Video: Magic Touch // “I Can Feel The Heat”.

This video comes via Altered Zones. Damon Palermo is the mind behind Magic Touch. His beats are infectious, and his reputation is rhythm. This video is a special one. Directed by Donuts’ Kat Matutina, it is visually addicting, and filmed entirely impromptu. The footage is from last month’s Beat Electric Dance Party, which was a super fun and sweaty night. Damon is a sweet friend who has even contributed to our little blog. Make sure to pick up the vinyl for this mega jammer at 100% Silk. Also, check out the mix Damon made for us back in April.

Brooklyn-based Innergaze (100% Silk, Cititrax), Steve Summers (Clone, LIES, Echovolt), and Rhythm Based Lovers (Future Times) are touring the California coast this week.

It all starts this Saturday (7/16) at Amnesia as OK Hole presents Innergaze with Bookworms (live), Robot Hustle and OK Hole DJs. If you’re not familiar, Innergaze is a BK based synth duo composed of Jason Letkiewicz & Aurora Halal. Back in September, Jason sent me a couple of tracks to play drums on. I recorded those at Phil Manley’s home studio. I’m stoked on their high heels on the wah wah pedal vibe – you don’t want to miss them live. One of those tracks, “Shadow Disco” premiered on Altered Zones in May, check out the video:

If you live for analog synth body music and just can’t get enough, then don’t miss Jason Letkiewicz’s alter-ego Steve Summers on Tuesday (7/19) at the High Fantasy party at Aunt Charlie’s. HF hosts Alexis Blair Penney, and Myles Cooper will DJ along with a set by Magic Touch (Damon Palermo – me).

Also, if you want to leave the city for some summer heat, you’re in luck: Steve Summers is playing in Belden on Friday (7/15) at the Sunset Campout 2011 with Miracles Club & more! After which Innergaze plans to debut in LA at Freak City on Sunday (7/17) — I’ll also be debuting my solo project, Magic Touch. Also playing is Pharoahs, plus DJ sets by LA Vampires, SFV Acid, and Let Him In.

To book end their S.Cal tour, Rhythm Based Lovers plays live on Monday (7/18) at Dam Funks’ legendary weekly Funkmosphere party with SFs own, Donuts DJs, Dam Funk, and Funkmosphere DJs!

Video: Innergaze // “SHADOW DISCO”.

Local drummer Damon Palermo (Mi Ami/Jonas Reinhardt) contributed drums to this Innergaze track. It co-premiered yesterday on Altered Zones and 20jazzfunkgreats, and is self described as “a strut thru a parallel land where mirrors, glitter and dances are the holy sacraments of a mainstream religion whose  father is Liquid Liquid (on a dubby bender), the son is Daniel Wang and the holy spirit Arthur Russell…” Sounds about right. The 12” will be out soon via 100% Silk, and they’re coming to town in July - stay tuned for details.

Today, he’s off to NYC for a few days, then to Europe with Mi Ami for another three weeks.
