CFO

2012-01-15T23:35:00.000-08:00

HIT+RUN is excited to announce their first music release of 2012, the "CFO x H+R Mixtape" by CONTACT FIELD ORCHESTRA. CFO is a new project brought together by producer/composer Damon Aaron.

After finding a box of tapes of a 19th-century percussion "orchestra", he set about cleaning and compiling them into a form that could be released. Apparently somewhat destroyed, he also replayed and augmented the pieces as best he could:

"The result, I think, is an amazing collection of esoteric folk recordings, albeit somewhat altered. like something out of a Jim Jarmusch film, or an old Library of Congress recording... Hypnotizing and odd; meditative and jarring. "

This the first glimpse into CFO's arcane world of broken percussion, banjos, flutes and mbira's that make-up some of the sounds of this group of miners-turned-musicians. Presented here in classic mixtape form with lots of dub, sirens, and vocal samples, it's a nice introduction to the first full lenght album "Volume 1" due this Summer.

In celebration of this limited-edition chrome tape (only 250 made), there are three FREE live performances scheduled in Los Angeles, don't miss them!

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 10th at "TOP TAPE" at The Hyperion Tavern (1941 Hyperion Ave, Silverlake) 10pm / 21+

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 11th at POO-BAH RECORDS (636 E. Colorado Blvd, Pasadena) 6pm / All Ages

SUNDAY FEBRAURY 12th at HIGH-FIDELITY RECORDS (1956 Hillhurst Ave, Los Feliz) 3pm / All Ages

CRYPTIK - RECAP

2011-06-30T13:22:00.000-07:00

Recently, Hit + Run’s new Townhouse Gallery premiered a wondrously stunning installation by Los Angeles artist CRYPTIK.

The exhibition drew the viewer into an introspective world filled with images of Buddha, Ganesha, Gandhi and mantras written in CRYPTIK's signature "ancient script" letterforms. Incense and sage filled the air as viewers gazed serenely on 40+ objects of art at the Opening Night party during the monthly Venice Art Crawl.

The works in the artist’s compendium stem from his eastern philosophy series, and are part of what the artist virtuously refers to as “The CRYPTIK Movement.” The CRYPTIK Movement is a public art campaign dedicated to advocating humanity to evolve toward a greater awareness through the use of compelling, iconic imagery.

Art and merchandise for sale (made exclusively for this show) include limited edition 18” x 18” prints on 130lb Cougar white - edition of 50; the exclusive HIT+RUN x CRYPTIK “Halo” collaboration T-shirt (only 50 were hand-printed by Hit + Run); and limited CRYPTIK T-shirts, sweatshirts, 24k gold buttons & sticker packs.

If you are interested in viewing the installation by CRYPTIK or purchasing artwork, visit Townhouse Gallery located at 56 Windward Ave, Venice, CA 90291 daily from Noon to 6:00PM. The show is on view through Saturday July 16, 2011 with a special closing reception from Noon-6:00PM

THE WEST IS THE BEST

2010-12-24T23:29:00.000-08:00

HIT+RUN travelled the globe in 2010, screenprinting live at over 200 events all over the world. Crew silkscreened at parties in New York, London, Sydney, Melbourne, Tokyo, Sapporo, Miami, Chicago, New Orleans, Las Vegas, Boston, Austin, Portland, Seattle, San Diego, Newport Beach, Baltimore, Costa Mesa, St. Louis, Columbia, Breckenridge and Salt Lake City, but nothing compares to our home of LOS ANGELES! HIT+RUN turned 5 years old in 2010 and we even started our first new Crew based in London, UK! We have lots of surprises planned for 2011, but first is a holiday gift... we're officially "leaking" a song from our 5-year anniversary party REPEAT OFFENDER held last November at The Echo in Los Angeles.

HIT+RUN released exclusive mix cds by KUTMAH, RAS_G, and TEEBS in 2010, as well as the debut full-length album of original music by CRIME "Kills Kids", 20 minutes of game-boy punk available on iTunes worldwide...don't be afraid, its just the future. Aside from those musical gems, H+R Crew's favorite album from 2010 is the Warp Records' release GONJASUFI "A Sufi & A Killer", a brutal slab of hallucinogenic head-nod music with gutter classics produced by LA beat wizards THE GASLAMP KILLER, FLYING LOTUS and MAINFRAME. FlyLo calls it "timeless, incredible filth," and Sufi's (aka San Diego native Sumach Valentine) singing is raw, grimy, perhaps a bit off, both haunting and haunted, coolly assertive, yet stark and brooding. In Fall 2010 after relentless festival appearances and tours with GLK all over the US, UK, Asia & Europe, Gonjasufi flipped the script and assembed a 4-piece band...but right before they embarked on their European-debut we asked them to perform at REPEAT OFFENDER 2010. Their blistering 5-song midnight set is now historic, and culminated in a fiery extended version of the classic Sumach track "West Coast", presented here for you. Share the track + spread the love, purchase the awesome Gonjasufi & Crime albums, and support the BEST COAST!!!
