Shlohmo, Tokimonsta, and Daedelus by Lainna Fader

“Tokimonsta joined Shlohmo onstage for the tail end of his set, and then, without skipping a beat, started in on her own. After weeks of touring and two killer Coachella sets, she had the confidence of a seasoned performer, smiling as she pushed her hair out of her eyes just long enough to see how excited her audience looked.”  

“This is Pomona, right?” Shlohmo asked the crowd after taking the stage. “I live in LA, and I never leave my house.” After driving up from Highland Park, we were similarly disoriented, especially when we realized the Glass House doesn’t have a bar. Didn’t really matter, though, since 90 percent of the audience that night was underage, and the rest of us made the wise decision to grab drinks beforehand.”

“Wearing one of his many vintage tailcoats, Daedelus reworked his own material, mixed recognizable vocals—including James Blake!—and about a million other less-obvious samples into one tight aural texture, an unrelenting hourlong experiment in light and sound.”
