2 new Eskmo Dubstep tracks - BAD (Bay Area Dubstep Compilation Vol 1)

eskmo — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 15:23:19 GMT

BAY AREA DUBSTEP Volume 01 (Full Melt Records) 2 Tracks: Eskmo - "Amphibian" Eskmo vs The Antiserum - "Monstah" Album and track downloads @: http://fullmelt.addictech.com/ Hard copy CD's will be arriving in stores later this month. Vinyl singles to follow... from Full Melt Records: "Hello all, the long awaited BAY AREA DUBSTEP CD is now available @ www.Addictech.com for download. You can preview high quality clips of each track before you buy, and you can save money if you purchase the CD as an entire package. The compilation is almost a year in the making, and contains 14 unmixed, dj friendly tracks by San Francisco Bay Area Dubstep and Grime Artists. I have presented them in the order that I would mix them, so that the entire CD can be played in full and enjoyed by the regular electronic music listener. From the deep heady ethnic stylings of Djunya, JuJu and D Program, to the twisted tech-dub of Eskmo and The Antiserum, the grimey orchestrations of Albert Joseph and MBZ, to the live hardware sounds of Zapper and Atomikdog, along to the rootical stylings of Matty G and Roomate, each and every track is a chronicle to this contemporary musical artform called "Dubstep". This is music meant for soundsystems, this is the future of music."

It's been a long time coming, but I'm proud to say that I have worked with a local company here in SF to get my past material out and about. The company is Addictech, and in my humble opinion, they are badass. Featured on the site are my self released albums entitled "Machines on Task" (1999), "Illuminate" (2001), and "Ascension" (2003). At the time, I made small runs of a few hundred each and sold them on the east coast at my live pa shows. Much of the material is Eskmo stuff which ranges from speedy speedy idm / drum and bass type stuff to techno inspired things and big beat. A few Welder style bits are in there as well. Hopefully for those interested, you may be able to see where i have come from and perhaps where im heading... expect more with these fine fellas over at addictech..

BreaksFM Presents: San Francisco Breaks Onto The Scene

eskmo — Tue, 03 Oct 2006 18:12:42 GMT

BreaksFM Presents: San Francisco Breaks Onto The Scene Written by Jasey Leigh In a city that’s been dominated and recognized for its signature style house music, San Francisco is in the midst of a rude awakening. Growing from the occasional side room breaks set to a burgeoning scene of phenomenal proportions, there is an unstoppable momentum that is redefining what the city by the bay is all about. A close-knit community of producers, DJs, promoters and even a few ‘space cowboys’, the culmination of efforts has, for some, spanned more than ten years. With an influx of new parties and crews cropping up seemingly overnight, we’ve decided to highlight a few of those who are destined to put San Francisco breaks on the map. Each week, for the next five weeks, BreaksFM will feature an artist that defies categorization and has been instrumental in continuously pushing the boundaries of our culture. Buckle up. This is going to be one hell of a ride. Interview I: Eskmo / Welder here: http://www.breaksfm.com/viewthread.php?tid=7171

Burning Man

eskmo — Fri, 08 Sep 2006 07:40:42 GMT

Well the whole experience was certainly powerful for me. I met masses of new people and connected on a deeper level with older ones. Besides the exploring and playing etc...I got to spend a good deal of my time around some great people, eat some amazing dinners (thx to nexus) and explore the hell out of the playa with my tireless bike. I have never experienced something like this in my life until now. the basic rundown list as a first timer and simple observations.... Amazing. Truly what you make of it happens - seek and ye shall find. Pos and Neg. Friends are some of the most important things in the world I experienced plenty of internal and external observations on how i conduct my perceptions of people. Judgments etc.. and how to pause and just observe... Connections made with people and ideas / memes Tons of dust in my lungs now Will still be learning gradually from this thing Nexus dinners are fucking banging people like fire so do i broken bikes can be ridden until the end leaving on monday equals a 12 hour drive back home to SF arriving on monday is perfect Belgians make good waffles Alex grey is still pushing, and better then ever tequila and an empty stomach in the desert is no good for me the whole experience is quite purifying if u allow it i started thinking about next year my third day in randomly running into familiar faces in the desert is a great feeling next year gonna take more pics (maybe) ed is a funny guy function1 sound make me happy through fire (inner and outer) rebirth and growth occurs traveling with the right people to and from is key i love the west coast Overall an amazing experience. -truly. Honestly thank you to all my friends that helped to make my first time a great one. You know who you are. The various friends and are musicians as well, i had a fucking blast - thanks y'all. here are a few pics for anyone interested. The "dust up the nose" shots are perfect. Intentional, really, really...... http://s72.photobucket.com/albums/i168/eskmo3/burning%20man/

Eskmo / Welder mailing list updates...

eskmo — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 19:40:05 GMT

Well everyone, here are the updates... BRIEF OVERVIEW ( Details Below): My Debut 'Welder' album entitled "Vines and Stream" - (coming out late 2006) http://www.myspace.com/weldersounds My upcoming gigs: http://www.eskmo.com/site2/main_events.htm The DVD i helped create with featured camera work and music by Eskmo: http://www.eskmo.com/site2/scott_ritter.htm ........ (The Details) I just arrived a couple weeks ago to my new home: San Francisco. I traveled solo for 4 weeks across the country with my laptop, some cables, a couple books, a tent, and some clothes to seek new horizons. I must say we have an amazingly beautiful country. As for the Bay area, the culture, music and art scenes, food, ocean and weather brought me out here. I think this will be a very important step in helping my career take off to the next level (whatever that might be). As a way to show my different styles of music, I have decided to branch out with creating another persona for my midtempo / downtempo works. For my slower melodic pieces and performances I'm going under the name of "Welder". I will still keep Eskmo for my aggressive dance oriented releases and performances. As Welder, I have recently been signed for an album deal to the San Francisco based label Cyberset. The 12 song album is called "Vines and Stream" and is set for release in late 2006. For cover artwork and audio clips of the album, please visit http://www.myspace.com/weldersounds . Other artists featured on the Cyberset roster are Electric Skychurch, Single Cell Orchestra, Aphrodesia, Youth and others. To check out Cyberset's webpage, click here: http://www.cyberset.cc As Eskmo I have various projects im working on including remixes for Vertical Sound ( Bristol) and Cyberfunk (London). Also for Downbeat (NYC) there are some special digital projects in the works. Keep checking my site for updates on this stuff. As of right now, I have 8 bookings as Eskmo and Welder out here on the West Coast. I'm playing in various places like the Sierra mountains, San Francisco, Santa Cruz and Los Angeles. For specifics on these dates, check here: http://www.eskmo.com/site2/main_events.htm In September of last year, I helped to create a DVD with Squeaky Wheel Productions that featured Scott Ritter. I did various camera work, video editing and my music is featured in the program. Scott Ritter is a former marine and UN weapons inspector. He came to Yale to discuss the situation with Iran and how the Bush administration is going to lead us down the same path with them as they did with Iraq. And now, June 2006, these things are coming into fruition. For more info and audio of the event, check here: http://www.eskmo.com/site2/scott_ritter.htm That's about it right now folks. I've got many things lined up out here with various projects im working on with people here and outside the US. For more updates please check http://www.eskmo.com often. Thanks again to all of you that support, it's truly appreciated.
