"This mix was made during a period of introspection, as I faced significant life changes necessitating tough decisions. Anchored by the belief that intuition is the most reliable compass, I found this notion simmering within my thoughts and emotions as I curated each track in the setlist, which is why it is called "The Heart Knows." Such pivotal moments frequently come tinged with emotional unrest. To help soothe my soul, I incorporated a selection of emotionally restorative melodies that currently resonate with me. My hope is that this mix will envelop you in a sanctuary of soothing rhythms and soulful nourishment, guiding you through your own periods of reflection."

Medicine Sound Journey | 4:44 Hours of Transformational Music

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!!

Back to You feat Housenick Housenick

DEEP MAGICK RITUAL MOVEMENT....2 hours, 46 mins of hypnotic, worldy, percussive and shamanic ékstasis ( @ Oakland Ecstatic Dance ). From its traditional slow warm-up to its conclusive grand exhale, traditional and contemporary Eastern, African, European and Asian motifs, instruments and voices weave through this serpentine mix of magical peaks and valleys.

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.
