To get on the nerves of puritans and conservatives? Nah. Truth is: The fact that people exist that have a problem with them doesn’t stop them from being genres that are worth exploring, experiencing, and experimenting with, genres that some of us find intriguing, exciting, and fascinating, genres that a few of us can’t get enough of, genres that resonate down to our core. And we don’t have a problem with them. What we do have a problem with is the suppression of these things for no good reason.
• Why such emphasis on style?
Not emphasis, really, just that style is what we currently focus on. It doesn’t mean that we believe it is all there is or what should be prioritized. It’s just an aspect we’re bringing forth. If you don’t care for it, that’s totally fine! Better to have substance and no show, than show and no substance.

Given that this is for the long haul, we’re looking forward to bringing more and more to it throughout the years. See it take shape and evolve over time while keeping its essence. Let vision and the realities of the moment guide us.
