Field notes from the underground

SOTU is my corner of the internet where I put a spotlight on underground talent—DJs, producers, and parties—that I run into on my daily travels: after-hours rooms, lineups in LA, friends of friends, and the rabbit holes that open from one great set.

If someone's pushing groove-forward house and tech with heart, I want you to know their name. These posts are love letters to the scene, not press releases—real stories, real music, and the people keeping the low end alive.
