You have probably already checked out the articles about the electronic music scene in NYC. I had the pleasure of gathering interesting insights into how it all began and what are the current players, events and happenings you should have an eye on. Nervous Records told me about the roots of house and techno music in the "Big Apple" and when it all began with techno and house music in the 80's. TBA Brooklyn is not only home of the electronic underground music, but also home to all the local people from the scene nowadays. One of my personal highlights was the ebb+flow boat party where I met so many lovely people with whom I am still friends. You guys really made this trip very special and your concept is worth supporting to the max. It all started on my first day, when I attended a Deep Beats Yoga session at the House of Yes and bumped into Marvin Technolasko, the DJ that led us through the session. Many thanks again, my friend, for introducing me to all those lovely people and for our fantastic conversation. I am thankful we met!Now it's time to provide you guys with my personal travel guide that assures you a good time with like-minded people in this diverse and sleepless city, where so many music dreams came true.Find out more on www.tunesandwings.comIntro & Outro by Arbitraire
