Magnolia Midnight plays out between dusk and first siren. Barroom breath, magnolia air, and a back-alley heartbeat stitch these songs into a single story. Upright bass, brushed drums, piano, muted trumpet, and clarinet carry a baritone vocal that tells you exactly how it went down: bad bets, roadside confessions, motel corridors, and the kind of love that cuts on both sides.

The mix stays intimate and gritty — small-room mono feel with modern low-end weight — so every whisper, scrape, and horn line sits close enough to smell the whiskey. No filler, no skips. Each track lands a scene and hands the night to the next one.

Speakeasy - 1920's Jazz Trap Type Beat

Entra en un ritual sonoro donde la oscuridad se convierte en ritmo. Tambores ancestrales resuenan como latidos, voces etéreas emergen del misterio, y sonidos exóticos te envuelven en una danza hipnótica. Este set no se escucha… se siente.

It seems like forever since we’ve had Jeff AND Brad on the same episode, hunkered down in a dimly lit bar, discussing entrepreneurship research over cocktails. As such, we’re delighted to have them reunited at long last at Nora’s, an honest-to-goodness speakeasy located a couple flights of stairs beneath downtown Louisville, CO. 	

Joined by guest academic researcher Nan Jia, Brad and Jeff speak with Jordan Leggett, Bar Lead and Mad Scientist at Nora’s. Jordan walks us through a trio of her innovative concoctions as she explains her creative approach to bartending. 

These libations, including a scotch cocktail with pumpkin puree and a tequila-based old-fashioned, are some of the most inventive and delicious creations we’ve encountered on Creative Distillation — and that’s saying something.

The conversation also features a Tiki Time check-in with Jeff, touches on testing new recipes, and asks whether ChatGPT is a good bartender (spoiler: it’s not). Thanks to Jordan at Nora’s for an illuminating — and perfectly dimly lit — discussion. 

Enjoy and cheers!

We’ll return from the holidays, still at Nora’s, for a deep dive with Nan Jia into her recent research on AI and productivity. 

Stay tuned for our next episode, the last of 2025, where we return to Dry Land Distillers to enjoy some holiday cheer with our favorite fall guest, CU’s Ethan Poskanzer.

Music inspired by late nights and early mornings on the desert playa. Constantly digging deep in the crates to find the best music out there. 6+ years of music collecting has allowed me to find my preferred sound and style.
