As many of you, David MacFadyen, Professor and Chair at the Dept. of Slavic Languages & Literatures at the University of California, got into Pixelord's music and wrote this very interesting article about Alexey Devyanin's aliases. Here you'll find everything you ever wanted to know about the enigmatic lord from Moscow and the relation between his music and the outstanding art of Michael Dotson.
Definitely a good read!
Back on Pixelord, the man uploaded an exclusive self remix of Quartz Boy on Soundcloud. Enjoy the (free) vocoder madness!

Hot on the heels of Pixelord's "Lucid Freaks pt. 1" comes this eleven-track remix compilation. "Lucid Freaks pt. 2 - The Remixes" features a couple of Russia's hottest producers, including RBMA -participant DZA, Demokracy, OL and Miracle Libido (the latter two as known from their Monday Jazz tape). The Lord himself reworked a tune exclusively for this record.
From the US, we got AshTreJinkins and Chocolate Girlwith their bass-heavy interpretations of Steppa styles. Netherland knob twiddlers Jameszoo and Coco Bryce re-crunk the Pixelord funk, and finally Austria-based producer Abby Lee Tee is dropping in for a mix. One hell of a line-up, you bet. Art comes from Michael Dotson, once again.

The Pixelord is Alexey Devyanin. He's a Moscow-based veteran of experimental music, best-known for his Gultskra Artikler moniker. When we got to know that his new project is about BEATS, it was instantly clear that is has to be groundbreaking great.
His debut four-track EP "Lucid Freaks" brings forth a mixture of spliffed-out 8bit riddims, stumbling Hip Hop beats and a pinch of Euro Dance glam. However unique, the weirdo plastic Pop of Glasgow's Hudson Mohawke is echoed in his tunes as well as bass-driven digital Reggae, Jahtari-style. The artwork of L.A. painter Michael Dotson suits the Pixelord music perfectly.
Watch out for Lucid Freaks Pt. 2 the remixes!
