Hot Sugar's Cold World
Nick Koenig, aka Hot Sugar, is in a hot mess. Considered a modern-day Mozart, the young electronic musician/producer records sounds from everyday life�from hanging up payphone receivers to Hurricane Sandy rain�and chops, loops and samples them into Grammy Award�nominated beats. He�s living the life every musician dreams of, complete with an internet-phenom girlfriend, rapper/singer �Kitty.� But when she dumps him, Hot Sugar is set adrift. Fleeing to Paris, he tries to regroup, searching for new sounds and a sense of self. Filmmaker Adam Lough mixes scenes of Hot Sugar at work on his vintage recording devices with surprising soul-searching reflections he offers to the camera. As tweets and posts about the broken couple blow up on the internet, Hot Sugar�s road trip presses onward, revealing even more exotic layers of the man and his music. Fun and flash, this lyrical journey offers audiences a fascinating peek into a modern artist�s creative process.
