Daedelus

A lesson in electronic sonic labyrinths.

Overview

You’d think with a real name like Alfred Darlington and a background in jazz double bass, that the musician known as Daedelus would be a béret-wearing beatnik that plays in only the smokiest of jazz clubs. It couldn’t be any different.

The Los Angeles-based producer is an inventor of sorts, creating an eclectic range of electronic sonic labyrinths, ranging from intense to mellow and danceable to introspective. Self-described as the ‘founding father of the L.A. beat scene’, he is a part of the group Adventure Time and lo-fi folk band The Long Lost with his wife. He is also affiliated with the future roots radio station Dublab.

He has over two-dozen releases on a variety of labels and has performed shows for audiences on five continents, everywhere from Iceland to Istanbul.

Support from The Drum Runners, Addison Chase and Hu$tle Profits.
