“The 2021 NWB stream was much different than the year before. For me, it felt like we were getting closer to reopening, all of us so ready for the party, and being honored with the opportunity to compose a 5-hour narrative meant I needed to reflect that energy and represent the dance floor we all love so much. I wanted to keep it heady like 2020 but focus more on what it would feel like to play that long at Tangent, returning to my roots and playing numerous eternal cuts from Chicago, Detroit, Berlin, Cologne, Rotterdam, Helsinki, and beyond. Praise the acid...enjoy!”
