I’m a fan of the Phish. There, I said it. And it’s not because I like to bounce around rooms. It’s because of their covers. Ever since I saw The Last Waltz, I have been completely inebriated by musicians exiting their comfort zones and singing songs that they dhave been not became and singing songs that […]

The kid Barry sent me this literally weeks ago but somehow in the endless waltz of learning, work, music and insatiable hunger for more that’s my life I haven’t been able to sit down and post it, until now. For a quiet guy like me, one who enjoys the dwellings of solitude so much I […]

I can’t lie, I’ve had this tape since mid December. I did have an extremely busy end of the year and going back to NYC for two weeks didn’t exactly help my productivity but that really has nothing to do with it. In fact this tape has been complete since Steph first sent it over. […]

As we proceed, to give you what you need…” Time flies when you’re having fun man. Lately I’ve taken to myself, embraced being alone and finding my zone, it’s a beautiful thing. That’s where I was when I started EMPT, met Steph and built the ground work for all that is my life today. I […]
It’s always magic in music when everything just seems to fit. The way the lyrics move through the melody to personify the words; the way the production works to emphasize the dissonance; the way the sound pulsates through your veins, into your bones to resonate in your gut before bursting through your every pore in dance. […]
We all want so much man, over achievement and extreme ambition are glorified and admired almost universally these days but have you ever stopped to ask why?… Hustle, hustle, hustle. Grind, grind, grind. Why does everyone got hustle on their mind?” MIA was something else back then, I remember first hearing that hook and questioning […]

The kid Barry Poppins sent me this a minute ago and less than a minute later I’m sharing it with you. Flight Facilities will be releasing it on Soundcloud in less than a week so stay tuned. Undeniably good, enjoy.
Music has taken me many places man but my most recent adventure might be the one to top them all. I spent last week on a 26,000 acre private Villa off Mexico’s virgin coast. I was there curating the music for someones 50th birthday, this person shall remain nameless but all I can say is that […]

Flight Facilities took up residency at Australia’s Triple J last October and the simply incredible result was four, separate, decade-spanning mixes that required an immense amount of research and curation. They’ve finally released the first of those mixes which spans the 10-year period of 1972-1982. The mix is flush with seminal works, sound bytes from historical figures, […]
“Claire De Lune” was unequivocally one of the best (in my opinion, the best) songs in 2012. It’s rare for a downtempo song to completely enrapture the bloggosphere–but Flight Facilities are simply on a completely different stratosphere than their contemporaries, crafting an unparalleled, hypnotic sound that ironically emerged from “Nu Disco.” I haven’t met a person who doesn’t love Claire De […]
