20 years before the emergence of STS9, NASA sent Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 on a mission to the farthest reaches of the solar system and beyond. Each of these probes was equipped with identical Golden Records, special messages attached to what Carl Sagan called “a bottle launched into the cosmic ocean.” They contained numerous images and sounds from throughout the world, pieces of music from various cultures, a map identifying the location of our planet, and other information for whomever, or whatever, might find them.

While the Golden Records included greetings in 59 languages, they made no mention of nations and borders, wars and rivalries, or anything else that divides us. What they did mention was life, love, peace, birth--the things that bind us to one another and to the planet we call home. 

The Universe Inside is a reflection of this message. It is a story about human identity and the magical truth of who we are, where we’re going, and our place in the Universe. It says we are one, made of stardust and the forces of nature that evolved over billions of years. Connected by the sun, moon and stars, we are the living, breathing conscience of the Universe. 

"We are one, made from dust of the stars / down here we bear the weight of the pain and the scars / just want to live with nothing to hide / every one of us a universe inside."

Music Can Hear Us is destined to be one of the year’s most talked-about releases.

It's best to listen to this, as well as all music, on a decent set of speakers.

With music, as in life, timing is everything. Nothing could be further from the truth with the formation of Saint Lord￼ by members David Murphy (STS9) and Justin Allmet in Atlanta, Ga. The two were in a circle of musicians, bands and friends for more close to 15 years before coming together to create the band and debut album from Saint Lord. All good things come to those who wait.

￼Combining Allmett’s sweet haunting vocals and alternative rock song writing with Murphy’s instrumental electronic dance sensibilities they’ve put together an album that is nostalgic yet modern, mature yet fun and dream like. Listening to the album it is hard not to feel like you’ve heard it before. It is refreshing to listen to an album all the way through and not know which song it is you love the most. From “What are we talking About” with a poppy funk vibe to “Normality” which features a dark psychedelic dance track to the instant hit “Can’t Stop” a downtempo epic with singing guitar melodies and lyrical genius. There’s something for everyone on this must hear album.

Connecting club culture to the wider world, on screen and irl through parties, film and video.

"Mixes are time capsules of sound.  Each capturing a moment in time that will not be repeated the same way.  Each mix is meant to transport the listener in their own time machine to their own destination.  These are soundtracks for daily living..."
