I’m honored to have been asked to submit an exclusive set for Faultline, the only Bay Area crew still earnestly holding down the breakbeat vibe. I’ve been playing breaks since the late 90’s and I strove to incorporate a wide spectrum of Swampy breakbeat from downtempo, through cross-genre House flavors with modern Bay Area bass vibes, through late 00’s energy, ending on my 90’s DJ origins in progressive breakbeat. This is one of my favorite cohesive mixes I’ve done; I hit all my targets and think the vibe is just delicious, hella Deep, and a bit moody for winter vibes. I open slow and moody while the last five songs all have relationship vocals to my current struggles and bear relevant soul; while the middle drops fav jams from all eras. And y’know, you can dance sexy to it all too. I hope you take time to listen well and enjoy! - Dao

Welcome to my SoundCloud page, how nice of you to stop in! 

I was born and raised in the San Francisco bay area and feel lucky to be residing in SF in an especially lush and fertile environment for electronic music culture at this moment. Lately I've been mixing deep house, tech house, minimal..... but as always, tracks are whatever I find atmospheric, well produced, and/or have a certain vibe/groove.  When I hear a track for the first time, my jaw hits the floor and I yell "WTF is THIS?!?" ...that's the track I want to play, all of the time! :-D

In 2003 I started playing vinyl with the intention of mixing and DJing.   I switched to CDJs in 2010 -  vowing never to travel to the desert with records again - which was becoming a yearly phenomenon.              
As much as I was loathe to abandon the vinyl format, the realization that vinyl is not environmentally sustainable, that I would be able to collect more music, and support more artists by moving to digital solidified my conviction.  

I always ID tracks on my mixes I post to the best of my ability, and take care to keep notes during any session - whether it's in the bedroom or playing out live - for the purpose of crediting artists and passing on the enjoyment of great music to the listener.  I hope you enjoy some of the music that moves me.   And, please, please support the artists we love by purchasing their tracks!  :)

You will find several tracks repeated in the mixes I post, which is unorthodox. I broadcast a live DJ set most Tuesday mornings ( Brunch With Pwny on www.mixlr.com/pwny ) and gig actively. I have tracks that survive the test of time and when it's the right time to use an older track, I will do so. Most mixes I post now are recordings of the live broadcast or of a gig.

For booking or correspondence you may send a message to daoandpwnybooking@gmail.com

PLURzzzz!
