Dropping self-releases via his own bandcamp and Kulture Galerie following his contribution to the labels NFTS 999 compilation his musical interests took a sharp turn when he discovered artists like Gene on Earth, Sweely, Black Loops, and many others in the realm of the good electronic.

His new EP ‘Witless Q&A’s via the Filippo MSM helmed Kulture Galerie this February with five original cuts. You  can also find Nate working as a Barista at Berlin's new listening bar Anima.

It's that vibe which forms the basis for this Wednesay Alternative mix, let's get it on and ask him a few questions eh...

INTERVIEW

natebytheway: The Wednesay Alternative Mix

Peace Portal began as a way to document the sounds of the growing dance music scene in the Pacific Northwest from the small but noisy town of Bellingham, Washington.

Over it's course, Peace Portal has grown into an outlet for underground dance music from the Pacific Northwest, down the West Coast, and beyond through broadcasts on three non-commercial radio stations, feature write-ups and interviews on the Peace Portal blog, new music premieres from up and coming West Coast artists, and parties.‍‍

Ransom Note is an online music, arts and culture magazine. We provide a home for readers and writers with boundless enthusiasm, esoteric knowledge, fierce opinions and impeccable taste.

With our core team immersed in all aspects of dance music, we publish news, articles, and interviews covering the greatest in innovative, underground culture from across the globe. We offer regular, exclusive music and mixtapes from our favourite artists, and publish features shining a light on everything from the freshest new artists to the untold tales from rave history.

Alongside this we offer musings on film, books, life, and art, generating some context and controversy as an antidote to the reheated PR that clogs up the internet. Our office is fuelled by Tunnock’s Bars, cat memes, hangovers and a ridiculous, never ending love for our culture.

We're always interested in getting new writers on board – feel free to get in touch if you’ve got a story to tell.

With love until the grave.
