Filled with passion and fire, EXOENDO takes you up on a journey over a dynamic landscape of DnB with COMIN’ IN HOT - a blend of jazzy liquid funk, layered harmonic textures, glossy smooth synths, with a horizon of groovy soulful melodies and a whole lot of deep full-bodied bumpin’ bass.

Enjoy!

Lick the DJ - live at FnF XXV (Summer Campout 2023)

Excited to release my set from LIB 20-Year Anniversary!  Every LIB experience for me seems to top the last.  

This year was special as I hosted Camp Tropical for the first time and had my daughter, Cerise, there for the first time since 2019.  And it was LIB's 20th year, and a brilliant one!

Huge thank you to the Flemming Brothers - Jesse, Dede and Josh and team for producing the Fest, to Patricio Motta for producing the Junkyard Stage I played on, and to Todd Anisman for the ChinoSound!

I always put a lot of effort into my LIB sets, and this year no exception but with the extra challenge of extra responsibility x 2 - organizing a Tropical group camp, and caring for my daughter, who made a few visits to the DJ booth during this set as well.

Honestly I did feel a little less focused that normal up there and wasn't sure how I was going to feel about my set when I got the recording.  I'm a harsh self-critic but I actually love this mix as much as any of the 6 others I've played at this lovely fest :)

I definitely play with a certain aesthetic at LIB, which is to honor the crossing of the underground and mainstream in my own way.  I describe this set as banging and uplifting, with carefully chosen vocals.  I mean a festival is a celebration, and this just year 2 out of the pandemic I'm definitely favoring uplifting over dark.  

Ok, I do favor that generally, but same time I am processing some darkness over the past 2 years as I've experienced huge losses.  Last year's LIB I was processing the recent demise of my marriage, while this year I was processing the loss of my mom last September.

Recently in our West Coast underground music community we have lost some very special people and there's been a lot of sadness over that, especially this past week.  

One of the very best tools for processing loss is of course music and dance - I hope this set brings you light and joy in these challenging times <3

Please give this set a listen, a like, and a repost if the spirit moves you. Your comments are always welcomed, and usually answered <3

Ben Annand Live at LIB Festival 20-Year - May 26, 2023

Simon Shackleton B2B The Scumfrog Live from Double Down at Mighty SF 3/28/15.

We'd been waiting for this one since NYE when an impromptu tag set happened between these two and we knew it was fate at it's finest hour.  We got the boys together and the result was incredible, a 4 hour B2B set with The Scumfrog also providing some live drums to compliment the set had Mighty in a frenzy of dance.  We are certainly looking forward to doing this again!

Simon Shackleton Vs The Scumfrog Live From Double Down

If you ask anyone on the playa about DISTRIKT, they immediately smile and say, best day party on the playa! I am proud to be with a kamp of snarky folks who work hard to deliver a full bar 6 days a week and with a music line up that is always on point. I was on the build knew this year and now know a bit more of what it takes to get everything dialed in. A lot of blood, sweat, and middle fingers get this all done. There isn’t room for sensitive Sally’s and that’s why I fit in. I am most grateful for my involvement with DISTRIKT and this year I got to play on my Burnthday, Saturday, September 1st with so many of my awesome friends there with me. The crowd was gathering for my good friend, colleague, and badass DJ Ben Annand and I was ecstatic to follow his flow. I am very happy with this mix and I invite you to enjoy the journey of sounds and moods.

Love and respect!

DISTRIKT 9 & J/I 2018

Aaron Jacobs - DISTRIKT Music - Episode 178

8 Weeks in...some dark...some confusing...some loss...some hope...

Quarantine Sessions - Volume 8

Week 9 with some new tracks from firephly...Megan Fohl. The mix starts with her "In My Way". Sooo good...

Quarantine Sessions - Volume 9

Diggin' on this one...some new synth work, lots of cinematic rise and falls...some of my absolute favorite artists right now.

Quarantine Sessions - Volume 19

Some good deep techno with some originals from Darkwell.

Quarantine Sessions - Volume 21

Deep and Whimsical with Dark Edges of Thought. Artwork created by the ultra talented martian_design - found on Fractalgasm.

Quarantine Sessions - Volume 22

My tastes vary, as well as my mixing styles. Sometimes deep and thoughtful - other times dirty funky and a bit raw. More to come...

No hype. Just music.

Party nomad - CO/LA/DT/NY/SF
