Dan Deacon – Synth Hero Mix by Dazed Digital published on 2015-09-22T10:08:03Z Every month we ask a pioneering musician to mix together an hour of their formative electronic influences for the Synth Hero show on NTS. This month it is the turn of Dan Deacon, a Baltimore-based producer, performer and composer who has released 8 albums of innovative electronica since his 2003 debut, Meetle Mice. As well as co-founding the indie arts collective Wham City, he’s also scored a horror thriller by Francis Ford Coppola and performed at Carnegie Hall with Matmos to celebrate the 100th Birthday of John Cage. His live shows are the stuff of legend, with Deacon performing smack bang in the middle of his audiences with a table full of machines, circuit bent devices and of course, racks of synths. Although the last few years have seen Deacon concentrate on classical music, he has just contributed a killer new Brian Eno cover to the amazing EP, Translational Drifts: Moogfest Volume 1. It is the first in a series of free releases that feature contemporary acts reinterpreting seminal electronic music influencers that have shaped the annual Moogfest festival. Check it out here. Currently touring American in his "vantastic" school bus (which runs on vegetable oil), this Synth Hero mix showcases everythig from synth country remixes of Missy Elliott to the noise rock of Mindflayer and everything inbetween.

I sometimes wonder if Dan Deacon even likes music or if he's just into magic. One of the best and most memorable live performers I've seen. 2017-01-09T20:48:07Z Comment by all_of_these_machines https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LchUdLLgQ8 2016-05-27T20:43:56Z Comment by all_of_these_machines the "country synth" used in this is Gil Trythall's version of "foggy mountain breakdown" 2016-05-27T20:43:45Z Comment by Above reason Awesome stuff! 2016-05-10T00:04:02Z Comment by Str[awe]berr-E rX yo Dan Deacon you crazy motherfucker.
