Jeff Bujak generates heavily organized piano progressions, twists, and winds them amid constantly evolving poly-rhythmic electronic beats and constructs a sound that is not only unique, but extremely fresh to the underground music scene. Bujak is a solo performer that uses computers, keyboards, effects, samplers and vocals to create a 'progressive-piano groove.' He creates a sound that unites keyboard influences of Peter Gabriel, Album Leaf and Bruce Hornsby with the hard driving rhythms of Prodigy and DJ Shadow. More at JeffBujak.com

Danger Mouse's new album has been shelved by his label, EMI, after a run of legal battles between the two. However this is not going to stop him. Danger Mouse has come up with an idea to get his music heard, while at the same time expressing his anger towards his record label, EMI. The album, which is entitled "Dark Night of the Soul," will now be sold as a 100+ page book. The book will include photographs taken by David Lynch which are inspired by the music. However what really shows his anger toward EMI, is not the book itself, but rather the other item that will be included with purchase of his new book, a Blank CD-R!

I came across a festival recently that really sparks my interest however I have not seen much promotion for this event at all. Therefore thought that I would put something up about it, here on the website, since many others probably have missed this event as well. It is a weekend festival called Muddy River Jam Festival, and is held in Morrisville, PA. It is in its fifth year running, and brings artists together from as far away as Washington and California. There are also artists from closer by, such as, Baltimore, Washington DC, New York and Philadelphia. The fest is being held in a new location this year called, Snipes Farm. The farm is a 150-acre site that combines a pastoral atmosphere with the convenience of nearby major highways. Muddy River is organized each year by the Philadelphia band "The Juice."
