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!

(massive thanks to my friends Gaudi, Masaladosa, Zeb, Desert Dwellers, Jef Stott, Alum Khan, David Starfire, Sol Rising, Drum Spyder, Dum Dum Project for the tunes on this...)

AUSTERO - Rise n shine

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

New tune from my upcoming EP Ive been twiddling with for a few months.  As we are all mostly hunkered down during these transitional times Ive decided to offer this tune as a free download to show appreciation for the 5000 followers and to show appreciation to all those honorable truth seeking bass heads.

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.
