The always amazing beat junkie, the juxtaposing freak of musical creation, ladies and gentlemen...ALFRED DAAAARLINGTON!!! No wait its, Alfred Weissberg-Roberts....hold on a minute, its both of those, but we all know him as...DAEDELUS! The name has a combination of influences ranging from James Joyce’s “A Portrait of the Artist…” to the father of Icarus to a reference to Robotech/Macross Plus. However the name came about, its all about the music from this maestro who has collaborated which such mad, mad artists like Busdriver, MF Doom, TTC, Mike Ladd, Absract Rude, Madlib, Holopaw, the One AM Radio, Michael Johnson, and High Priest. On top of working with all those wonderful cats he has also put out 11 major albums over the past 9 years on such labels as Plug Research, Mush Records, Laboratory Instinct, Brainfeeder, and Big Dada/Ninja Tune.

This release, LOVE TO MAKE MUSIC TO, was released on July 15, 2008 on the always exceptional Ninja Tune. Video for the single "Fair Weather Friends" here.

He also formed a husband & wife group called The Long Lost towards the end of '08. Daedelus' newest release to hit the shelves - digital and what's left of the physical record stores - is an EP titled "Righteous Fists Of Harmony" (3/22/10) on Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder. It is much more similar in style to his work on The Long Lost and we're always thrilled with his eclectic compositions.

The man is completely relentless and nothing can stop him from creating more music - stay tuned!
