This young musical romantic weaves together a true “love-sound” that falls between honeyed melody and avant-electronics.

Working from a studio in Santa Monica, California. A young Daedelus began noodling bass clarinet notes, and soon graduated into the covenant of double-bass. After an ill-fated affair pondering classical and jazz, rave paved the way, and a burgeoning record collection fueled Daedelus’ artistic creativity, preparing the path to his first full length release, Invention. Inspired by ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘70s grooves, and defying genres such as downtempo and hip-hop, Daedelus gradually begins to venture into the L.A. afterdark.

The music on Invention combines multiple instruments, including non-traditional ones such as computer printers, toy pianos, and the techno harp known as the Omnichord. Daedelus invites local MC talents Busdriver and Sach to flow over the masterful bonus versions of “Quiet Now” and “Pursed Lips Reply.” Invention unfolds in dynamic ranges of emotion.

Daedelus is also preparing to release an e.p. working-titled “Melody Intro” on Scott Herren’s Eastern Developments imprint and producing the next “The Weather” album for Mush Recordings. Daedelus is now found pouring lighter fluid on the turntables at dublab.com, fretting endlessly over his live set, and generally thinking in threes and fours.

He has also worked with MF DOOM, Absract Rude, Madlib, Pidgeon John, and High Priest (Antipop Consortium). His live show, which utilizes a custom-built sample trigger device and software package, has amazed audiences across the US, Europe, and Japan. (-) collapse
