Brooklyn-based DJ and producer, Saint Velez has emerged out of the notoriously industrial New York scene, cutting his teeth in warehouses from Bushwick to Bedstuy. Having released a slew of singles and EPs in 2021, including his charting number, “Load of My Mind” via Back In Black Recordings, and “Cigarette Cuts” via T78’s Autektone Dark, the rising talent looks to reenter the release radar with his debut full-length LP, Warehouse Poetry via De-Konstrukt Records. A propulsive effort from start to finish, the 10-track album weaves a sinuous path through the New York underground, transporting listeners to a time zone somewhere between sunset and daybreak, scraping the depths of the night. Born out of internal conflict, Warehouse Poetry highlights the trials and tribulations of a raver embedded within the scene, following the highs and lows in an unending journey to sunrise. Following a loose theme based on Liam Neeson’s character in The Gray, who carries a poem from his wife who recently passed in both the film and real life, the LP serves as a reminder of passion in sound, situated outside of a corrupted crowd. Warehouse Poetry successfully encapsulates the weekly odyssey of the dedicated raver, escaping from the world, only to emerge yet again.
