new dj set from the girlfriend experience
the girlfriend experience is me + orno + purj. we were invited to santa fe new mexico to play in george rr martin’s movie theater. what i can tell you from being on stage is that i actually witnessed lightning be captured in a bottle. it’s the most insane shit you’ll ever watch and its fully improvised. czech it out!
february 2026
i am finally closing in on the final stages of my 3rd album. i still have some large tasks ahead, though things are finally taking shape in a way that i’m very happy with. for the first time in a few years, i will be getting behind the microphone again, and i would be lying if i said it didn’t scare the shit out of me. i feel as though a good music producer knows exactly what sound should be used and how it should be executed. many times in the writing process for this album, i said with confidence “a synova vocal belongs here” but the task felt daunting. i think you’ll be watching me in real time get over that fear. not of singing in front of crowds or anything, but literally writing good lyrics. i can make you interesting sounds all day on my laptop, but i don’t want to be cliche when you hear my voice!
i’ve decided that this album will only be available on soundcloud, bandcamp, youtube. if you’ve ever listened to me on major streaming platforms, i appreciate your support endlessly, but i cannot morally continue to release my music in these places. platforms such as spotify invest most of their money into things like generative AI, miltary weapons, and their own wallets before ever giving a penny to the artists that built the platform. i don’t think the sites like bandcamp are the end-all-be-all solution, but it’s the best solution we have in 2026.
if you would like to financially support the album and be credited as an executive producer, please consider signing up for my monthly fan club. the members of this group get access to behind the scenes music & videos every single month. these people literally have kept food on my table for the last year and i owe them my life at this point.
last thing i want to say is that i will be touring this album. right now the plan is to hit LA, Denver, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and NYC. If you feel there is demand for me to play your in a different city, please see the emails above for booking. i’ll play a set in your living room if you feel like you can get people to pull up.
chat soon,

some music i implore you to listen to (not mine)
Mirabelle Skipworth’s “When The Waters Part” (folk)
mirabelle is a dear friend from my hometown of pittsburgh, pa. she makes some of the most beautiful and intimate music i’ve ever heard. whenever you listen to this album it really feels like she’s performing for you live in person. i’ve been so lucky to actually have that experience many times. i’ve also put mirabelle through too many loud edm shows over the last few years. i highly reccomend you drive through a small town, drink some tea, or watch the snow fall while you listen to mirabelle pour her soul into each lyric.

Dead Butterflies’ “heat death of the universe” (emo/metal)
a band made up of very young kids who are doing myspace-core better than when myspace was actually a thing. i walked in on this band playing at the silverlake lounge in LA recently and had no idea who they were. though every song they played made me a more dedicated fan than i was 2 songs prior. every melody on this album resonates deeply with me.

SWIM’s “Dear Friend” (trance/techno)
i’ve been an electronic music fan since 2011. for the majority of those years, i felt that trance & techno were never subgenres that would resonate with me. SWIM is the first artist that opened that door and i have been falling in love ever since. this album is as easy to dance to as it is to cry to.
