Freeland prize pack
We have some sick (in the nicest possible way) Freeland swag for give away to a randomly selected LAEM subscriber including a CD, a t shirt and vinyl. To be in with a chance of winning, simply tell us why you really, really need one under this post. C’mon, we know you do!
Prize pack features:
‘COPE’ CD … ‘Two Hours to Jupiter’ CD. Tracklisting here: http://www.marineparade.net/jupiter/
‘Cope’ shirt: Men’s or women’s
Plus, “Under Control” vinyl.
Tracklist:
Alex Metric Remix
Golden Bug Remix
Evil Nine Graveyard Smash Instrumental
FREELAND ‘DO YOU’ WITH MIXES BY JOKER / MOONBOOTICA / HIGH RANKIN / PANTYRAID OUT NOW
“The remit on this one was if Led Zeppelin were making electronic music what would it sound like? And this is what we came up with. Helped quite a bit by having Tommy Lee on drums, creating that big John Bonham style drum sound”.
Long a highlight of his sets ranging from Coachella to Fabric, iconoclastic DJ/producer Adam Freeland finally releases Do You the first salvo from his long-awaited artist album, Cope(TM), set to come out in June 2009 on Marine Parade (and available to pre-order now at Freeland.FM). As expected with the U.K. bred, Los Angeles based Freeland, Do You offers the unexpected, switching up his usual uptempo bangers for a sinister 100 BPM groover that eludes any club-genre pigeonholing. Indeed, Do You proves a mid-tempo can still set dancefloors aflame: like DJ Shadow deconstructed by Can, Do You explodes with an irresistibly massive, sinister Moog synth hook, which is quickly mangled with choppy glitch edits and thundering kicks and snares that split the difference between Bonham and Run-DMC. Co-produced by Marine Parade’s latest producer-DJ star Alex Metric (Autokratz, Locarnos, Black Daniel, Hard-Fi, Eddy Temple’s ‘Remixer of the Year 2007,’ Annie Nightingale’s BBC alternate) and mixed by Alex Greggs of South Rakkas Crew fame (Yo Majesty!, Beenie Man, and, er, N*Sync), Do You, serves as the perfect introduction to Copes mind-bending collaborations, which include tracks with Joey Santiago (Pixies), Brody Dalle and Tony Bevilacqua (Distillers/Spinnerette), Jerry Casale (DEVO), Brooklyn shoegazers SoundPool, and Tommy Lee (yeah, that one).
US TOUR DATES:
5/21 – Costa Mesa, CA – Detroit Bar
5/22 – Los Angeles, CA – The Echo
5/23 – Daly City, CA – Cow Palace

Noelle St. said | 29 May, 2009
Like the hands on the album need that drop in the illustration, so do i need, want, and hope for the freeland prize pack.
As always new music is inspirational and aids in drive, what better to do so than Freelands COPE . A new t (especially of the awesome design shown via the link) is a great way to show support and advertise and Vinyl, that’s like gold! Help me Cope with Freelands support…..

fluffybits said | 3 June, 2009
i don’t need it, i am sure of it, to be honest i am not even sure what i am suppose to be winning. But just long as you @ LAEM realize that by not letting me with this comp will only full fill my ongoing lack of having any witty to say in comps like this. I am happy.

i have had a horrible week… this would make it so much better.
Meggie said | 6 June, 2009
If i don’t I may collapse into a black hole of the lack of this fabulous music and prize (mainly the collapsing part is caused by the lack of music)… I’ve seen this happen before and trust me, it is not a pretty site.
Mike said | 10 June, 2009
I get around ( and so will your stuff!!!)
Be prepared if you choose me…
Tanja Cilia said | 12 June, 2009
I need it because I am probabloy the only, or at least the first, Maltese person to write in, and it will make a nice contrast to the 78rpm gramaphone record collection I have…

HAVE YOUR SAY
Christopher LaMarca has been photographing activists and loggers since the summer of 2003. Of his Forest Defenders series, he says: ‘My connection to this project revolves around the passion and endless work that consumes these people who live in the back-country for months at a time; and who are willing to sacrifice their comforts’ to stand up for their beliefs. Although these activists are often seen as radicals or eco-terrorists, little has been documented about their activities outside of these stereotypes. These stunning landscapes will continue to be decimated due to political pressure and lack of education, these are some of last truly wild places left in America’.
Stylistically The Asteroids Galaxy Tour is hard to pin down, except to say that they throw one hell of a party – which may be why those music-loving folks at Apple chose them to help sell what’s being touted as ‘the funnest iPod ever’. Sun-drenched pop melodies collide with Technicolor dreams, anchored by the band’s shared love of the classic soul stylings of Marvin, Stevie and Sly that can be heard in the horns snaking through Around The Bend, as well as the slinky The Sun Ain’t Shining No More [below], the Thomas Gold remix of which we have available for free download in the Music Download section of Lost At E Minor [psst, it's in the third column], along with a stack of other cool tunes. Get those iPods ‘a thumpin’!

If words like twentieth century, architecture, salvage, furniture and hodgepodge turn you on, then Retrouvius will enter into The Hall of Fame when it comes to showing off your new digs. I am quite partial to the Central Line Tube Table, being that I take the line everyday. ’Dining on’ instead of ’schlepping in’ could expand relations with the city. You also might enjoy poking through their project page for home inspirations.
