So sorry for the delay. Things in San Francisco have become hectic. As you know, I moved up to SF from Los Angeles in December of 2012. "The plan" was to have a central office (AKA: Art Table) up here to paint for the various studios in Hollywood.
"The plan" was that I was going to drive down once a month to hand off the work, but since being here the work has tripled. The deadlines are aggressive and the work is extremely complex, and being so far from the central office where all my work is distributed has been quite hard for me to handle.
Granted my stay in San Francisco was only to be temporary, but I'm already in transit to reconnect my work back in Los Angeles until this major project is over with. It is quite heartbreaking for me since I've tried again and again to move back where all my inspiration and love for dj'ing started, but this is just the way it works. I am happy to return to Los Angeles and reconnect with my work again, and next year when all is said and done, I plan on revisiting another place if possible.
That being said, the deadlines with my primary source of income and .. lets face it, dream to be an established fellow in ze' arts, has compromised my time to do these shows.. BUT NO MORE. I've finally got the session down and a flow is being established to connect you to sounds I've been spinning these past 6+ years.
Heres the first session of "As Heard on Television", a set all about soundtracks to some of the films I loved. When I first was compiling this, most of the tracks were of tracks that existed on normal EP's (Ex: Bjork's "Hunter" featured on X Files) and so forth. However as I really got into the groove of things, I wanted to really infuse soundtracks as methods of ambient music, and mix them with the shoegazer sounds of Gregg Araki's films.. .. This came to quite an eclectic set that waves through warm blurry guitars and nice cool synth melodies. I think you'll dig this show. On the next few sessions I'll be honing back into the sets you remember from the early BNB days, and bring ya'll back to sounds you love so much.
