new releases from this week that I want you to hear ➡️ by @bopsmagazine

live music blog 001: went out last Thursday night to the Blades Reborn night hosted by @adam.atrix at @decibelchicago to preview his remix album.

Since I reviewed the Blades album earlier this year I was excited to hear the album in a different context and Adam and friends did not disappoint. Was very impressed by the vibes for a weeknight! It was also the first show with live singers I’ve seen at dB since they reopened, they should definitely do more of these.

Wish I had more photos and videos to capture the vibe but it was dark as hell in there of course - @chillona222 @mistyestelle @daru.fm @iamelbrujo were killers and I’m sure the rest of the lineup was too (I didn’t make it until 4am because I’m weak but I’m proud of everyone who did).

See you next time - Steven 💙 by @bopsmagazine

@adamatrixx offers up a sophomore album that blends the sacred and profane, resulting in what feels more like the inner monologue of a clubber than music for the club itself. 🗡️🪽🗡️ Our review is live at the link in bio now! by @bopsmagazine
