Throughout his prolific career Daedelus has released singles and EPs for Brainfeeder, All City, Magical Properties, Alpha Pup Records, Warp, and Stones Throw. He’s regarded by many as a producer’s producer and a musician’s musician, frequently collaborating with fellow artists and audiophiles to explore new sounds and techniques in the realm of electronic music.

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.

With genuine kid-like enthusiasm we present the first installment of Room 205: Episode Seven with Daedelus. “Scaling Snowdon (Slow Climb Version)”. The second and third installments will be available April 11th and 18th respectively.

Visual art plays an important role in Mary Pearson and Rob Barber’s collaboration. The two make video projections for their stage shows and create their own album artwork. In this way and others, High Places challenge the conventional parameters of a rock band and instead give us a multi-sensory aesthetic partnership that continually defies expectations. Today we’re excited to present “On Giving Up”— video #2 from the band’s recent visit to Room 205.

Today we’re excited to present “On Giving Up”— performance #2 from the band’s recent visit to Room 205.

Throughout its nearly five years of existence, High Places has toured extensively and performed in a multitude of environments. Whether playing at the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan or in an industrial warehouse in Santiago, Chile, the band’s enveloping sound and propulsive energy allow the music to translate to a variety of venues.

Much to our enjoyment, they recently came by Room 205 to play inside our enormous yarn sculpture. To launch this very special episode we bring you “On A Hill In A Bed On A Road In A House”.

Incase is pleased to premiere the second installment of Room 205 with La Sera, the solo project of Vivian Girls’ Katy Goodman. A few days before embarking on La Sera’s first UK tour, Katy stopped by Room 205 – along with hired guns Jennifer Prince and Jonathan Weinberg – to blast through a few songs from Katy’s upcoming full-length on Hardly Art. This week, Incase has unveiled the second song from that session – “Never Come Around.” The first song, “Devils Hearts Grow Gold,” premiered last week. Both are available today for viewing and audio streaming through Room 205’s virtual home. The third and final performances will air Monday, January 17th.

Room 205 is a rehearsal space in Downtown Los Angeles that has been converted into an audio recording studio. As a means to foster goodwill between artists, music lovers and Incase, Room 205 will play host to touring and local bands who will each perform three songs and sit for casual interviews.

Inside Room 205, visitors are able to watch intimate performances and interviews, stream audio of the tracks and view photos of the sessions in the improvised space filled with recording equipment, sunlight and abundant creativity. Previous episodes of Room 205 feature Abe Vigoda, Crystal Antlers, and Puro Instinct.

Founding Puro Instinct (formerly Pearl Harbor) members Piper and Skylar Kaplan began playing together in the summer of ‘08 with no experience and no idea what they were getting themselves into. After a year or so, they put together a proper band (Dodi Porter, Jessie Clavin, Mike Baum, and Crazy Murray) to begin crafting their ethereal pop confections.

Armed with a barrage of gorgeously intertwining guitar lines, vocals drenched in swooning reverb, and a subtle tsunami of dark synth melodies, Puro Instinct aim to release their debut full-length on Mexican Summer in Spring 2011.
