brunch vibes

With change in the air and much anticipated wellness on the way it seemed like the right time to create a memento of this recent chapter of life... 

The music woven together in this homebrew is quite sentimental, the exact medicine I never knew I needed until it landed in my body at the right time and interestingly the right pace with most being a similar tempo and tone. 

Each of the tracks were recognised from within as a remedy long before I came to understand their meaning or relevance let alone marinade in their melodies. 

It is only now when I listen back that I come to appreciate the inner intelligence at work here and in turn start to rebuild some trust in my body and it’s ability to heal. 

As always I give thanks to the original artists, your creations have truly meant the world to me <3

“Don’t abandon yourself, not when you’re sick, not when you’re tired. Not when you’ve lost the thread, the thought or the thing you thought defined you. 

You will die many times in one life and create yourself anew. This is natural. This is a gift. I’ve died a few times now here in this world. The person I was: gone. 

Throw that older skin into the water. Give it to the sky. Step into what wants to emerge now. Nothing can hold you back when you are willing to be yourself.” ~Jeannette Encinias

Sending Gratitude to Jase and Amber for organizing and holding such sweet space~~~
The intention of this set is to help regulate our nervous system while reflecting on the past year. I encourage exploration through all the years teachings both that we want to collect and bring forth with us and the one's we want to release, making room for new growth.
Sending Love ripples our into the ethers~~~~~

Harvest Festival 2024 - Live At The Pines

The following fiction is true: Cowboy Noir, Spaghetti Westerns, Smokey Vocals, Country Blues, Lizard Kings, Storm Riders, Deep House and all...:

So "as the story goes":

"It was sometime back in 1962, when I found myself piloting a wheezing old Ford station wagon, feeling not just disoriented but positively misplaced on the dusty byways to Joshua Tree. The washboard roads shook my bones and rattled my teeth, so the accidental discovery of the sole watering hole in that barren wasteland was like stumbling upon an oasis. Despite its forlornly desiccated and saturnine exterior, the lonely backroads bar was an outpost that promised the desperate kind of salvation only dire needs can summon: Ritual libations. A stiff drink, and a moment's respite.

As I pushed through the nameless saloon’s swinging double doors, they creaked open to reveal an astonishing sight: Johnny Cash, Jim Morrison, Ennio Morricone, and Hope Sandoval, all seated together at the bar, deep in their cups. Behind the counter stood Barnett, the bartender, a sly vision of dry humor and endless spirits. They spotted my lonely silhouette and, with drunken enthusiasm, beckoned me to join their spirited symposium.
What followed was a cacophonous marathon of intemperance and debate, as we discoursed basslines and bourbon, whisky and women, UFOs and poetry, guitars and remixes, and…deep house.

The outcome of that wild and chewy night? This mix—a tribute to your culturally errant wanderings, a testament to “stepping into yes”, the uncharted paths we stumble upon…and the unexpected that ensues".

Part 4. https://soundcloud.com/djdragonfly/dragonfly-the-tumbledown-blues
Today I crafted this pretty 'n gritty downtempo journey of blues and bass meets Folktronic Americana: Music meandering like the Mississippi and swampy like the bayou,  this grimy grip of downtempo speaks from a snatch of six-string, a chatter of banjos, lonesome  voices and pondering bass lines...

Mad props to all friends/artists on this mix. Please find them, listen to them, support them.

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.
