New time for Coffee and Sushi: 12:00 AM to 1:00 AM, still on Thursday night/Friday morning.
This page serves two purposes. One is to showcase the music that I've produced under the name Surrealist, and the other is to give information about the show Coffee and Sushi on WREK Atlanta, 91.1 FM.
Surrealist -- The alias under which I produce different sorts of electronic music (real name is Josh Moore). Always inconsistent, I've produced tracks in a variety of very contrasting styles from rap beats and RnB to industrial and hardcore/gabber -- truly surreal. I've been producing music since around early 2004, though in the last year or so I unfortunately haven't kept up my work. I've still managed to crank out quite a few pretty nifty songs, though. Check out my Last.fm page to hear and download a few songs not featured on this page.
Coffee and Sushi -- My radio show on WREK Atlanta, 91.1 FM. Features the best in chillout, lounge, downtempo, and other smooth electronic music. Airing every Thursday night (Friday morning) from 1:00 AM to 2:00 AM EST since the debut of the weekly edition on July 8th, 2007. Currently hosted and programmed exclusively by Thomas "Holmie" Holmquist. This is the show for you if you dig artists like Crazy Penis, Solu Music, Thievery Corporation, Blue Six, Llorca, AKMusique, Tosca, Kruder & Dorfmeister, and Moodorama. Listen to the show now at www.wrek.org.

No shit, Dude! Whatcha been doing to keep yourself busy? Look at you lighting up! I checked out your music, and is def a far cry from praise band back in the day! I'm just waiting to hear crazy ass lyrics attached to it like Emo-tron and Adam and His Package. What route did you go after high school? It's crazy that you found me on here now, because I was just thinking about you last week, wondering if you kept yourself out of trouble. It's funny how that works out...
