I’ve really been looking forward to this, and it’s def satisfyingly adorable. The homie Zach Tipton aka I Am The Dot just finished editing his first music video for his tune “Love Song For Camus.” It’s a jam of mine and I’m stoked that this turned out so charming. Zach is looking for shows at SXSW so if anyone is throwing parties please hit him up! And make sure to download I Am The Dot’s Rare Creatures EP and the Winter EP with Boneless for free/donation right here.

snow doubt about it

I’m heading back to New York this week, to the land of stable internet, too convenient Thai food, and a season of winter hibernation. Luckily for the plane ride and the bedroom pining I Am The Dot has recorded a Winter EP with Boneless to bring the spirit when we’ve run out of Holidays. Unfortunely, due to said stable internet, I have to wait until NY before I can download it (but streaming is chill). These dudes are consistently keeping me on my feet, and we’ll have more from I Am The Dot coming soon.

here is now

Sometimes an ambient sound comes along that intrigues the ears and mind. Rather than inducing sleep, the vibrations only encourage a slight drowsiness to allow other senses to heighten and create a lucid reality between the fallen breaks and destructive versus. Boneless is…boneless. With no spine to support the base, the structure becomes a gorgeous and appealing wobble along the lines of the those inflatable dancing tube men. Boneless lies beyond the looking glass. Shoot him a MySpace message and ask for his ep, it’s marvelous and makes me want to ‘lesser than three’ (<3) all day.

oh man, i love that song

The Universe is most commonly defined as everything that physically exists: the entirety of space and time, all forms of matter, energy and momentum, and the physical laws and constants that govern them. According to some speculations, this universe may be one of many disconnected universes, which are collectively denoted as the multiverse. Illnyckyj is determined by a struggle between the momentum of expansion and the pull of gravity. It is so well designed that it must have had a designer, the complete guide to dimension.

Among the “remix” elite (in my book) Illnyckyj rests with today’s chilled-to-the-max best alongside Quarterbar, Banjo or Freakout, and and James & Evander; rather than the remix these are totally epic re-imaginations. Gripping your previous attachments to the classic tunes, Illnyckyj coerces those feelings into a realm of Wes Anderson, group sing-a-longs, and teenage love affairs. Parallel dimension indeed…hop in and get wet.

Zach Tipton, aka Denver’s I Am The Dot, is posting a pay what you want EP for download/purchase/stream on his MySpace sometime next week with three new jams, “Double Vision,” “Tunnel of Love,” and “Struck.” Keep an eye out. We posted some Dot pretty recently as a tune of the night, but if you missed it here are some insta-classics. I had a great walk home last night with these tunes, can’t wait to hopefully catch Zach in Los Angeles in January.
