Treasure Fingers X Cardboard Robot

   May 8, 2008 – 4:37 pm jaso

We were out at Coachella last week, when we met up with emerging Fool’s Gold artist Treasure Fingers, seen below wearing the “Hollywood Stars,” jacket and “Heaven’s Gate” tee. I could break down who he is further but whoever wrote his bio is a better linguist and I would hate to leave something out, don’t forget to check him out on his headlining tour this Summer with Kill The Noise (all dates also listed below). We expect big things in his future, check out his Myspace to hear some tunes.

With over 10 years of international DJing experience killing dancefloors from Russia to Australia and everywhere in between, Ashley Jones aka Treasure Fingers is no stranger to rocking parties. A well-versed producer and an accomplished musician, Treasure Fingers has his lustrous hand in multiple genres. He is also part of the drum and bass trio, Evol Intent, who are widely considered the #1 U.S. producers in their respective genre. While most would rest easy on the success of one genre, TF does not sleep. Operating out of his home base of Atlanta, he produces music endlessly in between touring, dabbling in hip hop, idm, downtempo, and more.

The talented Mr. Fingers’ major break in to the electro scene came by way of his catchy remix of Snowden’s ‘Anti Anti’ for Jade Tree Records. The success of this remix led to remixes for other artists including one for Romanthony, the writer and vocalist behind Daft Punk’s mega-hit “One More Time”. All the while he has continued to produce banging original tunes such as “Cross the Dancefloor”, which caught the ear of A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs, landing him a spot on the Fool’s Gold Records roster.

Coming from an incredibly varied musical background, ranging from dirty south hip hop to electronic experimental music (and everything in between), his broad tastes reflect in his tracks. The clean production style, laced with unique funky basslines and quirky synths, makes for lively, yet intricate melodies. His tunes widely appeal to fans of the grittiest electro, to ones of the more disco infused dancerock breed. Packing enough diversity to satisfy just about anyone, it doesn’t matter if the word ‘grill’ makes you think of barbeques or shiny mouths, Treasure Fingers will make you shake that ass.

Jesse Gerold X Cardboard Robot (Pt. 2)

   May 2, 2008 – 6:54 pm jaso

A couple days ago we invited Jess down to take some shots and prove to us and (you) what he can do. What better way to do that than to have the kid wall ride a molester van?  Lucky for us we have a real live 1982 van, as seen on “America’s Most Wanted,” the movie, “Ransom,” and often times on “Cops,” because it hardly runs, we decided to get our money’s worth out of it by have Jesse skate it.  I think there is free candy inside…
