Once a month I'm proud to bring you the absolute best in underground music. This month's installment is featuring one of Ghostly International's (and many, many other label's) finest, along with one of the most enjoyable new wave-makers in the city and the undisputed creator of sludge music.
Todd Osborn
(Ghostly International)
There are lots of stories about DJ and producer Todd Osborn (no e, mind you). They are, unfortunately for your ego and ours, all true. Our Lego-sculpting, electron microscope-owning, Japanese-speaking uber-producer puts his joy of life and the art of making into his music. Todd fixes and flies planes, has fabricated a video game kiosk out of hospital equipment, and is finishing his hovercraft as we write this. We could call him house music’s Macgyver,
but that would be obvious. I guess we just did.
Todd has been championed across the board, by everyone from Gilles Peterson to Aphex Twin (he records as Soundmurderer for his Rephlex label), from UR’s Mad Mike to Warp’s Flying Lotus. But such accolades should be taken lightly; after all, Todd just wants to have a little fun and get some time in on the dance floor. Like Todd, we should all get (more) busy.
Marshall Applewhite
(Yo Sucka / How To Kill Records)
If edm is drug music, Marshall Applewhite is the anti drug. Every 16 year old on molly would run from this stuff. Every person who understands underground dance music though, they will get it, they will love it.
and Resident DJ - Pontchartrain (Whiskey Disco / Rocksteady Disco)
