Sometimes it just feels good to go with the flow. In times like these, the flow is not what you’d expect. We’re fully interrupted and we’ve lost our sense of balance. But at the end of the day, the music just keeps on playing. Which is why I’ve titled this show “Another Day” and made…

The (almost) in-studio interview with ADULT. is featured on the latest edition of Alternate Take on dublab. It’s been several years since we talked on an official level about their music, but it felt like we hadn’t missed a beat.

Things get deep — from the deep south (or notions of it) and deep techno to deep space. And there’s always room for new(ish) Marvin Gaye, Ryuichi Sakamoto and a Radio Slave remix of Apparat.

I also share the music of R. Elizabeth (artwork featured here) on the new Alternate Take. There’s Lusine, Jackie Wilson and a pre-Funkadelic Bootsy Collins project called House Guests. Let’s not forget the nearly lost collaboration between Grace Jones and A Certain Ratio, shared in all its scratch-track beauty. There are a ton of new…
