I was fortunate enough to be able to spend the Christmas and New Year of 21/22 with friends old and new in Tulum. Along the way I was able record several of my sets, including this 3 hour Christmas party on a rooftop overlooking the jungle.

21.12.18 Beau Sebastian Live @ Casa Tzigane, Tulum MX

This set of new and overlooked tracks from 2022 was recorded at midnight in New Zealand, which is the 1st (significant) place on the planet to experience the roll of the calendar and so if you are lucky enough to be enjoying this on your New Year's Eve then you can think of this as a transmission from the future! I wish you all the best for the New Year and please be kind to each other!

22.12.31 A New Years Eve Set

22.12.31 A New Year's Eve Set Mixed by Beau Sebastian

On an evening here in Sydney (that was honestly not nearly as nice as this cover would suggest) I recorded my first "Isolated Sunset" in over 2 years. What has come to be called "Organic House" at its worst can be beautiful but entirely forgettable, but at its best it can be powerfully evocative - using live instrumentation to create incredible sound scapes that communicate passion like no other sub-genre of House Music. I hope you enjoy the journey!

23.01.19 Isolated Sunsets Vol.12 - Sydney, Australia

Spending quite a bit of time in Portugal is giving me some extra time to catch up on music and set recordings well overdue for my attention. This set is another slow burning collection of downtempo ethno house showcasing some of the more astonishing producers in the genre working today. For some this set's darker feel and slow tempo might distract from the rich, complex arrangements of the genre, but each track has consciously been given room to breath in the mix - to be its own fulfilling chapter of the larger story - and many of these tracks will surprise you with with their depth and emotional density. That said, I encourage you to listen late, listen loud, and to give yourself over to the next 90 minutes without distraction...

23.07.22 The Age of Light Vol.13 - Algarve, Portugal

It has been a serious while since I have cranked out one these sets, but spending some time this past Christmas actually on the Hokianga for the first time since before COVID and not taking time out of my not so busy schedule really wasn't an option. So here is a really nice little set of Organic House meets Progressive House (both terms I find to be wildly misleading)for your listening pleasure...

23.01.07 Mists Over The Hokianga Vol.6 - Mixed by Beau Sebastian

23.01.07 Mists Over The Hokianga Vol.6

The last time I posted one of these sets was in the darkest days of the Lockdown in 2020 - an eternity away when everything about the world felt less certain and a little more raw. This set was recorded on New Year's Day 2023 in New Zealand - the middle of summer in the Southern Hemisphere and instead a time of hope and renewal for me and the world. While I tag of these tracks in my collection as "Dark" (hence the title of this series) they are just as often the some of the most emotionally full and sensorially astonishing tracks that I experience as a DJ - and I love these journeys as much as I love any of the music that I am fortunate to be able to play and publish for your listening pleasure.

Here then is music from artists such as Rinzen, K-os Theory & SIAAH, Teho, Darksidevinyl, Sabo, Lismant, Levy M, Lazarusman, and many others...

23.01.01 Through A Glass Darkly Vol. 9

In November 2023 I was in Medellin, Colombia playing on the Aeonica Stage @ RITVALES. This set of Afro House was prepared for a late night slot that ended up being cancelled - but I liked it so much that I went ahead and recorded it anyway. Let me know what you think!

24.02.16 Beau Sebastian Live @ SAGA Supper Club, Venice Beach CA

This is actually a recording of a pre-set rehearsal that I'm posting while we wait for the good (and apparently very busy) folk at Aeonica to get their shite together to post the actual set recordings. Most gigs that I play I will have at the very least a pretty tight "crate" of tracks to play from, or sometimes (as in this case) I will map out precisely what I want to play and when. The truth for me is that you can never really know what anybody is going to like, so I make the commitment to play what I love and trust that if I do my job properly then it's a journey that [you] want to take with me. Anyway, Los Vampyros (the name I gave to the very stylish Colombian festival goers who wear sunglasses while bathing in the lights from the stage) seemed to enjoy the set and I had a blast playing it for them. Enjoy!

23.11.05 Beau Sebastian @ Aeonica Stage, RITVALES Festival, Colombia

23.11.05 Beau Sebastian @ The Aeonica Stage, RITVALES, Colombia

A 2 hour edit of a 3 hour set recorded live at my favorite hotel on the Playa - The Ashram Galactica. This one is a rollicking, uptempo Afro and Organic House banger that kicks off with Ameme's "Torero" and doesn't let off until we get off at Rufus' remix of Adriatique & Who Made Who's "Miracle". Let me know what you think!

24.08.29 Live @ Ashram Galactica, Burning Man 2024 (Edit)

On a gorgeous night in April I was reunited with my brothers Patricio and Marques Wyatt at The Rose Room in Venice for Marques' signature night in LA - VENICE GETS DEEP. Some nights are just special, and there is no better word to describe playing this set that includes some of my absolute favorite deep Afro cuts from 2023 and the start of 2024 for so many of my LA family.

24.04.13 Live @ Deep, Venice Bach CA (Re-recording)

24.04.13 Venice Gets Deep, Venice Beach CA

So pleased to once again be invited back to Colombia in November to play on the "secret stage"  presented by Aeonica for the RITVALES ("Ritual-es") Festival. This is a re-record of the 60 minute set I played to an amazing Medellin crowd who pretty much ignored the torrential rain pouring down on them on Saturday night and brought as much to me as I was giving to them!

24.11.02 The Aeonica Stage @ RITVALES, Medellin, Colombia

A 90 minute slice of a live set recorded upstairs at Lisbon's Micro Lounge for the MicroWave party in march of 2025.

25.03.14 Live @ MicroWave, Lisbon

My birthday celebration this year kicked off with a sunset cruise through Benoa Harbor in Bali, and this set to see off the day...

15.11.29 Beau Sebastian Live On The Dragoon 130, Bali

Part 2 of a 5 hour set recorded at the 50th birthday celebration for Blair Harrison. This was the tail end of over 8 hours of playing in one night at 2 different events and includes some of my favorite tracks from 2015 and 2016.

16.12.17 Frequency Vol. 1 Pt. 2 - Beau Sebastian Live for Blair Harrison's 50th

Friday was a busy day at my first Burn since 2012 with 3 sets in 18 hours - the first of which was this deep, progressive journey on Charlie The Unicorn artcar dedicated to MIss Cornelia. Many thanks to Chino and the whole Charlie crew, Drew for hunting us down, and my girl Cornelia for being my light.

17.09.01 A Sunrise Set for Cornelia - Beau Sebastian Live on Charlie The Unicorn, Burning Man 2017

An invitation to attend an elegant affair should never be ignored if possible - especially when it involves a remote 'castle' in the hills above San Diego; a candle lit, sit down dinner for 60 people; and a dress code of lingerie for women and black tie for men. Throw in some good friends and a handful of DJ's who love what they do - and voila!

17.10.07 Eyes Wide Open Vol 1. - Beau Sebastian Live in San Diego, CA

The 2nd in what has become an annual sojourn into the more emotional side of Progressive House (and what is now called "Melodic House & Techno"). This set features work from artists such as WhoMadeWho, Stereocalypse, Hraach & Armen Miran, Dan baber & Fractal Architect, Clawz SG, Danito & Athina, Stan kolev & Matan Caspi, Rikfell, Township Rebellion, Dee Montero, and Yost.

17.10.22 Mists Over the Hokianga Vol. 2 - Mixed by Beau Sebastian

17.10.22 Mists Over the Hokianga Vol. 2

For your consideration(as we like to say here in Hollywood) - Part 2 of this epic downtempo set kicked it up a notch as the hosts of one of the Playa's most notorious and long running salons opened their doors to a dusty public who had been patiently lining up for over an hour on a gorgeous Friday evening in Black Rock City...

17.09.01 Beau Sebastian Live @ Ashram Galactica Pt. 2, Burning Man 2017

In the first few hours of the new year I found myself (unusually)at home and road testing a new sound system. This set combines some of the best new tracks of the last half of the year, a few that may be familiar to frequent Soundcloud listeners, but mostly tracks that I loved but that I didn't get a chance to include in live recordings.

18.01.01 Through A Glass, Darkly Vol.1 - A Beau Sebastian Mix

18.01.01 Through A Glass Darkly Vol.1

Week 1 of a new semi-weekly series hosted at Estrella in West Hollywood  was the backdrop for this almost 3 hour set featuring tracks and remixes from Sebastian Leger, Black 8, YokoO, Be Svendsen, Dance Spirit, Sam Shure, Hyenah, Luciano & David Morales, Gab Rhome, Franky & Sandrino, Christoph, Super Flu, and Matthias Meyer.

18.04.01 Resurrect Sundays Vol.1 - Beau Sebastian Live @ Estrella Sunset, Los Angeles

Vol. 2 of this series is a compact journey - short (for me) but epic in its scope. Tracks include all new work from OOFT!, AFFKT, Sleg, Hot Tuneik, Eelke Kleijn, Your, Soul Button & Claws SG, Booka Shade, Michael A, Stereo Underground, and Hernan Cattaneo remixing MayDan. Enjoy!

18.07.01 Through A Glass Darkly Vol.2 - Mixed by Beau Sebastian

18.07.01 Through A Glass Darkly Vol.2

Burn night after the Man Burn I was asked to play for the "Pashram" Party hosted by the crew of The Lady Sassafras and Ashram Galactica. This is a slice of that 2 hour set as we toured around the Playa in spectacular fashion...

18.09.01 Beau Sebastian Live on The Lady Sassafras, BM 2018

Tuesday morning into the sunrise at Burning Man in the newly minted Groove Lounge tent and this set of Deep, Progressive, Tech House and Techno for some friends and family...

18.08.27 Beau Sebastian Live @ The Groove Lounge, BM 2018

Another Saturday night at home and this opportunity to lay out some of my favorite recent track discoveries. This 2 hour plus set includes tracks from Lannka, WOTAFAK, Alfonso Muchacho, Jonas Saalbach & Yuven, Paul Deep, Modeplex, Shai T. remixing Laroz Camel Rider, Nick Devon, Lee Fraser, Rob Flatter, Soul Button, and a special reappearance of Modeplex (because he's just that good!).

190406 The Age of Light Vol.1 - Beau Sebastian Live in Los Angeles

19.04.06 The Age of Light Vol.1 - Beau Sebastian Live in Los Angeles

My Friday night "residency" at the Ashram Galactica was, for various reasons beyond my control,  my only DJ performance on the Playa this year. This is the first part of that set, a sexy journey through the desert before midnight that sets the tone nicely for the magic that followed...

19.08.30 Beau Sebastian Live @ Ashram Galactica Pt.1 - Burning Man 2019 

The blues. To some the idea of listening to music heavy with  emotion when the world is looking grim makes absolutely no sense at all - but for others, me included, it can help to process emotions in a powerful and cathartic way. We are in the midst of one the most terrifying, confusing and potentially life altering events in perhaps all of human history, and what is coming next for us is uncertain at best. This set of deep (and some might say dark) Afro House is my "blues" - offered to you as a vehicle to process your own emotions should you find that notion appealing. It is, as the title of this series suggests, a journey to and hopefully through the darkness, so that we all may be able to see and enjoy the light  - however that may show up for each us.

20.03.29 Through a Glass Darkly Vol.5

Late October saw Los Angeles, like a lot of the world, still under a "stay-at-home" order. Having endured several months of actually staying at home a handful of us decided to instead to stay-in-RV's out in the desert near Joshua Tree over the full moon weekend - an idea that resulted in this downtempo burner as the moon rose over the desert in front of us on that Saturday night...

This set features tracks and remixes from B.A.X.; Lost Desert remixing DSF; Mass Digital; Nhil & Sarkis Mikael; Roy Rosenfeld; Socko; Amonita & Makebo; Lane 8; Framework; Luttrell; Cook Strummer; Mollono.Bass; and Felix Rapahel & Yannek Maunz.

20.10.31 Beau Sebastian Live @ Giant Rock Vol.1 - The Moon Rises

20.10.31 Beau Sebastian Live At Giant Rock Vol.1 - The Moon Rises

A Beau Sebastian set is a journey – one that may take you from one end of the musical globe to the other, from one emotion to another, from day into night, or from one day to the next. While keenly aware of house music’s rich history, Beau is firmly committed to creating contemporary musical experiences. Whether wide-open sunset sets on the beach or late-night underground sets in a warehouse or club, Beau seeks out the best and brightest new music for his audience’s listening and dancing pleasure - tracks with complex rhythms and melodies from all over the planet that are then woven together to create musical experiences that are both compelling and rich with emotion.
