Dani Siciliano – Be My Producer

Dani Siciliano started her music career as both a DJ in San Francisco and as a vocalist with a jazz quartet. It was in San Francisco where she met Matthew Herbert who she would later collaborate with and ultimately saw Matthew co-produce both of her solo albums.

This track is taken from her second solo effort titled, “Slappers” that was release in 2006. “Be My Producer”, has a nice glitchy soundscape that showcases Dani Siciliano’s R&B vocals.

Shapeshifter – Electric Dream

We (the misses and I) caught Shapeshifter at DiscoCult at The Sugar Factory in Amsterdam Friday October 12, 2007. This was a great performance and I’m sure the “special” smoke in the air didn’t hurt either. The crowd was great, and Shapeshifter brought it, and found ways to keep taking it up a notch through the set. This was an explosive and vibrant show and one of the best I’ve seen in years.

Here’s a track they played that night called “Electric Dream”.

PS. Be sure not to confuse Shapeshifter (drum n bass) with The Shapeshifters (House)… and yes, I did confuse the two hence my warning.

PSS. More post plus videos from this event coming soon including the smashing DJ from Germany who followed the shapeshifter set, Lars Moston — btw, this guy killed it…
