There are just a couple of parties that I play enough times to make a completely specific set for each time, and make it my absolute best.

One is Lightning in a Bottle, which I'm not a resident of but have played 7 of the last 8 fests.

I've prepared for many different time slots at LIB, always looking at this large and spectacular festival as one where people primarily want to dance and have fun.

So I ramp up my funk and vocals (usually playful but i did have one protest lyric in this year's - you can't miss it).  

I lean on the uplifting side, spend a lot of time choosing music and organizing a playlist so i can play appropriately for my time slot and come back thinking it was one of the best sets I've ever played.  

Something that was different for me this year is I took a year and a half off from buying new music prior to LIB in order to reporganize my collection, which now spans 30 years.

Sometimes it's better to understand better what you already have before adding to a massive music collection.

But I never intended my break to be that long!  It just kept going.  And I had a couple of hard drive farts in the middle which didn't help.  

But anyway,  I started buying music again about two months ahead of LIB because I wanted to play an all new music set,  and I also wanted to to  take the time to understand the new music very well.

The problem with playing all new music at a gig is that I don't always take the time to understand it well enough to know if it's as good as the music I already have.  It's fun because it's new... but is it really adding something?

So this time I really took the time to select tracks - I was picky AF!  
This time I spent a lot of time also to play with my tracks, mix them in different ways and really try to only include tracks that were blowing my mind, so that I could give that to the dance floor.

Also spent a lot of time on tagging producers in this description - hope it helps you to discover some great new artists and music!

I've been sitting on this recording for months now because this night was almost too magical to put into the interwebs. This is my 1.5hr opening set for @tycho at Public Works SF back in April '25. 

so here we are, uh ...many...months...later... ;) 

thank you to the public works family for having me back out – i love warming up a dancefloor as an opening DJ to set the tone, & continuing to learn the art of ~opening for artists that have wildly impacted your own creative path~. 

deep melodic housey tunes from my crates: a mix of new and old favs. enjoy the sonic grooves ~

Live @ The Pickle Ball - NODE - Burning Man 2025

Hot out of the dust from Burning Man comes this set of heaters from Mindshark camp located at 4:30 & Esplanade! A short hop down the road from my camp, BRC Snow Club, this set was super fun as I got to gradually increase the pace and energy as the night went on. Plus it was a 90-minute set, which you don't usually get out there in such a prime location!

This one was special as I was invited to play by Ashoat and Jocelyn, whose spectacular Whistler wedding I performed at back in February this year. Ashoat discovered me at Burning Man last year when I was playing on Airpusher on Friday night (that set is also on my Soundcloud) and I couldn't say no to playing the wedding after hearing his and Jocelyn's story (it includes a first date skiing at Whistler, many burns together, both of them also DJ, and he proposed in the Alaskan backcountry! C'mon now! 😍).

Thank you to Ashoat, Jocelyn, and the entire Mindshark team for having me! This was a blast and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed playing!
