Been kicking the idea of doing a interpolation remix of Rank 1 "Airwave" for a while now.  Decided to go for it and put my own spin on it.  Took the vocal from the 1990 freestyle record "True Love Never Dies".  Old School vibes for sure!  Enjoy :-)

The People's Banana at LIB (Sunrise Set 5-25-2024)

Hi Fam Jam!

What a delightful weekend we had closing out the near-end of summer 2024. This was my first Fam Jam and the event's 3rd anniversary. Located in the serene Santa Cruz mountains near the beautiful coast of California, USA, approximately 200 people gathered for a weekend of delicious BBQ (thanks Sharkbite!), music, and friendly faces, new and old! It was such a pleasure to be selected to perform and be present at this event. 

This is the live recording from my set on Saturday night from 10-11pm. Extra special thanks to Solkist, Denver Drake, Lowdecka & the rest of the Santa Cruz DJ Sessions crew & friends for coordinating such an intimate and lovely campout for us all to enjoy.

PS: Extra thanks to Maculate for performing his creative VJing during my set - the dancing pigeons were a huge hit throughout the weekend so I thought it only appropriate they don the artwork of my DJ mix (Photo credit to B. Miller Productions).

Thanks for listening & please enjoy!

LIVE at FnF Fall Classic 2024

The Disco Boy Mix

Warming up the dance floor on the opening night of a legendary Tropical Campout meant that I had to reach deep into the repertoire and build up the energy from a few people bouncing to a full dance floor frenzy. The weekend featured the likes of house & techno greats Oona Dahl and Sunshine Jones as well as 7 different crews joining forces to create a magical experience: Cheeze House Rekords, CUE Together, Love, Soul & House, Terrakroma, and of course Tropical.
