Cadence Weapon – Hope In Dirt City

Ya’ll already know about my undying love for Cadence Weapon aka Rollie so I’ll keep my swooning to a minimum and focus on his music instead.
For the past couple of months Rollie has been teasing us with tweets about new music, even dropping a Grimes collaboration that blew my musical mind. It’s now been confirmed that he will drop ‘Hope in Dirt City’, the follow up to 2008’s critically acclaimed ‘Afterparty Babies’, on May 29.
Look out for collaborations with Doldrums and Buck 65, as well as a sound that departs from his latest mixtape ‘Tron Legacy’. According to a recent press release, ‘Hope in Dirt City’ is a “clearly defined and emotionally mature statement of intent” which will see Rollie bring hip-hop back to its roots. Well, I guess if anyone can do its him.
In support of the album, Cadence will be hitting up the Electric Owl on June 22. In the mean time check out two of his latest tracks “Loft Party” and “Crew Up”.

Review: Grimes @ Fortune Sound Club – Feb 18th

Our rainy little city has been spoiled for the last little while since alternative music’s brightest rising star has been giving this city a lot of love. Grimes has taken over some serious air space with her latest album “Visions.” You can’t take two clicks anywhere online without seeing her face, and she’s even been approached to model for Vogue. With all this going on, she’s done several shows and DJ sets in Vancouver over a small handful of months The latest one being on February 18th at Fortune Sound Club.
You can tell the hype was in full swing. The fairly spacious Chinatown club was packed to the brim with anxious fans. It was hard not too have very high expectations at this point, but here’s how things boil down.
The lady herself, Claire Boucher, is an entrancing performer and a virtuoso of her craft. Aside from a few guest performance from the opening act Born Gold, Grimes performs alone, and still manages to emit a sonic landscape with what seems like an effortless twiddle of knobs. Her new single, Genesis, pounded like a cyborg marching band underneath slithering, intertwined melodies of her overlapping vocal chords. Her voice is the main entree of the music, and she is a virtuoso of brave new territory. Boucher is downright pleasing to watch; she’s calm and confident, and conveys her music convincingly in the way she meanders and sways about the stage. Her act feels refreshing and genuine because you don’t get to experience anything like Grimes. She’s a beautiful, young female, with very diverse artistic influences, and she puts on a seriously elaborate electronic musical performance.
The only thing that held her back were some technical issues and microphone feedback that occasionally roused you from dreamland. Speculation says she’s controlling all her equipment herself and not letting the sound tech deal with these issues which is a hard leap of faith for any musician to make but should be done. With that being said, you can tell when an artists has surpassed the trial grounds, when technical issues are a small brush fire in the grand scheme of a show. Let’s hope she wasn’t too deterred by the rain and will come back to Vancouver soon after she takes over the world.

We’re BACK! (Don’t call it a comeback. We’ve been here for years.)

Grimes is a musician, visual artist, video director and producer based out of Montreal/Vancouver and lately everyone has been falling under her spell.
Influential UK music mag NME picked her as one of the most exciting acts of 2012. Listen to her latest record Visions and you would have to agree.
When I sat down with Grimes, she was a lot more giggly than I would have expected, but she had a lot to say when I asked her about “not knowing any music theory” (a controversial rumor about her) and her witch house roots.

Grimes Feat. Deniro Farrar

Ask yourself this, what’s better than a vulnerable, angst driven gangster rapper casually calling out a broad on a killer track?
Well that’s easy, the above could be done by using Ryan Hemsworth’s Grimes-approved remix of “Genesis”.
Fortunately for us, that’s exactly what North Carolinian rapper Deniro Farrar did a few days back, and obviously the result is all kinds of trill.

I’m going to skip my spiritual seminar as to not offend any loyal followers, but I must say that this track is fate. In case you haven’t heard, WinnieCooper.net and Timbre Concerts present the beautiful yet darkly mysterious Grimes at Fortune Sound Club tonight! And just in case you didn’t think this could get anymore cray, Born Gold (formerly Gobble Gobble) will be accompanying Grimes to create an ethereal escape from reality. See you on the other side.
While this event is sadly all sold out, I’ve included a few tracks below to help soften your heartbreak. xx.
