It's a rare honor to hear the fruits of a musician's obsession with one particular aspect of the spectrum; be it an artist, a city, a label, or-- in this case-- a lifestyle. 

In the US, with the midterm elections fomenting, the seasons changing, climate chaos continuing it's relatively undisturbed course, and catastrophes and joys of all manner hiding in the wings and in plain sight, we're humbled to offer our 53rd episode; a glimpse into the proclivities of producer Tommy Metz. 

Tommy Metz is a Colorado-based abstract electronic producer & veteran of the scene, with releases on local labels too storied to recount: Plastic Sound Supply, Bocumast, Laserpalace and-- more recently-- the new Denver imprint Multidim Records. Growing up in Fort Collins and moving to Denver in 2002, he has been heavily and consistently involved in the DIY/Indie music scenes of Colorado. 

For the next hour, allow your mind-body-spirit to revel in the effervescent memory of a 10-year period between 1992 & 2002 & the fruits of Metz's deep dive into this thing called BRAINDANCE.
