DJ Mix

Here is an all vinyl set very similar to the vibe Z and I performed in the park at Enclave.

The jam with Z, informed by other's in the room, including Ahva and Cha Cha, as well Aloo Gobi. K's energy contributed to the day... they as well stopped by to clean the rest of their room and moved their last few items out. Ceremonial Tea, our guiding light.

An odd day... we were all in a crazy transition period... Z and Ahva were hopping on a plane later that day for a very long awaited vacation to Thailand. We invited them over for some last minute hangs before the send off. The other transition was our roommates moving out and us in process of finding new roomies. Kailey had been packing up her stuff all week and this was the big send off, the day started out with tension... Bugs in the house created an argument, which quickly escalated... there was no resolve in the conversation, instead bitterness and a rushed evacuation from K. Ahva and Z showed up after the messiness and brought some comfort back to the home. I prepared a low dose mushroom tea and offered to share, I was seeking a cozy trippy time spinning records with friends after a really busy weekend with very little leisure. 

Z and I set the intention for the jam, "Not a moment of silence", and off we went, starting in noisy ambient territory, which very much so reflected the morning energy... Then into cozy dub and more deep techno vibes. Healing achieved through music and friends. Hope you enjoy <3

carbon:file 4 - J.dB

Previously recorded during a live performance at Monarch in San Francisco for a Sunday gathering called WERD. The original recording was damaged by a poorly set needle, so I set out to re record with slight adjustments to the original journey. Both nights were colored by the rain, the changing season, and a desire to move.

JdB resides in Los Angeles, working as a sound engineer and entrepreneur, deploying Klipsch sound systems in the rave space as co founder of Corduroy Garden. JdB is a live hardware artist and vinyl DJ. Romanced by the Berlin club sound, he conjures a meditative dance floor energy harkening back to the pioneers of dub techno, employing DAW-less electronics.

Substrate / vol.1 / JdB

Anemone 009 features an exquisite live set performed in the Mojave Desert by electronic hardware artist, Anemone co-organizer, and head of Corduroy Garden rave crew and sound system, Josiah Burnham aka JdB.

There’s something captivating about the connection between the desert and the sea. Resilient life surviving in extreme environments: The ocotillo cactus resembles the tentacles of an anemone :-) Mystery, expansiveness, and the feeling of infinity on the horizon line. How fascinating that Earth’s driest places evoke the essence of the ocean. Here, JdB explores this connection, performing a deeply aquatic sound under the desert stars ✨

A note from Josiah:

Recorded October 13th, 12:00am-2:00am at Bear’s. Johnson Valley is a very special place to me, I’m grateful for the opportunity to play in this beautiful Desert setting, knowing full well how much energy, time and effort has gone into setting up and running a state of the art 4 point sound system for 3 Days straight. Thank you to Bear, Anthony, Mandolin, Jonathon, Noa, and Brian especially for ensuring a high quality recording came back with me. The energy of this gathering is experimental and free spirited, I try to come to this space relatively empty, patient, and mindful of each element I’m bringing into the mix. I treat this quiet space as my own personal studio, and attempt to tune the frequencies. 

At it’s heart, this is DAWless dub techno, I’m using the Digitakt as my Brain drum, synth and sequencer, Digitone for melodies bass and chords, TR-8 for accompanied drums, SH01A for dub chords and Filter Freq Resonance, all running into a 1010 Bluebox Mixer. I run two effects chains, Eventide Space Reverb (Dark Matter), and Overdrive > Flanger > Delay > Reverb Chain. 

Traversed 7 Patterns… Pattern 4 (40:00) “Summed Parts” out on NP003 Nov 17th, Catch my live set that Sunday for a release event with New Palm at Porter Street Studio.
