DRAGONFLY @ STILLDREAM - SUNDAY "DANCEHALL" BEACH SET

On Nov 6th, 2013 the world music community lost a prolific contributor and friend, Cheb i Sabbah. I had the pleasure of knowing him through DJing with him, as well as hiring him for several festivals...and of course listening and dancing to him for 20 years. This morning I spontaneously put this little mix together that includes many of the artists he worked with...thank you to my dear friend Gaudi ( https://soundcloud.com/gaudi) and his brief interview with Cheb I which became the intro to this mix.

May the music serve as the flame at his altar...

R.I.P. Cheb I Sabbah, Jai Ho!

Y U QT & Bullet Tooth - Technique (Pixelated Biscuit Flip)

Live mix  recorded during my set performing alongside Desert Dwellers and Kalya Scintilla (the final stop of the Earth Heart Tour). With the dancefloor dripping with freaks, this was the sonic salvo for their bodyprayer. Trap, Bass and glitch attitudes meet the sounds of India, the Middle East and beyond....

2Melo-In the Lab

Originally recorded in rural Colombia by @Biomigrant in a visit to the community project led by maestero, Máximo Yanez, ‘Ay Que Talento’ was conceived as a motivational song for the local youth. After getting shipped to Los Angeles for a collaboration with the producer @MORILLOmusic, the song goes back to South America for a remix by Chilean producer, @AndiAndean, in a blend of tribal, house and bass music.

The song is a premiere from  @Outtallectuals’ "𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧" compilation, featuring 14 remixes from the Outtallectuals discography by many new & OG contributors.

EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW:  Little Bird by Heather Christie (Jumpsuit Records)

This live* mix represents a treasure of old-to-nu-skool trans-Arabic motifs dropped in my set at Giza, Egypt, during the auspicious winter solstice gathering of 2012. 

It was recorded during the The Great Convergence, an amazing gathering held at the pyramids of Giza. The event was conceived by Tamer El-Shakhs and  produced by the excellent production team at The Do Lab, (thank you all!!) 

Many thanks to friends Jef Stott, Nominus, Drumspyder, Zeb SpyfromCairo Visini, Paula Peek Kraus, Said Mrad and Ganga Giri for the tracks they produced that made this cut….

*Performed on Two Pioneer CDJ 2000’s and 900 Nexus mixer…warts, clipping, truncations and all..”

Enjoy!


DRAGONFLY @ Great Convergence - Egyptian Solstice

Evan Hatfield and Elisa Rose created “Veuela Vuela” together through a spurt of musical inspiration. The lyrics, sung in Spanish by Elisa, translate to “Fly, fly little bird, sunlight returns, Grow, grow little soul, Open, open my heart.” The piece of music has a haunting optimism, a sorrow-filled joy, and uplifting depth. Evan and Elisa have worked and created music together for many years and this is the first collaboration by them to be released.

Evan Hatfield is a multi-instrumentalist and music producer based in Southern California. His unique and eclectic musical style combines his training in classical Indian music, the psychedelic and funk bands he plays with, and the western classical composers he was brought up listening to. Evan’s music has been remixed by the artist Goldcap and released on the Pinkturban record label. He has performed at West Coast music festivals such as Lucidity, Oregon Eclipse 2017, Echo Park Rising, and numerous underground after-parties in the Los Angeles area. Evan's energy knows no bounds, which enables him to connect with his audience and bring them an extraordinary musical experience.

Pippi Ciez is from Birmingham, England and is undoubtedly one to watch out for on the rising electronic music scene. His style is diverse and creative. Pippi retains the original heart of tribal drum patterns, incorporates slices of Indian influences, and uses layers of digital and analog machines to infuse African instrumentation. We can expect tremendous things from Pippi in 2020. He has upcoming releases on Do Not Sit, Behrouz’s label, his own label Inward Records, and Chicago Imprint Zolotaya Orda. That’s all that can be said for now. Stay tuned!

Spirit Walk v11 Raven Mix (Video Edit)

RE-EDITED AND REMIXED FOR 2021: A very loose mix of Celtic and Scottish tunes remixed taken from my whiskey-spiked set (for the win: Tullamore Dew; 10-Year-Old Reserve) with Delhi to Dublin on St Patrick's Day - cheeky pipes and fiddles...kinda like an "Irish Spring" soap commercial meets house LOL!  What the hell... Don't take it too seriously, and chase it down with jeroboam of Guinness!

Music without a map: Showcasing travelogues from the global turntable...

Taste is trust.  DJing is trust. 
wHo: Hailing from the West Coast and serving sound as one of the most sought after Freestyle selectors in the Festival, Club and Ecstatic Dance scenes. A magic carpet ride of sound transports the dancefloor when Dragonfly throws down his full-spectrum, body-mind-soul transglobal sound experience. Think cutting-edge, polyrhythmic akashic bass meets primordial sound, elastic dreamtempo, tribal mayhem, and ecstatic bliss. 

wHAt: Each mix showcased is a unique snapshot or portrait of the dancefloor. No mixes are alike, no dancefloor is alike...and no set ever preplanned, recorded or mixed. This is raw.

hOw:  As a consummate crate-digger his days are spent down the rabbit-holes of sound, constantly discovering emerging talent and the hidden gems of sonic possibility. With an ear for the exotic and a background in movement arts, his approach is through the emotive keyhole of the psyche, while unlocking the heart of the dancefloor community. As a percussionist who’s adventured extensively throughout the near and far east, his mixes span all tempos and all genres of electronic dance music. His selections are drenched in global idioms, accented with tribal motifs, and interwoven with relentlessly intoxicating rhythm and groove.
