Jeff Mills for Resident Advisor & Fuck The Facts for NoiseCreep

One of my highest priorities is to post my writings right about the time they're published, but from time to time it's difficult to stay on point. I'm still living on a fantasy summer island, but have been keeping myself plugged into my two favorite genres: metal and techno. Before I left for Fire Island, I spent my final, epic weekend with a string of memorable nights. On Wednesday, my friend Mattis and I drove up to Boston for a RBMA Thomas Oberheim workshop and Le Loup at Midweek Techno. Thursday was Raster-Noton at Make It New, and Friday - the day the up button broke on my car stereo's volume - we drove back to Brooklyn with a full car for Bunker, which featured R-N and Insideout (I think Grant is my new hero) and an epic 6hour tagteam between Jan Krueger and Derek Plaslaiko. The following night was Jeff Mills at the Sullivan Room, topped with a Cadenza party on the Bar 13 rooftop the following afternoon. Easily one of the best (and longest) weekends of my life. My review of Mills was a feat - making sense of one night amongst all of that can be difficult when you consider how much one event will blend into another. It was truly a weekend of loving life, and Mills' set (especially when he played "The Bells") was the opposite of a heartbreak.

True love?

Secondly, I'm on the verge of digging into new metal, and I have big plans with NoiseCreep that hit on a very personal level in the near future. Still, we wanted to know what Fuck The Facts couldn't leave home without - aside from, of course, instruments and merch - because they are just an awesome band. Please go see them if they're coming to your town.

Audion - "Look At The Moon" for Resident Advisor

Audion reviews are sparse on the Internet, and in my world he is a rather big deal. I'm happy to have reviewed the latest single, "Look At The Moon," which I've been hearing often and loving every second. I'm hoping to hear It's Full Of Blinding Light soon - the limited 12" that ran at a mere 50 copies and was only available via the Ghostly store and a small shop in Berlin. I know a lot of people, but I imagine I'll have to do a decent amount of digging just to lay eyes on the vinyl. Nevertheless, I'm always looking forward to more from Audion. "I Am The Car" and "Look At The Moon" are two pieces of what looks like a much larger puzzle, and I think this will be Dear's strongest alias yet.
