This one is a nice long sloooooow burn...

Deep Space Gallery is a really cool contemporary arts gallery a short walk away in my neighborhood of Jersey City, and home to this awesome work Space Rocks by Shamona Stokes. It’s a gallery, incubator, and home for many local artists of all kinds, and a place I’ve played at many times over the last few years. I’ve gotten to know so many talented new/old DJs there in a short couple years, most of whom play vinyl and an eclectic range of styles. Being part of this community has helped me deepen my own sound and understanding of what it means to spin and curate music, all music, all genres.

I’ve been wanting to record a set like this for almost a year and never got around to it. It’s a bunch of different chill and vibey tunes I’ve played in bits and pieces around my home base of Jersey City the last few years: downtempo, trip hop, industrial, house, jazz, you name it. Deep Space asked me to come spin for a few hours last month for the closing weekend of their “Wallpaper” show, and I knew that’s where I wanted to finally record this. I threw all the different sounds I’ve been personally listening to onto a flash drive and walked on over there.

I hope you enjoy this almost 4 hours journey featuring so many grooves I’ve been enjoying on my headphones and home sound system the last few years! Clear some time in your schedule, turn the lights down, and *really* get into it ;)
