What is this place?

The inaugural post breaks down who / what / why.

For you non-clickers, I’m Nick Barat. NYC-based music guy (co-founder of Fool’s Gold Records, two decades producing and DJing around the world as Nick Catchdubs, former editor at The FADER Magazine) and visual artist, currently developing original projects for film and television as a writer and director.

So, it’s mostly music and movies.

Plus fringe passions, amusing diversions, naked self promotion…

As all social media should be!
