May is looking stacked! Craft Beats on Fridays at @518craft with good vibes all month long. This month’s lineup features @devcoll@raidosounds@djtrumastr@groop_lab@itsthefrontroom and @electronic_meanderings . Come hang, nod your head, and dance. Every Friday at 9:30pm (*) 💃🏼🕺🏻🪩
(*) The 5/29 date doubles as the official warmup for the next @lowercase518 MOVE YOU extravaganza at @waitingroomtroy . Weather permitting, we’ll be outside on Broadway from 8 to 10 and transition to The Waiting Room on Franklin Alley after.
Continuing with the groop.lab mix series we have denada with the second part of his space trilogy, Espacio II. "With the astronaut adventurer captured by the jealous and manipulative cosmic horror entity known as Them, his lover travels to the deepest parts of the Universe to rescue him and bring them both back to Earth. But can she resist the same power?".
I did not produce any of these tracks.
(Tracklist coming soon on soundcloud)

Good Friday everyone! I just posted my latest mix on SoundCloud. "DJ Choddy Fortitude Mix" is an introspection on the idea of possessing the strength of mind that enables a person to encounter danger, bear pain or adversity with courage. I selected tracks with reoccurring elements and themes in an attempt to create a narrative that is open to the listener's interpretation.
I sincerely appreciate all those who take the time to listen! Enjoy! Link to SoundCloud in bio

This Saturday, November 1st, we will be building up some grooves for ARCHTOBER: Troy Edition! ART BLOCK PARTY by @collarworks and @tap_inc
The evening will be all about celebrating experimental contemporary art and architecture in Collar Works' future outdoor Art Yard space. We've been asked to provide some DJ vibes and a dance set that evokes the spirit of architecture. We're constructing a bit of a hardstyle (mediumstyle?) set with layered textured sounds to match the energy. We're also VERY excited to be mixing alongside the insurmountable @architraveband who will be playing what we're sure will be an incredible set!
(FYI: If you haven't heard their latest album you should. We highly recommend it.)
There will be so much going on in the Art Yard we can't name it all here! Come see for yourself!
