Deep Dish’s exacting understanding of what makes people move characterized the night’s music. They began their set with immediately danceable beats and tunes that did not let up until the very end. An early track was a vivid demonstration of their obsession with the texture of sound—overlaying an ethereal instrumental sample onto a jagged, edgy beat. With that exception, the set’s first half was dominated by heavy bass rhythms without much of the airy, dreamy vocal samples that have characterized trance’s radio-friendly appeal. Deep...

A page of text on Winters’ theory on the components of images describes what element is expressed by each subsequent print. The work maintains the intricacy and complex use of patterning of his early prints, and explores a sense...
