Introduction

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.
