To be honest I’ve been umming and ahhing about what and how much to say about this for sometime!

Just know it’s a real special one, very dear to my heart 💛 and inspired by a search for peace 

I’ll let the music do the rest of the talking

Much much love xx

Cocoon

TELL ME HOW THE WORLD ENDS


as if we are
in the backyard lounging
on Adirondack chairs
     looking up
tell me the center of our galaxy
smells like raspberries and tastes like rum 
that somewhere beyond the dust
cloud of Sagittarius B2 a harmonica wails
  					a guitar strums
hold your doomsday baton
conduct the insects 
a cacophony of crickets
and winged instruments 
        crescendo
cue the the light show above 
a brilliant display of dynamite
all  b o o m  and  P O P
barbeque a thousand suns
the way astronauts describe outer space
as metallic, sweet-smelling
as gunpowder and burned steak
   make a metaphor 
how like summer
we whimper    out of existence 
      sizzle.        singe.      evaporate.

Burning Man | Camp KISS | Opera House | 2023

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".

DRAGONFLY - TUMBLEWEED SOUL - THE GOOD THE BAD & THE DUSTY

Just polished off and upload for you is my set from the Lapa Stage at Envision 2024.
Easing into the dancefloor a super vibey neo Cumbia Terror/Cactus & Cuervo Cuervo collab opens the set. Following is a deep organic house set of uniquely Afro/Latin rhythms threaded with the ecstatic timbre of village voices, seductive brass, percolating percussion and heartfelt melodies. The tempo cascades and falls throughout the mix...and ends with a parking spot in your melodic heart.  

I was thrilled to share billing with some of my fav house music artists,  Birds of Mind, Chaim, Henry Pope, Maz, Okuma, Rayon, Rey&Kjavik, Paralelle, Sadhu Sensi, Lorie…and many more EnJoy!!

Summertime pool parties - one of my favorite settings for playing music. This set was recorded at the tail end of one such party in 2018.

Gentle beats with a little more emotion.

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.
