Space is an Important Place by Sharlese Metcalf

I put together a collection of songs last year as part of World Goth Day for KEXP. This was when the pandemic was hitting super hard and I remember for some reason, I was still feeling super inspired to put this together. Maybe it was from being alone and just sitting on a bank of cool songs and realizing that one of the best feelings ever is listening to good music. 

This isn't anything fancy, it's just a collection of songs that I was really into at the time (still love). So sit back and enjoy :)

The Outer World is the Environment and Situation We Face by Sharlese Metcalf

Captivating confidence and quiet sophistication. This is Almond Brown—DJ, producer, remixer, vocalist, consummate professional & wig snatcher. An eclectic mix of sounds, his music is best described as contemporary house with an aggressively distinctly funky resonance. His sets are an exercise in cross genre flexibility and harmony of House, vocal and Disco classics. “I’ve always jumped across genres, even back in Jr. high.  we’d play Cameo “I just want to be” followed by “Jamie’s Crying” Van Halen.  I feel most comfortable being outside of the lines a bit”. 

Born & raised in the PNW, AB  has been djʼing for over 35 years, but considers himself a musician first. He’s equally as comfortable singing, or in the studio writing & producing and has has residencies spanning from the Cuff to Q, while opening for some of the industries most iconic artists.

“As we emerge its vital we create spaces for Black & Brown artists to ensure a legacy of inclusion we can look back on in the next ten years. I’ll always have my hand in the business, and am excited to lend my voice to that effort, and equally excited to partner and offer my creative direction for a new SODO entertainment venue. Out of the darkness, I’m so thankful.

This is a special exclusive mix in celebration of Juneteenth and PRIDE made by Almond Brown for Sharlese's 6-20-21 Expansions show on KEXP radio in Seattle.

BIO:
"Lazercat is a DJ, producer and crazy cat lady based in Berlin. Growing up in Western Canada, she made her own way towards electronic music production while training as a classical violinist and began DJing many years later after enough hours spent on Berlin's infamous dancefloors. With a penchant for all things overlooked and under-the-radar, Lazercat's sound draws from a variety of sonic and emotional landscapes; from acidic, extraterrestrial electro to neon-drenched 80s synth-funk and everything in between.  

Lazercat has also been actively co-running the Dreams of Neon party and livestream series in recent years, with regular DJ sets broadcast on Intergalactic FM."
