today i shared 5 demos from my upcoming album with my fan club members. it’s a wild feeling prepping to release new original music again. yeah you guys hear my remixes pretty often, but there’s something really special about sharing work you’ve been sitting on for a few years. i’m working with an art director who i’ve dreamt of working with for years, i’m singing again, i’m going on a small tour...it all hardly feels real!

tomorrow i’m playing brownies & lemonade forthe first time. it’s a show i’ve dreamt about for maybe 8 years now. the day i landed in LA, i went to a brownies show and said that it’d be me up there very soon. took me long enough!! lol - everything in its own timeline!
rsvp for this show (LA): text “NPZ” to 323-332-1651

another wild thing i wanted to share is that i met skrillex breifly the other night at a small intimate show he did with dylan brady. my homie sam got invited and was able to bring a plus 1. i am so thankful he chose me. this might sound corny, but i sometimes imagine life in this world without skrillex. if i did see his show back in 2011, i wouldn’t be making electronic music, i wouldn’t have my friends i have now, i wouldn’t have a career. there is just no way any of that happens without his existence. i have a lot to thank him for and one day i hope to say that to him.
last thing for this month’s blog post is that i had a call with an old friend. he’s a youtuber who goes by the name of steezy kane. he’s hosting some sort of coachella after party and i think me & the girlfriend experience are gonna play a set. more on that later...
some music i implore you to listen to (not mine)
urfriendSALLY’s “LOVE-DEATH” (indie pop)
i met the 2 members of this band recently at a park in sherman oaks california. vocalist, saree played this song for a small group of us and i was so entranced. i have been listening to this song and the album that it’s from for a few weeks now nearly every day. this band makes me feel like i’m in on a secret. maybe the secret is the band itself, for now atleast. i feel like they are going to be a huge name in a very short amount of time.

Jump Source’s “Fold” (house)
i discovered jump source at a club called public records in brooklyn, ny last summer. andrew vanwyngarden from “MGMT” spun another track of theirs and i think in that very moment i fell in love with deep house music. my favorite part of this song is the little saw lead that comes in around 1:55.

Total Fucking Darkness’ “Give Me Everything You Own” (indie pop/house)
total fucking darkness is a new electronic music project from one of my favorite writers,
torquil campbell. torq has been in the band “stars” for more than 20 years now, and they are responsible for writing some of the most beautiful sad songs i have ever heard. i always thought that synova existed somewhere between indie-emo & edm, so i feel like this project also bridges a similar gap. also the name of this project is probably my favorite artist name of all time.
