FnF XXV

I had a short but sweet time at Bug Out Campout 4: Garden of Dreams on day 8 and 9 of my Spring Break roadtrip with my daughter, Cerise.

This set went down at midnight on a pretty frigid desert night, did my best to warm people up with some break and then some techno.  Ok, fine, there's. little house in there too :). Something for everyone, hope you enjoy!

Overall one of my faster sets, starting at 130bpm and creeping up to 132 by the end. 

Many thanks to hosts Neil Bombshelta Black, Jason Deyarmin and Julia Daemia Styczynski for putting together a lovely event ♡

Definite highlight having Cerise bopping around to my breaks - she really has quite the dance moves!  She got cold tho and came and chilled for the rest of my set in back of the DJ booth while I moved more into techno.

Speaking of DJ booth, it was on point and I could hear great!  Sound system was proper for 1000, and decor and visuals were great too.  A lot of care was our into this little party, which of course is close to my heart ♡

Bug Out was intimate and fun!  I wish I had more time there but the time I was there I got to connect with some friends and some new people, all good vibes 🙂

 I hope to be back next year and stay longer- but it also  worked perfectly in this Spring Break adventure this time tbh.

Rainbow Connection: Live at FnF XXV

I had the honor and pleasure of playing the main stage on Friday night at FnF's 25th annual campout. The mesmerizing light show provided an epic immersion into some of my favorite tech house and progressive tracks. I hope you all have as much fun with this as I did playing it.

Bassline-driven house is the name of the game with this peak-hour banger. This is my favorite event to play every year and this time did not disappoint!

Dyson Live At FnF XXV - Chill Stage

What can I say about FnF that hasn't already been said? It's always an honor to be selected to play at these truly special events, and as such I always prepare a very thoughtfully curated set based on which stage I'm playing at and where my time slot is located in the day/night. I never plan my sets from start to finish, but I do spend quite a bit of time prior to the event finding new music and creating several small playlists of music I think I may want to play based on genre. 

This year, my slot was Friday night, June 2, 2023 from 11:15pm to 12:30am right before kem, one of my long-time DJ pals & FnF OG. For my slot, I wanted to set up kem nicely by warming up the dance floor with some tech house and then ramped up the energy throughout my set with some jackin' house & bass house.

Huge thanks to Ethan, the Music Committee, the entire FnF family and Radiant Atmospheres for always creating an exquisite experience that is truly unmatched in love, vibes and production. 

Thanks for listening!

bit of a dark edge to this one, progressive style

Gravity

A hypnotic journey through emotion and rhythm. Calling For You blends deep melodic textures with uplifting energy — a sound that moves between longing and release.
Each note pulls you deeper, each rise feels like a call from beyond — echoing through layers of rhythm, space, and emotion.

This is more than a track — it’s a feeling that finds you when you’re ready to listen.

Exploration of Space WLFERAL Remix Rev 01

A couple of years ago, I played at an event in Flagstaff called Innerspace. This installment of the event was called InnerDimensions. I really like the Innerspace theme, and it caused me to think deeply about individuality, interrelation, solitude, introspection, and presence. I assembled a batch of music for crafting a heady and introverted journey into the self, a return to source. It was a very memorable event, with a dancing crowd and a great vibe, and we all had fun – but I also encountered some nifty technical difficulties, which disrupted my flow, limited the tracks that I could play, and diminished what I had *really* meant to do - which later got me thinking even more…

There are many substantial interactions and opportunities in life that one must get right the first time, and not so many that can be corrected and crafted over time. What can be accomplished when practice can be made perfect? What if there were as much space and time and understanding as needed to say the right thing at the right time, with a clear message of truth and integrity? What if there were the opportunity to get things right a second or third time? What if more people took the time to learn and understand themselves and others, and saw eye to eye? What could people heal and communicate and accomplish with maximal self-awareness? What if I just remade the Innerspace set with all the music I had wanted to play, and made it into something much more?

This recording is for thinkers, doers, and dreamers. It is for answering one’s own questions and solving one’s own problems. It is for those who value substance over status, actively listen, and don’t look gifts from the heart in the mouth. It is for those who like to go deep within, and hang out there. It is for innovators, collaborators, fine-tuners, forward thinkers, unsung heroes, and lifelong friends.  It is for those who revel in well-crafted music, and well-crafted life. It is for adventurous road trips and dancing around in your living room. It is still flawed, still human - but still precise and specific. It is more as it was meant to be the first time.

Every one of us is an individual, and a continual work in progress. One must know and experience oneself to grow and achieve, with mind in the big picture, eyes on the past, present, and future, and heart in the right place. One has to look deep inside of things to know their true value, and then great gratitude comes.

I've been on a substantial inward journey for a few years now. I recommend it. Massive thanks and love to all friends and family, for being there with and for me over all these years.
