Neptunian Influence is celebrating two years since inception and I’m feeling cheerful about the past, present and future of this mission. I’m honored to host the incredible, heartfelt transmissions that we have so far, contributed by some of the most talented DJs and producers in the realm. The future looks *bright* (within dark vortices) as we are about to launch the official Neptunian Influence website and announce the third annual Neptunian Influence brunch during Movement in Detroit. Other endeavors include brining Neptunian Influence to local FM airwaves and a collaborative monthly residency in Long Beach, California. As for the podcast, we have some very fine musically-inclined individuals lined up to deliver mixes in the months to come. You won’t be disappointed!
Here is Neptunian Influence’s two-year transmission made with love, passion and compassion by yours truly. Take one was smoother, but take two was riskier, so naturally I went with take two 🙂 I’m definitely enjoying my new Ortofon needles. I’ve been trying not to buy records lately, only because I can’t really afford them, but I couldn’t resist buying the record that I open with, “Da Sacred Symbols Of Sun And Moon” by Solomon Angelo. It is wildly, out-of-this-world good and I highly recommend. Most of the other tracks come from my favorite records of last year. All of the tracks are very special for various reasons: the feelings they vitalize; who made them; the record labels they were released on; where they were found; how they were acquired; their song meanings; their song titles. I live by the words of DJ Maaco’s “I’m In My Lane,” I dream to the sounds of “When U Wish Upon A *” by Solomon Angelo, and I worry about the future of the planet…cue “141 Gates” by DJ Overdose. I play my very favorite James Shinra track which I’ve been saving up for a couple years, and my last track is from an absolute treasure of a series by Tony Allen & Africa 70.
Symphonic jazz fest meets cyber funk fest in the cosmos. Meet you in the Great Dark Spot.
Love,
