I was in the front row of your set, which was pretty much life changing. I was looking forward to it probably the most of all the events of pitchfork, and I can’t say I was disapointed. You should come to asheville sometime, I’ll teach you some stuff on the sitar(if you want). by the by, i was the dude who waved at you.

I just wanted to say thank you for the set at Pitchfork. You were on my list of people I wanted to see and wasn’t sure I would have time for. I am so glad i made time! It was amazing.

hey man i had never seen you live but your set blew my mind and really rocked the entire Pitchfork weekend in my opinion. my friends and i danced our faces off but unfortunately the crowd was mostly the too-hip-to-move crowd…i hope you come back to chicago again and play a small cozy venue at night so you can spin for hours…i’ll be there! give me an email if you need a place to crash

CUUUUMMMMBIA! Yes, it works well. Massive short set on Sunday! Too bad the crowd, as usual with these events, was so shy.

Gavin I have been meaning to check out Pacos, vinyl? gotta check it out for sure.

I’ve actually been working on a list of hot spots for Cumbia in chicago but my money situation has kinda been hindering me

neighbors are having a huge party and playing the sickest Cumbia track right now

For the full sabor mexicano in Chicago, head down to La Villita and walk east on 26th St from Kedzie Ave. There are street vendors selling elotes y pepino en jugo de limon, restaurants that will have pozole y menudo, and music stores as well. Espero que disfrutes tu tiempo en Chicago
