FNF 2023 Main/Pool Submissions

Dance Party

We've been wanting to play a dope sexy pool party for a long time now.  This came together on a humid 95 degree day at the Cadillac of campouts.  The vibe we were going for was sweaty, sexy, dirty, party music; but we were reaching deep into our crates to pull out all the songs of years past that we've wanted to hear in a bassy, half-naked, poolside setting.  So forgive us if you've heard some of these in the past, but we were particularly stoked on how the mixing worked out. 

So kick back, turn up the heat, put on that sexy number you've been waiting to show off, and put THIS in your pina colada.

Poolside - FnF 2013 - Dao & Pwny

My set from the RS event at Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland, California. Pretty amazing event! I played from 1:15 am to 2:30 am to a packed raging dancefloor at a planetarium. This set is full of classic progressive house as well as modern tunes from the underground to the above ground, whatever sounded good and whatever fit was fair game! Had a lot of fun playing it and the dancefloor seemed to dig it too! :) Hope you enjoy :)

After a three year fire and pandemic hiatus, the FnF Summer Campout was back with a bang. =) So it seemed only appropriate to bring some bangin techno. There's a bunch of new stuff and a few of my all-time favs.  Recorded live on that Saturday night with all my favorite people! Turn it up and rock out!

I struggle to put into words how much it meant to me to get to play music for this incredible community. Thank you so much to all the talented people who made this amazing event happen, and thank YOU for listening!

BASSBEN Live at FnF Summer Campout 2022

This is a livestream broadcast of the set I had prepared to close the Friday night main stage at the Friends and Family 2022 Campout. Sadly, COVID-19 had other plans for me, so I streamed it from home instead. Recorded on June 25, 2022.

Balls: live (not) at FnF Campout 2022

I originally played this set at the Mountain Lotus Yoga cabin in Truckee, CA. It is very funky and probably my best recorded mix to date. Hope you enjoy dancing to it 💃 🕺 🎶

Many thanks to @Rithma for the beautiful mastering job! 

Lightning in a Botttle 2022 was my first big festival after the pandemic and it was HUGE - more than 30,000 people.  I played Thursday night and there were only 3 stages going and already 18,000 people there.  This set was played on the Junkyard stage to I don't know maybe 1500-2000 people - a secondary stage became pretty main, and the mains of course were nuts at this fest.

I knew exactly where was going with this set, coming out of the pandemic with pure unbridled euphoric house vibe on the edge of underground and mainstream.  People were freaking out, it was so so so lovely there I can't even tell ya ♡♡♡  

Incredible experience and before I go any further let me thank Jesse and Dede Flemming for throwing the whole shebang, and Patricio for curating the Junkyard stage formerly known as Favela Bar.

DJing is an art, or it should be.  I'm not just transitioning tracks, I am almost always playing with tracks together with very short gaps in between. I spend far more time in the mix of two tracks than out.  

DJing is also a performance, particularly at a festival, and to be honest I'm way more natural musically than as a performer.  I think the most important thing is how a mix sounds listening back - lots of the more 'showy' sets I can't get through live let alone listen to later.

BUT PERFORMANCE IS STILL IMPORTANT!  People want to see the DJ having fun, and that's not always natural for me.  

LIB has been a great confidence builder for me, my sets have steadily improved and my DJ energy even more :)  It's become home for me and I have a really nice following there after 5 years straight.

Much credit to the amazing sounding DJ booth provided by Todd Anisman of ChinoSound - who became Tropical's sound guru right after the first tome I played in 2016 - I felt my groove and put on at least a decent show along with a really nice house set.  

MUCH LOVE TO THE ARTISTS FOR THE TRACKS I WOVE TOGETHER - I hope you also listen and enjoy my art ♡♡♡  
Credit where credit's due, and bite my style all you want, it's super flattering and more importantly gives exposure to artists who likely get less than they deserve.  

Special shout out to Kevin McKay who I've been following since 90s Glasgow Underground - always one if my fave vinyl labels - for the peak moment in the middle of this set when the crowd absolutely exploded for 'Move Your Body'.  

And another to Christian Burkhardt for appearing the most in my track list - I guess you know who my favorite producer is lately :).
 
But really, really, all these tracks and artists are super great, please look up and support

They are Jake McCaffery and Aaron King, better known as the Breakspoll Award-winning duo Se7en Deadly Breaks, and we're absolutely thrilled to have them in The Armory this week! Press play. Get down. 

Aaron & Jake joined forces back in 2007 to form Se7en Deadly Breaks as they both had a passion for underground music and an even bigger passion to be the ones behind the decks.

Whilst the pair was making there mark in and around Berkshire they also had shows on two of the biggest pirate radio stations in London and the west London area PointBlank FM & Flex FM which took the attention of some well known names in the scene including Deekline & Wizard, Pure SX, Pyramid, Jigga Flo, Sneaky D, CodeBreaker and Ben & Lex to name a few.

Se7en Deadly Breaks have quickly became a well known name because of the party's and event's they have played & also Radio but more importantly because of the music selection they play and the way they both have similar mixing styles behind the decks with their scratching, edits, loops and the way they switch up into genres they know how to rock a party!

Se7en Deadly Breaks have been hitting big club events in London which have seen them play along side there idols in the Breakbeat world such as Deekline, Stanton Warriors, Pyramid, Ed Solo, High Rankin, Hostage & Jurrasik to name a few. They have also Headlined the 2012 Hot Cakes Break Beach Festival in Spain and are set on course to continue growing strong as DJ's & two best friends loving what they do and the people they meet on this musical journey they are on.

Now with the lads 1st release on Deekline's BOOTY BREAKS label in November 2012 "Superman" hitting NUMBER ONE in the TOP 100 BREAKS CHART on BEATPORT they are set for a big future. 

And now in the new year of 2013 they won the award of Breakthrough DJ at the 12th International Breakbeat Awards and have the full support from some huge names in the scene including, Deekline, Stanton Warriors, Lady Waks, Ben & Lex, Pyramid, Ed 209.

Se7en Deadly Breaks - Episode 037

Saturday night on the Main Stage surrounded by 450 of your most beloved Friends and Family. Live set from our 25th Annual Summer Campout, June 3, 2023.

Lick the DJ - live at FnF XXV (Summer Campout 2023)

Excited to release my set from LIB 20-Year Anniversary!  Every LIB experience for me seems to top the last.  

This year was special as I hosted Camp Tropical for the first time and had my daughter, Cerise, there for the first time since 2019.  And it was LIB's 20th year, and a brilliant one!

Huge thank you to the Flemming Brothers - Jesse, Dede and Josh and team for producing the Fest, to Patricio Motta for producing the Junkyard Stage I played on, and to Todd Anisman for the ChinoSound!

I always put a lot of effort into my LIB sets, and this year no exception but with the extra challenge of extra responsibility x 2 - organizing a Tropical group camp, and caring for my daughter, who made a few visits to the DJ booth during this set as well.

Honestly I did feel a little less focused that normal up there and wasn't sure how I was going to feel about my set when I got the recording.  I'm a harsh self-critic but I actually love this mix as much as any of the 6 others I've played at this lovely fest :)

Many thanks to the brilliantly talented producers whose tracks I mixed - here is the complete listing, tagged, so you can check their work <3

1. @Undo	 - Aliens Go Home
	
2. @Matthias-tanzmann, @francisco-allendes - Disco Mike

I definitely play with a certain aesthetic at LIB, which is to honor the crossing of the underground and mainstream in my own way.  I describe this set as banging and uplifting, with carefully chosen vocals.  I mean a festival is a celebration, and this just year 2 out of the pandemic I'm definitely favoring uplifting over dark.  

Ok, I do favor that generally, but same time I am processing some darkness over the past 2 years as I've experienced huge losses.  Last year's LIB I was processing the recent demise of my marriage, while this year I was processing the loss of my mom last September.

Recently in our West Coast underground music community we have lost some very special people and there's been a lot of sadness over that, especially this past week.  

One of the very best tools for processing loss is of course music and dance - I hope this set brings you light and joy in these challenging times <3

Please give this set a listen, a like, and a repost if the spirit moves you. Your comments are always welcomed, and usually answered <3

Twerk Me!  Jocelyn on Abraxus ~ Friday Night @ BurningMan 1am

Due to playa-related electrical difficulties, the original recording of this authentic Hoe Down set was lost. I have however made every effort to recreate the original: I left an hour late; rode 45 minutes through dark, treacherous and rebar-laden sand; got lost at a terrible fake hoe down; course corrected; rolled up bathed in sweat and panic stricken; dumped a container full of fresh playa dust on my gear, chugged three fingers of Jameson and pressed Play. Yeaaaaaah baby! That's how we do it. =)

Huge thanks to the Space Cowboys and Cowgirls for the massive commitment of love, energy and hard work it takes to make shit happen out there and of course for the opportunity to play; it was a long-time dream of mine and of course did not disappoint. Extra big love to my Cowgirl compadre and BFF Tamo who always looks out for me. Love ya Tammers! - Ethan
