This sunrise set from Tropical fave Synchronometry carried the dance floor through the first sunrise of 2024!

Set in a spectacular LA hilltop estate with sweeping views of the city, midnight fireworks, and sunrise, we danced our way into 2024 in style!

And now for something completely different!  

132 BPM Progressive-leaning techno mix :)

I wasn't expecting to be left at quite this fast a tempo but I'm glad I was :)  Only my Moontribe mixes tend to get over 130 like this, so it was a rare chance to spread my wings.

Deseract puts on a really cool party and the space, sound, lighting, and deco were all on point here.  It felt super underground and all my friends had a great time here.  

Hope you like the mix!  I'd love to play more sets like this :)

My most varied and ambitious set to date!  

Hope you enjoy AnnandEdance - I put a lot of thought, time and energy into this interpretation of Ecstatic Dance.

From 0 bpm to 67 winding up to 126 and then back to stillness

Ambient - Downtempo - House - Techno - Broken Beat  - Progressive - House - Ambient

It's an extended journey just over 3 hours so longer then normal Ecstatic Dance formet.  And more 4/4 than most Edance but there is broken house and downtempo and evena Drum and Bass track in the mix

Mahalo to Simon Smith, Paul Sykes, and Garden Temple for the opportunity!

Happy to share this 12-2am set with you guys from one of the funnest events I've played in a while. They did a great job with this event and it fully popped off...as you can hear from the crowd (we recorded the crowd as well). 

I was playing some wind instruments and a drum pad and I'm finally getting a mix out that was recorded with a show with those instruments included. 

All the love to the Esthetic Evolution fam, treefort fest, and to you for the support!

What an honour to have played the night before the Eclipse, Texas on this incredible Art Car. Fire , bubbles, old & new friends and deep sounds... Epic & powerful.
I can't thank enough these amazing friends & DJS : Ma/Ha & Zenti for taking me with them on this journey.

Mi/Nu ❤︎  Kuker Art Car @ Texas Eclipse Festival - 2024

This set from 04-14-24 really exemplifies my deep house curation and mixing style.  

For 6 months I've been digging through my collection, resisting the urge to buy new music and instead learning my 29-year music collection better.

Over that time, I went back through and labeled thousands of tracks by energy and feeling and created playlists from there.  

The overall energy of this mix is uplifting and dreamy, starting and ending more vocal. 

You won't know many, or perhaps any, of the tracks.

The tracks were mixed on CDJ 3000s.

Never synced, never looped, never wasting time with filters and effects with just one track playing.

Fully concentrated on blending two tracks together beautifully with subtle EQ-ing only.

It's so weird, I was thinking this was the best I'd ever done with my levels on a live mix, perhaps because I was being a good boy, carefully watching the decibel meter at Mars Bar :) 

I added the fade in and out in Logic and gave it a light mastering in LANDR.  There I got a message that my mix was lacking in dynamic range - meaning there might not be enough difference between the high and low levels of the mix - which on a live DJ mix, I am taking as a compliment 100% :)

Ok enough geeky DJ talk...
As always, I'd love to know what you think in comments <3

Huge thanks to Chris Phleck and Ryan Stubbs (Duserock) and the Watch Our Step crew for bringing me to San Francisco, it's such a fun and friendly crowd.

Another big thanks to David Kiely of Mars Bar for providing a safe and lovely space for people to dance.

Final thanks to Anne Plehn for the great photo capture!  IG: anneplehn

MY HALF OF THE TRACKLIST IN THE DESCRIPTION BELOW:

The Techno Twins united in full force for this downtown Los Angeles warehouse party, and my organic, lush techno sound played perfectly off Britton's more industrial, bouncy vibe. The crowd was electric and the funktion ones shook the brick walls as we moved our bodies to the rhythm. Track for track we battled it out, feeding off each other's energy and the result was 90 minutes of pure techno baptism. Enjoy the recording, and keep an eye out for the return of this dynamic duo to an underground near you!
