The Mood For Blues

A tribute to my love, the one and only Simon Garside AKA 
✨ DeepSouthAudio ✨

I spent the majority of my energy this past summer putting this set together in Simons honor.  It felt like a very important process, however hard. I couldn't let this festival summer go by without celebrating him in some way.. It meant so much to have Luscious and The Lucky Star on board with this 🙏  

This set only begins to scratch the surface of Simon's vast love of music.  It's made up of signature tracks, favorite tracks of the moment, tracks that remind me of him and sentimental tracks from our time together.. There are so many styles and flavors I was unable to fit into the set time frame but it's definitely a luscious, genre bending feast, just as Simon's sets often were.  Hopefully I did him justice.

A massive heart felt thanks to all those friends, old and new, who came and danced to celebrate Simon!  Big love also to those who helped support me in a multitude of ways throughout these two weekends and beyond.  You are all legends and I could not have got through without you 🙏💗 Xx

This portrait of Simon was taken by me and Simon entitled it 'Beat Meister'.  It is featured in my photographic portrait book 'GARB: A book of Golden Bay Characters and Costume' 💗

Reggae Got Swing Vol.4

Burning 2017 ... well, you know how to blow my mind. It was my second burn and i enjoyed it every seconds, it was again more better than the first one. 
It was an unique and amazing experience that you struggle to describe. Video, music, pictures, words or any story can only telling a little piece of all the magic...
I had the chance of playing  to some amazing camps. Big Big love for them: my Dusty Beavers, Midnight Poutine, Funky Town, Arno's Flying Fryer, Kentuky Fried Camp and Things that swing. 
Thanks a lot for having me. It was just magic!
Unfortunately, I could not record any of the sessions that I played. You know the dust, the machine and the human, everything get a bit messy and dusty … In the meantime, I feel the need to put together a selection of tunes that best described my feelings about my burn : 
Love, Freedom, Mystic, Hope, Vision, Fantasy and Rebirth. 
Radical Ritual was  the thematic of the year, so you can heard that it inspires me a lot in the process of this mixtape. I want to send my love and my huge respect to all the great producers and labels all around the world for making their amazing music... Close your eyes, feel the vibe and enjoy the journey!

Don Mescal • Burning Man • 2017

This is a mix recorded live during " L'OsstidBurn " the Montreal Burning Man. This fantastic gathering is a participatory art festival held just 1.5 hours from Montréal from June 14-17 2018, inspired by the Ten Principles of Burning Man.
I was really happy to play on friday afternoon at Robot Tarte in such a magical setting, among kindred spirits and friends. Robot Tarte is a funny and sarcastic soundcamp in hommage to the famous Robot Heart. To understand the joke, Robot heart sounds like Robot Tarte in english with the french accent. 
Robot Tarte is a collective of engineers, party people, french people, dreamers and irreverent hippies .They have a massive Funkion one sound system and a perfect location close to the river. 
I was playing spiritual tracks to feat with their thematic Enviezionne.
" Entre la cime des arbres, aux rebords de la rivière marquera une réunion pour une danse extatique allignant chakra, karma, énergie quantique et fréquence sonores interdimensionnelles. Pour ceux qui en auront besoin, une banque de karma sera disponible sur place pour des prêts à faible taux. "

Recorded on thursday night at my friend's camp ''Things that Swing''(A&2.15) for their X: 10 years  party.  It was a special gathering for burners friends who celebrate their 10 times on the playa : Kirsten, Pascal, Michael, Caterina. I tried to capture the vibe and give some nostalgie touch with a bit of oldies classic remixed and one classic big playa hits 'Africa'.  Enjoy the ride: '' 105 bpm flight ''

I started putting this mix together back around Valentines Day. My intention was to treat it like a mix tape .. long plays, back to back songs with limited mixing and a track selection that speaks from my heart. As with love in general it's about having fun and not getting too caught up in the small details. 

We all need connection, maybe now more than ever. Treat this as an audio hug from me to you 🖤

♡ From My Heart to Yours ♡
