Indie Electronica 2

Shelter day 238, November 13th, 2020—installment 46 of live-streamed, all-vinyl DJ sets during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Indie has always been a confusing genre—no clear orientation outside rock, but it serves a purpose as a space that’s open to many forms. The intersection of electronic and live improvisational music (jazz, indie, rock, etc.) has long been an idiosyncratic niche that, for me, strikes a curious chord. Indie Electronica is a strange catch-all, no-mans-land of quirky, sweet, strange, introspective music—most often created by bands (as opposed to solo electronic musicians). This mix was a good reflection of my mood on this particular day: introspective, relieved, and a bit moody.
