Honey Kat Badger System - Sunrise 2011

A blend of Ingrid Michaelson's "You and I" with Bassnectar's remix of "Run the Heart" by Sleigh Bells. Was that confusing enough for you?!

Ingrid Michaelson vs Bassnectar-You and Heart (Lokae masher)

A taste of the live Lokae sound. Recorded on Sept 24th 2010 in Tahoe City alongside Slayers Club and Opiuo.

I’m using original and remix loops triggered / manipulated on the fly with instrument layers, improv sections, and cherries on top. Which means you’ll never hear the same set twice ;)

Performed in Ableton Live with a Launchpad, Trigger Finger, NanoKey and an electric bass.

Set was inspired by a conversation with my friend Stephanie. Here, she tells me about the previous night’s dream:

“Then we sat down and you broke down music for me step by step, starting with a heartbeat. ‘The heartbeat is the first beat we come to know, first our mothers, and then our own.’ So you take a heartbeat, and you double the tempo. And then you double it again, and turn up the bass, and you start your dance. The heartbeats of all the dancers changes the beat and vice versa, constantly, and the music evolves endlessly.”

Many thanks to Champagne & Bacon crew and Lite Brite Productions for the amazing sound. Much love to the awesome people in Lake Tahoe for bringin’ their A-game and open hearts!

Heartbeats Live Set

echoes untold
the lights they dim

brighten to show
your skulls within...

Pay What You Like

Careless

fortune it froze
no longer strides

stumbling blows
we run our minds...

Pouring Midway

whiskey & bones
hard boiled sins

float over roads
lucid begin...

Siphons in the Sky

i'm dreaming
i'm drowning

Slow Burner ft. Connie Lim

Slow Burner (Instrumental)

Just rediscovered this on my hard drive the other night; not sure why I didn't post it months ago! Here it is anyways. 
A simple refix & rearrangement with just a few elements sprinkled in, because i.m.o. the original doesn't need much added to it. Props to Lorin.

Bassnectar - Basshead (Lokae refix)

Lokae is on hiatus, but here's a freebie to tide you over.

Few electronic producers can meld frenetic, danceable rhythms with introspective song progressions. Lokae manages to do so effortlessly. Bubbling in the Bay Area’s underground electronic community, producer and multi-instrumentalist Lokae (Ian Luo) makes it his mission to move the listener – slaying the dance floor or rocking the theater of your mind, he’s happy with either result.

Originally from China, raised in Southern California, and now currently residing in San Francisco, Luo has developed a far-reaching appreciation for diverse musical backgrounds and styles. He has played classical piano, got his chops down with jazz ensembles, nodded his head for years to the boom bap, and honed techniques of collage while DJing throughout the Bay Area. Such a broad musical background helps inform the pliancy in Lokae’s production strategy, where he brings visceral instrumentation to bear on laptop robotics.

His live performance infuses a cutting-edge Ableton set with dynamic improvisatory skills – where you can see Luo triggering percussive loops, manipulating effects, and layering keyboards on the fly. It’s a talent fit to make any introvert shake around in a frenzy and induce extroverts to have just a moment of thoughtfulness. Expect some heat from this promising beat conductor. –Michael Krimper
