I have some special treats for the Fluke heads on Saturday afternoon! When I asked the lovely human that is Jon Fugler for a remix I couldn't get my hands on, not only did he give me the goods, but also a 2025 rework of a classic.
Now, let's get it right......... #TSH

Our final Low Life at Corsica Studios, which is (sadly) closing in March. We’ve brought back some disco heavyweights for it, too, including Matthew & Jolyon and Bruce Tantum.

Since it's the season of snow, or at least used to be. Taken at the parking lot between Ludlow and Essex St in 2013 (now home to a high rise apartment building).
Photograph of a snow-covered motorbike in a parking lot between Ludlow and Essex Street in New York City after a heavy snowstorm in 2013. The lot was also used for open air summer theatre shows, but has since been replaced by a high rise apartment building.
