The weather is turning warm again, and the number of good new releases seems to be increasing in direct proportion. I’ll have more news here in the next month regarding other developments, like another JET Party Services gig at Spirit Lodge and the long delayed launch of my new solo label Q.E.D. Recordings. Big tings…
Early 2022 New Jams
There haven’t been a ton of new records on my radar so far in 2022, but at least the ones that are have been excellent. Also going to have to start adding in some digi-only releases as there have been some really strong ones recently that don’t appear to have imminent vinyl releases. Here we…
2021
Groundhog Day turned into Groundhog year. Music I presumed I’d owned since 2020, I only purchased in May? And so forth. Could things get weirder? Well yes, actually. Apartment had its busiest year since 2014. An EP, an album and merch? Sure have a look over on the Bandcamp. Huge thanks to everyone who has…
2021 Wrap Up
One of the positives of 2021 is that I DJed more than I have in a few years. Between our outdoor parties over the summer, a new webradio show with Jwan Allen, a handful of post-vaccine indoor gigs, the 18 months late debut of my monthly with Eric Justin, and
TENEMENTS Album / 10 Years of Apartment
In February 2019 my label Apartment was all but dead. I won’t expand on the reasons for this but some music was returned to people and I felt like I’d finally stopped jumping back and forth doing a will I / won’t I on what sometimes felt like an especially long-winded experiment in money gouging….
Fall 2021 New Records
Somehow October passed us by without a new post, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Before I get to all the new heat, I have some info about other goings on. My co-conspirator Jwan Allen and I have a new web radio show about to begin on Universal Rhythms Radio. They have a very nice…
New Records September 2021
Summer is winding down. I spent a lovely week at the beach in August, and since coming back have been out DJing a wedding, some outdoor joints, and another little bar night. Almost feels normal aside from, you know, the raging global pandemic. Thankfully this month’s haul of music sounds especially good. Let’s hop to…
Short Attention Mix CDs
Historically, the “Mix CD Series” has been a bit of an irrelevance for fans of deep techno and house. Most of the name brand versions of this concept lean towards choosing bigger DJs whose selections are meant to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Every now and then you get lucky and one comes out…
Utopia Los Angeles Provides A Space Where We Can All Be Free
The Covid-19 pandemic over the past year and a half has brought about change that will be lasting. From people’s outlook on careers to the way we interact with one another. For certain my perspective of what is important to me has altered immensely in this time. Recently as of late, I attended the Los…
Early August New Jams
Soooo things in the world are going swimmingly eh? Or maybe not so much. Whatever. The stupid rule everything now, we are all subject to the worst nonsense they can come up with. Until people with functional brains become willing to do whatever is necessary to wrest control away from the idiots, we will stay…
