The Analog Affair began in the spring of 2008 in a small college town in Wyoming. When Cody Moser and Evan Baker discovered that they both shared said passion during an intermission of bi-weekly beer pong, The Analog Affair was born. Since then, the brainchild, influenced by the likes of Stars, Straylight Run, Ben Gibbard, Brand New, Dallas Green and Styrofoam, amongst many others, slowly has grown legs and is on its way to becoming a fully-functioning, developmentally sound, upstanding citizen in underground indie electrodramatic pop (technically not a sub-genre....yet....). To put it plainly, if music is war, then the Analog Affair has become adept at the art of guerilla style music making.
Hello I am a musician who play keyboard and piano, I teach in keyboard and piano. I have play piano since age of 9 now I am 47, I love to make music, and listen to music.I make my own music, but I play some cover songs sometimes. Like Elton John and Billy Joel. I have my great Korg Karma and my Roland XP80 and my DX7 love them all, make good sounds all of them. I have my own home studio, have play in several groups. Style is ballad now but I also like funk jazz rock blues gospel.

Have been playing piano for a while and now I'm pursuing my love for electronic and acoustic music alike.I like Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Matthew Herbert, Underworld, Depeche Mode, NIN and much more ... I'm not interested in creating music that is "polished" and "clear and crisp" sounding. I like it when a song sounds a bit rough - I like that type of energy. What is most important is that the integrity of the song is sovereign to everything. I don’t work on my songs too long and most of them have been done in a day or 2.I would like to collaborate with others.

My name is Tim, I live in Belgium, in the city of Antwerp.I have been making musical tunes for about ten years, I started of with techno, trip hop, break-beat, drum n bass and electro. Every year I have the urge to go about a new direction and as of may this year, that would be very hip hop oriented. But I always seem to carry personal style with me.My style is a combination of transformed rare samples and clean vst basses/synths with some live instruments in the back.Some of my big Beatheroes are: Dj Shadow, Coldcut, J. Dilla, Dj Premier, Pete Rock and Dj Muggs, Lamb, Blockhead, Aphex Twin, … To name but a few.
Starting and finishing tracks within’ an hour or two is something I am always guilty of.I make the music that comes out at the time that I’m recording.My recent flood of songs has been influenced by cabin fever and a slow unraveling of thoughts and understandings.
Hi, this is your Host, Primate King, welcoming you to the 8th Episode of our try to be but not so weekly rotating jam session . . . Accidental Practice!
This episode has been a long time coming and believe you me, we didn’t pull any punches when it comes to bringing you the finest independent musicians our beloved Smokeland California has to offer. Actually, we’re bringing together artists from all corners of the globe. Yeah, we had to step it up a little bit…it helped get you tuned in though, didn’t it?
We’ll hear from Smokeland California’s very own resident guitarist Dennis Wongwho will actually be playing keys for a short while in this episode…also, we will hear some recent guerrilla-styled performances from Nice Guys Finish Last and Fill (that’s F – I – L – L) from Southern California that took place at our good friend Rose’s 24th birthday party. Another treat we have to offer on this episode of the Accidental Practice Podcast is a collaboration between Swiss producer Patrick Kiener aka One Man Krass and NYC rapper/producer Sir Darkseid aka Johnny Freaking Awesome. We also have a brand new remix of a song by Milwaukee, Wisconsin’s very own Living Dred. If that doesn’t quench your thirst, perhaps a couple exclusive prim8king remixes + mashups will dump the proverbial cooler of Gatorade over your head while you’re not looking…either way you crack it – it’s going down!
More about Sir Dark$eid: Born in Trinidad and Tobago. . .The name's Jonathan Quamina a.k.a Johnny 5.1 a.k.a Johnny Freaking Awesome a.k.a Sir Dark$eid. I reside in BROOKLYN N.Y! I was raised in Harlem, Brooklyn and Oakland. Sound complicated? It's not! I'm an east coast kid at heart. Music, among a list of other things, is one of my deepest passions. Hip Hop is my religion and it's how I get my mind right and force the negative energy out of my spirit. Some of my role models in Hip Hop right now are MF DOOM, Mad Lib, Jedi Mind Tricks, Apathy, Aesop Rock, Eminem, Ludacris, and Busta Ryhmes. . .just to name a few. Danger Doom is probably my biggest idol combos. When they came out with the Mouse and the Mask album it was just mad stoopid. Every song on that album is pure gold. Like I tend not to rap about guns, drugs, and cars. I mean I've lived the street life but your not gonna hear me glorifying killing nigga's on the block. People listen to your stuff, especially the youth and one should really wanna set a good example and send a decent if not good message. Now not to say my lyrics are on that Will Smith level, but I hope you'll notice that when I rhyme I rhyme about silly stuff but keep in real. The fact is I rap for the people plain and simple. I Like to have fun with rap. People like Busta, Kanye, Common, Mos Def. . .these are guys who are having fun with rap. It don't always have to be about killing and drugs. I love music and I would be lost and dead without it. Hands down, palms up!
More about One Man Krass: Hi my name is patrick. i'm from Traintown, Switzerland. i'm a bassguitar player, also i play the guitar and lots of air drumming or just programm it in reason 4 (rewired to logic). I listen to anything that rocks - metal to funk and jazz to hardcore and everything in between. i produce my own songs. i love music.
More about Living Dred:
Living Dred is an ever growing musical adventure, made up of a committed and talented group of musicians who give nothing less than every ounce of energy into capturing the brilliance of reggae and rock, fuzing them together to create their own unique sound coined acid-reggae.
It gets cold up here in the north woods, so we learned how to make our own sunshine. Best described as a hint of mint with a twist of poison Living Dred's unique style know as acid-reggae in-fuzes elements of punk, rock, metal, blues, salsa, polka, surf and dub with their own special style of reggae. And the story begins...
Living Dred looks forward to what the future has to offer. The band continues to grow and develop their individual talents while writing and learning new material.
"Electro Ain't Electro No More" is the Atomic Hooligan vocal that seems to sum up the Electro Pusher Mix Series in a phrase...but to experience the creative genius behind this project is the only way to let the dance-friendly, remixed and re-fixed sounds of Primate King enter your brain.
You'll find local talent from Smokeland California (Divasonic), SoundCloud friends (RuNRiOT & Elektropusher), BIG names (Dizzee Rascal, The Ting Tings, Princess Superstar, Kanye West (please listen before criticizing), LMFAO, Yeah Yeah, Yeahs, Haddaway, Robin S.), and yes the late great Michael Jackson in the 2nd installment of the Electro Pusher Mix Series.
Electro, Dubstep, Hip-Hop, Pop, Rock and a whole barrage of other genres are seamlessly spliced into fifty eight and one half minutes that you will want to experience again and again at an uplifting 129 BPM. (workout music anyone?)

Total Playtime: 58:38 Released by: primateking Release/catalogue number: ep02 Release date: Jul 24, 2009
“It’s time to get offended.”You can hear me say these words in the opening moments of the recording of Does It Offend You, Yeah?’s Sept. 18th 2008 performance at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, CA.
It’s not so much that the crowd was offended by the music.Rather their reaction was quite the opposite.Moshpits consumed the entire floor, stairways and balcony seats were packed in with eager teen and twenty-something-year-old concertgoers.When the first samples of “Weird Science” started to play “Get away, get away, get away, get away” and the bass drum kicks, synth stabs, and enthusiastic shouts of “oi, oi, oi, oi” coming right on beat from the crowd mixed together into the buildup and released a poignant and punchy beatbed for James Rushent’s verbal welcoming and promptly following aural assault.
“Doomed Now” carried the crowd’s enthusiasm forward with plenty of crowd surfing and on “Battle Royale” the boys broke out the cowbell and got an even dirtier bassline working each and every body up and down in synch.Our friends lost and found a wallet, the band polled the audience in downloading/purchasing their album and I shouted about the 7”.“Being Bad Feels Pretty Good” was first introduced as “Being Good Feels Pretty Bad” and proved to be a charming exhibition of the band’s formulaic pop methodology.
DIOYY? quickly offset the previous pop charm of the previous song with their three minute long psychobilly flavored “Attack of the 60ft Lesbian Octopus.” At this time we learned about the afterparty at Vessel from several different promoters and promptly finished our drinks.
Craigslist casual couples were the demographic that “Lets Make Out” was dedicated to on this evening and let Josh get pretty experimental with his grungy, Kurt Cobain-esque snarls.I’d imagine the 15 year old girls on the floor were going insane by this point.I know my 23 year old fiancé certainly was J
“These damn dinner tables!” is what Chloe Duveaux was upset about, before he started talking about the afterparty, at Vessel where they would be spinning ABBA and Guns & Roses records.“Dawn of the Dead” was also quoted as their favorite song just before launching into its opening verse and certainly earned “sing-a-long status” from our party members in attendance.
One of our favorite songs, “With a Heavy Heart (I Regret to Inform You)” came next and if I remember correctly, when we saw them on their way back from Coachella in late April 2008, this was the same song that they had the entire audience of Slim’s up on the stage jumping off and crowd surfing next to the big sign that said “No Moshing / Crowd Surfing.”It was definitely just as hype this time around, and was up there with many successful metal bands of the 90’s in creativity and emotion.
The next little jam I swear to god was a cover of “Invaders Must Die” by The Prodigy.You be the judge, but since James co-produced “Invaders Must Die” and “Omen” off of The Prodigy’s 2009 release Invaders Must Diethere is at least a distinct possibility that this is the case.Nevertheless it is an amazing find that I’m not sure you can get anywhere else.Tré unique.
“We Are Rockstars,” which in my opinion is the only song in their current arsenal that could follow a cover of The Prodigy was introduced as the last song of the evening.The crowd went n-u-t-s!The blazing synthesizers of the verses parted, allowing for a soothing 8-bit chorus to replenish the crowd’s energy, while theremins and chunky basslines pounded the crowd into one cohesive-yet-chaotic mass.This was an amazing finish and could only be topped by an encore performance of something completely different.
There was a short pause before a birthday announcement and after a quick round of “Happy Birthday,” the band went right into their reimagining of “Whip It” by soon to be re-emerging devolutionary rockers Devo.
Fun fact:I met Devo this March at SXSW in Austin, Texas when they held a Press Conference confirming their reunion and plan to release a new album in the fall of 09.I was the last person to ask a question before the Press Conference ended, but I made sure to make it count with “Have you heard Does It Offend You, Yeah?’s cover of “Whip It,” and if you have, would you consider touring with them?”The original four members had not heard the version, but the newest member, super-musician Josh Freese definitely had, and can be quoted as saying that it was a “reimagining of the song” and that “there’s no reason why not” in reference to touring with DIOYY?.Truth is, I think it would be the perfect show to see this summer.Let’s see if we can make some magic happen.
I almost feel ashamed not having posted anything since late February...three months go by and no show from your blog host...very unprofessional. Hopefully the quality of the content will at keep you coming back :)
The dark opening of Ladyman’sViagra Opus twists around slowly like a good build-up in a horror film.Think horrific dub reggae that is confused between being either completely smoked or glitched out.We really enjoyed “Steppin’ Lady Style” with the tongue on roof of mouth samples that flow in between light percussion and reverb aplenty!
The wobbly bassline on “Womanizer Dub” gets a little punchy while a tantalizing rhythmic percussion gives the listener access to the highest levels of enjoyment…without taking five or six minutes to do so.
All but two of the tracks on Viagra Opus are under three minutes in length and with gems like “Poppy God” and “Crust,” this 45 minute journey into the darker, more experimental, “softcore IDM meets dub reggae.”
Get ready for an experience that will shake the coconuts off your trees and bring you to your knees on the dancefloor…you’ll beg for more of this hardcore Viagra Opus.
