The floor is moving with Shawn Reynaldo

08/29/23 • 102 min

Over the past two decades Shawn Reynaldo has operated in every corner of electronic music. His substack "First Floor", recently anthologized into his debut book, offers a refreshingly candid account of his feelings about the turbulent state of a culture in transition.

We dive into some of the choice essays from his book, reflect on some major shifts of the last decade, and attempt a COVID post mortem.
