“I Felt Fuzzy” EP Out Now / video / launch event

kelpe — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 23:08:30 +0000

A few things to mention in this post, all surrounding my new EP on Svetlana Industries….

New EP “I Felt Fuzzy” is out now on vinyl and digital via Svetlana Industries. Read a nice review on XLR8R, then maybe go to Boomkat, Bleep or Bandcamp to make the purchase – the digital edition includes Cupp Cave and Naïve Machine remixes, and the vinyl features a bonus rework from Rush Hour’s BNJMN . A free track from the EP is available here on Mixmag and there’s also a free 43 minute mix for download on Sonic Router, along with a review and interview.

You can preview the full EP here on Earmilk or listen to the sampler below.

Also, we got this nice video made by Jonathan Lieb:

And then, if you’re in London come down to the launch party on the 8th of May – the flyer gives you all the details and links through to a facebook event page that will keep you up to date. There is no charge for entry.

Had the pleasure of playing at Vienna’s magnificent Sound:frame festival a couple of weeks back. The festival had an expansive line-up extending over several days, and the night I played at featured Taylor McFerrin, Comfort Fit and a Svetlana Industries Showcase which consisted of me, Nightwave, 1000names and Thunderloops. Here’s a few pics:

kelpe — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 14:51:56 +0000

Boiler Room are now streaming upcoming EP title track “I Felt Fuzzy”, which means that you can now see some artwork by Rimrimrim, (also above).

Below is their stream and also a stream of Naive Machine’s remix of the same track. The EP will be out on vinyl on 16th April, and digitally on the 24th on Svetlana Industries. As well as the Naive Machine remix, there’s a remix by Cupp Cave (Ramp Recordings / Vlek Record) and a vinyl only remix by BNJMN.

kelpe — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 11:15:06 +0000

Here’s 2 new remixes for the artists Soosh and Pierce Warnecke on the dutch label Fremdtunes (who I released Chocolate Money EP with in 2010).

First, “Speechless” by Soosh, which will be out on an EP “SoFar” on 19th March with additional remixes by Greenwood Sharps + Jameszoo + Sekuoia.

And this, for Pierce Warnecke’s “The Machine Regrets” which came out a couple of weeks ago.

Enjoy,

Hi,

A new Kelpe EP will be released soon on Svetlana Industries entitled “I Felt Fuzzy EP” – a 6 tracker including some nice remixes from some good people. For now, here is a 128k stream of the title track:

SONOTOWN PARIS / GDANSK AND LUZERN

kelpe — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 14:06:42 +0000

I should have posted this last week as it was meant as promotion for the gig I just did in Paris but I didn’t get round to it. Sonotown asked me for an exclusive podcast to promote the gig I played for them with Slugabed at New Morning Paris on the 21st Oct. The mix features new exclusives from Huess, 1000names and myself, and some new releases from ARP.101, Jonti eLan, etc. Click here to check the podcast – you can stream or download. Incidentally the New Morning venue was great and we had a ball playing there.

This weekend we are playing in Poland (Friday – w/ Young Montana) and Switzerland (Saturday – w/ Paris Suit Yourself etc) and since both events have video flyers made for them, I’m going to let them do the talking:

Also here is a little excerpt on Soundcloud, a rework of the track “Goldfishing” from Chocolate Money EP:

COLD WATER SIGN LANGUAGE – A KELPE MEGAMIX BY BUDDY PEACE

kelpe — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 11:38:10 +0000

One of my all time favourite DJ’s Buddy Peace has put together a 24 megamix of my back catalogue, and entitled it “Cold Water Sign Language”. The mix will be available as a free download later this month (yup, it’s September already) but to give you a feel, here is a video teaser for the mix. I’ll put download links up here when ready, soon!

SATTA OUTSIDE / ALTERNATIVE MUSIC AND ARTS SUMMIT

kelpe — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 11:29:26 +0000

Before it becomes a distant memory I just wanted to give a shout out about the SATTA Outside Festival that went on in Lithuania in the middle of August this year. It’s the second time I’ve played at the festival and I’ve also played at SATTA Inside in Vilnius. The first time I played I wasn’t able to take my drummer as he broke his foot playing table tennis, but this time he was able to come along to play. The festival had pretty much tripled in size (in a good way) since I played there in 2009, and we played to a packed out open air arena (an ex communist lecture theatre) to 2500 enthusiastic Lithuanians. Below is a couple pics of our show and a clip I filmed of Gaslamp Killer playing on the same stage. Also on the line-up amongst others was Mike Slott, Machinedrum, Paul White & Mo Kolours, Brokenchord, dEbruit, 100names, fLako, Robot Koch, Ghostpoet, Loops Haunt, Young Montana?, Montgomery Clunk and loads more. To conclude, its well worth making the journey to get this festival; if you’re into that kind of music it’s really one of a kind.
