"content": "\u003cp>\u003cb>Update, 3 p.m. Tuesday: \u003c/b>By a vote of 10–1, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Tuesday afternoon approved a proposal to bring more concerts to Golden Gate Park. The lone dissenter was Connie Chan, who cited concerns that the events would cause disruptions in the Richmond District where her constituents live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Original \u003c/b>\u003cb>story\u003c/b>\u003cb>, 7:30 a.m. Tuesday\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors is set to vote on a proposal Tuesday that would bring more concerts to Golden Gate Park the weekend after Outside Lands in addition to three free concerts scattered throughout the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The concerts would be organized by Berkeley-based promoter Another Planet Entertainment, the company that also produces the Outside Lands music festival every August, and would take place at \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11659844/does-anyone-play-polo-at-the-golden-gate-park-polo-field-anymore\">the same location as Outside Lands\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the proposal, Another Planet would pay the city of San Francisco up to $1.4 million for a two-day event, or $2.1 million for a three-day event, annually, during the duration of the permit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides the extra weekend of entertainment slated for Golden Gate Park, Another Planet has also committed to staging three free concerts in downtown San Francisco on the same summer weekend if the city approves the permit. One event would take place at Civic Center Plaza, followed by concerts at Union Square and the Embarcadero Plaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal has the support of Mayor London Breed and other city officials. The Budget and Finance Committee unanimously voted last week to forward the proposal to the full board for a vote after a hearing that was dominated by supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sarah Dennis Phillips, executive director of the city’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development, said the downtown concerts would draw more people to an area that has experienced less foot traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are an absolute fulfillment to the mayor’s roadmap to San Francisco’s future that she put out just as COVID was ending,” Phillips said. “One of the key strategies in that roadmap was to transform downtown into a leading arts, culture and nightlife destination, so these concerts fit exactly within the strategies the mayor put forward to try to revitalize downtown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Andrew Solow, San Francisco resident\"]‘I live two miles away and it is so loud that I can’t think. I can’t work. I can’t even talk on the phone.’[/pullquote] Some San Francisco residents, however, are concerned about the noise that Outside Lands brings to their neighborhoods and said they dread another round of concerts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I live two miles away and it is so loud that I can’t think. I can’t work. I can’t even talk on the phone,” said Andrew Solow, who lives in the Inner Sunset neighborhood. “What they are doing is bad for people and it’s illegal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solow said that he chose to leave San Francisco and live in a hotel during Outside Lands because he had detected noise levels of 70 decibels at his home during the festival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solow and resident Stephen Somerstein filed an unsuccessful appeal to the San Francisco Planning Department in 2019 when the city extended the permit for Outside Lands for another 10 years. Solow said he spent $25,000 in legal fees and many hours looking at the legality of the festival’s noise levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite these concerns, city departments argue these concerts will bring citywide benefits to San Franciscans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesperson for San Francisco Recreation and Parks, Tamara Aparton, said they came up with the plan for more concerts with Another Planet in response to a projected city budget deficit of $780 million over the next two years. Aparton said the extra funds are necessary to avoid cuts in park maintenance, classes and recreation programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Stories' tag='golden-gate-park'] She added that the new concerts would have the same support system for neighbors and the same infrastructure for attendees as Outside Lands, despite having smaller headliners. Attendance will be a third of the size of Outside Lands, which has a permit for 75,000 attendees per day during its duration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those support systems for neighbors is a community hotline that will respond in real-time to complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniel Montes, a Rec and Parks spokesperson, confirmed to KQED via email that there are no limits for noise levels in the contract that Another Planet has with the city. KQED reached out to Another Planet for a request for comment, but did not hear back in time for publication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreover, the festival has never been held to an environmental study \u003ca href=\"https://sfplanning.org/environmental-review-documents?title=outside+lands&field_environmental_review_categ_target_id=All&items_per_page=10\">because state law considers it a temporary event\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Inner Richmond resident Mark Ernest Pothier, the hotline is not enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s just no way you can have a concert on that scale comfortably in a densely populated neighborhood. One of the most densely populated places west of Chicago,” Pothier said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Giuliana Salomone contributed reporting.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

She says the Bay Area is calming and matches her pace as an artist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m more stimulated in slow progressions, and so I feel like being in the Bay Area, it’s really nice to be able to be more observant and have the beauty. … I go on hikes all the time and go to the redwoods and spend a lot of time in the forest and with my dogs,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SPELLLING’s new album, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sacredbonesrecords.com/products/sbr323-spellling-the-mystery-school\">SPELLLING & the Mystery School\u003c/a>,\u003c/em> came out on Aug. 25 and is a collection of creatively re-envisioned songs from throughout her discography.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The band for her song includes Giulio Xavier Cetto, Wyatt Overson, Patrick Shelley, Jaren Feeley, Divya Farias, Toya Willock, Dharma Moon-Hunter and the Del Sol Quartet.

As a student, she worked on a project with friends to create a score for an experimental film from Maya Deren and Alexandr Hackenschmied at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive called \u003cem>Meshes of the Afternoon\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film’s surrealism inspired her and also reminded her of a Three Six Mafia song called “Walk Up to Your House.” She later created her own original composition and song with the same name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I guess [the song “Walk Up to Your House”] kind of felt to me like that moment where I felt for the first time, like, this is the art that I wanna do,” said SPELLING. “It’s one of the earliest songs I created that I felt like, this is special to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says her process of songwriting is about surrendering control to the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She says the Bay Area is calming and matches her pace as an artist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m more stimulated in slow progressions, and so I feel like being in the Bay Area, it’s really nice to be able to be more observant and have the beauty. … I go on hikes all the time and go to the redwoods and spend a lot of time in the forest and with my dogs,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SPELLLING’s new album, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sacredbonesrecords.com/products/sbr323-spellling-the-mystery-school\">SPELLLING & the Mystery School\u003c/a>,\u003c/em> came out on Aug. 25 and is a collection of creatively re-envisioned songs from throughout her discography.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The band for her song includes Giulio Xavier Cetto, Wyatt Overson, Patrick Shelley, Jaren Feeley, Divya Farias, Toya Willock, Dharma Moon-Hunter and the Del Sol Quartet.

Take the show \u003ca href=\"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0804503/\">\u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>\u003c/a> for example: The mid-century furniture, soundtrack and clothes all work together to create a mood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps less obvious, but no less important, is the food seen on screen — tomato aspic, salmon mousse or cocktail party weenies in grape jelly that take us right back to the 1960s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Behind every dish on screen, there’s a person or a team of people researching it, cooking it and keeping it fresh on set take after take. It may seem simple, but food styling requires a unique combination of organizational skills, culinary expertise and creativity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While much of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2023/08/27/hollywood-writers-strike-issues-studios/\">media attention is focused on the Hollywood writers and actors strike\u003c/a>, thousands of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kcrw.com/news/shows/press-play-with-madeleine-brand/hollywood-indictment-crypto-space/wga-sag-aftra-economic-costs\">other movie industry workers are impacted\u003c/a> by the work stoppage. People like food stylist Melissa McSorley, whose work is often invisible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Behind the scenes with Hollywood’s food stylist\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On an early morning in March, well before the strikes began, McSorley pulled into the parking lot of a distinctly unglamorous part of Santa Clarita — an industrial-park-turned-soundstage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She unloaded her SUV, packed as tightly as a perfectly played Tetris game, pulling out electric burners and what looked like a contractor’s tool bag. Instead of hammers and drills, it held hundreds of kitchen utensils, from tongs and torches to measuring cups and cutting boards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McSorley moves around a lot, working on different sets most days, so she carries all her tools with her. On this particular set, she was assigned a designated space for her work kitchen — a treat — because the show, Hulu’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7820906/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\">\u003cem>Good Trouble\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, features a character who is opening a restaurant. Food is central to the show’s plot.[aside postID=news_11954383 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/20230626-SAUCY-CHICK-05-KQED-1020x816.jpg']Before they started filming, the space was an empty shell with ceiling insulation exposed, McSorley said. But crews built a half-dozen huge plywood boxes that each hold a completely realistic room, like an office or a den.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So many people touched all of this before you could even think about putting food into this set,” McSorley said, with awe.\u003cem> \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She made sure everything on the commercial kitchen set was perfect before filming began the next day when actors were expected to flip burgers and stir polenta. The set was incredibly realistic, from rubber mats covering the floor to food containers labeled with blue painter’s tape. Except, it wasn’t a real kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One thing about a set, it doesn’t have practical lighting,” McSorley said. “Any light switches you see don’t really work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She had to use the flashlight on her phone to complete her inspection.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>An unlikely career\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Food styling is not the job McSorley thought she’d have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She grew up in Burbank, home to many studios, but her family wasn’t involved in entertainment at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mom had office jobs,” McSorley said. “In fact, when I was little, she was a telephone operator. I don’t even think that exists anymore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her stepfather owned a printing company in North Hollywood. But the entertainment industry was all around. As a girl, she remembers driving past fans lining up to watch \u003cem>The Tonight Show\u003c/em> being taped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was [an actors’] strike that happened when I was in high school, and it affected a lot of the families that I grew up with,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s when she told her family that she would never work in entertainment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I never wanted to work in an industry where people were so expendable,” she said. “Nobody cared how many lives these strikes could disrupt. And so, I was never, ever, ever going to be in this industry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melissa was a kid with a creative streak, growing up in a structured home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I was in high school, I actually wanted to go to school for photography, and my parents said that I could do that as a hobby any time I wanted,” she said.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Melissa McSorley, Hollywood food stylist\"]‘I decided I was just going to do it part-time for a little while before I decided what I really wanted to do. It turned out that I loved it. And here I am, almost 20 years later.’[/pullquote]They expected her to pursue a degree that would lead to a stable career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Culinary arts falls under the term ‘arts,’ and it would not have been acceptable to my parents,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So she studied biology and psychology. She learned the basics of cooking as a kid by whipping up casseroles for her hungry siblings when her mom was working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After college, she started taking cooking courses in her spare time. She cycled through several different careers, working at an electrical engineering company, drawing blood and producing commercials at an advertising agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she yearned for more creative work. While working at the ad agency, she encountered her first “food stylist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I decided I was just going to do it part-time for a little while before I decided what I really wanted to do,” McSorley said. “It turned out that I loved it. And here I am, almost 20 years later.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Not home cooking\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In her work kitchen on the set of \u003cem>Good Trouble\u003c/em>, McSorley demonstrated how cooking for the screen is a lot different than cooking at home. For example, in one scene an actor makes a pizza. To pull that off, she needed to prep at least 18 pizzas so the crew could shoot the actor in all stages of pizza-making.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So you’ll see her grab a dough ball, that’s been proofed and looks amazing,” McSorley said.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Melissa McSorley, Hollywood food stylist\"]‘Then, you might see her start to sauce it. Then, you might see it finished, but uncooked. At the very, very end of the scene, she’ll pull out that perfect pizza.’[/pullquote]McSorley will then swap out that dough for another that’s been perfectly shaped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Then, you might see her start to sauce it. Then, you might see it finished, but uncooked,” she said. “At the very, very end of the scene, she’ll pull out that perfect pizza.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And to make sure that shot is just right, McSorley will have three or four perfect pizzas prepped — just in case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her job depends on making sure that food looks as delicious as possible, and that it looks identical, take after take.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A bizarre set of skills\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>What’s clear is that a Hollywood food stylist needs an eclectic array of skills that go way beyond cooking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, they have to be organized. Even the simplest scene has many moving parts. One pivotal scene in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2279339/\">2015 film \u003cem>Love the Coopers\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, for example, took place around a Christmas dinner table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11959571\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11959571\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/230830-Hollywood-Food-Stylist-LM-02-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"A woman with light-brown hair and black glasses holds a clipboard in one hand, a pen in the other, as she stands in front of a large refrigerator filled with food.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/230830-Hollywood-Food-Stylist-LM-02-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/230830-Hollywood-Food-Stylist-LM-02-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/230830-Hollywood-Food-Stylist-LM-02-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/230830-Hollywood-Food-Stylist-LM-02-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/230830-Hollywood-Food-Stylist-LM-02-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/230830-Hollywood-Food-Stylist-LM-02-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Food stylist Melissa McSorley checks the set refrigerator for ingredients needed for the next day’s shooting on the set of the Hulu series ‘Good Trouble.’ \u003ccite>(Lisa Morehouse/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>McSorley said the scene took nine days to shoot and in that time they went through more than 50 turkeys. There were full, perfect turkeys, turkeys staged just for carving, turkeys that fell on the floor, turkeys that the dog came too close to, and even turkeys in the oven. McSorley had to find them, buy them, store them and cook them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were a lot of turkeys,” she said, shaking her head.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, a food stylist needs to be a nutritionist — and a problem-solver. In that same scene in \u003cem>Love the Coopers\u003c/em>, stars like Diane Keaton, John Goodman, Marisa Tomei and Alan Arkin all sat together.[aside postID=news_11958720 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS66538_230623-wahpepahs-kitchen-05-ks-KQED-1020x679.jpg']“When you went around the table, there was a vegetarian who loves cheese; a vegan that also doesn’t do sugar or sugar substitutes; [and] other people who ate no carbs,” McSorley said. “You have to make sure that you’ve made something that everybody can eat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Third, food stylists are often technical advisors, making sure kitchens on set seem real to viewers. They’ll organize a fictional restaurant’s fridge according to safety regulations, with raw meat on the bottom level, not sitting on top of produce, for instance.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Amplifying scenes with food\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“The highlights of my career are the times when I’ve been able to do something that is, like, so amplified,” McSorley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the time she dug into research for a period-perfect meal in \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em> or \u003cem>Perry Mason\u003c/em> or making food for imaginary worlds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On \u003ca href=\"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0844441/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\">the vampire drama \u003cem>True Blood\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, McSorley’s first task was to concoct a substance worthy of the show’s title — a drink that actors could gulp down, that also looked and functioned like blood, not juice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It had to leave a trail when it went down the glass,” she said, “And so, that was a lot of fun, using a little bit of wheatgrass to give it the opaqueness that it needed, and then to add a little bit of methyl cellulose to get the viscosity that it needed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added pomegranate-cherry juice to get the right color and to lend it a decent taste.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was like a little chemistry experiment in the kitchen,” she said.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McSorley also created the food seen in science-fiction shows like \u003ca href=\"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8806524/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_2_nm_6_q_picard\">\u003cem>Star Trek:\u003c/em> \u003cem>Picard\u003c/em>\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13668894/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_q_boba%2520fett\">\u003cem>The Book of\u003c/em> \u003cem>Boba Fett\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.

Then, I filled it with turkey meat so that it looked like the meat was just coming off in layers.’[/pullquote]“The food couldn’t look like anything that we’ve seen here,” McSorley said. “Was it a planet that actually had an environment: air, water to it? Was it a dry planet that maybe everything would have been from root vegetables? And then, you just figure out what exists in the edible world that you can make look like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For one scene in \u003cem>Boba Fett\u003c/em>, McSorley helped fill a 30-foot-long table for a feast. One element was a roasted \u003cem>nuna\u003c/em>, a swamp turkey from the planet Naboo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And it was really awesome because I was able to work with the prop master to come up with a \u003cem>nuna\u003c/em> skeleton and skin that I could work with,” she said. “Then, I filled it with turkey meat so that it looked like the meat was just coming off in layers. And you really get the idea that these came from another planet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the hands of a stylist like McSorley, food becomes a character on screen. It can help set the mood with party food, home cooking or upscale bites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It can mirror the personality of a character — like a meticulous assassin who also bakes with precision. One glance at a plate and the viewer should get a sense of the person in the scene with it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It takes a lot of labor to make the shimmering fantasy that Hollywood sells to the world. There are a lot of behind-the-scenes industry people like Melissa whose work is largely invisible — and they’re all feeling the impact of recent labor disputes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I guess I wish people knew that the job existed, that the food didn’t just miraculously appear on the plate,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Lisa Morehouse’s series \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://californiafoodways.com/\">\u003cem>California Foodways\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is supported by California Humanities, a nonprofit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/sundaymusicdrop\">The Sunday Music Drop is a weekly radio series hosted by the KQED weekend news team.\u003c/a> In each segment, we feature a song from a local musician or band with an upcoming show and hear about what inspires their music.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jaiveer Singh and Mihir Chauhan, of the group Baalti, met in college and started out making jam band-style psychedelic rock music. When they both moved to San Francisco, three and five years ago respectively, they shifted to producing electronic music together. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mihir makes the music, I make the jokes,” Singh said with a laugh. “We both do all of it and like, just whoever’s ideas are working better are the ones that make it into the tracks…It’s very free flowing for sure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their songwriting process starts with a “kernel” of a song. When Chauhan starts a song, it’s usually a sample with some drums or a bassline, and Singh usually starts with percussion. This EP in particular, \u003cem>Better Together\u003c/em>, was heavily influenced by the experience of playing in clubs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All the songs really came together on stage…We’d take kind of raw, unfinished versions of these songs and chop them up and play them, like, in some kind of improvised way during our live sets,” said Singh. “And then over the course of many shows, we’d see how people were reacting and what versions we liked, and that’s kind of how the songs came to be. So they are really informed by that feeling of being in a sweaty nightclub with 100 people packed into a tiny space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Singh described “Buttons” as his favorite song off the EP. He said it was the first song that felt like it conveyed a fresh emotion that he and Chauhan hadn’t felt in a while, and really tapped into what they were trying to do as Baalti. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s one of the first songs we’ve ever made that we were like, ‘Wow, this is actually something we’re really proud of and can’t wait to put out,'” said Singh. “It also got us out of a creative rut. I have like, an emotional response to the song now ‘cause it got us out of months of writing block with just one song that kind of unlocked everything again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They consider the music they make UK-inflected dance music. “I want to say underground dance music, but nothing’s really underground anymore when all of dance music is kind of mainstream now,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While their old psych rock sonic aesthetics didn’t make it into their project together as Baalti, Singh said their roots have led them to approach their songs from more of a songwriting perspective than other electronic music producers. “It bleeds into the way we think about vocals and hooks and the narrative of a track.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Singh and Chauhan have been best friends for years, which Singh said makes them good collaborators. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very easy to critique each other, and no one gets hurt,” he said. “It’s very easy to just be like, the best idea wins, rather than ‘oh, I wrote that drum part, so it must stay.’ It’s also really tender, which is a really good thing to have when you’re out playing shows for a few weeks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chauhan had a running list of band names he liked, and Singh picked out Baalti. “It means bucket in Hindi and it’s pretty meaningless. But I liked how it sounded,” said Singh. “And then I was like, ‘yeah, let’s run with Baalti.’ And Mihir was like, ‘yeah, this is probably a joke.’ And then we started sending demos out and then we started releasing music and he was like, ‘OK, we are really running with this name, I guess.’ But yeah, I like that it’s meaningless and kind of shape-taking rather than enforcing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Singh credited the Bay Area music community for giving them a platform and an audience to play for when no one knew who they were. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s really sick DJ communities out here and the sound that they’re pushing bleeds into the way we DJ,” he said. “There was no Baalti before San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baalti will be playing at Monarch in San Francisco on Sept. 30 for the Portola After Party.

When Chauhan starts a song, it’s usually a sample with some drums or a bassline, and Singh usually starts with percussion. This EP in particular, \u003cem>Better Together\u003c/em>, was heavily influenced by the experience of playing in clubs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All the songs really came together on stage…We’d take kind of raw, unfinished versions of these songs and chop them up and play them, like, in some kind of improvised way during our live sets,” said Singh. “And then over the course of many shows, we’d see how people were reacting and what versions we liked, and that’s kind of how the songs came to be. So they are really informed by that feeling of being in a sweaty nightclub with 100 people packed into a tiny space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He said it was the first song that felt like it conveyed a fresh emotion that he and Chauhan hadn’t felt in a while, and really tapped into what they were trying to do as Baalti. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s one of the first songs we’ve ever made that we were like, ‘Wow, this is actually something we’re really proud of and can’t wait to put out,'” said Singh. “It also got us out of a creative rut. I have like, an emotional response to the song now ‘cause it got us out of months of writing block with just one song that kind of unlocked everything again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They consider the music they make UK-inflected dance music. “I want to say underground dance music, but nothing’s really underground anymore when all of dance music is kind of mainstream now,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While their old psych rock sonic aesthetics didn’t make it into their project together as Baalti, Singh said their roots have led them to approach their songs from more of a songwriting perspective than other electronic music producers. “It bleeds into the way we think about vocals and hooks and the narrative of a track.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Singh and Chauhan have been best friends for years, which Singh said makes them good collaborators. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very easy to critique each other, and no one gets hurt,” he said. “It’s very easy to just be like, the best idea wins, rather than ‘oh, I wrote that drum part, so it must stay.’ It’s also really tender, which is a really good thing to have when you’re out playing shows for a few weeks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chauhan had a running list of band names he liked, and Singh picked out Baalti. “It means bucket in Hindi and it’s pretty meaningless. But I liked how it sounded,” said Singh. “And then I was like, ‘yeah, let’s run with Baalti.’ And Mihir was like, ‘yeah, this is probably a joke.’ And then we started sending demos out and then we started releasing music and he was like, ‘OK, we are really running with this name, I guess.’ But yeah, I like that it’s meaningless and kind of shape-taking rather than enforcing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Singh credited the Bay Area music community for giving them a platform and an audience to play for when no one knew who they were. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s really sick DJ communities out here and the sound that they’re pushing bleeds into the way we DJ,” he said. “There was no Baalti before San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baalti will be playing at Monarch in San Francisco on Sept. 30 for the Portola After Party.
