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.

Had this one on my list but then got tipped off to a reference to my article! I must submit a correction - the version of Cotton Eye Joe played at berghain by Marie malarie WAS a remix, not the original, the refrain is played just once after a long house build. There were several other points from Shawn that I would argue with on a subjective level, but that one is a straight fact check ;)
