Live at Bass Coast 2025 - Slowtempo

My opening set for earth angel james K in Vancouver on October 16, 2025. It was an honour to open for james K. 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 and helped made it a sold out show (ㅅ´ ˘ `)
