Hello tumblr. I am mirroring this elusive anti-season known as “Chicago Spring” and inadvertently teasing you.  But rest assured, my love never waivers — only my goldfish-style attention span does.

Recent times have featured ignoring my academic duties with mixed success, enjoying Chicago, loving the radio show, typing on a website, discovering the shortcomings of social media, reviving my sub-par acting abilities, and a brief but much needed recharge return home.

In more clickable terms, I’ve started writing for the indie music website, The Heard Project.  Check out my reviews of Pantha du Prince, and Mount Kimbie; as well as an interview with the French band, Jamaica.  On a different note, check out my chat with Malice of Clipse for CY Magazine.

For radio radness, be sure to visit our tumblr, Bare Breeze Radio and download podcasts.  The UK Special, Trios Tribute, and Detroit Specials are good places to start.

Finally, a big shout out to a.fé favorites Dipped In Dollars who mentioned us in relation to our friends, Black Light Dinner Party.  Nice! 

Connect @2lfr3d to have a conversation. In the meantime, I’ll be teased while waiting for summer.  Wish me luck.

When I heard that “Chillwave” was a genre, music categorization became dead to me.  It seemed that any pre-post-core-funk-wave-tech tune that popped up would get its new self-defining stamp.  

Maybe I’m just jealous I don’t have my own sub-obscure genre to brand my band with. (Subcore anyone?)  In any case, it’s no surprise I’d (I now shamefully admit) roll my eyes upon seeing this Post-Dubstep mix.  

Well, rewind and repeat because this mix (and the blog generally) are well worth your earospace.  With an all-star line-up that would even make the Miami Heat blush, this mix has all the a.fé favorites:  James Blake, Jamie xx, Mount Kimbie, Burial, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Deadboy.  So it’s time for me to stop hating and for you to turn this up.  Hardcore.
