Craig Gonzalez

artist statement:

I don’t think it’s a stretch for me to say that I really enjoy making mixes. I like challenging myself while exploring different sounds and rhythms and mixes give me a chance to play around without the added pressure of the dance floor. Context is key and in this regard, I always try to take into the consideration the environment the mixes are consumed by the listener. So I tend to make more headier mixes due to them probably being listened to at home or maybe work. I started this one out coming in a little “hot” before getting into the headier bits about a third of the way in. I did this because I wanted the momentum to carry though the headier section of the mix before bringing it slightly up again. I feel it helps the listener stay focused and engaged to the very end. - @craig-gonzalez

Interval: Craig Gonzalez and Dru Ruiz (Live at Microtones 031122)

This was an all vinyl set I did for the @kaleidoscope_toronto crew in Toronto on 07.08.22.  @marivsmvsic started the night off and set the tone for the evening and the crowd was very refreshing as they were quite open and adventurous throughout the entire ride. 

This is an all vinyl mix and with it comes the imperfections of playing a physical format and being human. 

Thanks for listening!

RADIO.D59B / THE NIGHT BEFORE #31 w/ Gilles Wasserman

Is it springtime yet? This month, we reawaken our senses with special guest David Siska from San Francisco. He’s been DJing a long time, and has a phenomenal vinyl collection that expresses his great taste. We’ve all got friends with a wide range of musical knowledge and interests, but Siska always has something to play that you either haven’t heard or haven’t heard in ages that will make your brain light up. Enjoy his selections in the second hour, and follow him on Twitch (@dytiq) to catch him working his magic on the occasional Friday eve.

I wanted to put together a mix that showcased some of the vinyl albums that sit on my shelves for home listening. Lots of favorites and - to me - all-time classics in this mix. It is something that you can listen to at home, after work, and after a long night out.

Verdant Session 23_5

Craig Gonzalez performing on the Detroit Stage at Movement Detroit 2023

Craig Gonzalez | Movement Detroit | 05.28.2023

“Aurora” is a journey into a magical forest where darkness and light intertwine in a single dance. The sounds seem to be born from the breath of nature: flickering lights in the crowns of trees, ancient wind spells and the pulse of the Earth, which leads you deeper into a mysterious trance.
Each rhythm is a step along a path lined with golden stars, each chord is the breath of the forest awakening its magic.
“Aurora” is not just music, it is a gateway to another world, where mystical harmony and the feeling of eternal awakening reigns.

«Аврора» — это путешествие в волшебный лес, где тьма и свет переплетаются в едином танце. Звуки словно рождаются из дыхания природы: мерцающие огни в кронах деревьев, древние заклинания ветра и пульс Земли, который уводит вас все глубже в таинственный транс.
Каждый ритм — это шаг по тропе, усыпанной золотыми звездами, каждый аккорд — это дыхание леса, пробуждающее его магию.
«Аврора» — это не просто музыка, это врата в другой мир, где царит мистическая гармония и ощущение вечного пробуждения.

How To Disappear Completely

Hip hop perked the interest of Detroit’s Craig Gonzalez to vinyl at a young age, and underground parties in the 1990s soon catalyzed a lifelong fascination with DJing. Inspired by versatility, his self-taught techniques have grown from weaving rhythmic layers into powerful, personal narratives.

Influenced by the Mike Huckaby’s depth and the hypnotic craft of Donato Dozzy, Gonzalez has honed his own style from a global network of like-minded artists. Family, history, and culture that surrounds electronic music have been key to his deep sensibilities, which translate seamlessly across a dance floor.
