Daktyl and Benni Ola Enter the Matrix: Production wiz and multi-instrumentalist Daktyl has collaborated with Californian spoken word poet and songwriter Benni Ola on a new project, the first fruit of which is the new “Matrix” single. It’s a pulsating, hypnotic tune — the two men blending their styles seamlessly.“I started producing when I was at uni, my brother gave me an old copy of reason and I was immediately hooked,” says Daktyl.“For a long time I never considered myself a producer,” adds Ola. “It felt like this big title and responsibility I was afraid of. It’s only recently I’ve decided to allow space for it, initially starting with vocal production and then taking up percussive instruments. I’ve played bongos since I was a teen and now I’m leaning into something I’ve always known.”Both artists struggle to define their current sound.“I’m terrible at answering this question, I always just say electronic mus...Republican attorney joins California race for Feinstein Senate seat

LOS ANGELES — A Republican attorney announced Tuesday he’s entering the 2024 contest to replace outgoing Democratic U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, joining a growing field in a state known for its liberal political tilt.Eric Early — an unsuccessful candidate for state attorney general in 2022 and 2018 and for Congress in 2020 — said he will campaign for the votes of “forgotten” Californians contending with rising crime, drug use, high taxes and what he called “far-left” ideology creeping into government.He said in a statement on his website that he will “stand up to the Socialist, ‘woke’ interests that control Washington, D.C.”Feinstein, the oldest member of Congress, said in February that she would not seek reelection. Her term ends in January 2025.Early, who lives in Los Angeles, will start at a disadvantage.A Republican hasn’t won a statewide race in California since 2006. Democrats dominate the Legislature and the congressional delegation, and registered Democrats outnumber Republic...Saratoga waives tree removal fees after eucalyptuses do $250,000 in storm damage

Saratoga residents will not have to pay the city to cut down blue gum eucalyptus trees for the next 2-1/2 months. The trees did about $250,000 in reported damage during last month’s storms.Saratoga City Council voted April 5 to waive the $130 fee for blue gum eucalyptus tree removal through June 30 in the wake of the storm damage they caused to public and private property. Blue gum eucalyptus trees, which came to California from Australia, have shallow roots, and studies show they are more prone to falling.The city, which has fairly strict protections in place for its trees, will still require applicants to replace any they remove. Council added the requirement after a couple residents voiced concern that replacement of the removed trees wasn’t guaranteed under the initial draft of the urgency ordinance pausing the permit fees.RELATED: Why are so many Bay Area trees turning destructive and deadly in recent storms?

It’s the smallest 12-month increase since May 2021.On a monthly basis, CPI, which measures price changes over time for a basket of goods, ticked up 0.1% from February, as compared to a previous 0.4% increase.Shelter costs were the largest contributor of the monthly gain, offsetting sharp declines across energy categories, according to the BLS.And for the first time since September 2020, grocery prices fell on a monthly basis: The food at home index dropped 0.3% for the month, helped by lower prices in eggs (which fell nearly 11%) and fruits and vegetables (which declined 1.3%).Economists were expecting an annual increase of 5.2% and a monthly gain of ...Grazing goats sought for wildfire protection at Lick Observatory

They’re affectionally known as the fire-eating goats: Star Grazer, Chewbacca, Galileo and Death — Destroyer of the Weeds.The goats don’t actually eat the flames. They feed on its fuel. Soon the resourceful animals will be grazing the hills of Mount Hamilton surrounding Lick Observatory — destined to clear the brush and make the expansive pasture less prone to fire.“There’s a big history of fires sweeping through the Diablo Range,” said Matthew Shetrone, deputy director of the University of California Observatories. “If you’re going to put a $65 (million) or $70 million facility at the top of a mountain, fire likes to climb mountains, so you’ve got to make sure you’re well protected.”Over the past several decades, devastating fires have blackened the mountain. In 2020, the SCU Lightning Complex Fire burned 396,624 acres — the third-largest wildfire in California history — and came dangerously close to enveloping the more tha...Tourist killed in Mexican resort of Tulum

Draymond Green’s pre-season comment on LeBron James’ YouTube show that he can’t get amped for a Sacramento Kings game because they “stink” reportedly hit the Kings sideways.But Green corrected the record in a recent podcast appearance on Tuesday, days before the Warriors are set to take on Sacramento in the first round of the NBA playoffs starting Saturday.“The Kings have sucked. Let’s face it,” Green said on #ThisLeague Uncut podcast. “Since I’ve been in the NBA they have sucked. They have not been in the playoffs since I’ve been in the NBA. It’s not some bulletin board of disrespect, it’s actually a fact. They are who we were when I came into the NBA.“They’re changing now. I also said on that episode the Kings got (head coach) Mike Brown and I expect that to change. I told (Kings guard) De’Aaron Fox on my podcast, this is on you. Kings get to the playoffs, this is on you, my brother.”The controvers...Walnut Creek’s Heather Farm Park set for major upgrades

Walnut Creek is eagerly preparing to upgrade one of its beloved parks, with a considerable chunk of funding stemming from a voter-approved sales tax expected to yield tens of millions of dollars for the project.The City Council has given the nod to the proposed improvement of Heather Farm Park’s swim center and community center, both of which are more than half a century old and presently located on opposite sides of the 102-acre park.Though combining the two facilities will require reducing the size of the fishing pond to make room for the new pools, other amenities at the popular park will remain, including tennis courts, picnic areas, the equestrian center, a skate park, an off-leash dog park, bike paths, an all-ability playground, tot lots, a sand volleyball court, a nature pond, six athletic fields, restrooms and a connection to the Iron Horse Trail.
