BD Infected Musician Spotlight: AbdeCaf
There are over 200,000 registered Infected members here on Bloody-Disgusting. So it only stands to reason that a good chunk of you are musicians. And, believe it or not, I want to hear your stuff! More so, I want to share it with the rest of the community that you are such a part of. After all, aren’t we just one big happy family?
So today I want to spotlight BD Infected member v0dka4arussian, who goes by the artist name AbdeCaf. You can find all sorts of awesome information and music samples below, as well as a free download of his Unravel EP!
If you want to be a spotlighted artist, contact me via one of the methods at the bottom of this article.
AbdeCaf: I’ve been doing this project for only 6 months, and have only released music with it for 4 months. My first single ”Feed Your Brain” came out February 8th, and I sent it to Diplo who favorited it on his Soundcloud, making it the only song in his favorites, and causing it to chart on the Soundcloud Indie Chart. After that I opened for Com Truise locally as my first show. Since then I’ve signed with the William Morris Endeavor (Bloody Beetroots, Swedish House Mafia, Holy Ghost!) for booking, dropped my first EP Unravel for free, and been booked to play VELD Music Fest, Electric Zoo, Counter Point and North Coast.

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.
Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.
Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.
“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.
“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
