Amidst her busiest summer yet and coming off releases from Desert Hearts and Ferris Wheel Recordings, Vancouver's Sivz's made her Main Stage debut this year, it was a bass-heavy, vocal-laden, tech house romp.

Ben Silver – In The Pocket – Vol. 1
Radio broadcast recorded 3/20/25
Episode 80

I've been hosting a radio show on WSUM 91.7 FM, the student-run station based in Madison, Wisconsin, since May of 2018—but I haven’t posted any recordings until now.  This is something a little different from anything I have put up in the past so I thought I would share. Stay tuned for upcoming volumes....

Every Thursday night at 8 PM Central Time, I DJ live from the WSUM studio. As a UW Madison alumni, it’s great to stay connected with the school. I try to capture a different vibe each week, often pulling in old tracks I haven’t heard in a while—not just focusing on the latest releases. Everything is done live and on the fly, based on whatever I’m feeling.

This isn’t a polished mix or an edited radio set. I talk a few times during the hour to let listeners know what’s playing. I figured I would keep it raw, even if not perfect.

Ben Silver – In The Pocket – Vol. 2
Radio broadcast recorded 3/27/25
Episode 81

Volume 2 is here, this time I took it a bit deeper.  A mix of tracks I might play earlier in a set, a few that I would use to keep the dancefloor going, and a touch of the spacy, introspective type tracks I love to play late.

Gavin Hardkiss DJ Set | Shambhala '25 Living Room Stage

Through adversity, we find strength. This year was not without its challenges but it was without a doubt the most wonderful opportunity for growth I have ever had the good fortune to experience. Life is a gift and the human connections we make every day are all that will matter in the end. 

This set for me is a celebration of life and newfound inspiration, I sincerely hope you find joy in listening to it. Thank you to all of the incredible artists who continue to inspire me every day. As Matthew Caws said "the weight is a gift". 

I hope this finds you all happy, healthy and loved.

Eternal gratitude and love to DJ Dane, my brother Dane, Ed, Carol, Jenny, Seth & the DSS crew, Seth and Camp Bisous for hosting us and of course the Axolotl crew for hosting this morning on their beautiful art car. And of course my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who joined us for this wonderful morning and made it a magical moment in time I will never forget.
