Been The Baddest - Shaunessy Afters Session

A snippet of the soulful house and nu disco grooves at the very first Wagyu & Soul Sizzle at Ugly Delicious Pop Up.

Wagyu & Soul Sizzle Vol 1 - Shaunessy

When Charles & Zoe asked me to play a special set at their wedding that transported their guests to the rooftops of Mykonos, Beirut, Yerevan and Ibiza, I saw it as an opportunity to tell a larger story. A story about the power of love and how collective love could be the key to take those who have been displaced - like most of the guests in attendance who are of Greek, Armenian or Middle Eastern decent - and bring them home with a little twist and homage to a cult classic - The Matrix. 

The set begins with a call that gives us the opportunity to break free of the cyclical nature of life in the Americas. A place that once, maybe decades ago, lured those displaced with its promise and now holds us subconsciously captive. 

But liberation is a choice and will not come easily. When the call is answered. When the rose colored glasses are removed and replaced for green ones, your journey and trials that lie ahead begin. For the matrix of the new world will try its very best to keep you in its grasp with temptations that fuel our addictions, gluttony, desires for fame, sex and exemplary wealth. Only after you endure the pressure and proclaim that love is all you need will the shackles break for you to take your path and finally return home. To your personal Eden.  - xo
