Electronic, post-punk and ambient music🇨🇦 As comfortable under the lights as he is behind the boards, he has lived, survived and thrived on stage and in studio.

Born into the cataclysmic collision of punk smashing its three chord chaos against the shifting, sliding shores of psychedelia, Colin Kelday, better known as SNOOG, emerged from the slumber of suburbia to embark on a career that has lead from hostile house parties to opening for major influences like Pop Will It Itself; co-producing the final album of The Watchmen and scoring the cult hit film How to Be Deadly.
​
From the moment he sprouted ears and learned to tap his toes, SNOOG’s musical maneuvers have constantly evolved: catalyzed and coalesced by the sounds he encounters. From Morricone to Depeche Mode, from the Muppet Show to Motorhead, SNOOG received, absorbed, synthesized and re-output. No evolution is possible without imperfect iterations; throughout his career SNOOG has formed, nurtured and ended bands such as Spahitch, Statik and Osgoode. His style and sound as varied as his influences, the 2018 release of Black Hills represents an artist at the peak of his abilities. Now crystallized into the sensational sonic form of Quick Kick, he draws on the rich symphony of his past to craft beats that feed and soothe the future soul.

Very sad! You kept it alive for all of us

On Friday, September 25th, David Marsden 'put on his wings' and slipped the surly bonds of Earth.

For so many of us, David was far more than a voice on the radio. He touched countless lives in profound ways, and in the coming months, we look forward to gathering for a public Celebration of Life—sharing cherished memories, laughter, and perhaps a few tears together. Until then, we welcome you to share your stories in the comments below, or to email longer reflections and tributes to [email protected].

NYthespirit.com remains fiercely committed to David’s love of music, his independent programming ethos, and The Spirit of Radio.

Stay Curious!!!

This release is a signature end of summer / back to school soundtrack of chill beats and ambient sounds. I was able to return there for the first time in 30 years just a few years back and it hadn’t changed at all. I hope to return one more time. But not yet. Black Hills turns 8 today.
