[ ARCHIVING ]

hey tiny.

the big names and the stadium acts don't need any help. they've got enough lights.

tired of the same corporate lists ignoring the weird, dark heartbeat of this town? me too. i hate seeing the best rooms sitting empty because the word didn't get out.

so i lean over the west hills to find the basement shows and the strange meetups you actually want to be at. if it's underground and it's real, it goes on my list.

below is a record of everywhere we've been. curated parties, psychedelic atmospheres, and enough heavy bass to crack the foundation.

the city also repeats itself. i keep track of that too.

you found the back room. i let everyone read one a month for free. after that, it's seven dollars to stop counting. the extended cut, the recurring calendar, all of it, every week.

[go deeper]

stay low.
