This lil' baby mix was born on January 8th as we celebrated our first Flammable Sundays at our new venue, Chop Suey in Seattle, WA. Most of the residents were in attendance so we played shorter sets, and I am real proud of how this one turned out. Comment on your favorite moments in the mix and enjoy!

Hyasynth Live @ Flammable 8-21-2022

LIVE SET recorded at the Orient Express in Seattle, WA in September of 2018 for another epic edition of the Train Car House Party. I didn't know they were recording when I was playing, so this was truly a special set to capture.TCHP was a free monthly party that happened for 13 years straight (even through Covid!) in Seattle's underground house music scene led by the legendary @Erin O'Connor-Drew. I feel honored to be one of the DJs who kept getting invited back time and time again to rock those train cars off the rails (and eat all those yummy cupcakes). Long live @Train Car House Party!!
