Alex Figueira
Like many subjects in the Dust & Grooves universe, Alex Figueira is also linked to Joel Stones, the Brazilian New York transplant who famously helmed the East Village record mecca Tropicália in Furs (R.I.P.). Alex’s love of Brazilian psychedelic music, among many other styles, led to him inviting Mr. Stones to record with him and some friends in Amsterdam for a project called Fumaça Preta (Black Smoke), including a couple of singles and one album released on Soundway Records in 2014.

A friend of mine recently referred to Discogs.com–the user-generated online discography (and marketplace) for records, CDs, tapes and all forms of musical media–as a national, no universal, treasure of information. Many liken it to Wikipedia (which it predates) but for audio media, with the goal to protect and celebrate all music, from the ultra obscure to chart toppers.
