Reply to DJ’s in NHV that have a following? Looking to have experimental ambient electronic nights on the reg in an east rock late night cafe by falafelfella

As someone who's actively been involved in the local/regional electronic scene for almost a decade, can't say I know of anyone local that spins anything reminiscent of experimental ambient type stuff (stuff like Kraftwerk?). I do have a decent amount of connections in the area with more conventional techno, house, disco, bass, jungle, etc. DJ's if that's something you're also open too. Feel free to shoot me a DM.

In my building it hasn't happened since they repaired some pipes 3 months ago. However, I have to say you get what you pay for: the front door of my building is broken and I'm pretty sure they won't bother repairing it, A/C units in the apartments are very old so it consumes a lot of electricity and doesn't even cool enough during the summer, maintenance doesn't show up when you put in requests so you have to look for them around the complex and ask them directly to come over.

However, with current rental prices in the area, I think it's still a good option. If you end up renting here I recommend asking to inspect the apartment before your move-in date to make sure everything's working (especially the A/C, I've heard from multiple residents that it wasn't working when they moved in) or you'll be miserable the first couple of months dealing with it.

Reply to comment by flying_unicorn in CT’s Perkatory Coffee celebrates a year in Branford, more expansion by boujeeFett

They have a pretty expansive menu of flavor profile/options. They also rotate specials every month and they let each store come up with the theme on a rotating basis. So last month was Lord of the Rings, this month it's Simpsons, I think, they're gonna do Harry Potter soon, etc... and the drinks are super fun and varied.

​

I had a great latte with elderflower there last month.

Honestly, I have a love-hate relationship with Westville Village. The leasing office staff is friendly and they’ve renovated the gym and courtyard this year, which is a steal considering rental prices now. But the fire alarms are a major reason why I’m ending my lease after two years. They go off at least once every 1-2 weeks. Good luck on your search!!
