This Mix is dedicated to Preston Brown. An inspiration of the House Music Scene in NYC. I always appreciated his parties on the Coney Island Boardwalk over the many years, and his words of encouragement as a new DJ on the Set. Kind Regards to his family. May his spirit live on in House ❤️ 🏠 Music 👼

Carry on and Keep SANDCASTLES 016

Welcome to the Next Series TOUR. I enjoyed Carry On and Keep Series so much.  I was able to post 21 mixes. What a wonder!! I had so many Rave reviews and I am thankful. Sorry for the Delay. It took me a minute to get the creative juices flowing to come up with my next years Journey. As an educator I'm on an Academic Calendar and my Year starts in September. I celebrate my Birthday and school begins and so does the next musical journey of my life. Looking forward to exploring all corners of my vast collection. Hope you enjoy and Please Leave Feedback, Repost and Comments. Zion;)

FALL REFLECTIONS 2022

TOUR 001 JOY

Elemental Vol. 1 moves through earth, air, fire, and water not as metaphors but as emotional states. The songs drift like weather systems, mixing tenderness with atmosphere - acoustic guitars and field-warm vocals meeting the pulse of understated techno rhythms. The production is deliberately porous: wood and wire breathing alongside soft synths and spectral drum-machine traces. It's an "acoustic techno" album in the sense that rhythm and resonance share the same dirt. The songs carry the physical textures of wind in rafters, gravel underfoot, or rain on a roof, yet they shimmer with digital light. This meeting of folk intimacy and electronic timbres gives the album its peculiar gravity - part back-porch confession, part after-hours heartbeat.

Lyrically, Elemental Vol. 1 abandons conventional pop architecture. Instead of verse–chorus–bridge repetition, each piece unfolds as a field poem - free-form, continuous, and responsive to its own inner weather. The writing treats structure as tide rather than grid: refrains return when they need to, not when they're told to. This openness lets the language breathe in sync with the natural imagery that drives it - storms, light, stone, silence - and invites listeners to inhabit the songs as evolving spaces rather than predictable forms. Across the various mixes of its six song poems - We Learn the Sky, Don't Sightsee This Heart, Be a Storm in Me, Til the Heat Is Gone, You Happen Like Weather, and Wild Gifts - the album traces the cycles of intimacy and impermanence, finding in their motion the same quiet power that turns seasons, wheels, and hearts.
