Caffe DaVinci
DeLand, FL
performing with: Last Year's Model

Set I:
Bordeaux -> dwntmp06 -> untitled 1 -> Gare D'Est-> coolshit -> Venezia -> Port du Bessin -> Mein Schatzi (Remix)

Last Year's Model played an excellent headlining set, very high energy, catchy, experimental and exciting live music. They burnt the Caffe DOWN! Not to mention the fact that they were by far some of the nicest people that I have ever met. Tyler, Mark, Collin, Melissa and Evan are always welcome at the Caffe!

I closed the night out with an indie electro DJ Set during which I spun the likes of:

The Black Kids
The Black Ghosts
Eliot Lipp
ZZT
Justice
MSTRKRFT
LCD Soundsystem
Hercules and the Love Affair
and some other stuff...

here is what you missed

First new final track from the upcoming album has been uploaded for your listening pleasure.

It is titled "Bordeaux"... ENJOY!

Greetings Friends,

Been back in the States for a while now, taking care of some bizness and been working on music is well. After setting up / modding up the apartment / studio stuff I've been holed up a whole workin on new tracks and some other conceptual stuff for your aural enjoyment. So, the new album, the first full length Benny Loco album proper, is my current creative labor. Its a concept piece based on all of the stops on my recent romantic adventure through the European continent. There are lots of exciting things happening in the European music scene and the trip, my lover, the sights and definitely the sounds all inspired me as I travelled, took mental notes, and made musical memories for further production. The work I've do so far accounts for about 30 percent of the album, with a lot of backtracking, re-recording and re-editing ahead of me in anticipation of new production methods I've been working on. I have no idea when this album will drop, but lets just say... I hope its sooner rather than later. I'll be putting my all into this one and really hope you all enjoy it when its done.

Tentative Track List:
1) Gare Du Nord
2) Port Du Bessin
3) Bordeaux
4) Freiburg im Breisgau
5) Zurich HBF
6) Venezia (Santa Lucia)
7) Ljubljana
8) Graz
9) Praha (The Giant Metronome)
10) Munchen (Ein Jahr)
11) Dusseldorf
12) Frankfurt Flughafen (Tschuss)

So far preliminary work has yielded a healthy mix of downtempo, electro, house, broken beat and drumnbass type output. I'm very excited as you may be able to tell and look forward to released this labor of love on you as soon as possible.

Until then, be on the lookout for a pre-release single... most likely Bordeaux, which has a funky hip hop feel to it.
Peace.
Word.
Ian.
