May 28 2022 Public Works - Opening for Christian Löffler, Parra for Cuva, Caleesi & Sarah Kreis

July 1, 2023

My 12th year performing at Priceless was the most fun I've had yet. Thank you to all of the planners, volunteers, and attendees that make Priceless happen. Deep gratitude to the musicians who made the music in this set, especially previous Priceless guests El Búho (@el-buho), David Last (@davidlast), and Rumpistol (@rumpistol). 

Special shout out to my forever inspirations for Forest vibes - Ganucheau (@ganucheau) and Dr. Toast (@drtoast). It still feels like everything I do with music is trying to do for others what they have done for me. 

Happy Priceless.

Griffin Crafts - Priceless 2023

As 2023 comes to a close it is time for another Cosmo-vision mixtape of beautiful music in new contexts. Old music, new music, electronic, acoustic, folk to dub: a patchwork of sound and a journey of melody, harmony and rhythm.

Chalk it up as another tough year with glimmers of hope if you keep your eyes on them.

2023 Mix (Cosmo-vision)

Some hot and tropical tunes buzzing slowly from a distant place that we all know, where we’re welcome to have a laid-back rest and to simply enjoy a nice time - our occasional oasis. Enjoy the journey and come back whenever you want.

The sunrises in the desert are something extremely special and even more so when I had the privilege of DJ'ing for the first time at Burning Man ~ at one of the most unique places and experiences on earth - on the sound art car, Rexan, a "burnified" South Arican double decker Safari jeep from the Sundowners Burning Man camp. This set is actually re-recorded since in true dusty fashion - you never know what can happen, the set did not record. So here it is re-created for your listening pleasure. In dust we trust, except... when it comes to digital sound recording equipment. Dreaming of that glorious morning with you all. Until next time....

Special note: as I re-recorded this set, I at times, closed my eyes and transported myself back to the desert....and the feeling of forgiveness came to me. For my eldest brother Steve who has not spoken to me in over 20 years. I forgive you; I forgive myself and I "pray to see the day" where there will be different "versions of ourselves", able to meet each other with grace, love and forgiveness. You deserve that and so do I. Freedom.  Life is way too short to hope for anything else.

I recently went to Lightning in A Bottle and got the worst stomach bug of my life. Had to be taken to the hospital, luckily when I got home I had the chance to go to these wonderful healing waters of the Yuba River. I'm grateful to be alive and that I get to enjoy this wonderful place.

It inspired me to make a mix when I got home. Hope you enjoy it! 

Mucho amor! <3

Jan 25 2019 - Opening for El Buho, Nickodemus, Dreems, Luca Musto

Recorded live Nov 6, 2020, celebrating the release of Ganucheau’s album “Variations on a Playground." The influence this music has had on me is hard to overstate. I consider Ganucheau's sound and this album in particular to be the core of my experience at Priceless, one that I deeply enjoy sharing with others at the event. And now, we can all share it at home thanks to its release.

The evening was intended to be full of soothing music, as in the US we were in the 4th night of not having election results - it had been quite a week and we all needed something other than the news and doomscrolling for a few hours. My set attempts to channel the mix of emotions I've been feeling over the last months, give a little rise and fall, and end on a soft note. Like we do in the forest.
