Triple Speak + Sequencer

we met this dude asmo at bent fest this year. he was running a workshop on building dub sirens. as you can see from this video, dude knows what he's doin'. check more of his vids out to see some fresh electronics.

Filth


if you haven't heard of v snares yet, you must be living under a rock. us ken rei dudes were lucky enough to share a bill and a green room with him, otto von schirach, and cyrusrex in chicago last june while touring with dino sally pants. this dude is on another level and his newest album, filth, delivers on the sick production you've come to expect but also gives us acid heads a boner with plenty of 303 bleeps and squeals. this album is out now planet mu.

i'd punch an old lady for this



ken rei needs this so bad .. how much do you think this costs?

act like you know

ACT LIKE YOU KNOW. from ACT LIKE YOU KNOW. on Vimeo.


i know nobody is going to watch all 20 minutes of this.. but these dudes are from akron/cleveland .. and are crazy good. so it;s worth flipping through to watch these dudes kill all the local spots.. i already spotted hights highschool, coventry, tri-c metro, W.25th, bum park, and hella downtown spots.. can you find anymore?

get bent

if you're into circuit bending . or synthesizer modding poppycock. .. then you have to check out this dudes site .. casper electronics .. he's got some of the craziest bends i;ve ever seen. . . plus we saw him perform at this years bentfest .. and he straight killed it!.. oh and if you;re ballin .. some of his new stuff is for sale.

Monotone Sun

it's hard to sing monotone.

Wearing Sweatpants

we're gonna put 40 more ken rei "wearing sweatpants" discs together since the first edition went so fast. the disc was compiled by irsten and is a mash-up of ken rei tracks, ideas and offshoots.

SEGA Synth Sauce

controlling old skool console sound chips??? sign me up...... this dude little-scale is on some other shit. he's got his techno fingers in all sorts of goods. he helped me with my arduino project's code which i put some little tweaks on and made a killer polyphonic little synth based on this original design.

set it off on the left .. . . y'all



Werd.. so this is the first post of our new shee-aht. I;ve been wanting to start a blog for a while now. . i just haven;t found the right sort of focus or glue to hold all of my posts together.. and i always thought the best blogs have a main idea or theme to revolve around. Well i figured it out .. sort of. . i mean.. this blog is going to be centered around Ken Rei. . but by no means is it all about Ken Rei. We will post all the latest Ken Rei news, shows, songs, etc. but also everything else that is keeping our interest at the moment. . art/design, music, movies, bmx, funny fail videos, vidjya games, whatever.. so follow, read, watch, love, hate, comment.. just enjoy . .oh .. and try not to get too hung up on my busted ass typing style. . i spent alot of time IM chating with people when i was in New Zealand . . so when i type . its sort of how i talk. .. when i pause to think or don;t have anything to say i fill the gaps with all these .. . .. blips .. and bloops. or whatnot .. so unless i;m writing an english essay, i don;t pay too much attention to proper grammar . .. so just deal with it!
