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 hope that many of you reader-listener-explorers out there can say you know the name of Theo Parrish. I fear few of us actually boast any of his material in our libraries, and an even smaller proportion who own or have even heard a substantial bit of his discography. I decided to do some deep […]
I got a chance to meet two of my absolute favorite deep house producers last month, both of whom happen to be from Melbourne.

Fall approaches, and in a flurry of yellow leaves and blustering wind, I find myself overwhelmed with the rigor of my design study. I rarely feel like a designer anymore, more like a design researcher, or a design scholar. Sometimes, the only thing we can lean on are our favorite tunes. Since I always keep […]
