It was great to be back home for Rogue Burn. Definitely missed the art at Burning Man (there was some this year, but much less than usual), the compact city structure, and the burns themselves, but dancing in the vastness of the playa and connecting with people -- in pandemic safe ways! -- was a much needed reset after a difficult couple of years. There's magic in the dust. Enjoy!

Sept 2021 - Lost Oasis (Rogue Burn 2021)

This mix ended up very different than what I had envisioned at first. Explored a bunch of tracks that felt both familiar and, in many ways, like unfamiliar territory. Here's to exploring the unknown and to new growth. Enjoy!

Nov 2021 - New Growth

Though I won't be at Love Burn this year, I wanted to put together a little warmup mix to get the dancing started. Can’t wait to see everyone on playa this summer!

Feb 2022 - Uplift (Love Burn warmup)

Ringing in the New Year with @bubbles-and-bass at Seize the Day is always a great time! Thank you all for coming out to dance. Wishing all of you health and happiness in these difficult times. Remember to tell the people you love that you love them. (In loving memory of Neil Patel, who would have really loved that sunset, those waves, and this set. I miss you.)

Jan 2022 - Bubbles & Bass (Seize the Day)

Persians traditionally celebrate the New Year (Norouz) on the first day of spring. After a long and difficult winter, let's hope that spring brings some calm to our turbulent world. Enjoy!

Mar 2022 - Book of Kings

I had a blast playing in the Sonic Soul Tribe dome at this year's burn. Absolutely incredible, pristine sound and they're exceptionally nice people too! Thanks so much for having me! Until next time...

Had an amazing time playing an extended Father’s Day livestream set for @bubbles-and-bass in Cyberspace! Enjoy!

Jun 2020 - Bubbles & Bass in Cyberspace (live Father's Day set)

It's been a difficult year, to say the least. As summer fades into autumn, remember that we are all inextricably interconnected and try to pull together so we can get back to the dust and hugging strangers with the volume all the way up. Happy dancing!

Sept 2020 - Interconnected

What an exceptionally strange time to be alive. The past 12 months have been very difficult for a lot of people around the globe...but it's starting to feel like we have begun to find our collective footing. Here's to a new day and a path forward to a better place, for all of us. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. (Photo credit @mcgoughisaconsumerwhore)

Feb 2021 - New Day
