Maximum Hedrum January Residency at Los Globos

While Los Globos, the two-story nightclub in Silverlake, has had its’ ups and downs in recent months, they are moving ahead in 2013 with a strong team and solid calendar. Starting tonight, January 14, and every Monday for the remainder of the month, the newest supergroup on the block, Maximum Hedrum, will be holding their Residency at the club. Featuring DJ and Producer, Sam Spiegel, (who just happens to be the younger brother of Spike Jonze), whose previous duo, N.A.S.A. released an album featuring guest appearances ranging from Kanye to Tom Waits, is now teaming up with Sepultura frontman Derrick Green. Only in LA could forces as diverse as these come together to form a psychedelic dance and funk-inspired collaboration. The duo has released two singles in anticipation of the debut album set for a March 5 release – one of which features George Clinton. Strange as it may all seem, the strangeness is exactly what makes it appealing. Besides, the quality of the production is undeniable. They’ve made it impossible not to go back for a second listen. I can’t even imagine what the live show experience will be like. Check out the single, “Synthesize,” below, and head to Los Globos tonight, and every Monday in January, to see for yourself. – Jacqueline Caruso
