    Explaining Funktronica :: Radio Interview

    BLUSIRKUT breaks down the postmodern deconstructivist approach to live funk electronica with DJ Spenny on KZFR California. The band talks about their beginnings during Karl Denson's Tiny Universe soundchecks and their technological approach to world music, acid/latin jazz, funk, downtempo, R&B and live Drum & Bass... They also discuss their connection to the Allman Brothers Band and having a live visualist as a full-time member of BLUSIRKUT...

    BLUSIRKUT Live at Bobolink (With Guests)

    The end of summer is upon us and fall is quickly approaching. We've had a great year so far and want to share some of the live BLUSIRKUT vibe from the warm festival months... So as promised, this is an hour and a half long selection from our performance at the Bobolink Festival 2007 with guest musicians and 'On The One' with John Staten and Jesse Molloy. It's a 90MB download but if you're into live recordings, this was a great show. I can't say that the quality is the best because the group that was supposed to be in charge of recording clearly walked away from the mixing board and just let it ride... but the performance is still exceptional... The house was grooving! BLUSIRKUT Live at Bobolink :: 90MB :: 1:35:00 12:14 Noisey Stabber 11:45 BLU 08:46 Bs Lodge Jam 11:59 Samba D 19:44 Hip-Hop 21:23 MJ - Afrobeat Jam 10:03 Lauren Hill We're gearing up for another West Coast run in October and are still in deep space construction on the album so stay tuned & thanks for listening!

    Lauren :: BLUSIRKUT Live @ Humboldt Brews

    This is a pretty little ditty you might recognize :) The man tearing it up on the classical guitar is Mr. Brian Jordan (BLUSIRKUT, KDTU) who also happens to be the guitarist for Lauren Hill. There's a little feedback at the very beginning but it clears up by the time the song kicks in around 2 minutes... the classical guitar meistro steps in around 4:45... absolutely not to be missed... Coming up next on the podcast will be a full hour from BLUSIRKUT live @ Bobolink Music Festival... Guest Musicians include John Staten & Jesse Molloy from 'On The One' and Karl Denson... stay tuned!

    Noisy Stabber

    As per our conversation on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WJIx0k_3lQ) I am posting the track 'Noisy Stabber' for my man 'FunkerPunkerJunker'... It's been one of my absolute favorites from the get go and is normally served up right after 'Electric Sounds' (the first track on this podcast)... they have an excellent contrast together... On another tip, the Bobolink videos are up on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/blusirkut - more are coming along with a Meltone live cut of "I'm your Venus, I'm your fire, your desire..." Fantastic... If anyone wants something special posted to the podcast from youtube or off of the website (www.blusirkut.com) feel free to post a comment about it or send us an e-mail... we are here to please your senses... werd...

    Improv 2 :: The Tekwise

    I promised so here it is... one of the first electro jams from BLUSIRKUT, entirely improvisational, immediately after the 2006 Burning Man Festival. It's a beautiful 6 minute build into a sonic masterpiece... even if you're not a big fan of this style, stay tuned because we're going to post the Bobolink Festival performances with On The One and Karl Denson sitting in - coming soon...

    BLUSIRKUT performs Live @ Dulcineas 100th Monkey in Denver, CO on 9/16/06 - shortly after performing @ the Burning Man Festival. This is a hip-shaking samba track updated with some world flavors and live drum & bass. It's got about a 4 minute build before the horns kick in and a 2 minute latin-style drum solo by Ryan Krieger at the end. I'll make sure the song right after this from Dulcines (Salt Lake - Atmospheric D&B) is up in the next few days 'cause it's one of my favorites... and THEN we'll bring you the full on BLU electronic experience... so stay tuned!

    BURNING MAN 2006 :: BLUSIRKUT @ Fringe Camp

    Rockin That Black Rock! Burning Man 2006 www.blusirkut.com First of all... I want to hear a HUGE round of thanks and applause for those hard working and generous cats over at Fringe Camp... They made our time in the desert such a wonderful and special event. So give it up for the Fringe!!! http://www.fringecamp.com/ They did such an amazing job on Sparky (http://www.fringecamp.com/spaceark/)... not to forget our good friends our friends at OBOP either who graced us with a tent on the esplanade during the burn... Thank you Tyler for creating the spark that helped cover BLUSIRKUT in playa dust... Thanks also to all the friends who came out to support the 'Sparky' show from Paradox Lounge, Space Cowboys, Port Townsend Crew, Frank & Jim and their family, and countless others... you all help make this event worthwhile to me and everyone who knows you... FOR THE RECORD: everything you're hearing was improvised, created, & performed live on the spot. This was our first time playing with our new drummer, Ryan Krieger, and what better a place for it than the true trial by fire... we are very fortunate to have him in our family now. Pictures are up on www.blusirkut.com/photos!!! (and videos too) I hope all of your burns were bright and full of laughter... please let us know what you thought and how we can help make your experiences better next year... one love...

  10. Electric Sounds

    Electric Sounds

    This is the legendary opening track from BLUSIRKUT. The video is performed 'LIVE' during shows by Alton Parker and what you are watching is one of those recordings released as the music video... http://www.blusirkut.com BIOGRAPHY: With their first (self-titled) E.P. release, the musicians of 'KDTU' step up and deliver this fresh new sound for rump-shaking aficionados searching for the perfect groove 'BLUSIRKUT' subtly blends 'St. Germaine' style riffs and 'Thievery Corporation' beats with the improvisational dynamic of a live band - infusing their long and distinguished history as industry leading jazz/funk musicians with cutting edge technology. To top it off, the band's visualist performs tightly integrated 'live' visuals designed in direct tandem with the music (this ain't your mother's VJ)... Originating from Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, these virtuoso's have played venues around the world from the Fillmore in San Francisco to Madison Square Garden and the Blue Note in Tokyo. They have pioneered ground-breaking grooves on a global stage for years and now they have unleashed their full talent and imagination into this deliciously experimental live dance music, surpassing all expectations and leaving current dance culture in the dust. What started as a collaboration in the recording studio quickly became a full blown project to explore new styles (Hip-Hop, Nu-Jazz, Drum-&-Bass, etc.), ultimately harvesting the best qualities of these sounds to perform live what most musicians can only do in a studio. " BLUSIRKUT" is the sublime union of technology, talent, experience, enlightenment, and devotion - serving as a platform for the next generation of production, composition & expression. Armed with an arsenal of video projectors, digital effects, laptops, synthesizers, and drum machines - combined with a stunning array of traditional instruments and techniques - their sole intent is simple, they make you move... and they're good at it... BLUSIRKUT IS: Brian Jordan - Guitar/Bass Chris Littlefield - Trumpet/Keys David Veith - Keys/Synth Bass Ryan Krieger - Drums/Programming Alton Parker - Visuals/Light WEBSITE: http://blusirkut.com DISCOGRAPHY: BLUSIRKUT E.P tracks on bluTUNES radio here: http://www.blusirkut.com/player.htm Listen to & download the live Humboldt show here: http://www.blusirkut.com/playlist/live-humboldt-brews (the 'Lauren' track is kickin' - check out BJ's guitar) Watch the video 'SOLD[i]ER: Live in Seattle': http://www.blusirkut.com/videos/sold-i-er-live-in-seattle BLUSIRKUT blew the other two local bands away & were fantastic. A new kind of world funktronica that I found far superior to most of the organic techno (eg. zilla/disco biscuits/the duo). BLUSIRKUT played some updated sweet acid jazz with world flavors. It was great to see the guys in their own vehicle! -Upstream Entertainment Jamming with Victor Wooten: http://www.blusirkut.com/video/Victor-Wooten-1 http://www.blusirkut.com/media-4 My Podcast Alley feed! {pca-8d2a8c2c96c2334f29e11df6e00cc452}
