Dylan C is my favourite DJ. Such a legend with a deep musical knowledge and sensitivity to energy. I got to join him in this closing set of Ponderosa Ranch festival with my Minimoog. All improvised and played reactively to what Dylan was laying down. Thanks to The Busy Movement for having us ❤️
Enjoy! :)

Gratitude. Belonging. Collaboration. Flow state. Scintillating crowd energy. Much mud. Moist air. Fire and Water. Masculine and Feminine.

These are a few words that come to mind when I think back to my Sunday Mass set at Swing Fling, from 2-4pm on the last day of Kiwiburn 2023.

Many thanks to all the pious and devout dancers who brought their palpable energy to a very special rendition of the Sunday Mass, as well as all the nuns at Swing Fling serving pancakes, mimosas and/or spanks to those who confessed their transgressions on (or off) the paddock. Gary Boomshanker certainly got excited, letting off a burst of flames with every spank.

It turns out that sleep deprivation, a splitting headache and the sweltering heat inside Swing Fling's dome on a sunny afternoon after days of rain make a great recipe for entering flow state while DJing! I've had the best time feeding off the energy, dance moves and smiles from the crowd, playing one of my most enjoyable sets in a long time. Originally I was only supposed to play an hour but when the next DJ didn't show up I was actually stoked that I could continue tapping into flow state and weaving more songs. I ended on one song that I chose specifically as a way of showing my gratitude to Swing Fling and the larger burn community: Belong by Viken Arman. There is something truly tangible about the sense of belonging I feel with the radiant humans of Swing Fling, both at my first burn and this time, being actually part of the camp.

I got even more emotional when my friend Dani from Wānaka started drumming along to my tunes - something that I'd always dreamed of someone doing during a set. Next time we should try and get the drumming amplified and recorded, too!

In closing, I'd like to share a massive insight I had at this burn: the music I like to play (and dance to) is usually more feminine than masculine, which sustains the positive valence of a dancefloor and of the dancers, and keeps spirits uplifted. This may sound straightforward, but there's something in the simple clarity I gleaned from this that is very wholesome and satisfying.

Kia ora!

My cup remains expanded and full after Relish Festival 2025, nestled in the lush native forest of the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand.

With deepest gratitude for all the beautiful souls and the land, I had the absolute delight of sharing two hours of tunes on the Friday night in the Chill n Cherish Lounge, at the far end of the Delicious Kitchen tent - the very heart and soul of Relish.

I only hit record a few tracks into the set, but since it was all an impromptu multi-genre musical journey, I didn't feel called to make any edits or rerecord the start of my set.

Enjoy!

Much love,
David <3

P.S. Thanks to Bear Heart for this beautiful photo of the kitchen tent.

This mix is the sound of spring and the changes it brings. Holding onto the highs, the trebles, the tweaks and the whimsy. In a world that seems intent on getting smaller I cherish the flavours and colours from far and wide. As our spring rains fall they draw me outwards to a place of light and hope. Still holding on to the steady rhythms of the deep months that are almost behind us, those deeper tech beats that I’m always drawn to still remain. Memories drawn from old tracks made new .. Leonard, Lhasa, dub tempos, those 303 acid sounds that still roll around in my brain. Slower rhythms, gorgeous vocals, ups & downs and with them an awakening to the promise of all that lies ahead. Spring Equinox ’25.. bring it on ♡

♡ SPRING FEVER ♡

Friday night in the Tea Temple at the last ever New Zealand Spirit Festival North Island was such a delight - the most present, engaging and supportive crowd I've had a in a long time, turning the Tea Temple tent into quite the portal indeed! The set recording captures the journey we all went on, starting in mellow downtempo, adding a bit of a bounce pretty soon, and taking us all the way into melodic tech house at the end, with lots of vocals. 

Viel Spaß, und dankeschön! <3

Entelechy - Lantern of Ages [Full Moon Birthday Mix]
September 6 2025 2am - Cowichan Bay, Vancouver Island, Canada

We have the best friends! We were blessed to have a gathering of dear friends and soul family who we put to work all day, and then made to dance all night celebrating the one and only @Cacadora!  it was an absolute blast, I am so grateful to everyone for their generous contributions of time and energy - we have the best friends!

This is a recording of the set I played; techno, dembow, ukg, progressive, trance and breaks inspired multi-gerne mash-up - which I've been told is not "all-over-the-place" ;) 
Hope you enjoy!

Thank you again, everyone!

Axolotl

"I'm a tiny little human, and I need your touch."

Four enchanted hours inside the Moroccan Lounge at a château in France, on a rainy Monday in late September 2025. Following on from @eva-keiffenheim's gorgeous journey inside the dovecote at midnight.

A journey of the heart and soul, with many twists and turns through genres and moods I've never touched before while DJing. Ecstatic peaks and dreamy valleys. Oceanic vastness and confined rhythms. Melting, decomposing, reassembling. Constantly arriving. Stillness in motion.

Take this key. It might open the door to your heart. 🗝
