Through this label, he has released the albums Memories of the Future (2006) and Black Sun (2011), with The Spacecape, followed by Nothing, in 2015. In 2010, he produced a volume in the DJ-Kicks series. Alongside his artistic activities, Steve Goodman is a university lecturer and lecturer in the social, psychological and cognitive sciences.
