It is inspired by the amazing music he has found on his record collecting adventures. Music that ranges from instrumental hip-hop, to downtempo, to funk, to progressive (i.e. not boring) jazz. Straight-up beautiful music that you can play at any time, anyplace, in any situation; grown man music. The grooves that any hip-hop producer would want to sample; the rhythms that any hip-hop emcee or poet would want to rhyme to; the songs that any DJ would spin. Basically, grown man music.

Audible Hype is really good blog.  I was put onto it maybe 9-10 months ago and read it faithfully.  Naturally, it’s a huge compliment for me to be featured on the website and contribute to its main focus, which is to provide tools and insight for independent artists.  Please check it out the interview, and if you’re an independent artist of any sort it wouldn’t be bad move to subscribe to the site via RSS.  In fact, it would be a good move.

For those who live in Columbus or the surrounding area, I’ll be playing a set this Friday August 6th @ Carabar in Columbus Oh.  The show is free and all ages are welcome.  The show is in celebration of Carabar’s 5-year anniversary, and there are a few other bands playing as well.  If you know about Carabar, then you probably know the owner Ron, who will be DJing for me that night.  Since i imagine this will be a pretty fun event, I’m going to try out a few new songs from the upcoming album, and see how they work in a live setting.

If you’re in the area I hope to see you out.
