I first stumbled upon the music of London underground house mainstay Mr. G in 2000, off a progressive house compilation I bought in Baltimore called Duty Free 2. This was my introduction to the sound of deep house, and though I wasn’t aware of the distinction at the time, it’s effect lasted long enough to […]
Hello again, readers and listeners. Where have the past couple months gone? Perhaps it’s just best to forget, with the winter refusing to loosen its icy grip on our fair city. Now, we all look forward with even more anticipation to the warmer months, completely forgetting about how unbearable heat can be just as pleasant […]
Ptaki – Krystyna by The Very Polish Cut Outs Beats in Space has been a constant source of new track discoveries for me for the past few years. For over a decade, Tim Sweeney has been bringing some of the most interesting DJ’s and producers into the studio at WNYU to lay down rare grooves […]
I got a chance to meet two of my absolute favorite deep house producers last month, both of whom happen to be from Melbourne.

The fourth and final semester of my graduate work in Design & Technology at Parsons here in NYC has commenced, and the greatest challenge of my fledgling career is now upon me. In advance, there isn’t much hope for weekly activity around here, but I’ll be back to normal by May. I have continued to […]
No time nor need for a lengthy introduction to today’s post, let’s get right into it and hit play without thinking twice. Today’s image comes via Designspiration; I’m actually surprised at how many designers I talk to who don’t know of the site. Well-curated, reliably amazing design inspiration. Great Weekend – That’s The Thing (To […]
Fall approaches, and in a flurry of yellow leaves and blustering wind, I find myself overwhelmed with the rigor of my design study.
