Coco Machete & Land Shark in San Francisco

So we headed out to San Fran last weekend to catch up with the shark. He had two live gigs on Saturday that were centered around the new "Summer Music Conference" that somehow fell on the first weekend in fall, but who's counting.

The shows we're great, one in the daytime at a street festival and the other at the club 1015 on Saturday night. It's really good to see how this whole thing has come along from being a simple producer driven project to being a full band. The rest of the band is made up of Johnny on Drums and Tasho on Guitar. By Saturday morning the two of them had about three hours of sleep between them and Tasho looked like a grim version of Igor's little brother. They rocked it out all the same with the grimness only adding to the show. Lance nailed it, the bass was rumbling and the girls were screaming.

They did two more shows in SF this past week and were in Chicago last night. Let's hope they went swimingly.

Lance should be here in NYC this weekend to play at Love, too be seen though, he's still waiting on confirmation from the promoter on plane tix, way to go !!!

Land Shark - Top Ten

So the Shark has been doing alot of live dates recently in the bay area with a full band but of course is still DJing all the time. It's much easier to convince a promoter to buy a plane ticket for one than four...so on that note here's a taste of the flavor feeding the Shark these days

1. The Knife- We Share Our Mothers Health- Brille
2. The Rapture- Get Myself into it- Mercury
3. Heidi vs Riton- Vejer- Get Physical
4. Fuckpony- Children of Love- Get Physical
5. DK7- Hear Like A Demon- Output
6. Suxul Music- Fancy- Suxul
7. Dog Tags- The Connection- Coma
8. Casiotone For the Painfully Alone- Young Sheilds- Tomlab
9. Land Shark- Shake Me(Sweet Light Mixes)- Coco Machete

Land Shark's Demented Debut Album

Released this week, the self titled, full length album from Land Shark a.k.a. Lance DeSardi on Coco Machete shakes up any preconceived notions held by fans of dance, rock, electro and alternative sounds. The Land Shark project is an edgy departure from Lance's previous projects as an underground house music mainstay. Still deeply rooted in dance rhythms, Land Shark takes derailing hard left turns into the sonic realms of industrial, punk and electro. The music itself, drenched in angular synths, gravelly basslines, hypnotic live and electronic drums, defies genrefication. Be on the lookout for the full length album on CD, Vinyl and Digital formats as well as a release of the first single "Shake Me". The single features remixes from Sweetlight who has previous releases on Trevor Jackson's Output Recordings, David Duriez's Freak N' Chic imprint and Mylo's Breastfed.

Summer is officially here and we've kicked it off with a slammin' new single from Little Death called "We Are Back". Little Death came straght to us from a back alley bar in San Franciso with this cover version of the classic LFO track and we just couldn't refuse. Put it on your ears and put your boots on your feet, get ready to stomp.

Also in the news we are gearing up all summer for the September release of Land Shark's self titled full length titled album. We have partnered up with OM Records from San Francisco for worldwide distribution and it will be coming out on KSR in Japan at the same time. There will be a few surprise live shows for the Shark this summer and then a full tour kicking off in the fall. Don't sleep or the Shark'll bite ya !!!

The Moves Ft Tortured Soul "See You More"

Out this week, The Moves feat. Tortured Soul "See You More" with a deep in the pocket remix from Halo & Martino on Coco Soul. We are so pleased to have a release from these boys on the label at long last. They've been gigging everywhere worldwide but the actual releases of their music has been limited at best. "See You More" was one of the last tunes they played at their recent NYC gig at Canal Room and it brought the house down, smash hit style. It's been tearing up the digital world on www.traxsource.com and it's gonne do the same in the shops and the clubs...lookout !

A Poem From Kemdi

Good night poem

And tonight I'll let it go
take a little float
in a midnight blue sky

fly in a daze
surrounded by phychedelic daisies
under a moonlit sky
filled with stars
turned spotlights
on a beautiful world

and yes I'm gonna float
and dream till today becomes tomorrow
and if tomorrow doesn't come I'll dream again

so ride the night sky with me
and dare to dream
yes dare to dream
please dare to dream
