Lightning in a Bottle 2011 Mix

It was so great to (re)/connect with everyone out in the desert under the stars, been far too long. Thanks so much to Kevin Campbell aka Exolinguist for inviting me to play!

In “signature” beforeman style, this journey progresses through an eclectic universe of psychedelic techno and trance following a gradual bpm increase throughout the course of the set from 125-141. It contains a blend of both a brand new batch custom curated for the occasion, as well as some deep OG cuts from the Bri-brary, some of which haven’t found their way into any of my psy psets up until now.

It was truly a rejuvenating and exhilarating experience!

Live @ DUST Friends Reunion - 3/18/23

It was 10pm in the dome after a sound bath and I wasn’t sure what to expect, so I started slow with the classic “flow and glow” sequence. To my delight, the sounds attracted a small crowd and we got a little dance party going. Funnn!

I was beaming the whole time getting to share the experience with my down ass lucid dads and other fresh connections.
