This week is NOT about nostalgia. It’s about lineage, how sound transcends and provokes memory, and how Garage House & Techno emerged from different corners of the underground, yet somehow feel like distant relatives (3rd cousins?) at the same family reunion. One soulful. One driven. Both transcendent.

This week’s Scrumptious Electrik Cake is a reflection on the dance floor as archive, as wellness space, as a kind of sonic heirloom. Think of it like this: the same way Monet painted his cathedral series in soft, impressionistic repetition, utilizing “his ability to capture the essence of a scene quickly then finish it later using a sketch combined with his memory of the scene,” Roy Lichtenstein later reinterpreted them in graphic, industrial, punctilious lines as one who was said to be “never shy about appropriating a theme.” Some called Lichtenstein’s effort mockery. Others called it homage. But either way, something - an essence (Dasein?) was carried over—even if the brushstrokes changed.
