Totems are held in the air at parties here, there- but not (yet) quite everywhere. Seen more in certain scenes than others- these custom creations show off a crew’s character and location.

And I find them fascinating. Read/listen to “Totem Tales” for a deep dive on the why’s- and other observations as of late. 🪧 👀 by @rantsandraves__

Prancing in picturesque places where sustenance grows is grounding. So when stars aligned to go to a proper Midwest festival on a farm, I leapt at the chance.

And it was in the heartland that I got to “The Root of It.” Read/listen- link in bio 💛🌽🌙💛✨ by @rantsandraves__

“Is It Really a Rave?” It’s not just party semantics. Because it impacts we view ourselves and the cornucopia of scenes. Link in bio 👀 / 🎧 ❤️

Whether you live in a massive metropolis or a tiny town- the places to gather and dance might dwindle over time. Or it could be that they're simply be non-existent from the jump. Those DIY prone might be driven to carve out space, and by proxy change culture. But just what does it take to create something from seemingly nothing?

I’m joined by Gage Spex, co-collaborator of The Spectrum and Dreamhouse; experimental and queer spaces that have fundamentally altered NYC arts and music scenes. Tune in to hear how they did it- and perhaps get inspired.

I’m joined by Gage Spex, co-collaborator of The Spectrum and Dreamhouse; experimental and queer spaces that have fundamentally altered NYC arts and music scenes. As havens for expression and exploration- they pushed boundaries, dramatically impacting people personally and society at large. It took vision, grit, determination and a chockfull of creativity to navigate challenges in order to build and maintain these communal spaces. Tune in to hear how they did it- and perhaps get inspired.

Energy comes and it goes, but it doesn't die.

Just does that mean in the context of our music driven, party going lives?
