I Want You To Know - Andrin Uetz (Durian of Karl Kave and Durian)

A couple weeks ago I was with Gabriel Ramos aka Ssleeping Desiress [https://ssleepingdesiress.bandcamp.com/track/always-today] assisting in a performance. We arrived super early (as requested in the call sheet), we roamed around the substantially sized venue Haus Leipzig. And out of now where—soundcheck began. We heard a smart, fun, funky, sophisticated and futuristic (yet vintage) sound pumping out of the speakers. Dancing around upstairs, Gabriel and I looked at one another and said in unison “these guys are good”. Those guys were Karl Kave and Durian [https://karlkavedurian.bandcamp.com], I Want You To Know Andrin Uetz [https://andrinuetz.com] aka Durian of Karl Kave and Durian

I Want You To Know -WGT Fest Leipzig

This is a redone version of Monday's episode. I tagged along with collaborator, and friend Gabriel Ramos (of Ssleeping Desiress”) to help with his live set at WGT Fest in Leipzig. I was there to lend some visuals (in real time), it was a technically and artistically challenging endeavor. Hear about it. Also, I play artists who also played the festival, I talk about my time in Germany, the day of the show, travel nightmares, navigating the scents and (un)pleasantries of Germans, going to the realest goth club ever, meeting new friends, and meeting cool people….

I Want You To Know - Samanthia Wildes

My next guest functions within many artistic tasks. When pressed she often disregards them as just something she loves, or just does. At one point she referred to it as “a hobby” or “The Hobby”. Then I learned just what that meant—the fascinating world of a Doll Artist I Want You to Know Samanthia Wildes.

I Want You To Know - Jeff Bostic

My next guest curates experiences, nurses emotions, guides sensations. With a mix of compassion, attentiveness, and a genuine care and curiosity about people—he sets the tone with records as a dj, he also a visual artist who can encapsulate moments and emotions.
