Breaking Bread: A Gathering for the Web3 Music Scene
March 16th, 2023
March 02, 2023. It’s a clear, yet brisk night in Los Angeles. I walk cautiously through the side brick walkway alongside an unpretentious house as pedal planes from the nearby Santa Monica Airport fly over–unsure if I’m in the right place. I pass a caterer who welcomes me as I spot the heaters, banquet-style table and a sprawling tree adorned with twinkle lights. A warm glow radiates from the patio as I hear the sound of chatter reverberate over cold air. Relieved to have confirmed both the location and my decision to dress for an outdoor affair–I'm wearing corduroys and a leather trench coat–I scan the scene in search of a familiar face.
HIGH FREQUENCY Vol. 1: "WTF" by TWERL
March 7th, 2023
TWERL’s calling in from Perth, Australia while he’s visiting family. A week, and more than 9,000 miles later, I see him IRL in his new homebase of Los Angeles. He’s jetlagged, but lovely as always. “I calculated it, and I think I’ve been on 45 hours of flights in the past three weeks,” he says with a tired laugh. He’s gone from Los Angeles to Bali, Bali to Perth, Perth to Melbourne, and back to Los Angeles where we run into each other at the Dreams Never Die x True Ventures dinner. “I just signed a lease on a new apartment,” he says. “A few years ago, I never thought I'd have my own place in LA.”

DAILLY’s "Metamorphic": An Existential Audiovisual Exploration
January 24th, 2023
London-based producer, DJ, and audiovisual artist Niall Dailly, performing under the moniker DAILLY, makes a monumental web3 debut with his genesis drop Metamorphic–a 10-track album presented as a 3D audiovisual experience using analog and digital modular synthesis and point cloud scanning. Metamorphic defined in the album as "pertaining to or characterized by a change of form” aptly titles a project, four years in the making that unfolded one layer at a time, always kept safe by DAILLY’s underlying intent–make something his 14-year-old self would love.
