More info
Founded by New York City-based musician Joe Stevens in 2017, Peel Dream Magazine released their debut album, Modern Meta Physic, on the much loved and venerable American independent label Slumberland Records the following year, 2018.

Driven by a DIY aesthetic and initially very much a ‘home recording project’, their debut recalled the likes of Yo La Tengo and Unrest and harkened back to the early 1990s, when The Velvet Underground resurged as an inspiration to a new set of bands wielding synthesizers and off-set guitars.

Having only played their debut show in January 2018 the Up and Up EP, and forthcoming second album, reflects Peel Dream Magazine’s gestation beyond the bedroom delivering something more dynamic than Modern Meta Physic reflecting their new status as a 4-piece band. Recorded in part at a studio on the northern tip of Greenpoint near Queens, the tracks feature vocals from sometimes-band-member, collaborator, and friend Jo-Anne Hyun.

While channelling some of the droney, kraut-y repetitiveness of their debut album, the tracks however hide less behind a hazy veneer possessing a hitherto to unheard sense of immediacy which draw easy comparison with the likes of Stereolab or Broadcast.

Talking about the inspiration for the EP, Stevens said:

"Thematically, these songs are plucked from a big batch of material that deals with the ethics of popular music. I wanted to talk about the current popular music scene through the eyes of Bertolt Brecht, who warned that audiences become susceptible to mind-control when they take popular art at face value. The entire EP is like a little Brechtian play. Up and Up is literally about feeling manipulated by the theatre of crap art. It's about second-guessing the highs and lows you're told to feel. Our heartstrings can be pulled by anyone who really knows what they're doing, and its not a very nice feeling when you suspect that you're being taken advantage of. Oppressive political regimes ban free-thinking art because they don't want citizens to flex their brain muscles and question the status quo. In the song, I'm inserting myself between Brecht and his nemesis, Aristotle. I want to stand up for audiences everywhere, myself included."

Details of Peel Dream Magazines second album will be announced shortly.

Peel Dream Magazine - Novelty

It’s wild to think but I’ve been DJ’ing professionally for nearly a decade. It all started with a cold email from a promoter in Brazil and the madness began. I’ve been fortunate to see the world this way. Throughout my career I’ve made it a point to have a variety of performances, whether that’s live band, DJ’ing, or something in between. I think it’s really important to challenge yourself and get out of your comfort zone. With that said, I keep coming back to DJ’ing. Having control over the atmosphere of a venue is a powerful drug. When things click, it’s amazing. 

I’ve been through the various hype cycles of different genres, some that interested me (disco, house, acid) and others that didn’t (dubstep, trap, future house) but ultimately there’s something really special about dance music. Coming from a songwriting background, it feels very foreign. In contrast, it’s counterintuitive. Finding the right balance of repetition and simplicity. 

It’s been several years since I released an actual DJ mix, so figured now is the time. 

Upcoming DJ shows:
Dec 27 ~ Elsewhere, Brooklyn, NY
Dec 31 ~ Prohibition NYE, Union Station, Los Angeles, CA
Jan 31 ~ Block Party, Bangkok, Thailand
Feb 1 ~ Block Party, Jakarta, Indonesia
