In France this summer, I met artist David Audibert selling his relief prints on the streets of the ancient Provençal village of Goult. I bought this piece titled “Ronde de Nuit” (The Night Witch); fitting for this time of year, both in subject and color.

One of my fave albums of all time is “The Dub Factor” by Black Uhuru. It's complete magic! Unfortunately, it's not on Spotify, so I made this playlist with the 2 tracks I could find, along with a bunch of other great dubs.
