Time to stand on the tables and go full tribal!!

wow miss you see you on dancefloor at zonee 

Join me on this road as I prep for one of the biggest moments of my life.  Top surgery is 2 weeks away and I feel like this is the best way I could put my emotions into a sonic journey for others to enjoy and get a glimpse into my soul. Big thanks to everyone that helped me meet my GoFundMe goal, without the support of my dear friends I would not be at this stage in my life, in my chrysalis. 

From the bottom of my <3 I thank you

THIS IS ME VOL 23 SUMMERTIME NITETIME EDITION

Gig wise, one of my highlights of the year, so far, was playing the annual Connect Festival that happened at Besant Campground in Saskatchewan.  I met some people for the 1st time but saw tons of people who I grew up with in the scene while I lived in Saskatoon.

Many of you may not know but my style was were more varied back in the day.  So, in this set, there are plenty of current house and tech tracks but also Lots of classic trance that used to be a major element of what I used to play.

In 1996, a crew of us from Saskatoon rented a van and trekked to Toronto for the World Electronic Music Festival - WEMF 11.  (The year after the Tornado WEMF).
I was flying on a pill and heard Jon The Dentist perform.  One of the tracks he played was "Global Phases".  It was full on, bouncy, acid fuelled and it was incredibly uplifting and cheesy.... I actually shed a tear.... and then hugged everyone in sight.
I bought it immediately and played it at our PPM "Temple" party with Platipus Records Crew (Union Jack, Art Of Trance, Quietman) and Electric Skychurch. )

Speaking of cheese... The Matt Darey mix of Westbam's "Wizards Of The Sonic" was one of my signature tracks and rave anthem.  It may sound dated for today's audience but for many mid 90s Western Canadian ravers, it carries an overwhelming wealth of memories.

On a Wednesday in 1992, I was listening to the New House Culture show on CFCR radio.  My mentors Kevin K and Techno Tom gave me a shout out on the show saying "You'll like this one!"  My draw dropped.  To this day, the Jam & Spoon remix of Age Of Love is my all time favourite trance track.  There's a strong chance it may be my all time favourite DANCE track.

I. FREAKING. LOVE. BILLY KENNY. & . RENE AMESZ.
Full stop.

Enough of me babbling.  Hope you like this one.  It may not be for everyone but this one is dedicated the 90s Western Canadian ravers, Saskatoon Crew especially.  You are Family.
