Live from the spectacular Desert Hearts 1 Year Anniversary at La Jolla Indian Reservation in Southern California, this set weaves deep house and tech house over 3 hours plus from 9pm to a little past midnight on the closing night of the festival.

It was an honor to play such an amazing event!  Thanks to the Desert Hearts crew - Kristoff, Mikey Lion, Lee Reynolds, Matt (Marbs), David (Porkchop), Ryan (Deep Jesus), and what must have been 100+ volunteers to make the party all that it was.  I don't think I've ever seen so much art at an event, super impressive feel and vibe around all the art pieces and deco elements present.  Everyone was buzzing about it.  Such excellent organization and signage everywhere, it was really a sight to behold.  Many people were shocked by the high level of production at this event and the only reason I wasn't is that I have been to the 2 prior Desert Hearts events and also collaborated twice with the crew as "Tropical Hearts" - so... I had a feeling about this one :)  My expectations were high, and were still exceeded...

Last I want to thank the DH crew for letting me extend my set in Treavor's absence (his flight from Canada was cancelled) rather than filling in with someone not on the lineup.  I am biased of course but I believe you made the right call :)

Before there was Soundcloud I posted my sets on a London-based electronic music discussion group called "4four."  Around February 2007 I posted a set there from a guest spot I did on Frisky Radio.  The next month I received an email from a promoter in Japan who asked if I was interested in coming there to play.  Well of course I was very interested but I don't hold my breath on such offers, knowing that one pans out for maybe every 4 that don't.

This one panned out fantastically well into a weeklong trip to Japan and the most amazing festival experience and dj experience of my life!  From the friendly people that picked me up at Narita airport to the dance marathon (most I have danced in my life) over 3 days and nights and a lineup that included Adam Beyer, Minilogue, Three, Donato Dozzy, Dave Mothersole, D-Nox, Alex Smoke, Aril Brikha, Cobblestone Jazz, Surgeon, Ryan Elliot and more, to the final days hanging out together in Tokyo, this trip was a life-changing experience.  It was right after the first Tropical campout and totally inspired me to keep doing Tropical in an outdoor setting.  Can't say enough about it, how well it was organized, how well the artists were treated, how amazing the crowd was, or the 48-cabinet Funktion One Sound system that tickled our ears.  An absolute delight!

So getting booked here both in 2007 and 2008 as a very underground - ie less famous - artist than pretty much every other international dj on the bill is one of my top life accomplishments :)  I think I am overall a much better dj in 2013 than in 2007 but this was a party I went all out in my preparation for and I would still be proud to play this set today.  

Timing-wise this was around 4am-6am Sunday morning, I think my set was actually 3am-6am but the first hour did not get recorded.  I played after Surgeon, and before Aril Brikha, through the sunrise, with the first part in darkness and last hour in light, you will feel the change in the music I'm sure :)

Enjoy this set from the most enjoyable party imaginable :)

Ben Annand Live at Labyrinth Festival, Gunma, Japan, September 16, 2007

Recorded live at Stilldream Festival in beautiful Belden Town, CA this set gets right down to business and is at the hard end of Mr. Annand's music spectrum.  

The set closed the techno stage Sunday morning 4:30-6:00am  and winds down from 132 to about 129 bpm

It was the last gig on the summer Annand Family Tour, after driving that same day from Portland to Chico with the fam, continuing solo to play at Heartbass in Nevada City 12-2, then driving the 2 hours to Belden to play this set.  

Enjoy!

I Stilldream of Techno Sometimes (live Belden, CA 8/3/14)

Live @ Desert Hearts - Ben Annand - 037

Ben Annand has always had a major influence on Desert Hearts. We first met Ben at his Tropical Campout party back in 2012, and it was actually during that party that Mikey Lion & Lee Reynolds really connected for the first time. A lot of people don't know this but some of the very first Desert Hearts parties were actually collaboration events with Ben Annand called Tropical Hearts. They were raw, unpredictable, and amazing, but most importantly they were the foundation that our community would be built upon. Ben has always been a first class DJ in every sense of the word. He can play House, he can play Techno... he can pretty much play it all. This set in particular was one of our favorite sets from him. A truly classic House set from our Desert Hearts Spring Festival, this ones sure to take you back to 10am on Saturday morning. We love Ben and we know you will too! Enjoy! <3

Cascadia Festival got started this year in just the right way! The right people, the right number of people, great diversity of music and art and activities. Everything ran smoothly, you could tell it was very well-organized on all levels. 

Thanks to Michael Manahan for bringing me up for this great event, and to Ramiro Gutierrez for blessing me with 2 hours to play this set for the Uniting Souls River Stage Showcase!

It's been a while since my set post, please favorite if you like it, comment if you want a track id, and share as you feel moved to!  Much Love <3

Thank you to The BPM Festival and Listed Productions for bringing me to Playa del Carmen, Mexico for another amazing experience!

Recorded 11pm-12am at the The BPM Festival: Listed Presents PLAY, idea was to keep things deep but also bring it up a notch as the dance floor is steadily growing during this time -you should feel that transition. 

Being the first major party of the New Year I like to bring all new music, not all just released, but music I have never played before anyway, so other the the opening track and a couple towards the end everything was new to me.

La Santanera is one of my favorite venues for its sheltered roof but open sides, affording protection from the elements with beautiful views and the cooling ocean breeze.

The party had just the perfect amount of people this year, and such a fun crowd to play for too! Sandwiched between friends Andy Warren and Mikey Lion & Porkchop in the lineup, really couldn't ask for more :)

Was really feeling the sound system too! 

<3 THANK YOU Gunita Nagpaul ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Summer Tour Mix Release #1 recorded live Saturday, July 29 at Long Beach Love Festival!

I am spoiled happy Anton recorded this as I had to run to make my set with all the traffic coming in, did not have time to catch my breath ket alone set my recorder up.

For coming in on the run like that I am really happy with this mix! 

Starting and ending on the deep house tip with tech-house in the middle, hope you enjoy the flow and music as I have been in my car the last couple days :)

Having a great crowd of party people on the dance floor is always a big help, this was a super vibing daytime summer fest to say the least.

It fell right in the middle of our summer tour, we had already driven from LA to Vancouver and back, spending a couple weeks in LA then off to Oregon Eclipse, and Canada once more!

Thanks Anton and Subtract Music for having me, it was a blast!

At long last, my first-ever downtempo set, created for Jessica Annand’s yoga class at Oregon Eclipse 2017 Global Gathering August 22, 2017

Infinite thanks to Symbiosis Gathering for the opportunity, and the artists below for creating the music I wove together with intention of coming out of darkness post-Eclipse at the spectacular Oregon Eclipse Global Gathering Aug 2017 :)

Special dedication to @HellyLarson who passed 5 days before this set was played and who produced so many of my favorite tracks including my wife's favorite - Wide Road - which appears here as track number 10.

1  Tibetan Sound Bowls - @KaruneshOfficial
2  Diving Dancer (Sofa Session Deep Mix) - @Klartraum	
3  Seasons Change - @KevinYost
4  Don't Mind Me - @Sinan-Kaya	
5  Eyes Of Gold - @KevinYost, @Guy Monk	
6  Lavender Mist (@Luna-City-Express Downbeat Remix) - @MartinezOfficial
7  Ornithine - @StephenJKroosOfficial
8  Swordfish - LunchBox	
9  Interlude - @Microstar-Music-Germany
10 Wide Road - @HellyLarson	
11 Space Time Delta - @NadjaLind	

This set was played the morning after the eclipse,  providing an uplifting soundscape specifically to Jessica Annand's yoga class, great for your yoga practice or any time you need your music to chill you out a bit.  

Musically this mix is a blend of ambient and downtempo, maybe some would call parts of it house lol but it does peak out at 100bpm so definitely completely different from anything I have released before

If you are a yoga teacher note that there is a bonus 15 minutes of chimes for savasana at the end

There were some technical issues with the live recording so this is a redo mixed in my home studio on 2 CDJ2000s on March 6, 2018

I am excited to begin releasing more studio mixes now that I work full-time from home, please stay tuned!

I'm also on tour this Spring!  Please check my Artist page for tour dates:

Ben Annand live at Burning Man 2018 - Electric Oasis - BRC 8/30/18

What did we do before Soundcloud existed?  Well we started with mixtapes, then moved to mix cds for a while.  Things started going digital around 2005/2006, and there was a gap before Soundcloud was founded in 2007 and of course took some time to become standard for djs posting live sets.  

In that little interim we had a bulletin boards called 4Four.  It was here that my mix post of a set I did for Frisky Radio in early 2007 caught the attention of Labyrinth Festival in Japan, and I was asked to play this exceptionally good event for the first time in September 2007.  It was the top dj experience of my life!  Maybe the top dance experience too, I really represented out there. 

I was honored to be asked back in 2008.  Things were a little different with the weather very wet; this was the last year at the Gunma location.  As well, I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed a day or 2 before flying and I was a mess.  I did pull it together for this set, though I will say it was not easy!

This is a unique set due to timing, around the same time music availability was transitioning from vinyl to digital, there corresponded an explosion of music in a previously neglected genre, minimal techno.  For me, the minimal revolution went way too far, and often wasn’t groovy enough for me, but there was a sweet spot of funky, trippy minimal music which I explore in this set from 2008.

I too, was transitioning from vinyl to digital at this time, and that showed in my mixing setup, which was 2 technics turntables, a first-generation serato interface, and my mac powerbook.  A few years later when my laptop died, I bought and switched over to CJ2000s.

Labyrinth is one of the top underground festivals in the world, it sells out of 2000 tickets in one day every year.  It was the kind of party famous djs made plans to attend even if they weren’t playing that year, and you know that’s rare!  The experience re-set the bar for outdoor parties for me, and has been an inspiration for Tropical, though on a smaller scale, ever since.  If you ever get the opportunity to go, take it!

Live at Labyrinth Festival

Ben Annand Labyrinth Festival Japan 2008 (part 2)

2018 was my first Burn in 11 years and it was so great to be back!  A lot has changed since my very first in 1999 yet a lot stays the same...

For example, on my last trip to BRC in 2007 the best daytime party on the Playa was called the Deep End and in 2018 it was called DISTRIKT - but guess what?  Same party 🙂

Playing this daytime set on Saturday on the huge DISTRIKT system 
I couldn’t help but have fun, and danced straight through Aaron Jacob’s birthday set after.  People really were having way too much fun here, and it was great to participate in that!

Musically this is a deep house set which stays groovy and funky in the daytime heat, notching up energy gradually but staying appropriate to the time.  For my other sets, including Burning Man at night this year, please follow me over to @ben-annand

We decided to up the ante and are doing a 2 room party and brought DJ T (Get Physical's boss man from Berlin)and Dubspeeka (of Drumcode and Last Night On Earth from Bristol UK)! Rounding thangs out will be local legend Rob Noble and our own mischievous miscreants Night Train and Rhines. Come help us shake the foundations of Monkey Loft to it's core on the dancefloors.

Innerflight Podcast 109: Ben Annand Live At Cascadia 2019

An absolute dream of a party with 48 hours of house and techno on Funktion One Sound in a beautiful forest setting!  The best Tropical party yet!  Many thanks to Desert Hearts crew for working together with us on this collaboration <3

Recorded between 12:30 and 2:00am on Saturday night, right in the sweet spot but there were many many sweet spots at this event and absolutely every dj played to a great crowd.  

I took things deeper, back and forth between lighter and trippier for this one.  Adnan's set last year showed that you could go deep with the crowd at that time and get great response so I paid attention to that, knowing we had lots of banging music in the night and wanting to break that up a bit.  

One of the top dj experiences of my life, I was totally comfortable here and finally found the perfect balance between my need to be technically on point with my desire to let loose and have fun!  It was so much fun!  I could go on and on but I won't.  

Enjoy the music!  <3 <3 <3

An absolutely amazing event in it's 9th year, you can tell Esthetic Evolution is a muture festival by the sheer number of things going on there.  3 sound domes operating only at night and into the sunrise:  one low-tempo, one chill In the center), and one 4/4.  I played in the 4/4 of course!  During the day music is handled by different sound camps while the main systems rest - I think there were 4 of them.  In the chill dome during the day there was an awesome dance workshop which was really great and different.  

Other highlights were a huge glowing dinosaur (Brontosaurus?) roaming over to the techno dome and practically getting his head inside, flame controllers operable from behind the dj booth (you can see the torches on the sides the dome) and the 1500 fun people who we shared space with us there.  

One of my favorite events I've played at, I think you will like this bumping TECHNO adventure :)  Thanks much to Devin for bringing me, I know you love techno so this set was for you!  And thanks to everyone else who helped put this together, I know it's a huge amount of people working together to make something special like this happen!  Mission accomplished!

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.
