Endemika Records + Ooh La La
Earlier this year I met a young dude from London named Harvey Tatsu Jones with an interesting story and wild taste in music. He is from Japan, lived in Santiago for 8 years, and is now based in London. Talk about world traveller! We got to talking and found we had similar taste in music. I would now introduce you to his label: ENDEMIKA
We’ve decided to collaborate on some playlists and share each other’s music across the pond. I’ve picked some personal favorites from his catalog and created a playlist on SoundCloud to showcase the awesome production and Harvey’s amazing taste. Check out the tunes and and let me know what you think by re-sharing, favoriting, and commenting on the playlist.

Ace Reporter Audiotree Session
HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2014
I was talking to Chris from Ace Reporter the other week about Halloween and what we were both planning to do with ourselves. We got to talking about Halloween music, creepy soundscapes, and the underlying question: what does Halloween sound like? Danny Elfman quickly came up, which of course led us to Oingo Boingo and their song “Dead Man’s Party”. Chris started playing around with his own cover of the strange composition. Check out videos below to see the original (highly entertaining video) and a sample of Chris from Ace Reporter’s strange interpretation of the tune sans Danny Elfman’s epic eyeliner.
In-Flight Safety Release “Conversationalist” OUT NOW
IN-FLIGHT SAFETY
“Conversationalist”
OUT NOW
Download on iTunes
Stream on Spotify
In-Flight Safety release their third album “Conversationalist” available now via Ooh La La Records and on iTunes, Spotify, and every other digital retailer under the sun. After a busy week in NYC for CMJ Music Marathon the band played to packed crowds in New Hampshire and Maine on their way home to Halifax. The band will be touring in support of the album through winter and spring 2015.
In-Flight Safety have created an album that is true to their history, but is their most adventurous and honest yet. The ten tracks on Conversationalist have guitar hooks that will get stuck in your head and make you want to dance all night, but the imagery is more mysterious. Mixed by Gus van Go (The Stills, Hollerado) in Brooklyn NY, Conversationalist is a study of beauty in opposites, and this record is both pragmatic and ethereal – it builds and burns, leaving you wanting more. It’s a love letter and a breakup in one album.
The Juno and Much Music Video Award nominated group has heard their music in an incredible collection of TV series such as The Office, Chuck, Vampire Diaries, Degrassi TNG, Rookie Blue, among many others. Their new track Animals was recently featured in a Telus promo ad campaign. The group has performed at many festivals such as SXSW in Austin, TX, Great Escape in Brighton, UK, CMJ in New York City and Liverpool Sound City in Liverpool, UK.
