This year I had the glorious honour to play at both the Spring and Fall Wicked Woods Music Festivals. I played in the first slot on Thursday afternoon at the Unicorn Stage in the Spring, and the second slot at the same stage in the Fall. I belted out two sets chocked full of the vibiest tunes I could round up to get people in the mood to groove for the rest of the whole weekend!

I finished my first set with some slow house beats, and by chance used one of the same songs to start my Fall set. So I thought, why the hell wouldn't I stitch these bad boys together, fix a few sections of dodgy vinyl fuzz, and give you all the chance to enjoy them both in one vibey mix! :)

I put a lot of effort into these sets, but due to some technical difficulties with the sound, I didn't get too crazy with the turntablism, and I had to cut a few mins out of my Spring set to stitch them together. Soooo I hope you enjoy this smooth, sultry Wicked Woods Mix, from your's truly, Benanas.

Wicked Woods 2022

I started this beat one on a hike with the homie Burchill back BC (before covid) and worked on it in nature over the years. In that time it turned into its own thing, and the vocals just fit perfectly on top of the beat one day while I was messing around. 

This is basically a Single off of my upcoming EP with @DumpsterFireRecs buuuut I obviously can't distribute this with these vocals, soo this edit is just for you folks :P

If you enjoy it, I'd love if you could give it a share 🙂 Those go a long way to getting me up to level 3 🍌

Thank you all for listening, dancing, sharing, and for existing <3

"A one hour journey with starting as a beautiful, almost lo-fi aesthetic packed full of mellow vibes, hip-hop soul and mesmerizing beats - gaining momentum as it goes. A Sunday morning drive; sitting by the river, relaxing in the backyard - this mix conjures up images of comfort and relaxation in all aspects." - Alex Belfort from Module Creative Agency & Social Circle Club

I've wanted to deliver to you some of the beautiful music that I like to enjoy outside of the club setting for a long time now. I hope you can all enjoy this mix while you're out livin your lives :)

HQ Mixes

Working on my Production is a big priority for me in 2019 so here is the first one, I hope you like it!

This song has been in development for about a year, and my initial progress was lost during a computer upgrade a little while back. It took some time to see it through and polish it up, but here it is. 

It is my first public release, so please let me know what you think!

"A warm and floaty fusion of lighthearted, lowkey beats from all over the musical map - from hip hop to lo-fi house, jazz, funk and beyond. SunDaze Vol. 2 feels the same as kicking back in a comfy chair and playing some Nintendo 64 on a lazy Sunday afternoon; it’s the perfect blend of beats to ride home from a festival to." - Alex Belfort - Module Creative Agency

Truth be told I've wanted to do a bassy, grimey, street mix for a looong time but it only recently felt like the right moment. The title on this mix came first, born from a friendly photoshop from the homie @hogue-official. Almost all of the samples in here were ripped from Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas, as I wanted to thematically match the title to its contents, and it was a really fun exercise in sample digging and placement.

I hope you enjoy this foray into Halftime, Hip-Hop, Grime, Glitch, Trap, Phonk, and Bass music! And let me know if you like this vibe, cause maybe I'll do more like this 😊
