Remember Kemado Records? Yep, us neither. That’s because Mexican Summer—and to a lesser extent, the Ford & Lopatin-curated Software Label—has gradually eclipsed its sister label in its sheer volume of releases, records that celebrate artists outside of the psych-rock/’hipster-metal’ corner Kemado painted itself into. (Why, just this week Kemado put out a Pink Floyd-y LP called Center of the Sun.)

This change couldn’t be more apparent in Mexican Summer’s spring release schedule, a progression of eagerly anticipated LPs from the likes of Light Asylum, Peaking Lights and Best Coast. Have a listen to new and old tracks from the Brooklyn imprint in the hefty 15-track sampler below…

THE SELF-TITLED INTERVIEW: Oneohtrix Point Never

Interview by Andrew Parks

Now that he’s gotten featured in The New Yorker; handed the keys to Mexican Summer‘s in-house studio and a vanity imprint with the other half of Ford & Lopatin; and wrapped his most universally acclaimed record (Replica) yet, it’s safe to say that Daniel Lopatin’s had a hell of a year. He’s also clearly exhausted from months of cross-continental touring, recording, zine-making and whatever else entails maintaining the self-stylized world of Oneohtrix Point Never. That said, Lopatin took the time to answer some probing questions via E-mail, although he avoided anything related to “hypnagogic pop” or “cosmic synth recordings.” We can’t blame him.

Have a look below, and be sure to check out Lopatin’s classic Needle Exchange mix here…

LONG PLAYER OF THE DAY: Borden, Ferraro, Godin, Halo & Lopatin, ‘FRKWYS Vol. 7 (Limited Vinyl Pressing)’

The Artist/Album: Borden, Ferraro, Godin, Halo & Lopatin, FKYWYS Vol. 7 (RVNG, 2011)

The Reason(s) We Can’t Stop Listening: Did Altered Zones hold an all-star draft or something? At any rate, it’s nice to see a Moog-approved minimalist composer mixing it with some of the underground’s finest synth cadets. All in the hopes of distilling a two-day improv session into five concentrated bursts of macerated brain matter. A journey, in other words; one that’s much more focused than the sum of its parts, with no clear leader, solo sequences, or broad key strokes bumping against the greater good.

FREE ASSOCIATION: Stream Ford & Lopatin’s ‘Channel Pressure’ LP and Read Their Track-By-Track Commentary

If you’ve ever fallen asleep with the TV on, only to wake up in the middle of the night screaming alongside a Richard Simmons commercial, then you have a general idea of the world Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never) and Joel Ford (Tigercity) weaved together on their debut LP, Channel Pressure. A concept album cut under their alias Ford & Lopatin, it’s an “imaginary soundtrack for the adventures of Joey Rogers, mild-mannered teenager of the year 2082.”

Which is to say it sounds like a fever dream; caught somewhere in the twilight zone between R. Kelly and RoboCop, and written against a backdrop of poorly dubbed VHS tapes and the kind of woozy videos Lopatin occasionally produces for his “sunsetcorps” YouTube channel. (Our personal favorite: his chopped & screwed “Lady In Red” clip, which rescues the original’s hypnotic hook from the Top 40 trash bin.)

In the following exclusive, Ford & Lopatin share the stories behind their skewered pop songs, from the diamond-edged mixing desk work of Guillermo Scott-Herren (Prefuse 73) to the panic attacks and pink Cadillacs that inform Joey’s midnight movie storyline…
