"Spin Me Right Round" a post at theaptBROADCAST, by Stefan Boublil One of the most difficult things you can do these days is to tame your attention deficit disorder long enough to build what is commonly refered to as a "body of work". It takes time, it takes effort and, above all, it takes passion. Such passion is what animates my friend David Lefk... owitz, who left The Apartment 2 years ago after having been its stellar senior interior designer for 6 years (hire him! hire him!) in order to start his own practice. What has happened, in between bouts of questioning, as i do myself every day, what this whole design business is all about, is that he has been working on his music skills. No, hes not a musician per say, he takes records and mixes them together but hes no DJ. Throw a brick out your window and youll hit a DJ, an entertainer who aims to get your disproportionate parts to jiggle on the dance floor, I suppose they are. But David could never be accused of striving for that kind of mediocrity. He listens to and matches records as if they were instruments, he does not just beat-match, he creates. Now, the styles he likes to work with may sometimes be quite opaque (minimal techno, abstract beats & breaks) but he still tackles hip hop and downtempo for the more mainstream customers, of which I count myself a part. With dozens of mixes, some of them as ambitious as 5 hours long, he has defied my expectations of what passion can produce and make available to the public as a gift. He has indeed built a body of work", one I couldnt be more proud of him for doing. Go ahead, dig into his website RECORDIN.GS, theres something in there youll love, I guarantee it. And I dont offer many guarantees, apart from the fact that the human race is doomed. But thats for another post.Read More
