The Making of Deerhoof's "Miracle Level" at No Fun Club

Exactly one year ago today, I (Mike Bridavsky) jumped in my car and drove from No Fun Club Studios (a studio I helped design) in Winnipeg, Manitoba to John Dietrich's house in Minneapolis, MN after exporting the final mixes for Deerhoof’s “Miracle Level”. It was 11 pm on the 4th of July as I was driving through downtown Minneapolis, the new record on full blast, fireworks exploding literally a few hundred feet from my car as I was cruising over a bridge on the freeway, and in that moment it felt as though I had truly reached a miracle level of existence.

I cut together a single 10 minute video of footage from the session that goes into great detail about making this record, plus a bunch of behind-the-scenes footage including some mixing clips, overdub recording, and an eclectic selection of wondrous dances performed during the session.

Happy Birthday, Miracle Level!
