Our final Room 205 installment with Daedelus, featuring a macabre reworking of the seminal track “Sundown” (Haunted Dub) from the 2006 album Denies The Day’s Demise (Mush Records).

We’re elated to present the third and final installment of Room 205 with Daedelus, featuring a macabre “Haunted Dub” reworking of the seminal track “Sundown” from the 2006 album Denies The Day’s Demise (Mush Records). Daedelus’ vision for his Room 205 project was to “…perform at a séance in a Victorian parlor… Conjuring the music, so to speak.” Is it spooky? Indeed it is, admirably so.

As an awe-inspiring live performer, gifted producer and in-studio session player, Alfred Darlington shapes the disparate elements of sound with a single-minded vision, chopping and splicing seemingly incongruous acoustic sources into works of staggering resonance. His new album Bespoke, is out now on Ninja Tune worldwide.

With great joy, we present to you the second installment of Room 205 Episode Seven, featuring Daedelus (with Young Dad) performing “One & Lonely (Lost Remix)” from the new album Bespoke.

Born Alfred Weisberg-Roberts in Santa Monica, CA, producer/instrumentalist Daedelus wanted to be an inventor from an early age. Despite the fact that he was formally trained on double bass and bass clarinet, had studied jazz at USC, and could play instruments such as the guitar and accordion, Daedelus chose to create electronic music, often incorporating samples from the ’30s and ’40s into his IDM and elliptical hip-hop.

An abundant composer, Daedelus has released several acclaimed albums as well as countless singles and side projects. In addition, he has been remixed by (and produced tracks for) many of his peers in the Los Angeles music community including Flying Lotus, Baths, The Gaslamp Killer, and numerous others from further afield.

Look for the third and final performance, “Sundown (Haunted Dub),” to premiere April 18th.

For his Room 205 episode, Daedelus wanted to re-imagine our space as a Victorian-era séance. So, with a bit of help from director Michael Reich and set designer Tamarra Younis, that’s exactly what he did.
