Telepathic Friends: Introducing ULTRA PSYCHIC MEGA MONOLITH / New AW track

Tonight is a special night.

Tonight sees the launch of Ultra Psychic Mega Monolith, a new collective of artists based in (but not limited to) Raleigh, NC, of which I am proud to be a member.

We launch this evening by offering Telepathic Friends, Vol. 1, a compilation of tracks from over a dozen talented artists, most of which are new and exclusive to this release. I've contributed a new track, "They're Splitting Atoms, Somewhere" to the album.

You can get it right here as a free download. If you like what you hear and you'd like to help upset the established order of the Raleigh music scene, particularly with regards to electronica, spread the word.

(And please, for fuck's sake, Like the Facebook page.)

I will be sticking with Mega Monolith for the foreseeable future, which includes releasing my next EP due out Spring 2015, as well as a number of other projects I'm working on for next year.

NEW: Phantogram - "Fall In Love (Animalweapon Remix)"

Here's my new remix of Phantogram's "Fall In Love," which I debuted at tonight's show. To those of you who were there tonight - I had a blast; thank you so much.

NEW TRACK: Bathymetry

Two years ago I released my first album and labor of love, Good Luck. Here's a new track.

So, the next thing is going to be an EP, not an album, because another album right now will almost definitely kill me. There are also a number of other things I'm working on as well, so basically still an album's worth of material, just split up. This track was originally going to go on the EP I'm working on but as it's taking shape I'm realizing that it's just not really going to fit in with the rest of the material. I've been opening a few shows with it, so I figured what the hell, let's release it.

Hope you enjoy.

NEW: Nine Inch Nails - Vessel (Animalweapon Remix)

...I mean, you can't reasonably expect me not to remix NIN at some point. Come on.

Started this one a year ago, played a rough demo of it at last year's Ravesgiving, couldn't figure out what to do with it and shelved it until recently, when I picked it back up and finished it for this year's Ravesgiving.

Thanks to everyone (a lot of you!!!) who came out last night - that may be the most fun I've yet had onstage.

Everyone else, hope you dig this!

NEW MUSIC: "Meta Shit" and "Monsoon Season"

Here's some new stuff for ya:

My new hip hop collab with Frank Kastle, called "Meta Shit," and its instrumental B-side, "Monsoon Season." 

As of right now these are probably just gonna stick together; I don't have any plans at the moment to put either of them on the next "big" thing, which by the way will be an EP and hopefully out in the fall.

As always, a FREE DOWNLOAD.

NEW SONG: "Snowblind"

About two years ago, in the early days of this whole project we had a snow day. I had the day off and terrible tires on my car so, stuck in the house, so I decided to initiate a One-Day Super Challenge™: write, record, and totally finish producing a new song, start to finish, and release it, all in the same day.

I got writer's block and failed miserably. I did however keep at it over the next few weeks after that and nearly finished it before leaving it alone for a long long time until recently. I played it at like two shows this past summer and have been putting the finishing touches on it (new vocals, finishing the mix, etc.) the last few weeks.

The original goal was to put this out next time there was a snow day in Raleigh, but since it's Raleigh and half the time it's like 60 degrees in the middle of the fucking winter, I figured posting it as a Christmas gift would be the next best thing.

So here it is! Hope you dig it. (Try and remember to play it if it DOES snow where you live.)

This has been an AWESOME year for me musically, what with releasing an album and then a remix EP and playing a ton of shows and gaining a little momentum and getting CDs printed and all that. Thank you guys SO MUCH for your awesome support. :)

GOOD LUCK: Physical Copies Shipping 11/19; Pre-Order is Yes

FINALLY. After months and months, physical copies of my album Good Luck will begin shipping November 19.

If you've been keeping up (sup, local fam?) you'll know this was supposed to happen back in March shortly after the digital release. Since I'm not big-time enough for an explanation to be required of me, and since a truthful one would necessitate me doing a little shit-talking (well-deserved, but I'd like to stay classy) the short version is this: I was promised a run of CD's and told they were on their way in the mail every day for nearly two months before discovering that no order had ever even been placed. That party is out of the picture and I am the boss of this op, so no uncertainty this time.

As per the original plan, the CD's will be in cardboard digipack cases, with the same package design Jonathan Williams completed this spring - I can't wait for everyone to see the entire other half of his artwork.

They cost $10 + shipping, which also gets you an immediate digital download (if you don't have one yet) to tide you over until this beauty lands in your mailbox. There will also be an option at checkout to have your copy signed for no extra charge. You can pre-order now, on the same page where the digital download lives at goodluck.animalweapon.com.

This first printing will be a very small one and very nearly all profits will go toward another printing once I start running low (okay, and maybe a bottle or two of Dogfish Head Theobroma. Sue me.) And side-note: Since we're in economic recovery mode, the album will continue to be available as a free download.

I can't tell you how excited I am about this; I can't wait to hold this thing in my hands and get one into yours (rrrraaarrrrrr.) Thanks as always for the support!

NEW REMIX EP: Giant Robot Apocalypse

At long last some talented friends and I are proud to present to you our Giant Robot Apocalypse EP.

The 7-track release includes five vastly different and super dope remixes of "Giant Robot Apocalypse" from my good friends AK-87, Oneiric, Frank Kastle, Man of the Downtrodden and Alex Palumbo-Green. The remixes are amazing and I can't even begin to express how honored I am that they let me talk them into this. Meanwhile, the great Jonathan Williams has once again made me shit my pants with his amazing artwork, which as per usual will also be included in the download as wallpapers.

I'm treating this as a souped-up new "single" - if anyone reading this is involved with college radio and can get it on the air where you live, I've included a "clean edit" (the word "shit" is excised) and you would be the best person ever.

These guys worked their asses off to make this project happen. I hope you enjoy it!

Track List:

Giant Robot Apocalypse (Original Version)

Giant Robot Apocalypse (AK-87 Remix)

Giant Robot Apocalypse (Man of the Downtrodden Remix)

Giant Robot Apocalypse (Oneiric Remix)

Giant Robot Apocalypse (Alex Palumbo-Green Remix)
