Recently, I was lucky to meet up with Heeziegreezie, a masterful footwork producer and a genuine joy of a person. We dug into his latest LP, his history with dance, the emotional core of his work, the importance of building new worlds, and plenty more.

Weekend energy from Akanbi 🔊

Listen to the Fresh Kicks mix here: djmag.com/features/fresh…

In my debut for DJ Mag, I spoke with the one and only Akanbi, an absolute joy of a person who knows his way around a killer party. We went wide, talking about smuggling radios into boarding school, the origins of GROOVY GROOVY, and so much more.

My set from Subglow is featured here. Thank you so much for the kind words 🩵🌠

In my latest for Otto Von Biz Markie, I went deep on my favorite sets from last month. As per usual, there's a bit of everything here: old-school rave-ups, zoned-out trip-hop, bleary-eyed ambience, chilly classical music, white-hot club tools, and a ton more.

Back to covering the Brazilian funk scene with a review for Pitchfork!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Spent the last month trying to describe the new funk.BR comp from NTS Radio, which shows the endless and impertinent creativity of the funk mandelão underworld

In a time when electronic music journalists are leaving the field in droves, writers like Michael McKinney (Michael McKinney) are more valuable than ever.

His work at Otto Von Biz Markie is especially great, and today he was nice enough to pop by First Floor with a guest recommendation.

Interview I did w Otto Von Biz Markie at the end of last year 💚

Slam on the CDJ is back. For Otto Von Biz Markie, I explored the DJ sets that moved me most last month. There's a ton to love here: world-weary house, screwed-up pop, unapologetic trance belters, new-school dembow, sun-kissed chill-out cuts, and so much more.

Had a nice chat with real one Michael McKinney back in December about such things, plus DJing, fantasy and “gay psychedelic vibes” 💗

Last year, I was lucky enough to speak with Jake Muir, a critical figure in new-school sound art. We went wide, exploring his approaches to production, his work with the GRM, rebuilding the wheel, and more.

Our conversation is available at Otto Von Biz Markie:
