DRAGONFLY - TUMBLEWEED HOUSE & PRAIRIE BLUES

An incredible festival, an incredible dance: In the late night steamy heat of the Costa Rican rainforest we Invoked the sacred through sonic alchemy and surrendered to the divine.  This set was the culmination of everything I strive for on the ecstatic dance floor - in the amorphously porous container of a festival a multi genre, tempo-twisted offering of deep groove and penetrating cadence elastically stretched the potential for expression over 108 minutes of unpredictable storytelling as each dancer exploded into the hyper-nowness of being.

(D)ancing: 
I got on my bike today and made a spontaneous mix honoring of Albert Hofmann's  magnificent moment in history, 80 years ago.
This global psychedelicatessen of elevating, knotty, percolating, pulsing and squidgy bassliness is woven with a smorgasbord of flavor. Low-end basscapades, traditional horn lines and global soundplay all meet up with  the skank and stutter of dub reggae vibes for a mesmerizing entanglement with psychedelic sound design.

ALBERT HOFMANN'S BIG DAY OUT - A PSYCHEDELIC GLOBAL DUB RIDE: AN 80TH ANNIVERSARY  MIX!

July 1, 2023

My 12th year performing at Priceless was the most fun I've had yet. Thank you to all of the planners, volunteers, and attendees that make Priceless happen. Deep gratitude to the musicians who made the music in this set, especially previous Priceless guests El Búho (@el-buho), David Last (@davidlast), and Rumpistol (@rumpistol). 

Special shout out to my forever inspirations for Forest vibes - Ganucheau (@ganucheau) and Dr. Toast (@drtoast). It still feels like everything I do with music is trying to do for others what they have done for me. 

Happy Priceless.

A wee going away mix for my favourite friendlies and for the folks far and wide who fill my heart up with your love and support.

This ones a full circle of chillers, bouncers, deep techy rippers and back around. Music that moves, rocks and inspires me ... as do you all ♡

One for the Road ... ♡

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

Never Stop Dancing is a mix series dedicated to all those who find themselves locked in the groove, time and time again. To those who find themselves eyes closed, lost in the music. To those who say "one more song" more than once. To those who live for the collective joy, community, and boundless self-expression of the dance floor. To those who never stop dancing. This mix series is focused on amplifying the sounds of DJs and producers in the Kootenays and British Columbia who honour the rich tradition of house, disco, and techno in their sets.

Never Stop Dancing 12 is a playful mix by none other than Kootenay veteran, mother, and all around wonderful human, Lady V. Lady V has been a staple of the Kootenay underground scene for many years. Her signature chugging yet driving sound consistently captivates dancers, locking them in a deep, bouncy, hypnotic groove for hours on end. Many moons ago, I stumbled across Lady V playing a set at my favourite stage in the Kootenays, and thought to myself, “this is it – this is the place.” Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Lady V, and have grown an appreciation for her humility, kindness, and passion for her tasteful, slow-house sonic journeys. Her selections always transport me back to the blissed out mornings at the open airs in Köln. Her Never Stop Dancing mix is a seamless, groove-laden journey that’ll have you wanting more. Enjoy!

THE TUMBLEDOWN BLUES (LIVE @ NORTHERN NIGHTS FESTIVAL) : 
It's 2:30am and in a fast-paced, ever changing world  I’m dropping a downtempo mix that blazes a slow, achy trail across the American West. Festooned with ghost towns, rusticating prairie graves and lonesome crows, this collection of tunes lends you doleful voices, blues guitars, twangy banjos and the stuttering ragtime of vintage pianos. Its sideshow twin is the conjoined grumble and grime of downtempo bass. The cadence does have moments of upswing; ribald bar rooms and scurrying outlaws make a momentary presence. But the coffee-meets-whisky approach makes this sonic libation yet another perfect slow-sipper as the soundtrack for your wayward soul.

Mad props to my friends Kr3ture, Dirtwire, Morillo, Scott Nice, Ryan Herr, Jesse Hendricks, DJ Taz...and all the other super talented producers in this mix:

Part 3: https://soundcloud.com/djdragonfly/tumbleweedsoul

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.
