Live: Lazer Sword (Monkeytown/ LA/ Berlin)

LAZER SWORD is a live electronic act and production duo at the forefront of an emerging sound –a future music– fusing anything from rap, electro, dubstep, and grime together to form a new kind of club experience. On stage, Lazer Sword is a hands-on affair, evolving further with every performance. Unlike traditional producers or DJs, Lazer Sword performs the material to the audience as a highly improvised and unpredictable live production showcase. It's dance music first and foremost, although many are likely to take a step closer and witness the beats unfold.

Due to their wide palette of influences and production styles (the two share a love for all things hip-hop, disco, psychedelic rock, electro, early synthesizer music, ghettotech, etc.), Lazer Sword can be found performing amongst many diverse line-ups. Known for custom-preparing their sets to accomodate the occasion, they've built themselves a name as a uniquely versatile act. They have shared the stage with such various acts as Flying Lotus, MSTRKRFT, Chromatics, Megasoid, Eliot Lipp, Trackademics, The Cool Kids, The Glitch Mob, Ghislain Poirier, Kid 606, Bassnectar, Hudson Mohawke, Rustie, The Gaslamp Killer, and Starkey a.o.

By ways of their live shows and countless offerings online (including a continuous slew of remixes and mixtapes), they've built a dedicated following both in the Bay Area and throughout the states. They have gained notable international attention as well highlighted with an exclusive mix feature on Mary Anne Hobbs' distinguished BBC Radio 1 Experimental show.

Lazer Sword signs to Monkeytown Records:

After our recent relocation to respectively Los Angeles (Low Limit) and Berlin (Lando Kal), we're incredibly thrilled to share the news that Lazer Sword has signed with Modeselektor's Monkeytown Records to release our next single and full-length record. As fans of Modeselektor's music and label for quite some time, this is very exciting for us :)

Essentially everything Monkeytown has released since birth in 2009 has been absolute gold. The majority of the releases on Monkeytown thus far have been from Modeselektor themselves and Berlin's amazing Siriusmo (!), but also 2010's massive "Modeselektion Vol.01″ compilation (feat. Sbtrkt, Cosmin TRG, Feadz, Ramadanman, Bok Bok, etc.), and most recently a dope EP from mysterious beatmaker Elan. We have a remix on that one!

The first Lazer Sword single on Monkeytown is slated for November release, and the album to follow in the first quarter or 2012.

Lazer Sword's debut album released on Innovative Leisure in November 2010 was well received by music blogs, stores and magazines such as:

discogs.com: "...good times bass music on a roll with synth overdoses incorporating obvious inspirations from 80's boogie music and original electro in a modern context with the latest in future genre synthesis (...) which places Lazer Sword somewhere in the middle of a home listening experience and a block party."

groovemine.com: "...Lazer Sword is going to be around for a very, very, long time."

rushhour.com: "... their sound is certainly unique, the product of years spent honing their special craft (...) these tunes are fully customised for rigorous car-testing, and destined to rumble dancefloors everywhere."

XLR8R.com: "... treat your ears to a taste of futuristic hip-hop infused with bass-heavy dance beats, spacey soundscapes, and vocal contributions from lyrical luminaries"
