January 2025 - GINGERKAT Mix

So here we are once again with another installment of the Abstract Series_ Volume 3 but the 4th mix in the sequence just to keep you ten toes down. B. Helix and myself, Sw3rv3 decided to team up for this one and we've got something special and unique for you guys this week. It's a new year and we're approaching from a different angle just to keep things fresh. To start things off, We composed an original Electronica tune for the session titled 'Simulation Theory' which sets the stage for an abstract and multifaceted journey. Sw3rv3 starts us off with some techy vibes, working from back to front on this first section, leading with some of the heavier tracks of the 2 hour set, dropping a couple bangers and drum heavy tunes from Benny L and Soul Intent. Afterwards we fall into some aesthetics with airy electronica sounds by Inhmost. Following the break we roll into the 170 realm with various accents and energy. After the transition to Disc 2, B.Helix brings the listeners a different sound with the same abstract approach and similar style in sequencing. Utilizing various vibes, genres, and subgenres, He takes us on a ride thru laidback electronica sounds, driving tribal rhythms, spoken word, and smooth, artistic transitions between various spectrums of sound, closing the session with the airy and calm self produced track 'Velvet' (Available for free download here: https://on.soundcloud.com/kxaePkxPfNdEfqJL7 ). A truly talented artist of the craft and member of the culture. 

This two hour session came together well I think, Discs 1 and 2 compliment each other nicely, We hope you enjoy the story. As always we appreciate you taking the time to listen and sharing your feedback. Let us know what you think in the comments and give a like and a share if you're feelin' the vibe. Keep it Locked!

Rooted Frequencies - Breaks Mix

I’m finally getting around to posting this home recording of my set from last summer’s Starbelly Jam in Crawford Bay, BC. It was cut short by a force majeure—a summer electrical storm that rolled in just minutes after I started. Thankfully, this minor weather glitch had zero impact on the overall execution of a magically curated weekend featuring an epic performance by Chali 2na, followed by Mark Farina rocking the stage the following night.

This inclusive, intimate, all-ages festival has a special vibe and deep roots in the East Shore Kootenay scene. I’m grateful it has been revived after a few years on pause and hope it continues to thrive for the community.

In recent years, I’ve had the pleasure of contributing in small ways—helping with artist bookings and witnessing the evolution of lineup curation. Hosting artist friends and experiencing something so uniquely family-oriented has been incredibly rewarding. It’s all about love, appreciation, and paying it forward for the next generation. Thank you to Amanda Ruppe Holland for inviting me to play to contribute:) I am happy to finally post this as promised;)

Starbelly Jam 2024

Bear has been an influential part of the scene for over 20 years. Playing a variety of beats, Bear's main motivation and influence throughout the years has been the music and the people who love it. If it wasn't for them he wouldn't be doing this. Living to keep the vibe alive, Bear has helped Portland's dance community get down, one step at a time!
