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.

If the topic is Detroit music — in all its varied forms — it usually doesn’t take long for me to reach the outer limits. The deep soundtrack of techno from Moodymann and Carl Craig pair easily with the Motown grooves of Marvin Gaye. But I don’t stop there. Rock and roll hailing from the…

I recently had the opportunity to be the voice of the world-famous Muscle Beach. But not in the way that you’d expect. Instead of focusing on the well-defined bodies that made the beach famous, the topic now included the declining mussel population that resides just adjacent to the historic landmark. It’s a homonymic trick of…
