Have you ever thought about the music scene as an "escapism industry?"

Non-intentional attendees filling their systems with drugs... for what? 

Do we even know what we're here for?

And maybe we don't need to know.... escapes certainly serve a purpose.

But I'll be damned if I continue to show up to energetic messes like this for the rest of my music loving life.  

We deserve better.

In the first episode of Dear Doris, I have a lovely chat with my dear friend Fish aka Pescado Frito.

In a nutshell, we discuss how the music scene has shaped us as human beings.  

Carrying lessons from the dance floor into every day life.

Grab a seat... get comfortable and let's chat about registered characters, flowbreakers, the sauce and everything in between.

Hope you enjoy.

A few months ago, I had a magical morning.

Repressed emotions and memories surfaced and left me in tears.  I wanted to share the feelings, lessons and love with you.

The intention of this podcast is to bring the listener closer to the humans behind the music.  

In this episode I chat with Roswitha Nash about their heart opening track "Don't Go Asking" - released on June 25th with THE OTHER EYE.  

The conversation went far beyond music as we talked and joked about various topics.

If nothing else, it would mean the world to me if you checked out their latest project, which features an incredible remix by Mira and Chris Schwarzwalder.  

Here are links to the music as well as social media pages for these lovely humans.  

Don't Go Asking EP

I went to a party and it felt like the majority of the crowd spent more time chatting than dancing.

It made me think about this concept of "passive listening."

Everyone pays the same price to enter the party, you get to experience it however you'd like.

I went with the intention to get lost in sounds and found it difficult in this environment.

This is a little ramble about the experience.

I'd love to chat about this with anyone who has feedback, similar experiences, etc.

Join us for a discussion with our sister Sureya about healing, mindfulness, sex, masturbation, escaping and much more.

Sureya has been an incredible teacher and I highly encourage you to explore her offerings and show her some love.  You can visit her instagram page here: https://www.instagram.com/sureya_leonara/

We chat with IV-IN about the backstory to his EP "Alter" which is one of our favorite projects of 2020.

We go on to chat about failure, insecurities, musical inspirations and how he feels about the comparisons to Kerala Dust.
