this song was one of the best all weekend!

What a night! I started playing during the 'Burn' festivities, but everyone came steaming in quite early after that and things were heaving by 11pm! A huge shoutout to all the Bootti Frutti crew who poured their endless, smiling energy into making the sound camp an amazing place to hang out.

Bit of a strange assortment of genres here - started out in funk/disco and wound up in tribal/latin/ecstatic dance/banger territory. Hope you enjoy!

Bootti Fruitti 2022 Burn in the Forest Set Live Recording

Lower your inhibitions for this particular excursion. Come away with DV to another land... where the heat is thick, where the fauna is lush, where the drums are abundant and gyrations are made with vigor.  Anticipate: organic tribal house, global tech, ethnic bass, diversity in tempo.  The only constant here is surprise - and palpable delight.

Dulce Vita - Kaleidoscope of Wanderlust

As 2022 comes to a close, I have to confess that I feel the most positive and excited about the future than I've felt in...well, maybe ever. It was one of the most challenging years of my life, but I feel like I've come out on the other side. I don't just see the light at the end of the tunnel, I feel like I'm coming out of the tunnel itself, ready to meet 2023 with excitement and a lot of enthusiasm. I thank my friends, my community, my tribe and a lot of love directed at me for all of it. 

This music reflects that sense of optimism for me. It's based more on traditional house than what I usually spin, but the songs on this mix just kind of came to me. Where I usually labor over a mix...this one just flowed. One take. Less agonizing. More flow. 

And with all that said, I wish for all of you listening a 2023 of beauty, love, growth, great sex, friendship, and community...of challenges met squarely and successfully...and of course, ridiculously great music and dancing.

Much Love,
LAZAR

The Sunday Morning Service

Hijinx At FnF Fall Classic

“So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest. Saturday, FnF poolside 12:45, 2019. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.” -Quint from Jaws. The sharks swam vigorously, the ravers ignored them, apparently good vibes repel sharks. Dao and PWNY sent their sexy shark house through human and marine cartilage alike. UV rays pounded through the ozone on FnF pool inhabitants and after a taxing Friday night many looked to the soundwaves for healing and invigoration. The music funked and jived through the mid 120 bpms. Floaties spontaneously combusted and the beat carried the party through the + 90° hotness. Some shopped at the clothing swap, some enjoyed massages, everyone heard the duo hold the afternoon. Dao and PWNY have toured the lower 48 for 10 years now, mostly via rideshare and short bus. Their head and booty bobbing beats have become an FnF staple. Whether opening, closing, in the day or at night, everyone eats their green egg breaks and hambone house. They brought the dome over the pool down with their finishing track “baby shark dance.” Hundreds of closeted opears, nannies and dad joke offenders came out of the woodwork with that family friendly heater. As always Dao and PWNY meant business Saturday, as Quint says best “I’m not talkin’ about pleasure boatin’ or daily sailin’, I’m talkin’ about workin’ for a livin’, I’m talking about sharkin’!” ... Raver Tip #80: Apparently good vibes repel sharks.
