On his weekly Celsius Drop show, dublab co-founder Frosty guides you through an exploration of the vast Future Roots music spectrum.

John Shepherd had a special mission in life: to make contact with aliens. Over the course of thirty years John transformed his grandparents’ home in rural Michigan into an incredible laboratory from which he broadcast experimental music millions of miles into space. Matthew Kilip’s mesmerizing film, John Was Trying to Contact Aliens charts the rise and fall of this one man SETI project, before opening up into a broader story about the human need for connection.

On this special Celsius Drop episode, John Shepherd joined Frosty to talk about his deep space focused music transmissions and share some archival Project S.T.R.A.T. broadcasts. John Was Trying to Contact Aliens is available to stream as of today on Netflix.
