On Waitangi Day morning we were honoured to play the closing set for 2023's Taniwha's Den. It was a beautiful morning and the cathedral of trees was humming with the sound of cicadas, as it transpires, they like house and techno! There are a few people who we would like to thank for making this happen.

Grant and Leon thank you for trusting us with this years close, the Den stage is such an unbelievable setting and playing at the end of it all was such an incredible experience.

To Mike and Pete, once again the sound was out of this world! Every year it gets better, you are both magicians.

To the VJs, DJs, crew and volunteers, thank you for making our time onsite such a pleasure, we had the most insane amount of fun all weekend and already can't wait to do to all again.

Huge love and thanks to the amazing Miss B for the image, HAZARD WARNING!

TO ALL OF YOU DANCERS! Wow, what a floor to play for! Thank you for coming on the ride with us, we will never forget this morning and a huge part of that is because of your energy you brought. thank you, thank you, thank you.

And finally, our crew slash backup dancers, Bronte, Lara, Lawrence, Nikki and Tina, it was so much fun having you all in the booth with us, and so much fun out of the booth as well. The love, laughter and support you all gave us means the absolute world.

We loved every minute in that booth playing for everyone on that floor, it was a magical morning, it was a privilege and a joy to share COMMUNICATE with you all at the Den for the first time.We hope you all enjoy listening to this as much as we loved playing it. We can't wait to dance with you all again soon.

Vivrant Radio 032 | Rao

This event was quite astonishing, unique and amazing. Held in a cathedral in San Francisco pimped out by St Joseph's Art Foundation, I got to DJ from the pulpit. I ain't Christian but I always admired the architecture, acoustics and grandeur of a church.  

Chicago DJ Justin Reid, Mason Bates and their crew at Mercury Soul invited me to play.

Mason is a Grammy award-winning American composer and the first composer-in-residence of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. He has also been in residence with Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony, the Pittsburgh Symphony, and the California Symphony.

Mason scored a live 20 piece brass ensemble to perform a debut of my song After The Storm after which I got to DJ for an hour.  During this time, I took the liberty of diving into symphonic electronic sounds, disco and African vibes.  

It's a colossal love fusion +++

R|V^H & Dave Dirk Live at Back Underground 2024-12-07

Never Stop Dancing is a mix series dedicated to all those who find themselves locked in a groove, time and time again. To those who find themselves eyes closed lost in the music. To those who call the dance floor home. To those who say "one more song" more than once. To those who live for the collective joy, community, and boundless self-expression of the dance floor. This mix series is focused on amplifying the sounds of artists and DJs in the Kootenays and British Columbia who play shades of four to the floor: house, disco, and techno.

Never Stop Dancing 11 is an ethereal mix by the elusive purveyor of deep minimal grooves, @Ze_Moon. Ze Moon is a passionate music collector and selector based in the laid-back vibes of Nelson, BC. Hailing from Germany, he was swept into the vibrant currents of the '90s electronic scene. His mixing style weaves together deep house and techno, drawing from a vast collection of timeless tracks. With a keen ear for rhythm and a deep reverence for electronic music’s roots, Ze Moon crafts immersive sets that bridge the raw energy of the underground with the forward-thinking pulse of tomorrow’s sound.

His Never Stop Dancing mix takes dancers on a hypnotic journey driven by deep and driving bass lines and laden with organic melodies. He melds together beautiful sounds of the universe to create a meditative journey that will have you bobbing back and forth. I hope you enjoy "Journey to the Milky Way" by Ze Moon.
