Alternative hip hop duo, Inspired Flight (made up of Gabe Lehner/9 Theory and Eric Poline/OpenOptics), soar through the cosmos in their titular reissued single, “We All Want To Fly” from their 2010 album of the same name.
The song features a verse from Inspectah Deck of the legendary hip hop group, Wu-Tang Clan, which adds a nice sense of clout to the song’s firepower, which holds true all these years later. As the title track (as well as the last track of the album), it’s a nice culmination of the album’s unique mix of indie electronica interlaced with rhythmic hip hop flavor.
For fans of LCD Soundsystem, this will be a must listen that takes weird atmospheric samples and echoing vocals that ripple through an expansive digital void. It’s an impressive array of sounds that defies easy categorization, and the album’s reissue displays its timeless nature – in fact, it shares many sonic similarities to LCD’s 2017 album, American Dream, in the way it cuts loose and indulges in a digital daydream.
The deluxe, 2-part reissue of We All Want To Fly is available now on major streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL, Deezer, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, and BandCamp. Find this and more excellent music on the Alchemical Records Multigenre Mixture playlist on Spotify.

Aria Velz is a director, TikToker, and Lesbian Media Enthusiast based in the D.C. area. On November 2nd, she sat down with me to talk about it all, from her latest production at Olney Theatre Center to the things that lead to her little corner on TikTok.
On October 29th, Olney Theatre Center wrapped its run of Prince Gomolvilas’ ‘The Brothers Paranormal.’ The disconcerting, borderline terrifying production was co-directed by Olney’s Senior Associate Artistic Director, Hallie Gordon, and Velz herself. The show was one of the spookiest times I have had in a theatre in quite some time. It was evident that the show was a well researched labor of love.
