2:00 a.m. wine is a risky endeavor. On the proper occasion, it can be wise, if not essential to ease social awkwardness, set the mood, or just get your mind right. However, should things not go your way, it can be the recipe to a sledgehammer headache worthy of Peter Gabriel (no shock that monkey.) But there’s no denying that at that late hour, fermented grape can be undeniably awesome, mingling with the impending sleeplessness to create a mildly hallucinogenic euphoria. Throw a spliff into the mix and now we’re talking. Teebs, one of the Brainfeeder brethren, understands this alchemy well, at least that’s what you’d expect from his blurry, bong-ripped, down-tempo beats that most closely resemble Brainfeeder boss Flying Lotus.
His latest mix, 2:00 a.m. Wine, done for Cosmopolyphonic Radio, channels this Ambien-addled aesthetic (the miracles of modern chemistry) and delivers a gauzy beautiful haze ideal for the witching hours. Best served with some Miles Raymond-approved vintage, the pop and hiss of vinyl and the strongest smoke money can afford. For those in the 9-0 zip codes and attempting to strike this combo, you are in luck. Come Sunday, Teebs, Daedelus, Gaslamp Killer, Kutmah, and Jogger, will be kicking off the first of the monthly Brainfeeder sessions at the Downtown Independent. Flier below the jump. $10. Strong drink not included.
In the meantime, should you still be awake in 10 hours, your playlist is now pre-programmed.
