My set for the renegade Garden Stage at Pachena Bay Music Festival 2024 is a downtempo mix that spans from deep ambient, astral jazz, to some experimental, downtempo breaks and beats. I love every track I played, each having its own beautiful sonic journey.

This was such a magical venue and location to perform with the most wonderful people. Thank you to the Huu-ay-aht First Nations, organizers, volunteers, and performers who made this festival possible. The microphone was accidentally left on and I love how faint sprinkles of laughter weave in and out of the set.

Live at Bass Coast 2025 - Slowtempo (Saturday opening set)

My opening set for earth angel james K in Vancouver on October 16, 2025. It was an honour to open for james K, especially for a sold out show. I reflected a lot about jame K’s music and her NTS Trip Lick show (highly recommend listening to). This culminated in a journey that included dreamy downtempo future classics, dubbed out lush ambient textures, and ethereal dnb bangers, including a forthcoming release by Maude Vôs (https://soundcloud.com/maudevos) and Prieste5s (https://soundcloud.com/prieste5s) on Delusional Records (@delusional_records). Thank you Paradise Cultural Society for having me and to everyone who came (ㅅ´ ˘ `)
