DrJ DJ: EDKW3

(Music begins at 2'50")
Recorded live at 'Za Lab, Sideburn 2025 in Stone Mills, Ontario, aka Haya.
Amidst a fury of fresh pizza, lawn games, imaginative drinks, and a deep fried turkey, this meandering set came together, taking a great group through every genre of music known to humankind. And then some.

'Za Lab Super Sideburn Sunday

Recorded at Pandora's Box, June 2025.
A smattering of bouncy, sunshiny jams to keep a beach party bumping, or at least you bumping on the beach.

Bounce Bounce Bounce

A gift to say goodbye to 2015 in style. A big year it was, especially with the Back To The Future arrival date. We're now *really* in the future.

Time this right: the countdown will hit zero at 5:05 into the tune.

Listeners: start listening just a hair before 11:55 PM and you won't even have to watch the countdown to know when it 2016 hits.

DJs: feel free to download this tune and use it in your set. If you do, let me know you've done it and let me know how it went!

Happy new year :)


All Systems (Countdown 2016)

Remix of "Downtown", from Majical Cloudz' 2015 Arts & Crafts release, "Are You Alone?"

A somber song that I wanted to make more DJ-friendly than the beautiful original, and shine a different light on a raw & revealing tune. A little less haunting, if not a little less haunted.

Majical Cloudz - Downtown(Spoke And Mirror RMX)

From June 1-5, 2016 a hive of musical explorers discovered & rediscovered Montréal. I was one, and it rearranged me. Nothing can capture MUTEK other than MUTEK, but this is a mix of some of the artists who moved my body, moved my heart, and moved my mind over those five early summer days.

*Note: This adventure actually began at the end of March when Robert Henke performed a surround Monolake set for AVANT_MUTEK. And from what I understand he's something of a patron saint for MUTEK, so I say it's fair game for Monolake to be included here.
