This past Sunday night there was an incredible TypeCon party at at the International Printing Museum in Carson, California – I’ll have photos in a later post.
And in the background of the tinkering of machinery (and grilling of some incredible, Southern California tacos) was the music of longtime friend, DJ (and graphic designer) SeventhSwami.
Download some of Swami’s free mixes here.

Also in 1984, producer Giorgio Moroder updated Metropolis with a rock score – controversial for some purists. Queen’s Freddy Mercury contributed Love Kills to the soundtrack (video below); though unrelated to the Gaga single.
So far, Moroder’s new wave-esque version (due to music licensing) hasn’t been officially released on DVD. But in comparison to the original (which got a complete restoration just this year), Moroder’s music, color tints and enhanced sound fx result in a totally different, very 1980s film experience.
