This is on continous Replay on my Walkman. Seriously great set!  

Uuunnggghhh coming out the gate swingin! <3

This is not a party mix, although there are celebratory moments.  This is heART opening music, with soul crushing glimpses.  This is the telling of an epic saga tale, that could not be summarized in one hour with words.  And so, I was invited to attempt with contemplative music.  Grief for a loved one who has passed on - with a ripple effect that can be felt across decades of community love.  Together, we hold space for this moment of love and loss, of memories and the clinging to of small beautiful details, of celebration for an entity that remains with us as we continue to hold close in the quiet spaces. of. our hearts. <3

Black Velveteen on the RIPEcast

I was stoked to return to Northern Nights Music Festival for my second year playing – I threw down a Friday night set at the Submerged Sessions stage for an hour of trippy vocals, rolling baselines, house, minimal, techno n' breaks. This was quite fun to hear these tracks blasting out on a proper Danley soundsystem (thanks, Jobi!!) – it's one of my fav sets I've played in awhile. Thanks to everyone who joined 💜

Torie - Live at Northern Nights: Submerged Sessions

This week we've got a banger for y'all with veteran Amber's techno set from the Unison Campout.

Here's what Amber had to say about the mix: "This set was recorded at the Unison Campout at 1am as a light rain began to fall on the dancefloor. It was glorious and welcomed. If anyone out there plays techno and streams on Twitch, drop me a line as I'd love to consider having you on my Maximal Techno stream. Go to iamthedj.com to contact me."

About Amber:
San Francisco-based Amber is an ambassador for uncompromising hard techno. Active since the 90s, Amber was a resident DJ with the woman-centered collective Sister SF, co-founded NorCal DJ and Music Production Academy, and co-hosted :CODE, a nightlife and electronic music television show and weekly at DNA Lounge.

Won´t forget U

When Marco, Ali Bar-Bar's music curator extraordinaire, reached out to me about playing their opening night party on Playa, I asked him what sound he wanted to set the tone for the week.  His reply?  "Just blow the roof off that place."

I hope you enjoy!

"Opening Night insanity" Live at Ali Bar-Bar | Burning Man 2019

This is my live recording from the October 2019 Friends and Family Fall Classic. The event was located just north of Yosemite at a lovely retreat called Spinning Wheel.

The last (and only) other time I have played at a FnF campout was in 2012 during the summer event. At the time I was still playing CDs but I had just reorganized my music by key. As such, during my set I was having a hard time locating songs and ultimately wasn't 100% happy with how my set turned out.

Fast forward 7 years and I was given the honor to play at another FnF campout. This time I knew I really wanted to not only make up for my previous set, but I understood the magnitude of the time slot:  Saturday night at 10pm just before FnF head honcho Ethan. As such, I spent a lot of time curating a particular tech house vibe to properly warm up the dance floor.

This recording is unedited aside from mastering the EQs and volume. If you listen carefully, you'll hear some "oopsie" fader flicks and tricks here and there. But hey - that's the glory of a live set! Please enjoy. I had an absolute blast that night.
