I'm happy to share my set from Light.wav 2022. I wasn't able to capture it live, but I remixed and recorded it at home. It was such a blast to play this set with a fun Sacramento crowd and alongside some great art! Props to @alex-r-trujillo for creating the event and infusing it with so much of his own energy and creativity. https://www.instagram.com/lightwavsac/

On a recent morning, instead of fighting to fall back asleep, I got up at dawn and took a journey (immersed in headphones) through this deep and dubby landscape. I hope you enjoy it!

I was happy to play at Light.wav again this year. I really dug the set and was sad to discover that the live recording was full of glitches. I finally got around to remixing and recording it. I hope it gets you moving and thanks, as always, to these producers who make this magic!

Also, thanks to Sophie Baker, an innovative VJ and motion designer based in SF, for the unique cover art; a still taken from her installation at Light.wav. Follow her on IG @loaf_bkr

I’ve been revisiting this mixtape I made back in the winter of 2009. It’s quite a detour from the electronic/techno that I usually play and is chock full of post rock and indie pop that suits the winter mood. Hope you enjoy it!

Winter MixTape '09

This is a rework/remix of one of my most memorable sets; playing at sunrise on the playa, underneath my Samara Installation at Burning Man 2006. One of the motivating factors behind the installation, was to create a space to throw a party with my crew. We played all night and had views of the legendary Uchronia (aka Belgian Waffle), deep playa, and the Black Rock horizon. While these tracks are ~15 yrs old, they still shine! Recorded at home, 318 days into the pandemic.
