Thank you,  your mixes breath inspiration into my life. Always grateful.  

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."

From Maggie:

This is a live recording of a set I played in the forest for Tropical's  Bring Love Back to Oregon Summer Campout in June 2022.

I was filling in on late notice for a DJ who was unable to make it, so this set is 100% on the fly. 

Wiggles were in order, as the lineup was all dance music - I had a lot of fun bringing my version of wiggles to this set.

Thank you to everyone who was a part of that event, my community is my heart and it keeps it beating well... deep baselines included <3

Flow State

A voyage into the soft & quiet spaces of the beatless realm. This is a live recording of my ambient set from one of our early Floasis downtempo gatherings in 2011, located in Southern California.

At Last

DJ Maggie carefully curates the best of downtempo electronic into lush, playful and deeply replenishing sets that invite listeners on shimmering audio odysseys. Whether leading flights to the depth of the heart or the outer dimensions of the cosmos, Maggie pilots music masterfully as a multi-dimensional tool—for joy enhancement, energy boosting, community building, a safe space for retreat, a salve for helping heal pain, or a focus-enhancing medium to optimize creativity or productivity.

Evolving her own brand of intuitive sound at the legendary Southern California desert gatherings of the groundbreaking Moontribe Collective and other conscious parties and festivals, Maggie soon established a reputation for her heart-expanding sonic rides. This eventually propelled her into the path of her current collaborations with esteemed downtempo artist and producer, Bluetech (Evan Bartholomew) and their labels Behind the Sky and  Over the Moon. Her first compilation, a 2xLP entitled ‘Matters of the Heart,’ was released in June 2021 on Behind The Sky, and she began releasing through Over the Moon in October 2021.

*~A personal note from me to you~*

People tell me amazing stories about how the music has touched them, and for that I'm eternally grateful. It's the main reason I keep doing this - human connection through the universal language of music.

You'll find mixes here to stream or download that are comprised of some of my favorite downtempo tracks, ever. Some are super-mellow and ready to accompany your bedtime/meditation/ snuggle session, while others might be happy to ride along on your next road trip. I post a tracklist on every mix. For mixes that are grouped together by energy level or theme, check out my playlists.

See links below for other places to find me. I'm also a digital artist (all mix graphics are made by me) and nature photographer, for example...or message me for more info, or to share your thoughts :)
