This is a selection of tunes that were shared with me by my dear friend Mike Cole. Putting a mix together was my way of honouring him whilst coming to terms with my sadness at his passing.
This one's for you Mikey and for everyone who loved you. It was a pleasure sharing the decks with you and watching you get the dance floors bumping. Rest easy my friend ♡

MIKE COLE RIP MIX ♡

this is a hybrid live/dj - set to bonjuk bay for having me
grateful for the days we spent by the sea

Raz Ohara @ Bonjuk Bay

I like nature and music and I like deep dives into the depths of my own mind.

It’s becoming more and more obvious that my mind is really busy - way too busy. It is always exposed - constantly receiving and absorbing, processing and changing.

I have therefore become more cautious of what I want to let into consciousness and taking regular breaks from the endless stream of stimuli and simply paying close attention to my mind has helped me pierce through the spellbinding clutter of unstoppable thoughts. To me, what reveals itself on the other side is a profound state of
calm. A calm from which natural curiosity, playfulness and love can spring freely.

Music is a channel where I express this natural playfulness that I believe we all share deep inside. Playing my music on top of the Robot Heart bus at their ten year anniversary was one of those precious moments where I felt you were responding to this - we were playing together.

When you express a similar joy and playfulness to that which I create the music with we set a beautiful feedback loop into motion. Getting eye contact with you and seeing how me and my wobbly harmonica notes crack you up into a big smile affects me and really fires me up. 

Your response inspires me to create more and feel more and
express myself more. 

I would like to send a big fat virtual hug to everyone who rode their bikes deep out into the playa that morning and to Robot Heart for  making me part of the family.

If you by any chance feel the playfulness bubbling up inside of you - in any shape or form - please let me know, I would love to be in the loop with you. :)

Crussen - Robot Heart 10 Year Anniversary - Burning Man 2017

A small hour of tracks I have been wanting to play that I think are just perfect for soaking up the sunshine notably around sunset time. Some relatively new songs and some "old" gems that I wanted to share with you while we go through this tough moment in time which our generations have not experienced . I hope I can share my positive vibes with those who need it most and look forward to sharing moments with you all, whether it be sitting by the lake, walking in the mountains, raving at ungodly hours at a festival or just chilling and talking about life and silly things. 

Anyways wishing everyone a good and onward journey! 

Big hugs

Funky Chap - A Sunset Into The Unknown

Elysian Moon is a live-electronic dance music duo—a dance between violinist and pianist, blending gypsy, organic, and sparkly techno influences into a fluid, dynamic sound. The project began with their debut track, Seraphic Heart, in 2024, marking a commitment to prioritize the music first, no matter what—opening doorways of opportunities that the duo attributes to magic. 
Composed of a world-class audio engineer and violinist, aka Tropo, and Grace Jiia, a former data scientist turned virtuoso pianist and cellist, Elysian Moon composes original music that moves through neoclassical landscapes, global house beats, and cinematic folkloric rhythms. Their performances are an artistic display—capturing their creative synergy, illuminating the intricacies of culture and nature, and unfolding into a deeply immersive, ritualistic experience that invites listeners into a connective atmosphere and intimate journey
