nowadays set for subglow/Live 10 šāؾš¢Ö“ą»š§ą¾ą½²
āThis is a recording from my three-hour opening set at Nowadays Nonstop last fall. I played from 10pm to 1am, a slot Iāve come to cherish for the freedom it offers. When the floor isnāt packed out and chuggināĀ yet, thereās room to weave together sonic worlds that might otherwise never meet during peak time.Ā
It was one of the most fun nights Iāve had behind the decks in recent memory. I surfed the currents between trip hop, dub techno, latin house, hand perc freakers, bass, ambientā¦all sounds near and dear to me, while experiencing that special arc of an opening setā¦its beginning and its end as distinct chapters of the same story.
Thereās something about those early club momentsā¦the Nowadays doors freshly opened, the space still empty. A foggy, floating dance floor where the early-birds bob like seagulls at the mouth of a grotto. Then, gradually, the shiftā¦.pulling slowly from downtempo into choppier, more frenetic waters. By 1am, the waters are at a perfect roiling boil, the energy built up enough to hand off to the peak-time captain of the night, Coffintexts. Pure bliss!
Hope you enjoy the journey ^_^ Thanks to
