For those of you still playing catch-up, there is a new star
of electronic music… and yes; he’s the one in the dinosaur suit and the headdress.
From the early recognition for his debut releases in the UK
on the Greco-Roman label (run by Joe Goddard), Orlando (aka
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs) has been on a one man mission to share his unique take on dance music –
and it’s been going rather well of late. From joining forces with Friendly
Fires on-stage at Bestival last summer to being invited out to the Congo by Damon Albarn to
record an album for Warp, Orlando has been gradually ascending his way to the top, all the
while following his own path.
Having found time to re-release the irrepressible 'Garden' single (remix bundle out digitally March 13 on Casablanca Records) and
support Deadmau5 playing an exclusive set from the top of the Millbank Tower across
the Thames, the majority of the past 6 months has actually been spent in the
studio working
on his much-anticipated debut LP.
Orlando on 'Tapes & Money': "The track started life
as an instrumental in my live sets, and with a little inspiration from the phone hacking
saga, I've ended up recording a vocal. It feels good to get some new music out
there."
