Daedelus and Jogger - Friends of Friends Vol. 1

The concept in short for our inaugural release is FoF invites an artist to join the FoF family by signing on to do a split EP; they in turn invite another musician or group to complete the split release and commission a designer to create the EP’s artwork on a limited edition T-Shirt which will include a download card(100% seed paper card; Included will be the release, exclusive remixes and special content: ie videos, mixes etc).

For the first in the Friends of Friends series, FoF has invited a great friend and HERO of ours: Santa Monica based electronic genius Alfred “Daedelus” Darlington whom you may know from his solo work on labels such as Ninja Tune, Mush, Plug Research and more or even more recently with his wife as The Long Lost (also on Ninja Tune). With the power to choose his cohorts, Daedelus has brought in homies Jogger; Amir Yaghmai and Jonathan Larroquette for their first EVER release! Not only did Alfred attend High School with Amir but the duo are the active live band members of Alfred’s The Long Lost project with wife Laura as well as collaborators on his ‘Exquisite Corpse” release. He’s also managed to bless us with the INCREDIBLE husband and wife art duo Kozyndan for the cover art/t-shirt design. They all 5 are truly friends and we’re happy to now call them ours!

The fans receive a beautiful, 100% organic-shirt printed on Alternative Apparel’s “Alternative Earth” shirts and the album with bonus material all in one swoop. The album will also be available through all digital retail outlets separately…

This is a pretty great release

1. Daedelus - C’est Super

2. Daedelus - LA Nocturn

3. Daedelus - Off to the Races

4. Jogger - Nice Tights

5. Jogger - Litre o’ Cola

6. Jogger - Nephicide

I enjoy this release.

not a single person has listened to this release? It's pretty awesome. You guys should.. =/

Yes it's very good Daedelus...a lot better than love to make music to i think

LA Nocturn is fantastic

seriously though, I recommend this release

waaah I totally missed this. Daedelus - Invention is fuckin brilliant.

So...can you stream it somewhere?

This is a pretty good release alright, for as much as I love daedelus, love to make music to was a big disapointment - his tracks here seem to make up for it quite a bit, almost daedelus-by-numbers which is not necessarily a bad thing. The first two jogger tracks are well decent too, although the emo-metal-electro of nephicide is some unlistenable shite

I think Nephicide is awesome. (I hate screamo/hardcore etc.)

And yeah love to make music to was a super disappointment to me. I think the main problem was he has been playing so many shows that he wanted to make music that was way more dancey so that become his number one focus, and the instrumental and sample experimentation became second to the effect on a live audience and it really made the quality go down for older fans who enjoyed his older experimental qualities. This ep some what goes back to that but it's just quite as good. I asked him if he was going to release more experimental stuff and he said he had another alias he might release stuff under though he doubts he'll really get to release it, I think he said the name was "mr. hands" or "captain hands" he said "was trying to think of a really cheesy name" but basically he's saying he's not going to be as experimental with his stuff that's on labels like ninja tune because that's not what they want.

Holy fucking shit that was awesome. The chillwave/glo-fi parody was better than the 'real' thing ("it's just a feelin/it's just a feelin/a feelin' thats been made/but whats a feelin?/what is a feelin?/a feelin i'm afraid")
