The Los Angeles-based electronic-music Don known as Kraddy has always brought the undiluted
sound of the underground to new audiences. From his work as a founding member
of the infamous Glitch Mob to his
groundbreaking solo work, Kraddy
(born Matthew Kratz) has always been
known for shattering genre conventions while moving crowds everywhere from Red Rocks to L.A.’s famed Low End Theory club.
Kraddy has now lent his considerable talents to the work of
Oakland-based avant pop trio Mortar
& Pestle on his remix of “Lighthouse”
from the band’s debut self-titled EP.
The Kraddy remix of “Lighthouse” can be heard via a premiere
of the track courtesy of pop culture website Mass Appeal here: http://massappeal.com/mortar-pestle-lighthouse-kraddy-remix.
Mortar &
Pestle is a new band, but has deep
roots. The sounds of a pinball machine
at the opening of the band’s debut EP might say fun, but give way to a darkness
that is real. Born on the kitchen piano
of a studio apartment, days after singer Janaysa
Lambert and keyboardist Paul
Shinichi first met at a mutual friend’s party, the two were joined within
the year by drummer Sean Paul Duke.
Tragically, the friend who brought them together met
with an untimely death shortly after she gave the band its name. “She wanted to be the one to name us,” says Shinichi. “We were struggling with a
name for months, and then she came up with Mortar
& Pestle. I think honoring her life is one reason why we are together.
This record is really about her.”
Mortar &
Pestle’s debut has already gained
significant attention for its melding of avant-garde electronic sounds with
pure soul singing. In addition to notices
from SPIN, BlackBook, Earmilk, and
more, the entire new EP is streaming
now via hometown paper East Bay
Express, and another hometown publication, San Francisco Magazine, will host a live set by the band at its
upcoming “Best of The Bay” event on June 27th. Visit this link for more info: http://bestofbay.modernluxury.com/music.

& Pestle are available for interviews.
