  1983 by Flying Lotus It’s interesting to revisit a record that feels foundational to your listening habits, overall ear for life. In 2006 I was twenty years old, a sophomore in college. One could say the world was in front of me. I had found my way to Seattle from a rural Southern Oregon coastal town with the intention of partying, finding a job in the music industry and I suppose doing the college thing. Quickly I found my way with all three, they conveniently intertwined and life felt exciting, fresh, full. Having grown up on a diet of hiphop, beats and rhymes I was convinced life was mine to make it what I wanted and I wanted it to be fun. I craved new experiences that were not present in my hometown and I found them quickly. Through a family friend I landed a job producing and board operating rather large country radio shows. Through my college I found myself plugged in with the school's radio station and its location on Capital Hill led me to Obese Productions and all the...

Creative outlets shine when the world burns. There is no doubt that whatever the new normal turns out to be (news flash: we are already living it), as a society we will look back on the art created AC (After COVID) as a transition into new realms. Genius minds paid to stay home and cook up whatever inspiration they could muster. If you have been able to walk through this wild ride and not entirely succumb to the detrimental effects that isolation, fear and chaos all around can have on the mind, an applause is warranted. These last eighteen months have been hard. But they also have been an opportunity to explore different paths, change careers, reinvest in spiritual practices and connect once more with what it means to be productive for yourself. If we flashback into time to look at the world post Y2K as the towers fell, war erupted and banks collapsed there was a distinct feeling in the air that times had changed. Out of that chaos musicians around the world were concocting evolved sou...
