this is one of my favorite sets I've listened to in the past weeks... going into heavy rotation.

A follow up to "Yacht Music for Yacht People", this set follows the same ebb and flow of that set.  Yacht Rock is more than just smooth rock from the 70s and 80s, it is a reimagining of a genre that requires continuous exploration.  This is my reinterpretation of that genre. Features remixes from Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, Peter Gabriel, The Police, David Bowie, Billy Idol, Depeche Mode, and Queen.

The Yacht Rock Series

Drop It Like It's Yacht

Brass Tax had our own stage at BOC this year, tucked away from the fray up in a corner, and we couldn't have been happier with seeing all the beautiful (masked) faces who came by to say hello! In addition to being my first public appearance since NYD 2020, this is one of my favorite sets I've ever played, full of funky, soulful house, midtempo breaks, and groovy rolling basslines. We didn't get a recording at the festival, so I decided to recreate it live from Bowerbird. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

The Journey Home

For this installment of my chill series I found inspiration the moment I heard a vocodered voice singing Hotel California in the Luxxury edit. A week later I heard AfroQBen's amazing remix of Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith and I was off to the races. Being a New Wave kid as a teen I didn't get into many of these songs until my adult years and yet somehow I listen to this mix and it makes me feel like a teenager again. 

It's my birthday so please enjoy my birthday present to you!

My Definition of Chill Vol. 6 Jukebox Hero

This was my set I played on the Dusty Rhino the night of the Burn 2015.  I had not planned on playing this evening, but we learned that day of the passing of our dear friend, Mike Reigle.   To bury my pain I jumped up and played this impromptu set.  I thought about his memory with every beat.  This one's for you Mikey.   And please donate http://rvmikereigle.org/.
