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

Jason said | 26 May, 2009
I need it because I like the way their music sounds and I’m short on cash.
Linton said | 26 May, 2009
Because I need music almost as much as I need oxygen or water.
Jo B said | 27 May, 2009
i need it because music is what inspires starving artists like me, so help me get inspired this summer, and hey, if you give me a (women’s) top too, then I will have something to wear while i groove to my new tunes and make my next masterpiece!! fingers crossed
John said | 27 May, 2009

Cat Woods said | 27 May, 2009
I really really need one because I’m struggling to cope and I haven’t done the laundry in a week so I’m all outta t-shirts 
Danielle said | 27 May, 2009
Because I need an injection of ‘cool’ in my wardrobe, and my music collection…there’s too many ‘tired mummy’ outfits and too much ‘toddler dominated entertainment for my liking…..
Mik said | 28 May, 2009
I need it because I’m trying to get over the sight of Beyonce at the BK Lounge.
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…

Australian group Pivot have recently signed with the mighty Warp label and — even better (well, for us anyway) — have written a fun Secret Playlist for us. You can see where the many disparate influences have seeped into their latest recording, the beautiful and colourful, O Soundtrack My Heart.
Greek firm A31 just completed this sturdy-looking art warehouse for Alexandros Liapis in Dilesi, Boeotia. From some angles, the concrete structure looks like a fallout-proof bunker, but from the front it looks like an open and airy barn, the exterior looking very much like wood. Read more
I’m enjoying reading the insight and witticisms of the Indie Breakfast Club blog, which casts a wide net over entrepreneurship and what it means to be one and still have a conscience.
Already with a Spectrum show under their belt, The Archerbolds are an up and coming Australian band well worth checking out. I saw the Sydney-based lads play recently at the Mars Hill Café and it was evident that they should be permanently rocking out on a real stage; not in front of coffee sippers. Their floating lyrics, smart guitar riffs and meaty bass lines are infused by The Strokes, Mars Volta, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin — ultimately producing a freshly spun modern-vintage sound. Lead vocalist and guitarist Geoffrey ‘Gep’ Rectin says The Archerbolds plan to create a solid sound for next year: ‘Over summer, we’re recording an EP and working on a set sound, defining more of an image’. If their track, Rest Your Soul, is anything to go by, then it should be pretty dandy.
Perhaps the reason men are not known for their shoe fetishes is because when it comes to mens shoes in general, there are really only two must have varieties: vintage street wear and sartorialist leather. Read more

Now this is fun. This 3D watch dial actually jumps to life. The dial is a modern version of the 19th century art form of lithophanes: carved porcelain sheets that, when lit, deliver astoundingly detailed images. When the pusher is activated, the dial springs to life in 3D, with an LED light and afterglow effect. Read more
