Maxa Art Car - Dia de los Muertos

In preparing for Sun Worship, Citrus Age drops his set from the March '23 Reflect party at the High Dive. It's deep, somewhat tech-y, and a total ride. Get in, we're going places!

Citrus Age's Twilight Vibration

Phonobar is the room in San Francisco that celebrates vinyl above all else. A beautiful and thoughtfully put together booth, great monitoring, and a classic ARS mixer. I've gotten to know Chuck this year through Mark Slee and Gunita, and it's always been a dream of mine to have the opportunity to play there. This was a Thursday evening in April 2023, and I'm incredibly grateful to the crew that came out to dance and enjoy the experience together. Thanks to Phonobar crew for letting us run late and carry the energy through what ended up being 6 hours of vinyl.

This is a reflection of where I've been digging the past few months, and evolving sound. Also a reflection of lots of practice with vinyl, but not perfect! Listening back to it, I really enjoy the flow - hope you do too! Some new, some old, many dear friends musical efforts represented, and a broad spectrum of emotion.

I put the tracklist in the comments as it was too long to fit here.

A particularly special thanks to the artists and friends who made this music, contributed to my perspective, gifted records, exchanged ideas, and encouraged me along the way. Not exhaustive, but an effort vis a vis these particular selections: John Dill, Nico Stojan, Vivian Wang, Caleesi, Holmar Filipsson, Benjamin Alexander, Jason Swamy, Mia Maestro, Adar Zango, Gunita, Anthony Naples, Team Philomena, Jay Prouty, Jeremy Loucas, Ashu Desai, Eric Wahlforss, Atish, Mark Slee

The Virtues Of Loss is the result of profound revelations, which came along a self-healing journey into the dark.  Bringing it to life became a creative guide that helped us find a spark of light to navigate the path in trust once again. And so, we felt inspired to translate all the wisdom we learned into 5 hours of musical landscapes to spread that brightness to all those wounded hearts ready to embrace healing.   

We are ALL letting go of someone, something, or somewhere … most of the time, even letting go of an identity within ourselves. 

Let’s inspire each other by sharing our gifts as we navigate high tides. Raising the sail is not a one man’s job; we are in this together.  

Hoping you help us spread the spark.   Leave a little comment where it resonates. 

Much love.  

Zohar & Unders





An abundance of gratitude to Zohar, Pati, Sawyer, Jonnie, Gary, Liz, Mathilde, Tati, Ricardo, Margot, Lars, Burgs, Mooji, and many of my dear friends & extended family for being such a supportive inspiration through this profound journey these past 2 months. Big thanks to all the talented musicians and producers throughout this compilation, and a special thanks to Vinny for his artistic visions on this one.

down unders ft. zohar | the virtues of loss |

When the Temple burns, we bury a part of ourselves. 

We remember. We cry. We smile. And we move forward. 

A beautiful moment of eternity. Something intimate. Sometimes hard. Somehow sacred.

Playing on the Robot Heart bus after the Temple Burn has become an annual tradition for me.  It's a very special moment emotionally.  But this one was the toughest.  For many reasons...

But in the end, this closing opened the door to something bigger.

I am forever grateful for what happened afterward. Family for life. Unforgettable. All love.

As torrential rain made it clear we wouldn’t get to dance outside beside the creek on Saturday afternoon, it reminded me that sometimes, when we make plans, god laughs.

Luckily, there was a backup plan for us all to turn the cabin’s basement into a sweat lodge of good times.  

Here are 90 minutes of throwback jams that are designed to work in a wide variety of settings.  

Thanks to the Pynk team for the rain contingency and the vibes!

HOLOSOUND @ PYNK VINTAGE - AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING (THROWBACK SET)

It's one a.m. on Friday night, and I'm sitting on the floor in a beautiful massive teepee at Mycelium Festival. A fire warms the center of the space, and friends are circled around, lying on blankets and pillows as the Serendipity Tea Lounge serves tea, and it's such a viiiiibe.

I have no idea where we are going to go. I don't know what I'm going to play. I close my eyes and let the music take us. 

With love, Dersu

I showed up with no expectations and was filled. It’s hard to explain Burning Man… so much energy and passion expended. Warming by the fireflies, laughing out loud, disco rollerskating, a kiss in the cloud.
