A software Engineer by day and a madman producer, DJ, leader, partner, groover, and genuine friend to many by night, Sprout is nowhere near stopping. It's almost poetic that The Afternoon Umbrella Friends began with throwing desert parties, then came blazing onto the scene throwing some of the best parties seen at our beloved Kava Lounge last year, then returned to the desert with their biggest production to date only to have it be pretty much the last big gathering we would have for a long long time! During Umbrella Weekend, an escape of great music and impressively interesting logistical challenges, this man kept his cool, listened and valued the input of peers, and adapted for the good of the experience as a whole, and it comes through in his set, as a true sonic journey for the space we were all in, together.

This week we have something extra special on Audio Espresso. In collaboration with Bedouin's imprint, Human By Default, we bring you a DJ set by Leo Bakiri and Tim Parelias. They are a rising DJ/producer duo originating from Istanbul and based in San Diego. United by their mutual love of music, the two friends began their journey spinning tracks at local frat parties, often hosting spontaneous after-parties in their dorm. It wasn’t long before they discovered their creative synergy was something rare. As their collaboration deepened, their sound evolved, transitioning from humble dorm rooms to some of the most exclusive clubs across Europe. Yet, for them, the venue never mattered. Their dedication to crafting deep, hypnotic grooves paired with melodic storytelling gave birth to their signature sound, which they proudly call “Deep Dancing.” #letsdance
