A while back, Brooklyn DJ and producer Praveen Sharma's girlfriend left the country for a year. Sometimes, people thrust into long-distance relationships mope; Sharma got off his ass and jammed with his friend Travis Stewart.
"It was like: 'We're bored. Let's stop playing video games. My girlfriend's out of town for a year,'" Sharma recalls over a beer at Vol de Nuit on West 4th Street. "We just jumped into it."
Both were old dance-music hands and longtime friends who had never worked together. Sharma had begun producing IDM in the late '90s and launched Percussion Lab—a radio show, club night, and online mix archive—in the early '00s. (This year, it turns 10.) Stewart was better known as Machinedrum. Just for the fuck of it, they made a track and gave it the joking title "Deep City Insects." It was, says Sharma, "a half-joke, almost."
