Neon Brown x Daniel David - The Connection (Official Video)
Neon Brown x Daniel David - The Connection is live on the Youtubes!
In the sixth installment out of twelve projects for the year, I collaborated with the homie Daniel David, formally known as Trailer Limon. Dan has come out with magnificent pieces of music over the last decade. Whether it be songs with his partner Eric Boss in The Pendletons, producing for Zackey Force Funk, or collaborating with folks like Potato Head People, Dan has a knack for finding just the right melody and groove. A true Funkster. Very psyched to be working with him again.
The song “The Connection” focuses on the strong connection of love between people. The video focuses on the connection between love and art (music, 2d art, and dance) and how powerful that love can be. But interpret it how you’d like.
Boog Harris, the dancer in the video is phenomenal. I met him at one of my DJ gigs last year. The way this man moves is quite unique and I am honored that he would be in the video. We filmed the dance scenes at the B Boy Factory here in Denver. Big thank you to Alexandria Marcus and Ian Flaws for allowing us to use their beautiful space. If you're looking to learn dance here in Denver, that’s the spot!.
As well, we had some friends and fam come through and play characters in the vid. Big thank you to Ryan, Brenda, Ben, Mom, and Etta. Love ya’ll!
The video was directed by the very talented Chelsea Chorpenning and myself. I animated over some scenes as well, which is a new thing for me. It was cool to learn and I hope to do more.
Please take a minute to check out the video. Subscribe to my channel, and like and share the vid. Due to flushing out a project a month, there’s really no $ for promo so I am relying on the fans to help spread the word and get this music moving. Like it should be! I appreciate you all and everything you do for me and for music. Keep it moving!
“The Connection” will be available for purchase next Tuesday, April 26th on my Bandcamp. iamneonbrown.bandcamp.com
Enjoy!

I'm writing to let you know about two DJ sets coming up on Friday, Nov. 26th, and Sat. Nov. 27th. The first is at The Roxy On Broadway (554 S. Broadway) Friday, Nov. 26th, and the second at ESP. HiFi Bar (1029 Santa Fe Dive) on Sat. Nov. 27th from 3:30-6:30 pm.
What up folks,
I wanted to let you know that once again Bandcamp has waived their revenue share for the day. Any sales made today until midnight will go directly to the artists. Take a look and listen to my discography. Pick something up for yourself. you deserve it!
After coming off the release of 'The Donner Party' with Deca, I’m pleased to kick off 2020 with a pair of musically and lyrically rich new tracks. They’re part of my limited edition 7-inch record, that finds me collaborating with some of my favorite artists.
On the A-Side we find “Maintain,” a hard-hitting but hopeful track featuring Vursatyl (of Lifesavas) and deejay Red C. Vurs delivers a strong message to listeners as Red C provides a head nodding scratch outro. The B-Side, “The Light Goes Out,” includes an appearance from rising San Fran artist Trailer Limon who weaves a gripping narrative about a young man on the brink of ending his life. The bluesy backdrop is courtesy of yours truly, and complements the tone of Limon’s stirring imagery.
The two tracks are available now through all digital retailers and streaming platforms, with vinyl pre-orders accessible exclusively through my Bandcamp page. Only 200 copies will be pressed, where each pre-order will be accompanied with an instant-grat download of my forthcoming instrumental album, ‘L’appel de Vide,’ as an added bonus.

Hey there!
Facial recognition technology is a system that identifies an individual from a digital image or video frame, solely for the purpose of tracking, retrieving data, and advertising to that said individual. We Americans love our technologies so much that we let these encroachments drift pass us like two ships in the night.
Jake Sanders and I thought it was our duty to inform the public. Below you will find a video we created to educate you on the subject. Enjoy!

On this sobering morning, I am at a loss for words. Blanketed by the foreseen fate of our ailing nation. Watching the development off in the distance like a storm on the western plains. The beautiful chaos dancing between the ancient formations of the land. Knowing, that from a distance I am safe. Able to stare into the eye of madness and project the strength of a thousand men. Though, once it advances, I know I am dead.
The Tyranny of The Majority | America Nov. 9th 2016
I believe the story, which is featured below and written by my brother Zach in 2007 holds true to our current situation. A metaphoric illustration of America from its creation to present day. I thought I'd share it with you.
The Tyranny of The Majority | America Nov. 9th 2016
Wind swept high over the rim of the North Park depression, sending snow, ice, and debris from seasons past into the thin morning air - seen from below, a crystalline trail of tobacco smoke betraying the den of some great reclining mountain dweller. The horse's breath drifted thick, semi-opaque, white in the first rays of sunlight, mimicking the path of the eastbound airstream. Sounds of the waking forest came omnidirectional: the metallic crunch of twice-frozen snow, lodgepole pines creaking in the breeze, the hollow clatter of two trunks contacting in their rebound. His hands, arthritic and cracked dry, shook slightly in the cold as he reached for the sorrel's reigns. He placed his boot in the stirrup, and heaved himself over into the saddle. The sorrel swayed slightly adjusting to its new weight, taking one step forward and to the side, then settling back onto three legs, the right front shoe raised delicately with the leg bent into a forward facing V, the head tilted down and quietly chomping the bit as some obeisant runner presenting for assignment to faraway lands.
The sun through the pines wove a laticework of stark light and shadow on the cold ground, a vermiculate and ever shifting tapestry - now brighter, now darker - textured as tufted fur by the thick bed of dried, brittle needles from summer upon summer precedent.
He flicked the reigns forward, administering a light prodding kick to the sorrel's flanks with the heels of his dusty boots. They moved forward as one on a downhill slope, the sun at their backs through the trees. Seen from below, the just-breaking orb of sun blocked all detail of them save the diffraction halo bursting from their edge - a holy centaur blinding in illumination.
The Tyranny of The Majority | America Nov. 9th 2016
He kicked again, increasing their speed, the air moving over his face now numbing his lips. The thin line of grey granite stretched across the horizon, approaching, becoming wider with each lope, more defined. The cracks and color variations of the rock came into focus in reckless contrast to the cold blue skyline resting upon it - hard, textured organic earth giving way evanescently, but indisputably, to azure infinity. The trees receded on both sides a short distance from the edge, resembling the curtain frame of an old movie theater, its massive screen blue and featureless - depth without definition, two dimensional or three.
The centaur tested that definition, that cold blue space/plane, the horse's eyes widening with fright, unable to divert - its will not its own, but reposed rather in the pilot above - the man's eyes narrow with purpose. Seen from below, they broke the barrier: appearing first head, then body, then wind-flapping tail. Born from the nothingness of granite to the being of sky. For a brief time, this foetal beast was a bird.
Jean-Jacques Perrey, electronic music pioneer, and composer passed away this past Friday from complications with lung cancer. He was 87 years of age.
He is known for being one of the earliest creators of electronic pop, alongside his contemporaries Gershon Kingsley and Dick Hyman. One of the first to utilize the Moog synthesizer upon its release, Perrey created surreal robotic orchestrations that give an eerie, sometimes funky, yet serene atmosphere.
