DJ to tour with WEDIDIT collective
"Dark Red is a crafty Halloween excursion, but If Shlohmo’s really going to creep us out, he’s going to have to start screwing with reality again."
2015 is hereforth known as the year Shlohmo stepped everything up a level..
WeDidIt producer Purple swathes us in a moody-pop haze with new track Purple.. Lisbon-born, London-based artist Purple is a part of Shlohmo's LA-based label, WeDidIt, which is kind of like a tight, Wu-Tang style collective of producer weirdos. Cop his debut EP Salvation from 2013 to get an introductory feel for his dark, hypnotic sound. Purple's got a debut album, Silence & Remorse, coming out on WeDidIt around April - today the singer-songwriter gives us the first sample of that debut, by way of Extinction. The vocal-led track's an atmospheric, uplifting, alt-pop/R&B piece, that swings in and out of house-inclined moments. Stream below:
LA producer Shlohmo gives us the chilling visual accompaniment to new track Buried.. Shlohmo, AKA Henry Laufer, continues to take his work to scary new levels. A few weeks ago, the LA-native released Buried, a grim and obscure track off his forthcoming album Dark Red. Read about the track HERE.

It's like some surreal, bloody nightmare - closely resembling a retro horror flick - and is not for the faint-hearted. Watch below. Dark Red is set for an April 7 release. FAC
Shlohmo announces his first album in four years, Dark Red, delivers heavy first single Buried.. After a brief Twitter lead-in, at the witching hour last night, Henry Laufer, AKA Shlohmo, delivered new track Buried, the second bout of new music we've heard from the popular Los Angeles underground producer, after he gave us the broody Emerge From Smoke last month. He also announced an album, Dark Red - his first solo offering since 2011's Bad Vibes, with the exception of No More, his incredible EP collab with Jeremih last year. It will feature both Buried and Emerge From Smoke, as well as a collaboration with fellow WeDiDiT bro D33J. Shlohmo's self-described the direction he's taking on his new album: "I wanted this one to be loud, and not just loud but really really f***ing loud. I wanted the sound of the thing to be devastating and violent...as if Electric Wizard tried to make an R&B record, or Boards of Canada meets Burzum by the River Styx.” Indeed, Buried's already giving us the h
