Welcome to the burn, Rippers! 

2022 was a short burn for me.. as a new parent we could not leave the little one for long.. However was were still able to rip it down. Here's an hour of disco inspired beats, honoring the legendary Studio 54 and the Rippers home at 4:30 & C.

AVI BURN

My first international DJ set performed at Midburn 2018 in the Negev desert of Israel! Major life highlight for me : )

All around this was an amazing experience. Everyone @ Midburn was incredibly friendly and welcoming, being able to perform was a huge highlight, and experiencing the international community was just awesome. 

This mix flows from tribal roots to a melodic crescendo, then back down into a solid block of driving melodies and dance-floor goodness. I'd been working on it for a while and was super grateful to be able to share it with everyone. Happy listening!

Funky disco house set from Saturday night, post man burn, in the Mystical Misfit's End of the World Piano Bar. Thanks to everyone for dancing and partying with us!

Performed Saturday, Sept 1st, 9:30pm-11:30pm @ Mystikal Misfits (4:30 & B)

Saturday Night Man Burn // Disco House @ Mystikal Misfits // Burning Man 2018

Performed Thursday night, 10pm-12am @ Booty Hunters, 9:30 & H. This kicked off a span of 4 DJ sets in a 48 hour period and it was awesome. A blend of some funky, disco tracks with some "guitar house" that made for a great collection of friends and faces. 

Special thanks to Dima and the rest of the Booty Hunters crew for letting me throw down. I had a blast getting people to dance their faces off in y'all's dome.

I recorded this @ Dr. Pong in Berlin the night after our Adventure[s] party at SchwuZ.  An ex-pat friend of mine loves Dr. Pong and hooked me up to play some tunes. Well, 4 hours later this was my set : ) I then dashed off to join another dance party @ Crackers till early morning (Berlin, your music scene is amazing).

I had a great time @ Dr. Pong, reminded me of the 2000s Brooklyn scene. Shout out to everyone that danced and hung out during the night. Here’s to next time!!

Live @ Dr. Pong // Berlin, Germany // Dec 2018

Austin was amazing.. wow! Our Mystikal Misfits crew came together to throw an epic circus-themed dance party and it did not disappoint. I have so much gratitude for finding people who love music and like to live life to its fullest, and that we can all throw crazy parties together : )

This set is 2 hours of new disco house and nudisco tunes, with a little but of tech house thrown in at the end to keep the energy up. Hope you enjoy!

A Road Through Black Rock City 2019

I put together a mix to listen to whilst driving, waiting at gates, or just to get hyped for this year’s burn : )

This mix isn't what I set out to mix, but sometimes the story tells itself. This is an emotional journey telling the story of a long night spent wandering deep playa. You know how it goes, right?

First comes the excitement; the anticipation of the journey. It’s magical! I’m ready! let’s go! Think of all the wonderful and weird things afoot!

So you boot up; fill your packs; gather proper playa supplies. And you set out! You bike through the city and towards the man.. it's a magical adventure. Oh look, there’s Hardly’s! Shit looks weird. Awesome! Hey dude on your bike, watch out! Okay cool I see the man! Let’s head for the temple! Okay which way now? Let’s go right!!

Wow it’s dark. i think i see something out there, let’s keep going! OMG it’s a fire breathing ice cream cart! sweet! oh wait i’m not hungry. Ok, let’s keep biking, I think I hear music. Yes a random art car... let’s dance! This is fun! It’s just what i was looking for! Actually this is a little weird, everyone is moving but is anyone really dancing.. let’s hang for a bit. Uh, this is kinda dark. Do i like it? Yes i do. Wait no, i don’t. Ok let’s keep biking i gotta find what i’m looking for! I don’t know what i’m looking for!

Ahh, it’s out here somewhere.. we just gotta keep going. Let’s go, there’s something up ahead. Yes! Oh wait., it’s the trash fence. There’s no one here.. we’re all alone. this isn’t what i’m looking for. Will i find it? why did we go this way? I don’t think i’ll find it! no, i can’t waste this night...

ok. wait.

pause.

breath.

Ok.. this is.. ok? What’s that? Who's there? Do i want a hug??? Uh, Yes I do! Sure dude in a dinosaur onesie! Oh man, thank you. i needed that. This is magical! Ok let’s go!

Another art car.. oh, it’s vibing. Let’s dance. Yes! This is great! I’m floating! Look at all those smiles! OMG this is it! This is what i was looking for! The sky! Is it turning purple? Wow is it almost morning? Look the sun! It’s rising! Everyone is still smiling! Omg that heat from the sun’s first rays! Yes! This is my home; this is where i belong. How did i ever doubt that? 

That’s right.. this my home. It’s where I dance. I love it here. Let’s do it again tomorrow 💜

Y’all know what i’m saying, right?

A Road Through Black Rock City // 2019 Pre-burn mix

My last set of the burn capped off an amazing and wonderful adventure, including an engagement to my wondeful partner!

This was the opening set from The Mystikal Misfits post-man burn party on saturday night. We had a fire 6-hour party featuring lots of fire, naked people, and lots of impromptu drummers. Take a listen to an hour of full-on disco and funky dance party vibes.

The Booty Hunter dome is always a blast; intimate vibes, great friends, lots of dancing, and strong-ass drinks from the booty bar. This year exceeded expectations and was the most fun with a full on disco house throw down. 

Many thanks to my misfits and booty hunter crew alike for representing this year. I had a blast on decks and it looked like everyone did on the dancefloor as well. This one gets a little harder/booty shaking towards the end, featuring some tracks i haven’t played before.

Enjoy!

back to back. to back!

Re-experience the magic that was Bacchus Raucous - The Devil Wears Toga. The Mystikal Misfits’ Friday party was 3 hours of happy, disco-y, dance-filled bliss that capped off a bubbly and infectious week at The Mystikal Misfits camp. 

Bamboom and choyce make a natural pair and each bring their own unique and dance-friendly style to the dancefloor. Bamboom‘s signature pop-infused joy-core vibe leaves the crowd breathless and wanting more, while choyce brings the hands-in-the-air funk with his disco infused vibes and signature build ups.

The Mystikal Misfits NYC family is small but mighty! Together about 10 of us put together a disco hallway at the Knockdown Center for 9 hours of house, disco, and some weird late night adventures ; )

This was recorded 1am-4am and shutdown basically all of DeCom. Overall, NYC Decom crushed it this year; the space was warm, welcoming, and weird. It felt like home, and I so so appreciated everyone that came through to boogey down to our disco house all night. 

This mix starts out with about 90 mins of my signature disco house sound, then transitions into a little more of the harder, booty house sounds, then meanders for about 45 mins through deep playa tracks and some more tribal and ethereal beats --its a wonderful little journey : )

My second Australian bushfire fundraiser of the year, this time to support firefighters and koala rescue. I partnered with Splash on this one, and all told we threw a hell of a 6-hour dance party and raised over $18,000. Way to fucking go!

This mix is the first 2 hours of the party, very disco heavy and reflects some of the more NuDisco sound I've been toying with. A bit less of the hands-in-there sound, but still plenty fun and vibey for a dance party. The later 1/2 of the party was a full-on pop music love fest (aka, A Dance Party With Words). That too was a blast, but you had to be there to enjoy it ; )
