june is upon us! hitting a buzzer beater to get this out in time, but that’s just on brand for the energy in nyc as of late. i’m feeling extremely grateful to be playing in new cities this june and will be repping the music that has inspired me. it was wonderful to see so many homies this may, hope to kick it again soon. may the sun & sounds of summer treat you well.

let’s get into it!

6/3 - Listening Session @ Silence Please

A bit down to the wire on this one! Kicking off things today on one of my favorite systems in the city at Silence Please. I first played here June of last year and it was a pretty formative gig for me; one of my first times really going deep for a vinyl session and the momentum from that really carried far in hindsight.

If you’re free and in the in the area come hang! Will be playing some chill dubby records with bits of idm & maybe some psych rock in the mix.

2-5pm. 132 Bowery Floor 2, New York, NY 10013

6/13 - Antic @ The Listening Club

Incredibly stoked to be playing in Chicago for the first time! I visited late last summer (shoutout S & A) and had the best time digging for wax; I came back with 45 records in my carry on not even counting double lps. Well worth it!

That same trip I met Nate & Conrad who then went on to start the antic project; now coming full circle with me coming to town to play at the listening club - an inspiring DIY space that reminds me of something between 8ball and L&SD here in ny. Looking forward, humbled, and stoked to for a day of dub techno!

If you’re in Chicago you can RSVP here; it’ll be nearby the ukrainian village and I’m on 3-5pm.

6/25 - Stereo - Zurich

Kicking off the summer with a tour across hifi spaces in Europe! Blessed to travel with my records to play and I look forward to sharing the sound I’ve been refining here at home. This’ll be one of the most dance-y vibes of the trip; definitely spinning most of the Grava 4 record I’ll be bringing.

Decompressing in the swiss mountains for the rest of month before getting back to it in July, more on that soon!

If we happen to cross path I’ll be on 10p-2a; Brauerstrasse 36, 8004 Zürich.

Basal Rate on 8 Ball Radio

This month I’ll be welcoming Statice & Echo to Basal Rate!

6/4 - Episode 91 with Statice

A proper club music connoisseur, Statice is the mind behind studio celosia; a cozy and accessible music studio that some of the finest music crafted in brooklyn these last few years has passed through. Finding some fun edits in my bag for this one.

6/4 6-8pm et - 8ballradio.nyc

6/18 - Episode 92 with Echo

Welcoming Echo for the second episode of the month. I saw them play at the great beyond night at public records this year and was super impressed with their selection and attitude on the decks. It’ll be proper, banging midwest dance music.

6/18 6-8pm et - 8ballradio.nyc

Recent Rotations

Sharing some fav bandcamp projects I’ve picked up lately

neverland by IT-XPO

We happened to meet by chance at Ergot records right before he moved out to Chicago! Found out in the moment we were playing the same gig with Antic and will be seeing each other very soon, gotta love it!

I subsequently went down a rabbit hole of the IT-XPO discography and was met with a really fresh take on dubby sonics; proper club music with a dreamy edge.

DARKS!TAR by GUAVA

I met Zoe through Swallowed Open Decks (shoutout DJ Girlcrush) and have been enjoying this EP she put out at the start of the year. It’s got the right touch of bounce & attitude for me.

Thank you for reading if you made it all this way! May the sound carry you forward.
