Depth Gauge (Virtual FNF Campout 2021 - Chill Room - 2021.6.27)

This is the set that I played for Unison 8.  The original was played live at the groovy Asiento in SF's Mission district (run by some damn fine folks too).  Alas, we were not able to get quality recordings from the sets played and streamed that night... 

Also alas, I'm a great big cheater and liked this arrangement enough to play/record the same set over a midweek Twitch broadcast, albeit with a lill artistic license.  Here is the product of my blatant finaglery, for your enjoyment.

Unison was July 16th-17th, and benefited the National Domestic Violence Hotline.  24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, the National Domestic Violence Hotline provides essential tools and support to help survivors of domestic violence so they can live their lives free of abuse.

Track layering, in order of appearance:
1.  Gimmik - All Around The Lake

Unison 6 - Blue Stage - 2021.2.13

Actualized at a Bay Area underground party in 1994, Hallucid became instantly obsessed with electronic music culture and the humans that made it thrive.  Having joined the Ambient Mafia ranks in 2001, he brings a layered arrangement of rhythm and sounds (and sometimes the lushness of bleeps and bloops) to share with others in hopes they will be moved in the same way that he has.  He has played downtempo and ambient in chill rooms and campout nights hosted by the Ambient Mafia, as well as blending house, techno, and progressive styles (for the most raging bedroom-DJ parties evar).  Hallucid feels at one with the universe when making things, traveling near and far, and spending time with loved ones... and DJing music for folks like you, helps brings them all together.
