"As much a collectible as a piece of sound-art, Dino Felipe's wonderful-looking new 7" is a roughshod electronic beat micropiece. Like a pool cue stubbing on felt, or flat rocks on a pond top, DeLaVega bounces beats, handclaps and looped cell rings off your inner ear and between your speakers. Always stonking, the beat encounters some pitch-up sinewaves and fluttering static as the track progesses, as if they were pink puffy horseflies. Lambent and luscious. Then it's onto a short-circuit firecracker, scaly with noise. Sonic splatter drains from your tweeters, running into puddles onto the floor. Don't slip on this. The flipside puts you in the middle of the silicon circus, an organ-grinding bonk. A banging three-song slab designed to get your attention and lock it under a heart-shaped clasp, where it will glow warmly until you open it again. A lovely confection. Suck it and see." --David Day

New mid-sized followup to the debut Dino Felip album Dino Felipe As Flim Toby. "We feel that Xanaconversex and is best (and inadvertently) described by a dream Dino had prior to the record's release. 'This morning I was dreaming a three dimensional collage composed of very sexy body parts and pieces of sound that were all melded together in the air and on the floor. The 'song' was based on the breathing sounds and sighs emitted from the body parts. All the sounds and shapes were different colors, all of them translucent, overlapping, converging, and receding. They were all live, organic performers and every once in a while i would shift to audio "mode" and the sexy image would switch to song. I would edit, mold, and fade the shapes by moving them around with my hands. I would arrange an elbow, move a shoulder, or shine a hip trying to perfect the collage, then i would stand back and say 'Wow, that's hot!' When I really liked it I would 'save' it, as if I were composing it on my PC, then go back to refine it. I knew i was dreaming, because part of my motivation for saving the collage was to show it to my friends in the 'real' world.' Befriend Dino Felipe and enjoy Xanaconversex today."

"Questions? Who is Dino Felipe? That question is easily answered. He's a 23 year old artist straddling the latitudinal stretch between Miami and Atlanta (home of other Schematic artists Richard Devine and Delarosa and Asora). No mystery in that? The real question is -- Who is Flim Toby? Flim Toby first appeared on a cassette released by the American Tapes label in 2001. The cassette was a recording of tape music, 4-track collages, and toy compositions created by one Dino Felipe Delavega. Flim Toby is a film. A 'scrambled up film in the shape of a person', to be exact. His whole life is displayed in the pictures on the surface of his skin, so he has nothing to hide. Nor does he have anything to say, it's all evident -- sort of an overstated interpretation of the life of an artist. During the recording of Flim Toby, Dino Felipe was 'obsessed with nature, life, and organisms', so he crafted collages out of untouched 'pictures' of sound. Samples of everything that touched him went into the mixture, from his neighborhood feathered friends, to archived childhood recordings, constructed by an expert machine operator and rhythmatist, with the natural, unsyncopated touch of a free jazz musician. Does all this sound familiar? Flim Toby doesn't unless you're Dino. It is his life in pictures and sound, though you may feel as if some of his memories are yours. You may see yourself in the pictures that Flim Toby is comprised of. If you do, then you just might have a new friend and a new soundtrack for a while. Beats? Yes. Music? Yes, a lot of that. Noise? Yes, that too. Intense? Sometimes. Mellow? Sometimes. Soulful? Definitely. Schematic? Definitely."
