Moldover chicago performance with Liz Revision at Risque cafe

Check out this free performance of Moldover at Risque this Saturday!

Known to 400,000 YouTube viewers as “The Godfather of Controllerism”, MOLDOVER has become the inspiration for a new generation of musicians interested in moving “beyond the decks.” Feb 18th, Chicago’s Ableton user group will feature Moldover for a special edition user group session.

Fusing hard rock with electronica, glitch edits, and frantic drum beats, Moldover’s signature style defies categorization. And with appearances on national television, coverage in major music publications, and countless live shows around the world, Moldover is in constant demand by people interested in this next evolution of music.

…but 2010 will be the best year of all time! OF ALL TIME!!

Yes, Kanye, your jackassery made for a pretty awesome internet meme. Here’s some of the best things about 2009. Oh yeah, and we put everything 20% off at Fractalspin, but only for the next 3 days. Happy New Year!

6. Kanye will let you finish, but…

Lulz were had quite a bit this year, and countless photoshops made of Kanye upstaging Taylor Swift at the Video Music Awards. Here’s some of our favorites, and a larger archive.

5. Terrence
Parker’s “Tribute to Michael Jackson”

While we are sorry to have lost MJ this year, we love DJ Terrence Parker, aka TP’s, funky, soulful, housey tribute.

Oh boy–two internet memes in one! We LOLd at this brilliant mashup of “David after Dentist” and “Christian Bale Flips Out

The potentially iPhone-killer phone from Verizon stole the G1′s thunder and made for Motorola’s most attractive and intriguing piece of technology yet. http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/motorola-droid-review/

1. Live 8 / APC40

Alright, we are total electronic music nerds over here so when Ableton Live 8 was released and Max / MSP was integrated, we were giddy. Then they released a controller that spoke to our inner fanboy. So much so that it spawned its own hilarious photoshop thread in the Ableton forums. Here are some of our favorite shops: http://lizrevision.com/gallery?album=1&gallery=2

Happy Halloween: Exclusive Free Liz Revision Mix, Party in Chicago with Bitshifter

Friend of the Site Liz McLean Knight aka Liz Revision aka Quantazelle of subVariant has put together a special, exclusive mix for CDM of 117-119 bpm musical goodness, excavated from the “_blippy” folder of sketches on her USB drive. Matt Moldover, who has been working on his CD-as-electronic-instrument album, lent his laptop. (Watch him assembling CDs in the video after the break.)

It’s all in celebration of a Halloweeen party Saturday night in Chicago, headlined by Josh Davis (BitShifter). Party ringleader Liz joins Josh on behalf of subVariant to represent the IDM-glitch-minimal-tech-house side of things, and Mr. Automatic (Front 312) and Onefiftyone (Chicago Workshop) will be joining in. If you’re in Chicago, this looks like the place to spend your Saturday. If, like me, you’re not, well, we have some music and videos for you to bring the party home.
