A few moments from Tresor (Berlin) withJoey Anderson and Steven Tang. Back Story > Joey flew in from NY with just a thin hoodie on so by the time he got on his bones had been thoroughly chilled by Berlin, but he went on to play a great set.
A friend and fantastic Radio Host in L.A by the name of Morgan Rhodes shot me an email in 2012. She said that she was working as musical director for an upcoming film, and that the Director selected one my tracks (AYBEE ft. Omega – In Every Way) from a batch she submitted. She asked if i would interested in licensing the track, and of course i replied yes.
She said that the film did not have distribution and the director was preparing to submit it to the Sundance Film Festival. She sent me over a license for $1, and said the terms would be renegotiated once distribution was secured. The film was “Middle of Nowhere” and the Director Ava Duvernay went on to win Best Director at Sundance 2012.
The rest as they say is Herstory. What an incredible honor it was to be apart of such an amazing moment.

Short AYBEE mix for the Uzuri podcast series.
We are a confluence of Rhythm housing the door to the Altered Destination… We have been called by the names Hip-Hop, Techno, Cinematic, Soul, Experimental, Deep House, Left-Field, and Jazz but we respond to NONE and ALL. Founded in Oakland, CA now based in Berlin the mission endures > styles always fwd, and open with an emphasis on Soul.
