See Other

Brian Abelson's soul is in a strip mall. Though he's been based in New York for a over decade now, the music he produces as See Other channels the contradictions of his Southern Californian home – all smog-tinted sunsets, contaminated coastlines, and harshed mellows – the euphoric sounds of a failed utopia.

A resident of legendary NYC institution, Bossa Nova Civic Club, he's also helped showcase the city's left-leaning house and techno scene, giving artists like Baltra and Yaeji their first headlining gigs.

Brian is currently focused on a new label, globally.ltd, which invites musicians to expand their visions through the collaborative development of experimental websites.
