if there's music in the afterlife it is this groove

tanx for including our track mate....may the force be with you ;)

I didn't want it to end... But Mangione touched my heart!

I was booked for two sets for HH009 and neither recordings worked.  Since I didn't sleep Friday night, I hopped on the decks at 9am and put this together off the cuff for the morning brunch making crew (it was appreciated by some but not by those who were still trying to sleep:)  It's a mix of some deep house tracks, old school jams, house, funk, etc.  Best listed to for Saturday or Sunday brunch or unwinding after a long day.  Enjoy!

HH009 Downtempo Morning Set.WAV

This 2.22.2014 set was 1-2:30, following a tastefully reserved set from Joel Conway, leading up to Jeno.  Really nice warehouse spot with a lush vibe.  We we were going for tech house badassery with a generally rising arch.  We're pretty stoked on it, mixed a lotta old with new, heady with bumpy, oontz with bloOp.   It makes us poundy bounce and thought you might like these flavors.

Dao & Pwny - Live at Space

An upbeat mix that I've been wanting to do for a while. A journey consisting mostly of tech-house with some space-funk and tech to sooth the mind and ears.

Micron - Undertow

I had the honor and pleasure of playing the main stage on Friday night at FnF's 25th annual campout. The mesmerizing light show provided an epic immersion into some of my favorite tech house and progressive tracks. I hope you all have as much fun with this as I did playing it.

2023 Fall Classic Pool

2023 FnF Fall Classic Pool

Pwny and I spent a good deal of attention to the music selection for our late morning closing set at FnF. We're pretty stoked how it turned out! Straight Swamp Music in all its Deep hues. We were feeling pretty sunshine playful and took it all over the place in search of collecting a bagful of sweat & tears. It goes from badass to silly to tribal to morning epic vibes; we think with a cohesive psychedelic flavor.

We were even able to sneak in our first bona fide track, Swamp Age, at 1:00:00!

Opening quote from Ethan Miller setting it off proper.

Dedicated to my mother, Kathryn Weed, who finally shared a sacred Sunday morning in our 'temple'. My first memory, a music memory, was with my Ma listening to Chuck Mangione "Feels So Good". She remembers it well too, because I apparently said, "Ma, Feeling good". This warm vibe has guided my whole musical life.

Rabbits Abyss Of Kuriosity: Jackie & Jesse

Sunday Pwnage part 3:
9am-Noon. A fun sunny romp in a field of friends on a sacred sunday in the woods. We teased a spectrum of genres out of each other and served the crowd curveballs while they served champagne and bacon. We used a lot of vocal sample easter eggs to giggle at upon relistens and had a great time pulling off the final 3+ hours of spinning for sunday smiles (we'd just wrapped up a 3 hour pre-dawn set at FRC campout up the road from Sanctuary 6). We had an absolute blast and thank Strategik for making magic!

Champs and Bacon

Dao & Pwny Show - Champs and Bacon - Sunday Pwnage 3 - Live at Sanctuary 6

Ok, you're the DJ(s)...8:45am...the morning sun is shining, and a field of friends and family are reveling in the afterglow of a three hour dawn set by Thugfucker.  What do you play?  How do you follow that?  These are questions Dao & I were honored and privileged to answer more than hypothetically at the FnF summer campout 2012, only a few days ago.  We are proud to have spent  time and energy crafting this set.  (This is a re-creation, polished and pretty for you ;)  We wore kimonos.  We had a blast.  We're grateful and amazed and we're still glowing!  Kimono-a-go-go 4eva. ;-)  (please see timed comments for ALL track ID's, and support the artists!!)

Dao & Pwny - Morning with Friends & Family (1x1 tag)

“So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest. Saturday, FnF poolside 12:45, 2019. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.” -Quint from Jaws. The sharks swam vigorously, the ravers ignored them, apparently good vibes repel sharks. Dao and PWNY sent their sexy shark house through human and marine cartilage alike. UV rays pounded through the ozone on FnF pool inhabitants and after a taxing Friday night many looked to the soundwaves for healing and invigoration. The music funked and jived through the mid 120 bpms. Floaties spontaneously combusted and the beat carried the party through the + 90° hotness. Some shopped at the clothing swap, some enjoyed massages, everyone heard the duo hold the afternoon. Dao and PWNY have toured the lower 48 for 10 years now, mostly via rideshare and short bus. Their head and booty bobbing beats have become an FnF staple. Whether opening, closing, in the day or at night, everyone eats their green egg breaks and hambone house. They brought the dome over the pool down with their finishing track “baby shark dance.” Hundreds of closeted opears, nannies and dad joke offenders came out of the woodwork with that family friendly heater. As always Dao and PWNY meant business Saturday, as Quint says best “I’m not talkin’ about pleasure boatin’ or daily sailin’, I’m talkin’ about workin’ for a livin’, I’m talking about sharkin’!” ... Raver Tip #80: Apparently good vibes repel sharks.

Dao & Pwny - FnF Poolside 2019

Been spinning a long time, 29 years, more than half my life.  Have spun nearly every genre, have vacillated between taking this very seriously and not giving a fuck.  It is more than a hobby, this is integrating an artistic conversation spanning the globe and it is my passion.  This particular conversation we’ve been having in the Deep (house/tech/breaks) arena is particularly dope, and I’m excited to be a participant by spinning & producing that which moves my ass and soul, and raises my hands to the sky.  If asked, I'll say I spin Swamp music... humid Deep House/Breaks/Tech with vivid palates. &#13;
&#13;
Mixing is my zen-state.  It isn’t an intentional act as much as it is communion with sound, with the muse.  I don’t plan Sets.  My mantra is the ‘right song at the right time’, and you’re never going to answer that question until you’re in the moment.  I kicked the vinyl habit in ‘05, but I still use CDJs..  You can hear the excitement in a live-mixed set, when there’s no net, when the DJ is a sneeze away from a trainwreck.  I like a slippery beat or two, to flash your cards, to show this is real, this is Now, and we’re deep in it, together.  I also only like to mix deep, 3 mins or so.  It isn’t deep music unless you mix it deep, over your head in sounds, dancing with them as if Tai Chi, rolling them into another as if an Akido master.  The tracks dictate how they want to be mixed, the moment dictates what energy wants to emerge next; a DJ isn’t there to be intentional, we’re supposed to be receptive.  You can hear the difference.&#13;
