I never get tired of listening to this set.

I stumbled upon this set when it was played in the Chillout zone + Chanel. It fully took me away to placed I've never been.. what a set!!

Mister Badd Ass. This is Adrian. Amazing as always

YES! What a perfect track for near the end of a set!

What is originality in music anymore? It's something I've struggled with as a producer and DJ for much of the past 10 years. As a producer I've pretty much given up on sounding original, but as a DJ I've always tried to find music that sounds original or at least attempts to do so. When it comes to dance floor music I've found it nearly impossible to find music that truly has an original sound to it, but I've been finding all sorts of abstract and eclectic Electronica and random tracks here and there that to me really feel like they're doing something different or going Against The Grain if you will....

When two of the worlds best electronica/downtempo producers and DJs, Bluetech and Dj Maggie respectively asked me to create a set for their streaming show Holotropic Happy Hour I knew this was the perfect opportunity to finally put together a set of these tracks! I hope you enjoy the journey!

Treavor Moontribe - Against The Grain

Next up in our immersed go deeper mix series, where we ask artist to take us on an intimate journey to self through sound: Desert Dwellers!

Notes from the Creator:
"We don’t often get to play the more “Down Temple” side of our catalog in our sets, so we really enjoyed making a unique and lush set that focuses on these chilled out gems Spanning the past 15 years of production, this set seamlessly combines DD classics  as well as some newer offerings like our remix for Polish Ambassador. We hope it brings you much peace and comfort in your body and mind."

Holotropic Happy Hour - Winter Solstice DJ Mix

I got on my bike today and made a spontaneous mix honoring of Albert Hofmann's  magnificent moment in history, 80 years ago so (L)et's (S)tart(D)ancing!
This global psychedelicatessen of elevating, knotty, percolating, pulsing and squidgy bassliness is woven with a smorgasbord of flavor. Low-end basscapades, traditional horn lines and global soundplay all meet up with  the skank and stutter of dub reggae vibes while they mesmerizingly entangle with psychedelic sound design.

dela Moon - live @ Boom Festival 2018 (Chillout Gardens - day 6)

A reunion that was long overdue took place July 21st, 2019 in Downtown LA at Moontribe Sunday Vibe. It was such a sweet event bringing together the DJs from the first wave of Moontribe events in the 90s and many old school friends and family! It was one for the record books for sure! 

My set was early on coming out of pure beat less ambient music and building up to a more tech/house tempo. My goal here was a welcoming set as people were just arriving and socially connecting. I started off very slow and tribal, with a little push on the tempo each track so it didn't take too long to get groovy, but also I never wanted the set to be too heated. It was a challenging set, but I feel very satisfied with how it turned out. I hope you enjoy it too!!! 

Track List:
