Biography of Dylan Garret
Hi. Dylan Garret, part-time DJ, part-time musician, part-time promoter, full-time vagabond extraordinaire, who still makes imitation-designer handbags in a basement on the Bowery in NYC to “keep it real”. I help run a little DJ/music/promotions collective called Bridge & Causeway, which you probably already know, seeing as it’s spammed all over this goddamned page. I mostly use MySpace for music, but if you just found me ruggedly charming and intriguing enough to want know personally, well hell, I’m free this Saturday. In the meantime, enjoy all the free music and event announcements.
Also, as it usually goes without saying these days, if you want to add me, please do send a message or something even remotely personal to make the point, if I don’t know you yet. I’d hate to go internet-elitist on you all, but I don’t need 7000 contacts of progressive-experimentalist-power-progressive-punkcore-funk bands from Hialeah (on a progressive tip, of course) to feel worthwhile. I love networking with other music-minded folks, but if you’re just mass-adding to up your numbers, as Eddie Kendricks said best, keep on truckin’, baby.

About the set - - -
Ah, friends. Another summer dwindling away, another fall settling into the city, another day of digging for the right soundtrack to fit it all. Here in New York, a city that seems to pride itself on being cutting edge in everything but air conditioning, after a day of sweating and surviving, sometimes it all boils down to that gorgeous moment at the end of every night, when you sit on your fire escape in Brooklyn, enjoying whatever breeze you get for as long as you can, maybe smoking a cigarette, and stare off at the skyline of a metropolis just one swipe of a MetroCard away.
Oh hell, this ain’t poetry, it’s music. Threw together this little set of odds and ends, whatever was floating around my turntables, after ducking in from another late night of hanging out on the fire escape, praying for some fresh air to help me forget that the city’s been bordering on 100 degrees throughout most of the month. So chill-out music to cool you down, get me? Mostly downtempo with some scattered hip-hop, and a chance of isolated showers.
