Bim Tim - Live @ The Deep Down - 1-15-22

Closing set on Friday night of an incredible LoveFest, 2022 in Beckwourth, CA. I started it dark and dirty, as I do, and it got lighter and groovier as it went on. There was a lot of love and joy on the dance floor when this was made...I hope the beats both bring back an incredible memory for those who where there, and for those who weren't, well...I hope you can get down to it now and in the future. 

Special thanks to DJ RAZL, who played an incredible set preceding me, and his beloved Pixie, for throwing such a spectacular and soulful gathering of some of the most phenomenally beautiful human beings in existence.

Music And Love

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

Out Of The Tunnel

This set was played at an intimate gathering in Tahoe to celebrate bringing in the new year.  For me this was an opportunity to reflect on 2022 and all the learning opportunities it presented.  The sculpture pictured for this set is called Drishti.  I was the lead fabricator for this stunning piece of artwork on the playa this year.  Drishti can best be summarized as the intersection of where your outer and inner gaze meet.  There are so many metaphors and interpretations for this in your personal life.  For me this is an opportunity to focus on being present with those I love most.  In 2023 I am focusing on inviting in more love and healing and learning how to be instead of always do.   This set is a collection of tracks that embodies this intention.  I hope it makes you smile and wiggle with an open heart in 2023.

Songs For Modern Lovers, Volume Two

Inward Healing

Dedicated to a dear friend of mine, this set was such an excellent chance to reconnect with my favourite organic house, playa tech, and electronic moody music with very little vocals. Huge thanks to the team at Camp Querencia who reached out to me to play in their lounge area at our regional Burning Man event, Burn in the Forest, this year. It was an honour to be able to provide a soundtrack to your consensual and sexy space.

Track list coming soon!

Recorded live on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Syilx and Nłeʔkepmx peoples, with respect and deep gratitude to these lands and to the Black, Latinx, and queer roots of house and electronic music.
