newly back from a quick expedition in europe; paris, venice, & barcelona. all super dope but hafta say that barecelona currently holds new top spot in my list of rad places id live if i got to be a free-range human. checked out Sonar festival which was both gratifiying & disappointing. held within the parameters of gorgeous museum grounds, juicy PA systems, & international hipsters, it’s also quickly ruined by this very difficult to accept reality of trash in the city! by the end of the afternoon, i was literally kicking piles of garbage out of my foot path to be able to stand/dance around. so much that i avoided an entire night & complained about it a lot a lot. some great music, a lot of bad music. not just music i dont like but baaaaaaad music. but the acts i enjoyed disrupted my brain in delicious ways; Dorian Concept, Cardopusher, Joker, Debruit, Onra, & some cutie petite spanish singer/songwriter on piano. then the LuckyMe family outta Glasgow did a nite after sonar that gave me all i wanted in a slighly cleaner space & at shockingly free event. CHECK EVERYTHING OUT THAT THIS CREW PRODUCES.
so back in tropical, exotic Oakland… all sorts of inspired & rested & so hyped for the summer adventures ahead. new tracks co-produced w/ iLL Gates proud to share, new cities to infiltrate, & memories of sparkling wines, fist-sized figs, moto rides, & cultural awesomeness to keep me fueled.
¡ciao!
