How am I just finding this mix of yours?!? LOVE IT!!

Thanks for reposting this and reminding us just how perfect this whole mix is:) I listen to this mix often. Great work!!!

your sending messages to the mothership here arent you ;)

We've been wanting to play a dope sexy pool party for a long time now.  This came together on a humid 95 degree day at the Cadillac of campouts.  The vibe we were going for was sweaty, sexy, dirty, party music; but we were reaching deep into our crates to pull out all the songs of years past that we've wanted to hear in a bassy, half-naked, poolside setting.  So forgive us if you've heard some of these in the past, but we were particularly stoked on how the mixing worked out. 

So kick back, turn up the heat, put on that sexy number you've been waiting to show off, and put THIS in your pina colada.

Poolside - FnF 2013 - Dao & Pwny

This sculpted studio set was made for maximum relistenability.  From deep & sexy broken beats through cerebral tech through ecstatic super house, this set is trying to capture the energy of last half of 2013 and the optimism for 2014.  Though most of it came together in one take, we spent weeks replacing some tracks & mixes.  As a result, we can happily say this is one of the best listening pieces we've done in terms of depth, mixing, & harmonics.  And bonus... y'know, you can dance to it :D

Waves - Dao & Pwny

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

Speak Softly But - Dao & Pwny

LoE: 05 - Flight of the Nautilus

Sunset and Rainbows in your kiss as you return to camp; you just finished working so hard like a soldier. Oh! But! Ethan Miller is on the mic for opening ceremony! Good music starts! You rock down to electric avenue to find your friends! You soon get distracted by the chosen two frogs in socks performing in the metro area... No, Wait, What?!... Shit, you realize you're tripping way too hard. You are lost in the party. You twist around so many people talking and motoring around. As you run, no, as I ran between moments of enthusiasm and moments of obsession. Afterall, you can only ran past tense, someone wise told you that once... Where did the time go? Were you in control? You may have made a show with those, um, cats and hats? What was that all about anyway? Where's your phone? Can someone call me, please? Where'd Karma Patrol go with those starburst? Well... Fuck that then, we're on a raw mission to lost and found through acid neverland, or was this just a plastic dream? It feels like you've been wandering all day, but then you take a shy look at the lights. Omg, the lights!!! Could heaven ever be like this? 

We got your friendly vibes, chopped up vocals, feelings of badassery, swampy breaks, flirts with trance, happy peaks, dark troughs, deep mixes, and happy little accidents throughout your journey. But don't worry, lover, you have music in your eyes. You'll find us in the end, on the inside and the outside, because wir sind kinder :)

Live at Fall Classic 2023

Some of my favorite tracks mixed in a short and sweet demo.

Friends and Family XX Deep Melodic House Demo

Live set from FnF Campout XXI in the dark at 3am: We were beyond stoked to play under the Radiant Atmosphere lights on Know:Audio's full rig. Our intentions for the set were Badass-tech, Swampy curveballs, & evocative energies. We were trying to summon primal energies and ancient archetypes. For years we've wanted to use Ministry's "So What" in a set and we basically framed this whole energy upon that anchor/pivot. We can't stop dancing to these tracks and hope you enjoy 'em as well!

3am Invocations - Dao & Pwny - Live at FnF XXI 2017

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)

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;
