It’s finally here – Episode #358 of The Minimal Beat! Last Saturday, I was so graciously asked to stop by Chicago’s Lumpen Radio to curate a one-hour slot of tunes as guest DJ on The Minimal Beat, a weekly series featured exclusively on 105.5 WLPN-LP. The Minimal Beat is also Chicago-based blog showcasing relevant music with no genre-specific focus – cool, right? Listen to me ramble and discuss the local music scene, revisit some of my favorite concert memories, and so much more.

Canadian producer and DJ Kaytranada put his take on “Waitin”, while LMK has a new sound and additional support from Princess Nokia, Cupcakke, Junglepussy, and Ms Boogie.

Voyage Media (formed in Los Angeles, but in Boston, Dallas, and Chicago to name a few) represents a mission to “build a platform that fosters collaboration and support for small businesses, independent artists and entrepreneurs, local institutions” – and so much more. In a shocking turn of events, it turns out that my good friend Viviani Valadez (who was recently showcased in a similar local story with Voyage) so graciously (and secretly) nominated me to be featured in their brand new series, The Trailblazers: Rewriting the Narrative.

Peep the brand new video for Tommy Genesis’ latest track “100 Bad”, which recently popped up in an episode of HBO’s “Insecure” (so you know it’s hot). Along with that, Genesis and Charli XCX teamed up on a remix of the song which was released shortly after.
