"How you gonna fill unfillable
How you gonna feel unfeelable
You're passing up on the real stuff
And you're waking up on stars
You're passing up on the real stuff
It's not nearly physical enough" 
 - Jonnine Davis, Nigel Yang

This was recorded on a farm at night in the forest among a small group of friends. This mix is just another example of what I've been doing for the better part of my life - sensing the room while winging it out of a "bag" of music to help express myself and experience the moment. I was told the next day that I (paraphrase) "soaked up the weekend and reflected it back out to us." That was one of the most flattering compliments I have ever received. A recording will never fully capture the moment but I hope you enjoy the music nonetheless. 

Special thanks to Mollie Bryan, Finney Farm, and those who listen.

SPONTANEOUS AFFINITY is about the communal nature of the dancefloor. It's about communication and feedback. Spontaneous Affinity isn't for the isolated bedroom producer, although we love them, too—it is for those of us who understand music and dance as one of the most powerful sources of personal growth and interpersonal empathy, who are driven by the need to support and elevate one another, and as a result experience the evolution of our creative and connective selves.

Spontaneous Affinity isn't about ego, knowledge, paraphernalia, or exclusivity of any kind. It's about PURE SENSATION. It's about losing track of yourself and merging with a moment. It's about temporary autonomous zones and ephemeral connections. It's about forgetting to Shazam that track or fix your hair. It's about the hours far past dawn when everyone left on the dancefloor has laid their soul bare but still looks beautiful under the harshness of sunlight.

Spontaneous Affinity is NOT A UTOPIAN VISION. It's about understanding how to let go. How to let go of a person. How to let go of a place. How to break a routine even if it hurts. How to appreciate a feeling that can't last forever as if it were eternal, and how to appreciate challenging moments—and challenging sounds—as catalysts for growth.
