This set was a renegade at Mendocino Magic for a retreat my friends and I organized in May of 2023. Around two-thirds through the recording, we were confronted about levels 😅

Rather than turning down the master to the point of affecting the live experience, I opted to turn down the bass so sound wouldn't carry across the grounds to where other guests and staff were sleeping 🛌

I've post-processed to ensure the master level is relatively stable, but the bass & EQ is a bit unbalanced towards the end 🎛️

5/20/23 - Live from Porch Stage @ Mendocino Magic

DJ Godiva is the dance music outlet and radio persona for Paul de KT (aka https://soundcloud.com/ambiensce), whose production and broadcast deejay experience extend over ten years back. These formative experiences helped hone his curation, shape his grasp of narrative, and sharpen his lockpicking skills when more than once he shut himself out of the studio during smoke breaks. Within the last three years he has stepped into live mixing and has since spun at Burning Man, Come Together Campout, Room Service, and innumerable private funktions. While his name originated ignominiously in an illicit nude home invasion at Oliver Sacks' country estate, his game is of sterling repute. DJ Godiva’s bittersweet, creamy confection contains an encyclopedic kaleidoscope of tastes ranging between DnB, breakbeat, house, disco, techno, electro, dub, funk, rock, trip-hop, ambient, and beyond. Take a bite and feel the theobromine spike!
