Freeload: Gavin Russom Mix for 20JFG
- story THE FADER
Only a site as stylistically esoteric and linguistically labyrinthine as 20 Jazz Funk Greats would write a long post about astronomers and Goya’s nightmares and weird little bands with crazy songs and then plop a custom mix by an unquestionable badass at the very bottom, but that is exactly what we love about 20JFG and why we listen to everything on it. For a more personal approach to Russom and his Black Meteoric Star project, watch our recent FADER TV episode in which we visited him in his DFA rehearsal space and went to his show at MoMA.

Video: Gavin Russom Live In France
- story THE FADER
Gavin Russom played in France with art balloons. This is a dream life. Do you think it is for him? When we dream, it is organ philandering and rainbow lights. But maybe in order to get to that his dreams are dark and calm, wind and water in a silent ether. But that’s for him to say. For us to say is that this low gurgle of solo work is surprisingly unstormy and totally made of rounded prickle. DFA is releasing a number of 12-inch singles of Russom’s work soon, we’re already asking them for dub plates.
