A mix that to me is about summer and the love it brings - the quixotic love of an obsession, of a partner, of yourself, and of where you came from. As a result this mix means a lot to me, which is probably why I fussed and prodded with it for so long before releasing it (and in the meantime one of the tracks won a Grammy for Best Remix). While a lot of it strikes simply as your typical house music's praising of love, listen to the words throughout and think of what they mean to you, because I feel like there's a story in here that a lot of us can relate to.

A little breakdown in the middle featuring a poem from the inimitable Marie Metaphor Specht, as a little treat in there. Her voice is a treasure and her words can make your heart explode in a billion pieces over and over again.

A lot of re-ups of some classics in here, so if you recognize a tune or two you're probably not alone. And of course some Hip-Hop at the end because I just can't resist.

Also the image (as well as my background image for my profile) are of Forestry Pools, a key place in my raving history, taken by Ser Devlin.

for love of summer

An old demo mix I threw together about 6 years ago, covers the gamut of house music, a little bit of techno, maybe even a little bit of trance (I dunno what you'd call that Hot Since 82 remix but I'd say trance counts. Some pretty fun tunes in here including some classics (and a wild funky cover of a fantastic Stevie Wonder jam to close it off).

This represents the first of my mixcloud mixes that I'm moving over here to kind of consolidate it all together, so for those that already follow me over there, hope you enjoy it again, and for those that never checked it out, here's some fun tunes!

i googled it so i could be cool

This is one I threw together for my 40th Birthday a couple years back. Some good disco tunes, particularly liking disco that's kinda build like techno, just a funky loop but a beat or two long. Veers off ins some places towards proper Deep House, and there's a Carl Craig remix in there because if that man wants to make a Disco record he is beyond welcome.

Just came off of a fun disco set so figured I'd move this over from my Mixcloud for you lovely people to enjoy!

otherworld 2013 burn mix

"I want someone who grabs my soul and sets his art on fire!"- the scrawlings of the Effitree.
So this is a mix of pretty much what I played at Otherworld 2011 for the burn of the Effitree. The first half is the background for the fire show, and at about the 30 minute mark the Effitree went up in flames! Hope you guys enjoy. It was a pretty rad experience for me to DJ while the art project I worked on was going down in flames and all my friends were partying all around it.
Tracklist:
1. Cirez D - On/Off
2. Deadmau5 - Some Chords
3. Longwalkshortdock - Horsefly
4. Little Boots - Stuck On Repeat (Fake Blood Remix)

Dave Dirk - Longest Night

Playing "mostly house" music, though really down for any kind of fun party music. Mostly specialize around house though: House, Techno, Electro, Tech House, Disco, a little bit of Breaks, and my guilty pleasure is throwing down some hip-hop and rock. Started my club career at the epic mashup night Big Trouble at the legendary Lotus in Vancouver in 2005, and have since played all kinds of parties amongst the house, fetish, burner, and queer communities ever since!
