"keerd is fascinated by how music influences the environment around us - how it sets the scene and tells a story that reflects the writer's emotions or experiences in unique ways. With the California Bay Area native's background in sound design, he has been perfecting his craft in electronic music for over a decade. This multi-genre producer strives to tell stories through his music and mixes, taking the listener on a kinetic yet spacious journey with his original sounds and movements. He is a founding member of Inquiry Collective where he handles all things graphic-related and manages their record label, @Inquiry-Records.
'I felt it would be appropriate to re|flect back on some of my favorite productions in the last few years, so I prepared a mostly original set. It goes through DnB, Breaks, UK Garage, and a little Ambient/Dubsteppy stuff. I haven't done many all or mostly original sets, but am very happy with how this came out. If you're new to my music, this is a perfect educational course on keerd.' "

We just completed the iconic Triloka Tour with Random Rab and Bluetech, and wanted to share one of our favorite sets with you from the past two months, recorded in Portland on Oct 15th.

It was a real pleasure traveling all over the United States with two of our longest and strongest allies in the electronic downtempo music scene!

Big thanks to Michael Divine for contributing his artwork to the tour and to this cover >> www.tenthousandvisions.com

Treavor Moontribe Live@Subtract On The Pier May 2023

After 30 years I didn't think Moontribe could reach a new peak, but we absolutely did with our 30 year anniversary Full Moon Gathering! The location was unreal, the weather perfect and the people brought so much love and dance floor energy, I was simply blown away completely! 

My annual super marathon closing set tradition continued and I gotta say, this one was my best one yet! I only made 2 mistakes which had me laughing in my head big time...guess I was just too busy paying attention to all the amazing people on the dance floor!!!! This is a deep journey into many styles and tempos, a ride from 3pm to 9pm, hot daytime into a super stormy sunset that whipped up the wind, brought a tiny bit of rain and even some lightening to really stir things up!!! Of course that happened right after I played the track "Eye Of The Storm" making things even more magical!!! WOW what an amazing time this was, I'll never forget it!!!

Treavor Moontribe Live@Moontribe30YearClosingSet

3:30pm, outdoors in a super gorgeous desert with a big view of snow capped mountains. I was under the impression that the following act was going to be a downtempo act, so I planned a set accordingly. Then during my set I found out that it wasn't going to be a chill out set after me, so I picked much of this on the fly.  

Here’s my Moontribe story and quite how much of an impact MT has had on my life, music, other collectives I’m involved with, sound systems, etc. Happy 30 year anniversary to the legendary moontribe family!

From ‘98 to about ‘09 I basically didn’t know anyone who played and made music like me… some styles of melodic/psychedelic/deep/adventurous and experimental music. Some people call it weird but to me it’s not weird. It’s home, adventure, expanding, ever-changing, creative and bliss. Before I found out about Moontribe, I basically planned on being a Northwest weirdo in my adventures with this sound.

I heard of the mystical, highly respected and “secret” Moontribe for years but didn’t ever get a chance to go…then found some MT mixes which became favorites as I related so much. Treavor Moontribe/Treavor Moontribe started releasing some of my music and asked me to come play a MT reunion.

It felt like I found my long lost soul family. MT has been one of my biggest inspirations for music, etc. because of the open minded musical perspective at the gatherings, feedback I get from Moontribers in person and online, playing certain tracks I make that only work at MT, sustainable event production, locations interacting with nature, the high potentials of happiness from community/security/health, sound system capability, I could go on and on… I can’t thank the MT family enough for the massive amount of happiness and inspiration it has spread to so many people!!! 🙏🏻
Here’s a video of my track “Cocoon Bliss” at 30 year reunion. It’s coming out on Treavor’s label Alien Breakdance.

Luke Mandala Live @ Moontribe 30 Year Anniversary

A little dj set I played with some friends for sunset.

Nui Lani Sunset Set (2023) Dj Set

Suti is a beautiful little festival held in rural Portugal in late summer. I attended their fourth edition in September 2023 and had the pleasure of following an artist I love to pieces - Zen Baboon. My set started at midnight after they'd been playing midtempo wiggly tunes, so I followed suit. As a result, this set is a tad more on the energetic side within the range of music I like to play, and I had a chance to explore some of the slow house tunes I've been collecting and listening to. It was great fun, and the crowd was very responsive.

Tracklist:
Satori - Mori Shej ft. Peia
Atman Construct - Nautillus
Aligning Minds - Weeping Willow
Lusine - Thick Of It
Supersillyus - A List of Instructions for When I'm Human
Deep Fried Dub - 100 IRE
