Felix Laband was one of the many artists I picked up on while I was backpacking in Nepal.  This South African producer, off critically acclaimed label, African Dope Records, brings new meaning to the word perfectionist.  His sound is the definition of clean and crisp, presenting noises that play with your head and thoughts in a beautiful way.  In fact, put your headphones on and close your eyes when you listen to it….the sound will paint pictures in your mind.  The story I got from the guy who showed me his work characterized him as somewhat of a recluse, where, even if you went to one of his live shows, you’d never know if he’d play a whole set, play 10 min and get over it, or even show up at all.  With that kind of sound, you can understand where he spends most of his time.  Check out his Myspace here.
