Hey hey everyone — very excited to announce that @boygrump and I will be playing next Sunday, May 17 at @millardsheetsartcenter from 7-9 Since this show is a part of the LA County Fair, IT IS TICKETED — so it would be best to make a whole day/night out of it and check out the rest of the fair while you’re out there. DM me for more info 🖤 There is a really stellar show curated by @keith_art_archive there that I also have work in! Stoked all around it’s going to be a great evening 💋

Releasing this very old track for the first time today 🥲 I made this track in high school — probably in the year 2012. For context, at this point in my life I was more or less exclusively listening to dubstep and Boards of Canada. I was teaching myself how to make music and having fun doing it. I had a pirated version of Fruity Loops that didn’t allow me to save anything, so all of the tracks that I made around this time I had to make in one session lest I lose the track entirely. I actually still use this old version of FL Studio to this day. Shoutout @bydanenakama ‘s thumb; photo by @departurepoem
