Early Deep House and the Evolution of Soul Music

I never thought my time spent as a reclusive artist would turn out to be a survival skill. At any other point in history I might have been asked to pick up a rifle or turn an animal into food, but within a blink of an eye my ability to let a week slip by without leaving the house became more valuable than knowing how to field dress a deer. 

Nothing says we’re all in this together like a global pandemic. There are similarities to war, except with a virus we can all be suicide bombers without knowing it. If there is a positive side, there has never been a time on earth where humankind stopped to take a collective breath; to think about our lives free from the daily routine that too often defines us. Now that we’ve all felt the ice crack under our feet, we’re about to find out how much we really love each other.
