Yes, techno producer Pezzner can also create a big band cabaret movement—underpinned by quaking 808 samples, of course.

Read my interview with Dave for The Tonearm, where we discuss his latest productions for rhinestone-encrusted pop culture-infused performances with zombie cheerleaders and Dolly-Parton-themed shows at Can Can Culinary Cabaret. Link in comments.

Read my latest article for The Seattle Times showcasing Washington nonprofits scoring for underserved communities:

"According to the Census Bureau, Washington is among the wealthiest states in the U.S., with data showing a median household income of more than $90,000. Despite this bounty, inequality persists as underserved communities struggle for access to services."
