sven Vath’ style on a magazine cover painted up like KISS. We don’t necessarily need to have that much fun.

Cornbredbeats is a funny name and sounds weird saying it, but it has YET to NOT resonate with any one of my friends who hear about it. Come on, it’s pretty hilarious to think about the relationship of root house/techno culture so close to this boring, flat, cold, and yet somehow amazingly fertile soil.  So yes, to some funny degree: corn bred beats.

And with that… volume one.

Enjoy.”

Detroit based DJ Corbin Davis first launched himself into the electronic music industry in 1996 when he purchased his first set of decks and a drum machine. He emerged onto the scene in 1998 playing a diverse blend of techno that has fostered a strong local following. Corbin has played countless venues and parties including classic Detroit mainstays: The Packard Plant, The Works, The Motor Lounge, The Majestic Theatre and Mack and Bellevue. He has played alongside the likes of Ben Sims, Mark Verbos, Adam X, Terry Mullen, Woody Mcbride, Phono, Adam Beyer, Mark Broom, Tim Xavier, Richard Devine, Otto Van Scharch and Jimmer Edger.

Most recently Corbin has been working closely with Nick Bien and Chad Parraghi (Project 313) on the newly formed imprint Blank Code; a label created to spotlight the newest techno producers from Detroit and around the Globe.

Variety has always been the key to Corbin’s fresh and interesting sets and this one is no different: a glitch set with chilled out valleys, clicky peeks and a deep, rolling countryside.
