This is a quick moment in time were we had a break from COVID-19. We hit the club where everyone felt vaccinated and safe, no known variants were in our midst. I felt every note of the tracks I played that night deep in my soul and blasted out through the speakers. Replaying this set will allow you to experience a taste of what I was feeling that night, freedom, liberation, movement, joy, excitement, love, honor, pleasure.

Marking its seventh chapter, Melodic Therapy welcomes Polish artist Greg Ochman with a three-track release that cements his reputation as one of the most exciting voices in Organic House today. Recently charting high on Beatport’s Organic House rankings with his release on Closure, the label curated by Khen, Greg continues to push boundaries while gaining consistent support from some of the genre’s leading figures, including Sebastien Léger, Khen, Tim Green, Roy Rosenfeld and Guy Mantzur.

Known for his dynamic melodic approach, Greg’s productions are built on layered percussions, evolving harmonies and grooves that drive both body and mind. His tracks often balance a hypnotic pulse with intricate details, creating a sound that feels both playful and deeply immersive. Previous releases on Lost Miracle, Plattenbank, Akbal and others have already established him as a forward-thinking producer, while his latest works continue to expand his global reach.

Opening the EP, “Distant Bays” leans into cinematic atmospheres, combining rolling percussion with flowing arpeggios and warm pads that stretch across the stereo field. The track evokes images of vast, imagined coastlines, balancing meditative calm with a rhythmic drive that makes it equally suited for introspective moments and outdoor festival sets. Its progression is fluid and open-ended, embodying the transportive side of Organic House with finesse.

“Uye” works as a gradual immersion into Ochman’s world. Built around tight, syncopated percussion and a low-end groove that never loses momentum, the track develops through subtle harmonic layers and dynamic melodic phrases. Rather than chasing a single climax, “Uye” thrives on constant motion, its hypnotic flow designed to sustain energy on the dancefloor while rewarding close listening with intricate details that surface across the arrangement.

Closing with “Eclo”, the release embraces a more progressive edge. Anchored by a pulsating bassline and crisp percussive patterns, the track builds tension with evolving synth motifs and carefully measured breakdowns. There’s a psychedelic tint in its melodic phrasing, giving “Eclo” both depth and unpredictability. It feels engineered for peak moments: expansive enough to lift a crowd, yet detailed enough to reveal new layers with every listen.

Footprintsound.com NUGZ or Brian Cox, one of the first DJs to perform on a Boeing 747, began his career in music when he acquired a Fisher Price turntable at the age of 5. He started making “pause button” mix tapes from songs on the radio at the age of 10, and got on a set of Technics 1200 MK2 turntables a few years later. He now has over 24 years experience in the booth playing for millions of party people. Blodip says he’s the best he’s ever heard. His stellar sets are amazing, incredible mind blowing magic for your ear holes. His parties are a shitton of fun. His ability to not get distracted is beyond human. NUGZ is about toeing the line between light and dark, positive and negative, existence and non existence. Think yin and yang on two platters and this DJ is the bridge. He takes you on a journey, continuously comes correct with phenomenal sets and uncanny consistency. A true disc jockey in every sense of the word.
While living in Boulder, CO in the 90s, NUGZ gained two distinct achievements. He acquired residencies at Soma in Boulder (voted as one of the top ten clubs in America by BPM and several other dance music publications ), and the number one club in Colorado at the time, Vinyl (formerly 1082 Broadway in Denver). He consistently played with profound success at both of these clubs until they closed, along with numerous others in the Denver /Boulder area while still at a very early point in his career.
NUGZ moved to San Francisco in 2004, and when he isn’t traveling the world, or building art for Burning Man (DJ'd for last 16 yrs), he can be heard performing in prominent SF nightspots such as The Great Northern, Public Works, Mezzanine, Yoshi’s, and the legendary 1015 Folsom. Corporate clients include Adobe, Dianese, Wells Fargo, Facebook, and AOL. He made his mark creating late night underground soirees at a special little space know as “123”, with his production company Footprint Sound. These are still regarded by true nightlife professionals as some of the best parties in SF. He continues to produce weekly and monthly events all around the bay, and during these late nights and early mornings he shares the booth with the likes of The Stanton Warriors, Donald Glaude, Modeselektor, Tycho, Martin Buttrich, Deekline, Audiofly (a performance in his loft, 123 was their first SF show) to name a few.
He is able to blend drastically different beats from all sorts of genres, tell a story, and create a sound/vibe that are truly his own. A risk taker who owns it, works in heavy, moving, melodic basslines, with unexpected builds and drops, sometimes dirty sometimes bouncy, seamless transitions from house to slowed down breaks and back again.  Incorporating custom re-edits and remixes, the more bangin’ selections under cover of darkness revolve around House and UK Nu Skool Break Beat sounds, that range from deep, melodic, sexy, to dark, dirty, nasty, funky, grindy, techy, electro. In day light hours, you might find him spinning trip hop, down tempo, mid tempo and classic hip hop, along with sexy deep house and funk all over the bay area at places like bars, lounges, back yards, yachts, pools, rooftops, houseboat rooftops, small islands, basements, lofts/ warehouses, art galleries, Breakfast of Champions, Bay to Breakers, The SF Marathon, campouts, sidewalks, planetariums, Decompression, SF Pride Parade, the Golden State Warriors championship parade in Oakland, or Golden Gate Park. He is currently the sound engineer and resident DJ for the Dusty Rhino burning man mobile art piece where he is also a founding member.
