Lauren Flax, boundary-shifting New York artist joins me this week for a conversation that really sums up the virtues of sticking to your guns.
Over a long multi-faceted career, starting in the parties of Detroit in the 90s, moving to New York, at one point being half of the project CREƎP with her friend Lauren Dillard, in which they collaborated with singers including Sia and Romy XX, through to making really deep, underground techno, being part of New York’s Bunker crew and her recent transcendentally good Out of Reality project. It feels like she’s reached some kind of crescendo of owning her appoaching to making art.
I loved chatting with Lauren about her journey, connecting on issues around belief and the emotional connection to music.
