Untitled is probably Boston‘s best underground DJ series- always finding cool and archaic places to spin, always packing basements and warehouses, always creating beautiful nights. guaranteed to make a close friend

Boston is permanently atrocious re: nightlife and/or coolness in almost every way, *but* DJ Kon — an incredible globe-trotting talent in the disco/house/edits zone, also of the legendary beat-digging duo Kon & Amir — lives there, *and* he plays out occasionally (in fact he's playing @ Middlesex tonight in Central Square). So my recommendation would be to meet the friends/fans of Kon and maybe they will clue you into some more underground parties, *if* they exist (they probably don't because Boston sucks!!... but you might as well try).

The Keep On crew (@keeponboston on IG) actually sometimes brings in good DJs within the house/disco/edits/techno zone, e.g. Boston's own Kon (the only DJ in town who wouldn't be kicked to the curb by an international jury of their peers) or Eli Escobar/DJ Python/Physical Therapy up from NYC (some past events listed here if you're curious). Events are usually Thursday nights @ Middlesex in Cambridge (sometimes with no cover) but double-check their calendar to be sure.

It’s getting darker, it’s getting colder, and that sweaty warehouse in a derelict part of town is beckoning. A strong line up of DJs with character paired with a group of friends you love dearly can equal the greatest night of your life.

I thought I’d delve a little into the behind the scenes of a personal film I’m working on. I’ve been a type one diabetic for about fifteen years and have become recently obsessed with creating a film about the American medical system. I aim to capture the feeling that the medication that provides you with the ability to exist may one day be taken away, or not covered, or not delivered in time. I deal with the insulin saga every month, and while it may be an extreme example, I think many Americans live in similar situations.
That‘s the context. What I really want to delve into is the process of creating 16mm imagery, from shooting to developing, to editing. This is what our rig looked like when I decided to shoot a few months worth of the disposable needles I use to inject. I wanted to create an in camera “split screen” effect. To do that, I covered three quarters of the image plain and shot through my film. Then, I’d rewind and adjust my matte to expose one of the remaining quarters, doing so until I had a complete image. I’ll go a little more into the film stock when I talk about hand development :)

Composing a short film about childhood at the moment and I’ve been leaning heavily on this Casio PT-1 keyboard I picked up at a flea market in Barcelona. They were manufactured starting in 1985 as a simpler alternative to Casio’s LV-1, hailed to be the first commercially available synth. Anyway love this sound it’s so tactile without feeling too boxy, I’ve really enjoyed playing it through my Tascam 414 as a preamp.
