Once working from a studio in Santa Monica, California. A young Daedelus began noodling Bass Clarinet notes, and soon after attempting Double-Bass. After an ill-fated affair pondering classical and jazz, rave paved the way, and a burgeoning record collection fueled Daedelus’ artistic creativity, preparing the path to their first full length release, Invention. Inspired by '30s, '40s and '70s grooves, and defying genres such as downtempo and hip-hop, Daedelus gradually begins to venture into the L.A. afterdark.
The music on Invention combines multiple instruments, including non-traditional ones such as computer printers, toy pianos, and among other bent and mis-used, the Omnichord. Daedelus invites local MC talents Busdriver and Sach to flow over the masterful bonus versions of "Quiet Now" and "Pursed Lips Reply." Invention unfolds in dynamic ranges of emotion.
Daedelus has also released "Her's Is >" on Phthalo, an e.p. "The Household" on Scott Herren’s Eastern Developments imprint and has produced "The Weather" album for Mush Recordings. Then "Rethinking The Weather", "Meanwhile...", "A Gent Agent", "Of Snowdonia", "Axe Murderation", "Exquisite Corpse", "Denies The Day's Demise", "Fair Weather Friends", "Love To Make Music To" and it's SPs for Ninjatune recordings, "Friends of Friends vol. 1" T-shirt EP along side Jogger, "Bespoke" is their most recent LP.
Daedelus is now found pouring lighter fluid on the turntables at dublab.com, fretting endlessly over their Monome assisted live sets, and generally thinking in threes and fours.
They have worked with Laura Darling, Busdriver, Frosty, Inara George, Bilal, Baths, MF Doom, Prefuse73, Absract Rude, Madlib, Flying Lotus, Pigeon John, Hrishikesh Hirway,Radioinactive, High Priest (Anti-Pop Consortium), N'fa (1200 Techniques), Taz Arnold and Om'mas Keith(Sa-Ra), Michael Johnson, CYNE, TTC, Carlos Nino(Build an Ark, Amoncontact)+ many more. Their live shows, which utilize Monome, have amazed audiences across the US, Europe, Trans-Tasman, South East Asia, China, Middle East and Japan.
Order of the Golden Dawn
Daedelus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thus the end, the ends
Darkest hour, obsidian
Cast of stone, the Night
With a slight of who not harmed
Hit or touched
What will be, the end
How come the rising sun matches still
In to gold, it holds
Comes the dawn, golden dawn
Darkness turn to day
Order of Golden Dawn
(Eastern rising sun)
Boxers without it all
(Fists of righteousness)
Order of Golden Dawn
(Eastern rising sun)
Boxers without it all
(Fists of righteousness)
Order of Golden Dawn
(Eastern rising sun)
Boxers without it all
(Fists of righteousness)
Heat the warming bloody red
Morning sky
Soldiers now, beware
Drink the tea, liquid shield
Brewed and fed so well
Evening serves, water gals
All that's left, intact
Soldiers tasting dragon's tea, summer ring
Rise again, begin
Order of Golden Dawn
(Eastern rising sun)
Boxers without it all
(Fists of righteousness)
Order of Golden Dawn
(Eastern rising sun)
Boxers without it all
(Fists of righteousness)
Order of Golden Dawn
(Eastern rising sun)
Boxers without it all
(Fists of righteousness)
The opening line of "Order of the Golden Dawn" seems to suggest a prophetic message about an uncertain future. It could also connote a formal announcement or decision. The following lines describe a bleak, foreboding moment—the darkest hour—symbolized as an obsidian stone. In contrast to the stark, oppressive image of night, there is hope that the sun's rising will herald a new beginning. This transition from darkness to light is a metaphor for a much larger shift from despair to hope, and from oppression to liberation.
The song’s title “Order of the Golden Dawn” refers to a real-life occult organization, founded on strict rules for magical practices by William Wynn Westcott and Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers in the late 1800s. The group's teachings were based on the mystical interpretation of ancient Egyptian magic, Qabalah, astrology, tarot, and alchemy. "Boxers without it all" refers to the Boxer Rebellion in China during the early 20th century, while "Fists of righteousness" was a popular philosophy among the Chinese Boxers. The lyrics suggest struggles for justice and a noble cause. The song's themes of redemption and transformation are also reflected in the symbolism of tea, which is a recurring image throughout the song.

Correct lyrics:
Order of the day to come
Thus the end, begins
Darkest hour, obsidian
Cast in stone, the Night
With a slender bow, non high

Nights just still

Comes the dawn, golden dawn
Darkness turned to day

INCORRECT. "Begins", "alchemy "
@jstnurmind
I had a dream where my mom was speaking to me from space through the radio in random voice clips from different songs and recordings. I can't remember what the message was but this song played at the end of the dream sequence
@MCLemonyfresh
So bummed they took this off Spotify! One of my favorite songs.
@evelynortega3142
MCLemonyfresh Just tried to remember the name (I had it saved for months) and spent quite a bit of time trying to find something that wasn't there.
@luopingnan15

Weirdest coincidence this week! Reading Greek folk tales and also just bought a copy of "self initiation into the Golden Dawn Tradition" by Chic and Tabatha Cicero. Saw the thumbnail and clicked immediately!
