New Music Videos from Momu, Grimes

By

On August 22, 2012

In Electronic Music

A couple more music videos to share today. One of our own (Momu – Rising), directed by Kia Simon. We got up at 3am to make that first sunrise shot. There was a French guy sleeping in the bushes when we got there (Muir Beach). He had a really nice bicycle and full camping gear … some kind of “explore America on a budget” trip I guess. You can buy the album over there on the right (cover art by LEBO).

The second video is by Canadian artist Grimes (Claire Boucher). I like it — mostly because it has lots of medieval weapons in it. Musically, there are incredibly interesting production elements. Stylistically there is a visual melange of Burning Man, hipster-homeless, Britney Spears, Ren Faire, and general LA trashiness. But Grimes is for real. She sailed down the Mississippi on a houseboat, with chickens and a typewriter, reading Mark Twain. Eating only potatoes. Cheers to Grimes.

Porter Robinson’s first music video is fantastic — check it out:

Porter Robinson is a young producer from North Carolina. Among his musical influences he lists the Japanese version of Dance Dance Revolution. A large number of the Konami DDR tracks were written by Jondi & Spesh, so I’ll take a little credit for influencing the next generation of U.S. electronic music artists. 😉

Surprisingly, the new Momu album “Rising” has already hit #20 in the Beatport Chill-Out charts, and is featured on Beatport’s Chill-Out home page.

If you purchase (or have already purchased) the new Momu album from Beatport, send me an email (jd[at]thisismomu.com) with a proof of purchase (Beatport order receipt), and I’ll add you to my MOMU VHP (Very Helpful People) List. I’ll keep this offer open for the entire month of August.

You can buy the new album on Beatport here.

For the rest of this year and all of next year, you’ll receive an email with me with a download link to every Momu release, high quality 320 mp3 or better, at least four weeks prior to the release date.

This isn’t a contest — everyone who does it gets on the list.

Thanks for listening!

My Best Work, for Free (Momu – Momentum giveaway)

This morning I’m happy to give you some of my best work, for free.

Momentum is the second Momu album. The album was a change from our first album (the self-titled Momu) which featured textural, intense, breakbeats (like our remix of Jamie Stevens “The Night Before” or our epic anthem “Hydergine“). Momentum, on the other hand, is sculpted from slower beats, sonic weirdness, and poptronica.

My favorite track on Momentum (thanks in no small part to Kia Simon’s music video below) is the track Window. It was our first collaboration with Alysoun Quinby since “The Dive” (you may have heard that one in the background of about a hundred different MTV reality shows).

So, enough with the commentary. Click the link below to the Loöq Records site and download Momu’s last album, Momentum, as a free download. Yes, Loöq Records want your email. Why?

So they can tell you about the new Momu album which comes out next week.

Music for Space Migration

My newest release is fan music, loosely inspired by Joss Whedon’s “Firefly” series. The Reavers, especially in Serenity (the Firefly movie), were Class-A villains. I think they deserve their own theme song. Thus, I present to you the “Reaver EP” — out today on Conquer (Royal Sapien’s label).

Buy it Beatport
Buy it on iTunes

Reaver EP, out today on Beatport, general release in a few weeks (I think).

If you’re not familiar with the Reavers, or just want to revel in their horribleness, here’s a clip for you.
