"I guess I'll try to keep it as simple as possible," Guthrie Drake starts when asked what Ferias is. "I would say the easy answer is that we're a party, or we're a couple of DJs, or we're promoters or whatever, but I really kind of steer away from that."
What he settles on is community: A community that gathers around music, but has spread beyond those gatherings into something as diffuse as the sprawling, almost clandestine range of venues they'll set up shows in. It's a community based in feeling, in a mindset and awareness that persists after the records stop spinning.
It's a fair statement, as to know what Ferias is is to know what Ferias isn't.
