Music and travel have always sat closely in my soul. The openness of travel - connecting with new people, getting absorbed in new culture, living deeply in the moment - has sealed strong emotional ties with the soundtracks that cloaked my journeys. (see below for some of my place-sound connections).
Visiting China and Shanghai for the first time, it was a pleasure to not only observe all the newness with a private score but to be able to create a musical experience for a party full of welcoming, happy, smiling, dancing, dirty music lovers. To give as well as receive.
In this set, you'll find tracks that reflect my perspective (Long Way from Home) the culture that I was looking to experience (China House), some stuff at the intersection (I See the Future) and just a bunch of good, fun, dirty beats.. I'm releasing my Shanghai set into two episodes so stay tuned for the second half coming soon!
