What can I say about FnF that hasn't already been said? It's always an honor to be selected to play at these truly special events, and as such I always prepare a very thoughtfully curated set based on which stage I'm playing at and where my time slot is located in the day/night. I never plan my sets from start to finish, but I do spend quite a bit of time prior to the event finding new music and creating several small playlists of music I think I may want to play based on genre. 

This year, my slot was Friday night, June 2, 2023 from 11:15pm to 12:30am right before kem, one of my long-time DJ pals & FnF OG. For my slot, I wanted to set up kem nicely by warming up the dance floor with some tech house and then ramped up the energy throughout my set with some jackin' house & bass house.

Huge thanks to Ethan, the Music Committee, the entire FnF family and Radiant Atmospheres for always creating an exquisite experience that is truly unmatched in love, vibes and production. 

Thanks for listening!

This week, another poolside slammer from Fantastic Voyage's Giancarlo (@gots2be). Perfect sunny vibes to battle the SADs from summer being over. Crank it up and lay back! ☀️🎶

Here's what Giancarlo had to say about the mix: 
"This mix was a special one for me. To be invited to play this event meant that I was able to reunite with some of my Fantastic Voyage crew and experience the magic of the weekend together. Our collective energy has been a focus on having fun. I tried to include music in this set that embodies that focus for me, as well as tunes that has influenced me in my recent production."

DJ Denise - Live At BASSgiving 2023

Hey all! :)

Sometimes you start a song with one idea in mind and then the song veers off on a totally different direction and you just go with it instead of trying to wrangle it back in. Apparently I can't get rid of the baby raver in me because that's where this song went - energetic, silly and playful. Forget about the seriousness of not only music production but the world itself. Just let go and have fun!

The "banana head" vocal sample is from some random video that I saw on my IG feed one day. Turns out it's Marilyn Monroe from the movie "The Asphalt Jungle" (1950). So there you go.

I decided this song was a little too off-the-wall to shop out to labels so opted to give it away for free. Please download & enjoy! It's a 16-bit 44.1kHz WAV file. 

Extra special thanks to Mac Vaughn at Dark Star Audio for the stellar mastering job! Check out his website for mastering services in addition to other services & resources! https://darkstaraudio.com

This song was produced exclusively by me, DJ Denise, in Ableton Live 11 from October to December 2023.

Capicornious 2024 Jan 1

On this week's RIPEcast Space Cowboy's resident don of house music Brad Robinson is up with his set from New Year's Day. 

"It was another incredible year at Breakfast of Champions that was full of sunshine and a lot of smiling faces.  My hats off the leadership team for all of the event planning and execution.  Thanks to everyone who came out to support the Space Cowboys and to shake your booties to my set.  This year I have been working hard on track edits to try to bring a little more energy to my dance floors and this set has a handful of those included.  I hope that you enjoy.  As always, mad respect to the artist and producers that keep this music flowing for us.  Every track is a gift." - Brad Robinson

Recorded at Brix 581 for Decadent Oasis's Burning Man Fundraiser. This set feels sassy and grrrrrl power. I felt empowered playing these tracks.

DJ Denise is no stranger to electronic music. Since her meteoric rise in the San Francisco underground scene in the late '90s under the guise DJ D, Denise has played countless events from Miami to Hawaii and everywhere in between, spreading her unique energy and style. Her nonchalant fader flicks and mixer tricks combined with effortless beatmatching skills captivate her trainspotting fans.

Between 2006-2013, Denise launched her music production career while concurrently running her record label, Mizumo Music. The label released over 180 EPs from local & international artists while her original songs & remixes were released on labels based out of Europe, Australia, North & South America and South Africa.

In 2013, Denise stepped back from the label and production to focus on developing her career as a healthcare professional. But in 2020, just prior to the pandemic, Denise could no longer ignore her creative side and dusted off her studio computer. This decision proved to be fruitful as she grabbed the attention of DJ Dan's record label, InStereo Recordings. She now has multiple releases on this powerhouse with more in the pipeline and has ongoing collaborations with fellow InStereo artists The Incredible Melting Man (Canada), divaDanielle, Tone Abstract aka Tony Covarrubias, and Callback Funk.

When she's not DJing or tinkering in the studio, you can find Denise working as an ER Nurse in Oakland, California. It is evident that her mission in life is to save lives, both on and off the dance floor.
