I’m in the group of people that believes that you can make music out of anything. I was certain that the opus I composed on pots and pans was a masterpiece. While that’s debatable, the talent that young electronic artist Robert DeLong has is not. He uses everything from his voice to a Midi keyboard to video game remote controls to maneuver his way through his one man live shows. From the two minute preview of his live shows, it looks like a swirling mess of bodies and synth lines. His latest work is currently under construction for a new album, but one of the songs, "Happy", has been getting some coverage from KROQ. It’s an inescapably fun tune that is effervescent and well…happy. It’s nice to step away from the downer tunes once and awhile and just have some fun. Keep an eye on him. He’s sure to be popping up in your radar very soon. Starting January 9th, DeLong will host a residency at Los Globos in Silver Lake. – Taylor Lampela
