Ancient Puzzle Arts Podcast #09: Dan Edwards' Salad Selection
$1.00
Hello everyone, and welcome to the March 2021 edition of the monthly Ancient Puzzle Arts podcast! This month we have special guest.... Dan Edwards !
I first met Dan Edwards in 2017. During this year, I was hanging out at the Thunderchild House in South Philly where Dan was living at the time. Looking back, this was a uniquely formative period in my Philly club music personal history. Dan was frequently transient at the time, always on the move, so we didn't really start connecting until much later. As the Philly music scene gets smaller the more you go out, we started seeing each other out more, at most of my favorite parties, so I knew he had good taste and I liked his community-minded spirit.
I would later find out Dan is a very talented DJ and a jack of all trades. What I really appreciate about him is his resourceful nature...making the best out of the supplies on hand, the people in the environment, and maximizing the best experience. It's a really useful skill living in Philly, where there is a long tradition of a DIY spirit.
From the times Dan had attended some APA parties, he saved my ass numerous on occasions fixing perplexing sound issues. Dan is also a very technically savvy person on the fly. It was when he played Ancient Puzzle Arts at Silk City in 2020 that he really solidified his essential role in the APA family. He did an amazing job and still remains one of my favorite Philly DJs (and people!) in the City of Brotherly Love.
It was only a matter of time before he would grace our mix series, so March 2021 is it! There's something distinctly Philadelphia about this mix. It has the exact right blend of grit and grime with very polished, refined deeper sounds. There's something about this constant fluctuation of texture and energy I really vibe with, and I hope you can hear the Philly DIY spirit from the comfort of your home, or wherever you are, when listening to this mix.
It's a pleasure to present to you Dan Edwards' "Salad Selection" for APA March 2021!
