Dirty Bits
12 October, 2007 Filed in: Friction
The latest from Friction showcases his unique style, blending some of the best in tech house, breakbeats, and dirty bits.
Born in Stockholm, Sweden while his parents were on tour, Friction was immediately submersed into the world of music. On stage in front of an audience of 10,000 by age four, playing guitar by the age of twelve, and opening for bands like Cake and the Deftones by nineteen, music has always been his obsession. Inspired by the music and performance of Bassnectar, Friction took to the decks as new instruments and soon found himself dropping beats and playing venues from small clubs and street fairs to giant festivals. He's played alongside a wide range of artists, including Rennie Pilgrim, Lawgiverz, Bass Kittens, Eskmo, Bil Bless (aka SOTEG/The Disciple Grin), Autobots, Oscure, FreQ Nasty, and Bassnectar among many other amazing talents. With the help of Y no. 5 (which he co-founded) and others in the community, Friction brought the post-apocalyptic Purgatory Cruiser to festivals such as San Francisco Love Parade/Love Fest and the Burning Man arts festival in the Nevada desert.This is a standard MP3 mix set.

One Consciousness
10 October, 2007 Filed in: Electric Dandelion
At very long last, here is another mix from Electric Dandelion. Recorded in August 2007, it showcases a number of his original tracks and remixes, as well as his considerable skills behind the decks. If Electric Dandelion has a major flaw, it Is that he's too versatile. He can play from downtempo to hard breaks without missing a beat, and no matter what time he goes on he always seems to have the right music for the mood and environment.
