Some free mp3 files to accompany the release of JIMMY EDGAR - HOT RAW SEX single featuring Jimmy Edgar extended mix, Machinedrum rmx, and Kris Wadsworth edit. THEOPHILUS LONDON is a rapper, songwriter and producer from Brooklyn. Theo & Jimmy got together and banged this one out. JIMMY EDGAR - HOT RAW SEX (featuring Theophilus London) via XLR8R MAG: "Any more posts like this and we might have to change our website's name to xlr8rpresentsjimmyedgar.com. But there's obviously a reason the prodigious producer keeps showing up in our webpages, so we'll happily continue with our Edgar-mania, including this excellent remix of his new album's first single by UK DJ/producers Instra:mental (pictured above). This version of "Hot, Raw, Sex" (anyone else curious about that second comma?) makes the tune less of a celebration of pulling an all-nighter with a special someone and more of an exploration into the depraved longings of an extremely lonely sociopath. Edgar's chilly production aesthetic is still intact, but Instra:mental turns the original's '80s-funk vibe on its head—transforming it into an ominous, churning bass tune propelled by skittering beat and synth work. You can catch Jimmy Edgar touring North America in support of XXX, next month." Click here to download the Instra:mental remix and make sure you sniff around the XLR8R site for more Jimmy Edgar material. Including his remix of "Island Barbados". Oh, and if you're really good at this interweb thing you could even find the Machinedrum remix for free. |

"Taking their name from the famous porn star Tracy Lords, they try to pay homage to her talents to subert morals and good taste, basically beacuse they want to tease you and provoke a reaction. Punk as fuck, that’s the way they like it." "Tracy Recordings is a fresher than fresh new label from Barcelona. A product of endless sweaty nights in underground nightclubs and other dubious hot spots, it’s the Brainchild of four of the most eager minds in Barcelona’s elecronic scene." Jimmy Edgar has remixed the latest installment of Tracy TR003. Bitcode "For Trash (Jimmy Edgar Remix)" bolts the dancefloor like a pulsating jack hammer pushing and pulling in the same effect that Tracy had on a tense situation, moisturizer included. |

Someone is back with an ultra special release on the new label co-run by Richie Hawtin's M-nus corporation, ITEMS&THINGS. Jimmy's favorite Dj from Detroit, Magda, lets this one go on her label (with partners RunStopRestore) and will sure be one of the sweat sexed designs of 09 to hit & bloody the dancefloor. "Funktion of your Love" features two remixes, one by Seth Troxler and a rare acid washed Plus Device affiliated B-side called "Young Thing". The main track is instrumental and although the vox didnt make the cut, we will be releasing that version for free shortly after it comes out. "Funktion of your Love" has gone through a plethora of generations including a cover by New Look (Adam Pavao & Sara Ruba). Its origins lie in a vocal pop track by Jimmy which is featured on the creatively delayed 'Deeper' LP which is still in production and looking to see the light of day this Autumn 2009. Release Date September 7 (Vinyl) and September 9 (Digital) 2009. |

Members of Plus Device have come together to rerelease music once again. Rushhour NL has put out Creepy Autograph which originally appeared on Valentines Connexion out of Detroit in 1996. Rumoured to be involved have led speculation to many people but who really has contributed to these projects and to which extent remains a mystery. Creepy Autograph MURDERSEX 7" 2 Reviews from Boomkat: Creepy Autograph 'Murder Sex' Creepy Autograph 'Erase in Mind' |

Plus Device released "Body Heat" Single and "Puncture" LP on Hefty Records in 2006, a 10 year anniversary from collaborating and releasing anonymous tracks with Creepy Autograph from Detroit. The secret is out as to some who are involved, but members have circulated through the years being an equal ratio of male and female counterparts. Don't try and go to Plus Device dot Com because an adult company bought out the web domain to try and capitalize on fan hits while retaining the name "Plus De Vice". "The newest signings to Hefty drop their debut EP just in time for some spring break dance party extravaganza. Plus Device is a secret side project of two well known electronic producers why is it secret? I'm not really sure. But if it's on Hefty it's narrowing down the possibilities in my mind. Regardless of who the duo actually is, this EP is bound to get some people on the dance floor. Obviously taking influence from the start of electronica and some 80's sensibilities for good measure, Plus Device is going to be a hot name on the tongues of DJ's in the months to come. Big beats and thick synth-lines dominate their sound. Housing only four cuts, and three of them being remixes of the title track, this one might be strictly for the dance crew. But it has perked my interested for the full length that is supposed to be out sometime this summer. I mean, how can you not get down with a group that has a song titled "You Know I'm VIP" on their debut?"
"Plus Device... is... well, all I can tell you is the fact that Plus Device is "two well-known producers" - that's about as detailed as my actual description of the artist can get because Plus Device is one of those top-secret projects the label won't tell anyone about, so that's it. Really. It sounds like some kind of Detroit electro funk, which it basically is: classic electro beat, squiggly bass grabs, robo voice telling you he wants your body heat. Its solid dope stuff. One of the big reasons for this is because the record, the Body Heat EP, is being released by the Chicagoland Hefty Records, known for their solid experimental electronic and instrumental Hip-Hop releases (ie: Eliot Lipp, whose track "Real Tragic" I posted back in October). RIYL: Cybotron, Mantronix, Drexciya, Depth Charge records, Rephlex records (esp. Ceephax Acid Crew), DMX Krew's Breakin' records, etc. So, go ahead and do the robot at your desk, or in the car on the way home from work, because its nearly the weekend, and that is reason enough to celebrate. "From poppy, flirtatious songs like 'Body Heat' to the drugged and dragged-out acid cut 'Our Pleasures' to the downright animalistic booty-bass of 'Sexual Harassment', they just don't turn out club music as fun and enjoyable as Plus Device anymore." "Serious electo-funk for the Egyptian Lover / vocoder lover in all of us. Hot." -XLR8R |

Jimmy Edgar is now a known user of Apogee Digital Electronics hardware. Unparalleled sound quality is something Jimmy has sought after ever since the dawn of the digital age. Converting analog sound into binary can come through somewhat dull if you are not using the right hardware for your application. "Since switching to Apogee for my 'color strip' LP released on Warp Records in 2006, Apogee has been the center of my dancefloor design work. Whether I am recording with mics, analog synths, reel tape, or the lowest of fidelity signals, Apogee has lifted the veil from stale sound of my previous soundcards to pure pristine imagined SOUND. The sheer vitality of sound quality from Apogee convertors have brought life back into computer music for me and I'm not one to really endorse any particular products unless Ive fallen in love" Jimmy Edgar on the Apogee Duet |

It's nothing new that the realization of a collapsing music industry is going to set new standards. One of such is the gift of free music. Giving equals positivity and if you know anything about the Law of Attraction, you must give at least half of what you expect in return. Yes, meaning buying music too if you deem worthy. With that, we present a new remix by Jimmy Edgar. Aux88, one of the pioneers of Detroit Electro has asked Jimmy Edgar to create a version of their new single "Mad Scientist". Paying homage to a list of inspirations including Patrice Rushen, Dopplereffekt, Derrick May, Prince, Adonis, Glass, and Kleeer on the Jimmy Edgar palette, this is the future of music from the urban roots of Detroit, and many more. Jimmy has now reserved his Detroit influences to be displayed through only certain projects, since his multifaceted work in media is always expanding.

In various news of April 2009, Jimmy Edgar returns from a short stint of new live shows in Los Angeles. Boobytrap, a local lesbian party, was a hit which heard Jimmy droppin homemade mixes of Posatronix/Michael Jackson, Technotronic/808 beats, Mtume and Cassie pitched up electro speed, and Prince over early DBX/Plastikman loops. Jimmy is back in Detroit working diligently on new music, film, and a series of digital artwork to be released soon (see above sample.) For some interested reason, 'Jimmy Edgar Interview' is one of the more popular searches on Youtube for users looking for Jimmy. Two mysterious interviews are to be released soon for the blogs EVB & IHateU<3BB. Links to be released when the editors have finalized the stories. Myspace features two new Jimmy Edgar trax. "Want2Doit(Edit)" released on Detroit Underground and available on Itunes (as "Wanna Do It") and "Late Night Operation featuring Theophilus London" a reinterpretation of Machinedrum which will be available for free mp3 very soon. |

Here we go with another anonymous type release from the megalabel Rush Hour (Netherlands). Their new sub-label, Night Moves, has decided to release a rare Jimmy Edgar track called "Lips Sealed" under the autograph NOIR FRICTION. This single, MOVE1, will be released April 12th 2009. Here is what Rush Hour had to say about it: "Jimmy Edgar is back, this time under his Noir Friction alter ego to deliver a raw warehouse styled cut. A very basic, yet catchy track that sticks after the first play. Comes in vocal and instrumental mix. House at its purest." ...and without a doubt we love bad reviews just as much as good ones, here is one from Spoonfed. It's about time they hand out a review that isn't simply mediocre: "I'm down with almost any sexual fetish you care to name so the prospect of some Dominatrix House from Warp's Jimmy Edgar, operating under his guise of Noir Friction, might seem just the nipple clamp I need. However this minimalist, insipid, sub-house track, that seems to sample the guy from Saw recorded through a fully zipped gimp suit, is about as aurally arousing as a Pat Butcher sex tape. Truly music to make you want to crawl down the nearest K hole and never return." 1.5/5 Jonathan Sebire, who says music taste "is important" while calling himself an intellectual pervert |

Regretfully we are announcing the end of Matthew Declerck, who some of you recognize from his work as Softcore. Matthew took his life on Friday the 13th of March 2009. Best friend of Jimmy, Matt's talents were uniquely unparalleled and always looming with thick emotion and clawmarks on his closet door. Days before his suicide, he uploaded a few new trax, a few of which featured Jimmy Edgar beats and production. Jimmy has no official comments at the moment but can recall his first day of highschool in which he met Matthew. That day blossomed a strange, yet tight, friendship that would end in tears and too many questions. Matt Declerck will be sorely missed. This is even more tragic when you consider the loss of Charlie Cooper (Telefon Tel Aviv) who was also a good friend of Jimmy Edgar. Charlie's cause of death is still undetermined, yet many believe suicide. Our hearts go out to the friends and family. In lighter news, the above photo is one of few press photos ever to be released of Matthew Declerck, taken by Jimmy Edgar. Jimmy Edgar Photography has recently seen its first international cover on H Magazines 10 Anniversary issue. In addition, Spains H Mag has published Jimmy Edgar's full fashion story entitled 'Adaptable Color.' More info here. |

New release "Nothing is Better" song featured on XLR8R.com : "Jimmy Edgar is one of those artists you imagine doesn't like to sit still for more than a few minutes at a time. Besides fashioning dark, driving electronic music under his own name, he also heads up house- and funk-influenced project Her Bad Habit, serves as executive producer for X District, and is rumored to be one-half of electro duo Plus Device. Add to that his work as a fashion photographer (and the fact that he looks hotter in eyeliner than most women), and, well, it all makes him the type of guy you'd like to sit down and have a coffee with. His latest project finds the Detroit native once again working with brooding beats and unsettling rhythms that hint at something sinister waiting just around the corner (or in the case of the track's video, something sensual). Fans of this one should also check the flipside, a remix by Hefty Records founder John Hughes. The single will be offered as a donation-only release this month, free to download, with 100% of the proceeds going back to the artist. A digital copy will be available via retailers in November." -XLR8R |

Jimmy Edgar has released a new song called "Nothing is Better" with Moodgadget records. This new track is an ominous prequel that accompanies a video also directed by Jimmy. This is the first installment of all encompassing multimedia releases that will be exhibited online. Press release from Moodgadget : The title "Nothing is Better" is left open to interpretation by Jimmy. For example, it could mean "nothing else could be better" or, "nothing is definitely better than what we have here now." Listen and we think you'll agree, it doesn't get much better than this." "Nothing is Better" video featured on XLR8R.com : "Jimmy Edgar is a dark, dark dude. Of course, we've always known that about the Detroit-area native, who's been making sinister beats for a number of years now and was once praised for being one of the few men to make wearing eyeliner look cool. His latest video, for the single "Nothing is Better," features the producer's bristly electronic beats and a very skinny young lady getting rather hot and bothered under a flashing red light. It's a visually stimulating watch, though anyone with epileptic tendencies should proceed with caution." -XLR8R |

Jimmy Edgar and Stephen Mason (Beta Band) have teamed up for his project Black Affair. Stephen sought out Jimmy for a strict collaboration with his debut on V2 Records, "Pleasure Pressure Point." Upon their connexion gave flame to a magical musical exhibition. Along with mixing and filling in the album in NYC, Jimmy coproduced the intro track "PPP." Continuing this collaboration, along with having Jimmy design the graphics and packaging for the debut and all three singles, Stephen asked him to direct a video for "Its Real," in which they shot in a fashion photography studio depicting the two sides of a significant other. While they were at it, Jimmy also photographed Stephen for all of his press.
