When you think of Switzerland you don’t immediately associate it with house music. Basel-born DJ Le Roi is about to change this premise. With his exquisite sound, mixing the deep and dark with funk and hiphop; he has been earning his stripes during the last couple of years. Le Roi will touch down in Amsterdam for the ADE Electronique Showcase. So we were delighted to be featuring Le Roi for this week’s mix.

DJ Le Roi - Deep House Amsterdam Electronique ADE Podcast #001

My return to Moontribe after 4 years!  Hey it ain't so easy to pull off living in Oregon... but good news, my venue booking business has me in California at least once a month so far this year :)

Anyway, it was great to be back!  For a March Full Moon this was a little more intimate than I was expecting - still a few hundred people there on a beautiful Thursday night though!

Musically this is on the faster,(130bpm) harder end of my range.  I did also slip in some breakbeats at the beginning and in the middle.

A lot of people haven't heard me play this style, and I always get a couple surprised comments when I play like this.  It's good to keep people on their toes!

I'll post the track list soon, but it takes a minute, and I wanted to get this up before it gets late :)  

I had a really great time here, and I danced for hours.  It was the first time I'd been in front of a huge system since the pandemic, sounded so good out there!  

Hope to be back for more soon  :)

Ben Annand Live FMG March 2022

Here's the mix I did for the BBC Radio 1 - November was HIP HOP TAKEOVER month. I did an exclusive mix for the "Semtex Show" alongside Mixmaster Mike. A few other DJ homies who did mixes were DJ Craze, DJ Shadow, DJ Cash Money, Just Blaze and Mannie Fresh. Was an honor to be a part of the show and felt great to get back to my roots and get down on some proper Hip Hop. Enjoy!

It was so great to be back at Full Moon Gathering to celebrate 31-Year Anniversary!

26 of those years I have been an active Moontribe resident DJ, but it had been almost 2 years since my last visit.  Living in Oregon  makes things difficult, the stars have to align just right... and they did!

This is one of my favorite sets I've played!  I dug hard through my music, taking advantage of a months-long process of organizing and labeling my entire music collection.

We played this sunrise together almost exactly a year ago. It was the sunrise at the end of our https://soundcloud.com/campcharlieunicorns Unicorn Rampage at Leyenda Eterna 2015. Thank you so much Leyenda and ChinoSound for passing this mix over to me this week. 

Over the years, I played a few tag team sets with our little acorn. We would always say, its sort of weird how they work in this strange way. My theory was that we were 2 sides of a coin. He was this boy who knows how to be really emotional and I was this girl who was all about being really boss. LOL! Hearing every questionable mix (we were tired ok!) or funny song selection takes me back to these early morning hours. I'm glad I have this as a final goodbye to my friend <3 <3 <3

You don't miss LA when you fly through the smog layer and hit traffic - you miss LA when you wear your smile and feet out dancing to amazing music with friends.

Such a beautiful reunion of the old-school moontribe djs and dancers, thank you Treavor for putting it all together! It was a proper return and I was touched to hear I am also missed in Los Angeles ♡

This weekend I'm headed up north for Gorg O Mish in Vancouver BC Friday night and then Cascadia Saturday night. Never a dull moment!

Dekado - Ephemeral

I'm on a techno kick in January and good timing because it's been a while since I put out an intense one like this on Soundcloud.

When I lived in Socal, Moontribe was the place I could play like this :)
But can't make that much anymore.  

I never would have thought I could get away with this set in Sacramento. But the Lost in Groove team has cultivated something special there.  And it was full moon!

Sacratechno!

Proof is in the pudding
If you cultivate a crowd with good underground music they will grow to love it
Be it house or techno or whatever

You just have to do it, don't pander to what you think people want
It might take a little time
But it's worth it

Thank you Lost in Groove for the bomb party!!

Ben Annand 2020 Techno Set (Live At Technosaic In Sacramento 1-11-20)

In my new studio mix series I want to offer some mixes in different genres, and with a little different feel than you might get from a live mix.

I've been exploring tracks I don't play out much or else in a long time, that are not necessary dance-driven but more interesting conceptually...

This first mix is a techno mix which starts gently and escalates quickly before coming back down to a nice close.

It would be a lot to ask a dance floor to have this much change in energy but this isn't for the dance floor necessarily

It's more a reflection of the chaos all of us feel in our lives right now.

I've done a few LiveStreams, all house, and really been dying to play some techno.

This set even started as a livestream, but had some tech issues so I just played for my wife an I, and opened up a bit more musically than I probably would have if live

Anyway, hope you are well out there wherever you are! 
And hope you enjoy the mix!

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.
