“It’s a question of being respectful to each other,” Dom Maker says of the art of collaboration. It’s a simple ethic, but one that has yielded rich rewards. Since 2009, Maker and his partner in Mount Kimbie, Kai Campos, have played a central role in forging a new form for electronic music. Their influence stretches far beyond the tiny corner of the dance music underground that birthed them and, with the duo now signed to the legendary Warp label, it looks set to stretch further still in the coming years. Since their emergence Mount Kimbie have repeatedly confounded expectations, transforming themselves from bedroom-studio producers to creators of one of the most fully realised electronic album-length statements of recent years. This year, with the release of the duo’s second LP, the perception of what Mount Kimbie is looks set to expand again. Still, at the heart of the band’s music lies that simplest of things: the meeting of two musical minds.

THE POST INDUSTRIAL CITY: CALLOWHILL ST. FROM BROAD TO THE DELAWARE RIVER

Bob Bruhin

THE POST INDUSTRIAL CITY: CALLOWHILL ST. FROM BROAD TO THE DELAWARE RIVER

Explore the little known post-industrial landscape of downtown Philadelphia. This 1.5-mile tour focuses on a three-block-wide swath of the city along Callowhill and Willow Streets from Broad Street to the Delaware River. Numerous interesting warehouses, bridges, and other structures will be seen along the way, including the abandoned Reading Railroad Viaduct, Reading Railroad’s Terminal Commerce Building, the abandoned Willow Street Steam Generation Plant, and the Callowhill Industrial District. This will be a strenuous 2-hour trek over some gritty streets, complete with some uneven Belgian blocks, abandoned railroad tracks, and even a set of 300 year old steps.
May 29, Wednesday    6pm    Post Industrial City: Callowhill St. From Broad to the Delaware River
Meet in front of former Inquirer Bldg., 400 N. Broad St.

Delaware River Cleanup
(sponsored by Eraserhood-based United by Blue)

Location: Penn Treaty Park The corner of E. Columbia Ave. and Beach Street, Philadelphia PA

Date: June 04, 2013

Time: 5:30 to 7:30 pm

This year, we’re dedicating the first Tuesday of the month to cleaning up a different Philadelphia waterway.
 
You’ll have peace of mind knowing that you helped clean Philadelphia’s main drinking source-The Delaware River. This 330 mile river encompasses four states and 42 counties and is the longest free-flowing (undammed river) in the eastern United States.
 
We’ll provide volunteers with gloves, bags, water, and dinner. Get your daily dose of Vitamin D, meet your neighbors, and help preserve one of our vital resources.
