bundescast 015 - 2022

Something a little different for ya.  Me at my moodiest.  In more recent years I apply tags to my tracks of different vibes so that I can organize my massive music collection better.  One of the biggest categories is 'Moody.'  

Of course a lot of people going out on Friday and Saturday night to my gigs are out to celebrate, so this category doesn't get as much play live as more funky upbeat rhythms.  As such it's somewhat underrepresented on my Soundcloud.

Well not anymore :). I'm dedicated to releasing more sets this year and I see this one as the start of a series.  Welcome to Ben Annand Moody AF :). 

The opener of this series is an opening set I played on a Sunday night from 9-11pm. It's actually just the first hour, 9-10.  It's ok to be moody when people are settling in :). It was also November just after the time change and loss of light... the beginning of the moody season in Eugene :)

An opening set is always interesting musically (or should be) because you get to start from scratch, and set the tone for the whole night.  So it's always a set that should be played with intention.

In this particular case, I was in a sensitive space because I had taken some really nasty criticism from the organizer of an event recently before.  I won't go into detail but it was very tactlessly and cruelly delivered.  So of course that affected my headspace both in terms of insecurity, and in terms of wanting to deliver a great set since I didn't entirely disagree with the criticism so much as I was hurt by the tone from a supposed friend.

So why am I telling you this?  Because this set is moody as fuck!  It opens with a lush vocal track that really spoke to me when my marriage suddenly went up into smoke. I find this track really intense so I haven't played it much but at home.   

The mix stays deep and moody, gradually building energy then wavering then building.  It's super trippy, a little dark/melancholy for me, but still house and totally danceable of course :)

So with all that said, I hope you enjoy this one and I will keep em coming!

So What Radioshow 473/Sa3b

My most varied and ambitious set to date!  

Hope you enjoy AnnandEdance - I put a lot of thought, time and energy into this interpretation of Ecstatic Dance.

From 0 bpm to 67 winding up to 126 and then back to stillness

Ambient - Downtempo - House - Techno - Broken Beat  - Progressive - House - Ambient

It's an extended journey just over 3 hours so longer then normal Ecstatic Dance formet.  And more 4/4 than most Edance but there is broken house and downtempo and evena Drum and Bass track in the mix

Mahalo to Simon Smith, Paul Sykes, and Garden Temple for the opportunity!

There are times when your ass needs to cash the checks your mouth wrote. After 17 years digital, it was time to mix an all-vinyl set, thanks to Brit's 90s black light birthday rave. There were train wrecks but it was fun and a massive adrenaline rush when I landed a mix right. (This is not the live set, but the test mix with the same rekkids, recorded at home.)

Special thanks to: Wesley Holmes, Chris Buening, & Mark O'Brien for vinyl gifts played here, to Kadeejah Streets for finding turntables for me, to the Wonder Twinz & Black Velveteen for encouragement. And to Brit & Shaun for coaxing me into some growth, and finally exploring those vinyl roots I always meant to. Ready let's grow!

That 90s Black Light Rave (vinyl set for Brit's birthday!)

Our sunrise outting at Burning Man is one of my favorite happenings each year. It's a culmination of our art car project, the Dirty Goat Roadhouse, DJing, and celebrating a new day with loved ones. It's pretty special. 
This mix is a selection of tracks that I don't play out very often. These are not bangers or heavy hitters, but a collection of minimal/deep/tech/melodic house music spanning over 15 years. This sunrise was right before the big storms, the sky was spectacular. Please enjoy the mello vibes.

Zeebo // Live @ Flammable 05.12.2024

Get it: www.beatport.com/release/arab-dub/5340350
Arab Dub is a deep dive into the meeting point of heavy dub grooves and Middle Eastern soul. Across eight tracks, Wöllner invites a diverse lineup of guest musicians - including YUZ & Itzhak Ventura, Roy Smila, Yael Dagon, Eje Eje, IBY, Elad Cohen, Carmelly and Yestegan chaY - each adding their own instrument and spirit to the journey.
From the hypnotic basslines and echo-drenched percussion of ""Roots"" to the soaring strings and desert winds of ""Nakhal"", the album moves between meditative soundscapes and dance-floor-ready pulses. Organic instruments like Oud, Ney, and Kamanche intertwine with electronic beats, delays, and reverbs, creating a cinematic, cross-cultural sound.
It’s music without borders - rooted in tradition, yet fully alive in the present - inviting listeners to drift, dance, and dream across the dunes.

Biography:

In his zone from deep house to techno, Ben Annand pairs impeccably smooth mixing skills with a dynamic style that keeps the music moving, artfully playing with breakdowns and spending most of his time in the mix.

“For me, a great mix is the interplay of 2 unique pieces of music, creating something greater than the sum of the parts - and a great set weaves those mixes into a musical flow you can’t help but lose yourself in on the dance floor.”

Ben fell in love with dancing and rave culture in 1995, and learned to mix in 1996. Just 2 years later he became resident dj at the famed Moontribe Gathering, and started his own production company, Tropical. The first half of his career was mostly focused on DJing abroad, with 13 trips to Moscow’s Propaganda club, travel across Russia, Spain, and Mexico, an appearance at Wiggle at Fabric in London and two at the Labyrinth Festival in Japan.  

In more recent years, Ben Annand became a top West Coast festival DJ, and recently played a standout set at his 5th consecutive Lightning in a Bottle (CA). He has also appeared at Sunset Campout and Desert Hearts (CA), Oregon Eclipse (OR), Photosynthesis and Cascadia (WA), Shambhala and Motion Notion (BC, Canada).

As organizer of Tropical, he's donated over $32,000 to charity, hosted zero-waste events in Hawaii, and presented gender-balanced dj lineups.

Whatever his project,, Ben Annand is always contributing, and always thinking outside the box.
