This set played at the historic EndUp in San Francisco for the Real Deal Party Feel by Listed, Living, and the Grass is Green
It was a party full of feels!  TYSM Gunita, Nikita, and everyone who made it happen.  DJs have the easy job at a party, but your work is not unnoticed.

Playing a dj set in between two live acts - Moniker and all-time fave Dubtribe - I wanted to bring the energy up in an appropriate way, bringing some vocal energy and funkiness but also winding back down before Dubtribe.

Of course I could do zero of this without the amazing artists who created these gems I blended.  

As time goes by I'm down to pretty much zero sympathy for DJs who hide their track lists because they thinking someone will bite their style - sorry but if you think that way I doubt your style is very worth biting.  Other people made the tracks, give them the credit they deserve.  Mixing is an art - but don't be ridiculous :)

Bite me all you want it, I take it as a compliment and we both know it won't make you Ben Annand :)

BIO:
Zacharia is a name synonymous amongst Seattle’s underground dance music culture. Starting his musical and personal healing journey in the mid 90’s within the warehouse walls of the rave scene, he quickly found himself at the forefront of the drum and bass movement curating events and performing alongside the top tier drum and bass artists of the time. After being submerged in amen breaks and the driving / edgy sounds of dnb for 10 years, Zacharia was led to Burningman in 2005. It was there that he started his accent to the next phase of his musical expression. Coinciding with this change in musical direction was a shift in his personal path too healing. This trajectory can be tracked when following his musical progression, the past 17 years. Zacharia chose to start anew, eventually detaching from who he was personally and musically, and recreated himself from the ground up. As the Phoenix ascended, a more authentic, grateful, and loving version of himself emerged. 

Zacharia also prides himself on is his work helping to design and support Rane mixers during his tenure working with the original company between 2007 - 2016. His pinnacle accomplishment within the company was his hand in bringing to the world the MP2015 rotary mixer which, to this day, is a necessary component in his performances. 

Rane was sold in 2016 at which point Zacharia felt inspired to share the wisdom he had acquired on his own path to healing and chose to become a substance abuse counselor. After graduating in 2018, Zacharia found a perfect home with Bhadra Recovery and is currently the clinical supervisor and lead counselor, focusing on non-traditional methods and modalities to help others reconnect with themselves and others. 

This career path and his musical expression have begun to coalesce in a really beautiful way. 

More fully resourced and with a broader understanding of the healing process, Zacharia connects the masculine and feminine aspects of himself, delivering driving, yet gentle and nurturing, soundscapes with the intention to dig into the tough spots while resonating with the heart. Invigorated, passionately inspired, and heart centered, Zacharia is extremely excited to share the journey of life and re-discovery through his music today and long into the future.

Zacharia - 
“I am honored to become a part of the Wulfpack and believe it is a cosmic and serendipitous fit. I’m excited to be broadening my tribe and connecting to an outlet that can showcase my mixes and music in a way that feels right. 

Here is to deepening roots and experiencing what the future holds together’’

Kevin Davis Jr - TOSC 005 - Live at Tropical Oregon Summer Campout June 25, 2022

Here is part one of the infamous Moontribe 29-year kimono set that I previously may have made some waves about - this part is on the house side but trippy for the desert...

This set had many challenges. I made a great playlist for it from my entire collection, did everything except export to usb, and then my logic board failed the next day.  Bye bye playlist!

So I rebuilt, as we do.  But with limited time my rebuild was limited to the last year of music, as well as some brand new music.  On top of that, I had convinced myself that my sets at Teleport and Moontribe were at exactly the same time - 10pm to midnight.  I think I told like 30 people this too :)  And of course I made my playlists - even the old one that disappeared - based on the 10-12 time frame

Sunday morning I look at the directions email and my set is listed at 6:00-8:30pm.  I thought it had maybe been changed on me then checked my message thread and I’ve just totally made up the 10-12 thing :) 

Point is that close to summer solstice 6:00-8:30 is a daytime set into sunrise while 10-12 is night-time ascending energy - they are drastically different energetically.  

So I made another new fricken 29-Year playlist based on my music of the past year, daytime into sunset.  I decided both ahead of time, and on the dance floor, that this Moontribe needed some trippy desert house music so that was the first hour.  

You can find the second part of this set - which is more minimal/trippy/breakbeat - one track down or at this link:

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.
