Lover. Fighter. Prophet. Freak magnet. Time-traveler. Musician, photographer and designer Jimmy Edgar is a wayward star-child streaking across the cosmic dance-floor. Endowed with a supernatural feel for futuristic funk, the Detroit native has been bleeping and grinding about the Milky Way since he was a teenage humanoid. In 2001 at the tender of 18, his hyper-sexed microchip stylings caught the ear of Warp Records, where he cranked out his brand of amped-up laptop funk for the next eight years, culminating in the full-length classic Color Strip. Now 26, Edgar is shaking things up at German beat boutique !K7, with his new album XXX. "XXX sounds like strip-club music made by someone who, well, really loves strip clubs. This is not a surprise from an artist whose most famous track is 'I Wanna Be Your STD.' To put it another way: XXX sounds like what Lords of Acid album covers look like. XXX has attraction, sex, fucking, some afterglow. ... Though the source instruments remain analog keyboards and computers, XXX is a fairly straight pop-funk album." --Pitchfork

SF disco-freak-funk! "It’s rocket ships meets neon hotpants, meets teased hair, meets lazer beams, meets the zodiac, meets a 1970s hotel lobby and throw in a light pink pearlescent vibrator." --freedanger.com

"S.F. trio Boyz IV Men cranks out bass-driven tracks that set the dance floor on fire. Trevor Goosen and Josh Hill met in Sacramento, where they played together in Hella and Scene Index, before moving to San Francisco. Once in the Bay Area, Goosen met Aaron Rodriguez at their shared workplace, Tartine Bakery. Late nights hanging out and early mornings serving coffee led to the realization that the three have similar musical tastes: 'French electro, cosmic disco, Italo disco, N.Y. new disco, club.' ... Children's keyboards emitting disco beats, samplers screaming and Hill's dynamite drumming meld into a musical bomb that detonates the party. Never taking themselves too seriously, their songs (and band name) play with subtle rearrangements that create hilarious titles -- 'Gold Stains,' 'Wingz N' Thingz' and 'The Bomb Dot Com.'" --SFGate.com
