So the last time I posted, I was about to embark on a journey on a Greyhound bus, one of the world’s sketchier forms of public transportation. That was three weeks ago, maybe a little more.

Well I didn’t die. I’m back in Shanghai, trying so hard to keep my cool with the most frustrating internet since the days of waiting literally twenty-five minutes to download a single song in 128kbs on the original Napster.

I’m stealing Internet from Krispy Kreme. I want to eat a doughnut but don’t wanna go downstairs to buy it. Also, there’s an unusually large number of Japanese people here. “Aeyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!?”

I bought a ton of vinyl on my trip back to the States. Lots of funk. Found an amazing track by one of my favorite producers, Larry Levan, that I’m posting today. Proof that dance music doesn’t need a high BPM to move the floor.
