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.

Radio Mesa 08 - Griffin Crafts

Griffin Crafts is a San Francisco DJ who has played a vital role in bringing people together, in inspiring collaborations and throwing amazing, cosy, warm, wonderful parties on the West Coast of the USA like Strategic Reserve or the Priceless Festival´s Forest Stage which was home to History of Colour´s first ever live set. Through his cross-pollination work as a curator and connector he has refined his ear for the sounds that inspire Shika Shika and was an obvious, not so obvious choice for our latest Flavour of the Month - a journey between sounds new and old, known and not.

The Long Game (DJ mix)

For our third podcast we welcome our not so distant friend from SF, @griffincrafts gives us his latest piece mind and of course, his musical selection :) 

"I made myself a list while working on this set. Here it is:
- be porous, but don’t lose the thread
- get lost 
- give it a rest
- it’s not a race
- it takes vibes to make vibes
- feel it, then figure it out
- the best places are worth returning to
- a good blend is greater than the sum of its parts"

This San Francisco DJ digs into many alleys of music, bringing not only wide-ranging selections and mixes but artists themselves to California and many other beautiful locations, introducing people to new flavors and vibes.

This special mix is composed and blended from his sets at festivals like Priceless, Lightning In A Bottle and Nomadico, decorated with brand new details.

Catch him by following Strategic Reserve, where he’s involved in throwing unique and intimate gatherings in unconventional venues. Also make sure to engage with Shika Shika, a global collective for music without borders.

The Maya deities included Kukulkán (also known by the K'iche' name Gukumatz and the Aztec name Quetzalcoatl) and Tepeu.

The two were referred to as the Creators, the Forefathers or the Makers. According to the story, the two deities decided to preserve their legacy by creating an Earth-bound species looking like them. The first attempt was man made from mud, but Tepeu and Kukulkán found that the mud crumbled. The two summoned the other gods, and together they decided to make man from wood. 

However, since these men had no soul and soon lost loyalty to the creators, the gods destroyed them by rain. Finally, man was constructed from maize, the Mayans staple and sacred food. The deity Itzamna is credited as being the creator of the calendar along with creating writing.

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.
