DEPTH PERCEPTION

Hello there! It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, but I’ve been on an extended journey that has landed me in New York City. It’s a different world here for sure; this is an endless city. I’ve already had a chance to taste the local music scene and so far it’s been exceptional. I checked out the Bunker over in Brooklyn to catch Derek Plaslaiko rocking out with minimal tech breaks (for lack of a better term.) Then headed out to The Sullivan Room to see Chris Fortier (thanks Sleepy and Boo!) Tomorrow is a party called “Stranded” over in Brooklyn where I’ll get my first taste of the NY underground.

I also need to make a serious musical recommendation. Check out the album “Untrue” by Burial. It’s the most brilliant and beautiful piece of music I’ve heard in a while. I’ve never really been into 2-step, but this album takes it to a whole new level. It’s like a soundtrack to the best Anime film ever made. It cracks and sizzles with a buried heat beneath the surface of its orchestral majesty. It’s been a while since I’ve kept replaying an album over and over. This is the sound of the future. Check it.
