Download: The Clonious for BTS Radio (My ABC)

Paul Movahedi, known to most as The Clonious, created what was arguably the best electronic album of 2009. Emphasis on “album”.

His debut LP, “Between The Dots” released on Ubiquity Records late last year displayed the lost art of creating a cohesive piece. Twisting contemporary electronics and classic jazz, “Between The Dots” weaves through movements that carry you to the finish.

Point blank, The Clonious is a force to reckoned with. After hearing tracks like “One At A Time” featuring Muhsinah from his “Adroit Adventures EP”, or his “Touch It” Remix (check Andrew Meza’s Black Athena Mix), you know this is serious business. We’re proud to present this guest mix created exclusivley for BTS Radio. Includes loads of exclusives from his Austrian bredren plus vintage and contemporary influences. - BTS Radio

“It touched down on the building across from us and ripped off the paper and insulation and flung it into the street, landed into our building and ripped the skylight off,” said Rose, 29, publisher of the independent music magazine L.A. Record. [Read More]
