There are certain nights that, when I DJ, I have absolutely no idea what I am going to spin. After all,  I approach the decks, armed to my ears with CD binders filled with all kids of genres, influences, styles, tempos and sonic weaponry; tools (if you will) for the dismantling and reassembling of the “self” through the kind of salvation that only music and dance provides. 

The following mix is a kind of "old-school-vs-nu-school"  Indo/Arab-centric vibes, that sources the sounds of a few music producing friends: Gaudi, Pierre Jean of Masaladosa, Govinda, Drum Spyder, MC Yogi, Amani of Desert Dwellers. This mix assembles itself as a spontaneously gentle combustion of tasty, unassuming groove over  the next 1:08:14 

Enjoy!

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.
