WE can’t be more pleased to have scored an interview with Daedelus. While I would describe him and his masterful techniques myself, I think this bit of pressy goodness, does it up quite nicely:

Daedelus, the Victorian-clad electronic maestro who has released with labels like Ninja Tune, Mush, Plug Research, Friends of Friends, Alpha Pup, and many more with one lined up for Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder AND beginning his own Magical Properties label in 2010.  Performing with his infamous Monome(unique electronic trigger), electronic music is rarely as invigerating and exciting, so don’t miss out!

The interview is below this foto:

Bocumast:
If you could have dinner with one artist, dead or alive, who would it be?
and perhaps where?
Daedelus:
My wife, Laura Darlington, at one of Los Angeles awesome eateries,
because I miss her and tour perhaps a wee bit too much.
Bocumast:
If you could collaborate with one electronic artist, who?
Daedelus:
I’ve been lucky thus far in good collabs, I am feeling the work of
Zomby, but hear he is a difficult person to get a hold of. Let’s just
say Raymond Scott (who’s dead, but you asked, how insensitive!)
Bocumast:
What goes into a live performance?
Daedelus:
From my recent gigs apparently it is sweat. The kind of riled up
headnod bass heavy tempo perspiration that tends to soak through nice
clothes. Oh and electronics are my friend.
Bocumast:
Please elaborate on the LA electronic scene. Any up and comers you are
excited about?
Daedelus:
I could list half of the cities scene that I am excited about, so much
goodness from all upstarts, but let’s just say Samiyam, Teebs, Baths,
Jogger, and Matthew David. 5 to look out for, and hordes more on the
way…
Bocumast:
Frozen soup or melted ice cream?
Daedelus:
Ha, one of my favorite meals all time was in a Parisian restaurant
where I had Tomato Gazpacho (cold soup) with a scoop of Pistachio ice
cream in the middle. Delicious.
Bocumast:
Website you frequent the most?
Daedelus:
No joke, Cuteoverload.com I like cats!
Bocumast:
7. You’re at a party with Steven Tyler, Alec Baldwin, and Cher. Steven and
Alec start to get into a tussle. You:
a. take their keys because they have clearly had enough to drink
b. ask Cher to make waffles with you in the kitchen.
c. put down the wii remote and slowly back away….back away.
d. all of the above.
Daedelus:
Alec Baldwin gets the pass because of his excellent 30 Rock work, the
rest, well let’s just say Steven and Cher aren’t high on the get out
of jail free list for their past crimes against humanity. So E. Ninja
powder Alec out of there and let the others disappear into the ether
from which they came.
Bocumast:
8. You receive a life sized jello-mold version of yourself for your
birthday. You:
a. have it bronzed.
b. invite 27 of your closest friends over to help you enjoy it
c. take a bath with it
d. donate it to Haiti earthquake relief.
Daedelus:
Now you are being just silly. That amount of cow hooves is disgusting.
Bocumast:
Finish this sentence: In the future______________________________.
Daedelus:
it’ll be so bright that sunglasses will be forced to wear shades.
Bocumast:
Something you collect?
Daedelus:
I have voracious appetites for all kind of ephemera, vinyl, Victorian
clothes, and musical instruments. But mostly it’s good people, they
are hard to find, but everyone a treasure beyond monetary measure.
Bocumast:
Thank You, Daedelus. Good luck with the tour!

The Marvelous Tom Murphy tells us one of the best parts about this Friday night:
“The burbling expansiveness at the heart of this band’s soundscaping probably gives the impression that the music is all whimsical playfulness and wandering noise-collage melodies. With Ryan McRyhew of BDRMPPL as one of the minds behind the project, it could be enjoyed for the beauty of the songs, but with him and his equally crafty and clever wife, Kristi, involved, there was bound to be something a little different about Hideous Men (due on Friday, February 5, at Rhinoceropolis)….”
