SOCIAL VLAD

If there is one thing that can be said about Social Vlad as a musician and artist at large, it is that he doesn’t like com̷̡̢̢̢̡̤͇̳̟͔͚̘̤̳͍̬̙̪̙̥̜̲̺̙̭̺͍̣̤͇̞̳̣͕̙̟̣̤̞͙̹̤̠̗̱̃͛̾̆͂̌͗͋̽͌̎̒̋̓̿̃́̓͛̀̈̐̍̽͛̔̀̋̐̔̎̂̑͊̕̕͘͝͝promise, on anything, really, but especially when it com̷̡̤͇̳̟͔͚̘̤̳͍̬̙̪̙̃͛̾̆͂̌͗͋̽͌̎̒̋̓̿̃́̓͛̀̈̐̍̽͛̔̀̋̐̔̎̂̑͊̕̕͘͝͝es to effort and an endḻ̶̢̮̰̪̟͚̘͇̮̻̜͎͈̤̲̹́̓̈́̌̽̎ess, inexhaustible desire to dig out the most obscure yet fresh and bittersweet, familiar-at-the-same-time, new nostalgic sounds. You didn’t know you needed it until you hear it. DJs’ DJ, or musician’s musician, if you will.
