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.
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.
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.
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).
Mark Musselman and I released our debut album in 2006, helping to define the progressive breaks genre. If you’d like to get on the Momu mailing list to hear about forthcoming singles and our new album “Rising” out later this year, you can download our debut self-titled album right here (high quality mp3 version) at no charge.
