Xander Harris - “Night Fortress” Music Video
Directed by Melissa Cha
“From its wavy slow-motion intro alone, one can tell that the music video for Xander Harris’ “Night Fortress” is bound to be a rainbow-colored adventure into bizarre costumes and texture-melting acid trip territory. The best part, though, is that it’s not walls or environments melting here — that would be too boring — but rather, bobbing and weaving dancers that dissipate and reform while in a static environment, their bodies changing by way by way of sharp refraction, color dodges, and ripple effects. It really is a video that gets better with repeat viewings, and the dance moves are just tantalizing.” — via REDEFINE magazine.
This isn’t a glitched or altered photo! Italian architect Ferruccio Laviani built it to look like a wavy digital glitch. The piece, titled Good Vibrations Storage Unit is to appear at Italy’s annual interior show Fratelli Boffi. Amazing.

FEEL YOU: a house party at the intersection of psych and dance
Saturday, March 16th, 2013
@ House Of Commons
2610 Rio Grande St., Austin, TX
3:00pm – Late
ALWAYS FREE, ALL-AGES, DIY
& 100% UNAFFILIATED W/ SXSW
AND OH YEAH +++ FREE BEER +++
Good things come in threes.
Three months after the world hasn’t ended, the all-female booking trifecta of Marjorie Owens (label owner of Pour Le Corps and influential blog Clumsy N Shy), Gina Altamura (talent buyer at innovative Portland nightclub Holocene), and Vivian Hua (Editor-in-Chief of REDEFINE magazine) return to SXSW for the third year in a row. We call upon this heap of holy trinities to inspire ferocious whimsy at yet another free, all-ages, and unofficial house party for all who are weak and worn from the usual festival circuit.
An oasis for mythic musics at SXSW 2013, FEEL YOU is all about creating clarity, harmony and POSI VIBES in an oft-overwhelming week of chaos. Our focus is on music that muddles introspective psychedelia with exuberant dance, so expect revelry and epiphanies.
FEEL YOU blesses showgoers throughout its duration first and foremost with a GOOD ZONE — while also boasting an excellent lineup, attention to audiovisual delights, a profusion of girl power, and – uh – plenty of FREE BEER. Join us in the spirit of liveliness (or even just post-non-apocalyptic aliveness) in the year 2013!

Flying Lotus - Until The Quiet Comes Album Review & Track Analysis Of “DMT Song” - REDEFINE magazine
“DMT isn’t a joke, its not a party drug, and it should be respected. As much as I feel that everyone should experience this, It really ISN’T for everyone and I ONLY recommend it for those who are seeking a spiritual experience. DMT will destroy your ego, and this reality as you know it. As amazing and profound and brief as it was, there are SOME people that should NEVER EVER have this experience. You know who you are, Please travel responsibly.” - Steve Ellison (Flying Lotus)

<strong>Young Magic Live Show Review</strong>: Hypnotic Reveberations
July 29th, 2012 @ Mercury Lounge, New York

From the uniquely gorgeous Melati Malay with a guitar and her exquisitely ethereal vocals, and Isaac Emmanuel, who was vibing out with some sort of magical percussion set-up, came waves of transformative pan-ethnic textures in harmony with retro video projections of The Color Of Pomegranates, animalia, and hallucinogenic flowing shapes. The tracks took on a fresh life in the live setting, with anticipatory intros, expanded breakdowns, and drifting endings.
At one point, I found myself wishing there were blankets and pillows strewn about, or maybe even some crafted trees to encourage the audience to hang out as the haunting, worldly harmonies waxed and waned over us.
After several tracks from Melt, the band paused to say hello and mentioned that the next would be a new track. Twinkles of excitement were felt throughout the crowd. My friend turned to me with a big smile, as the song quickly became a favorite with its dreamy, sensual chants of, “There’s something in the water/ It’s intoxicating how you feel” atop a video backdrop of a lady snake dancing in bedazzled lingerie.
Young Magic thanked the crowd for spending their Sunday with the band and expressed that they had been on the best tour ever but they were glad to be back home. Closing with âNight In the Oceanâ, they lulled the audience into their hypnotic, reverberating swells.

Hands In The Dark was born at the end of a boozy party in 2010! What could have ended up just a brilliant idea and a short-lived story became the start of a great musical adventure, bringing together two lovers of “unclassified” music. Hands In the Dark pulls together various sounds with the common feature of mixing pop and experimental music. Grouping them under the title ‘Expop’ music, HITD has quickly reached its 12th release comprising CD’s, vinyl and even tapes. HITD also means ”DIY”. We build everything from top to bottom, from contact with the bands we love to sending out the parcels. We always preserve our freedom with no artistic pressure. Such is the great enterprise of HITD. In short, a French label with acertain je-ne-sais-quoi…
Hands In The Dark est né fin 2010 lors d’une soirée arrosée! Ce qui aurait pu s’apparenter à une fulgurance doublée d’une histoire sans lendemain n’était en fait que le début d’une belle aventure musicale réunissant deux amis passionnés de musiques inclassables. Hands In The Dark rassemble des sonorités diverses et ayant pour dénominateur commun un côté expérimental allié à un versant pop. Rassemblé sous l’étiquette d’ «Expop music», le catalogue du label comptera bientôt 12 références… Cd’s, vinyles mais aussi cassettes. HITD, c’est aussi l’importance du côté « DIY ». Tout est de A à Z géré par nos soins, de la prise de contact avec les groupes que l’on aime à l’envoi des disques. Aucune entrave à notre liberté, aucune contrainte artistique… Tel est le vaste chantier de HITD.
