This set played at the historic EndUp in San Francisco for the Real Deal Party Feel by Listed, Living, and the Grass is Green
It was a party full of feels!  TYSM Gunita, Nikita, and everyone who made it happen.  DJs have the easy job at a party, but your work is not unnoticed.

Playing a dj set in between two live acts - Moniker and all-time fave Dubtribe - I wanted to bring the energy up in an appropriate way, bringing some vocal energy and funkiness but also winding back down before Dubtribe.

Of course I could do zero of this without the amazing artists who created these gems I blended.  

As time goes by I'm down to pretty much zero sympathy for DJs who hide their track lists because they thinking someone will bite their style - sorry but if you think that way I doubt your style is very worth biting.  Other people made the tracks, give them the credit they deserve.  Mixing is an art - but don't be ridiculous :)

Bite me all you want it, I take it as a compliment and we both know it won't make you Ben Annand :)

Ben Annand Live at the EndUp SF Sept 19 2021 at Real Deal Party Feel

Happy New Year friend. At the turn of the new year, I had an idea about doing a mix series. Nothing planned. Nothing organized. Just a moment in time with my music and gear. Exploring sounds, textures and feelings.

While You Were Out Mix Series Episode 1: Esette

We welcome Seattle's Zacharia to our Wulfcast Mix Series. Enjoy these tasty jams!

BIO:
Zacharia is a name synonymous amongst Seattle’s underground dance music culture. Starting his musical and personal healing journey in the mid 90’s within the warehouse walls of the rave scene, he quickly found himself at the forefront of the drum and bass movement curating events and performing alongside the top tier drum and bass artists of the time. After being submerged in amen breaks and the driving / edgy sounds of dnb for 10 years, Zacharia was led to Burningman in 2005. It was there that he started his accent to the next phase of his musical expression. Coinciding with this change in musical direction was a shift in his personal path too healing. This trajectory can be tracked when following his musical progression, the past 17 years. Zacharia chose to start anew, eventually detaching from who he was personally and musically, and recreated himself from the ground up. As the Phoenix ascended, a more authentic, grateful, and loving version of himself emerged. 

Zacharia also prides himself on is his work helping to design and support Rane mixers during his tenure working with the original company between 2007 - 2016. His pinnacle accomplishment within the company was his hand in bringing to the world the MP2015 rotary mixer which, to this day, is a necessary component in his performances. 

Rane was sold in 2016 at which point Zacharia felt inspired to share the wisdom he had acquired on his own path to healing and chose to become a substance abuse counselor. After graduating in 2018, Zacharia found a perfect home with Bhadra Recovery and is currently the clinical supervisor and lead counselor, focusing on non-traditional methods and modalities to help others reconnect with themselves and others. 

This career path and his musical expression have begun to coalesce in a really beautiful way. 

More fully resourced and with a broader understanding of the healing process, Zacharia connects the masculine and feminine aspects of himself, delivering driving, yet gentle and nurturing, soundscapes with the intention to dig into the tough spots while resonating with the heart. Invigorated, passionately inspired, and heart centered, Zacharia is extremely excited to share the journey of life and re-discovery through his music today and long into the future.

Zacharia - 
“I am honored to become a part of the Wulfpack and believe it is a cosmic and serendipitous fit. I’m excited to be broadening my tribe and connecting to an outlet that can showcase my mixes and music in a way that feels right.

Wulfcast 093 Zacharia

My return to Moontribe after 4 years!  Hey it ain't so easy to pull off living in Oregon... but good news, my venue booking business has me in California at least once a month so far this year :)

Anyway, it was great to be back!  For a March Full Moon this was a little more intimate than I was expecting - still a few hundred people there on a beautiful Thursday night though!

Musically this is on the faster,(130bpm) harder end of my range.  I did also slip in some breakbeats at the beginning and in the middle.

A lot of people haven't heard me play this style, and I always get a couple surprised comments when I play like this.  It's good to keep people on their toes!

I'll post the track list soon, but it takes a minute, and I wanted to get this up before it gets late :)  

I had a really great time here, and I danced for hours.  It was the first time I'd been in front of a huge system since the pandemic, sounded so good out there!  

Hope to be back for more soon  :)

Ben Annand Live FMG March 2022

A vibe that is minimal, but melodic. Mellow, yet driven. A little murky at times, but mostly illuminated. This mix emerged from music that was inspirational to me during the pandemic.

Blackdown 2022

I was stoked to return to Northern Nights Music Festival for my second year playing – I threw down a Friday night set at the Submerged Sessions stage for an hour of trippy vocals, rolling baselines, house, minimal, techno n' breaks. This was quite fun to hear these tracks blasting out on a proper Danley soundsystem (thanks, Jobi!!) – it's one of my fav sets I've played in awhile. Thanks to everyone who joined 💜

Torie - Live at Northern Nights: Submerged Sessions

“You and Me” ist ein verträumter, melodischer House-Track mit emotionaler Tiefe und treibendem Groove.
Perfekt für Sonnenuntergänge, nächtliche Fahrten und Momente, in denen Musik direkt ins Herz trifft.
Ein Mix aus sanften Synths, warmen Bässen und hypnotischen Beats – ein Song für alle, die elektronische Musik mit Gefühl lieben.


You & Me

For lovers of techno, melodic house, etc. Whatever your preferred genre, "Not Hide" seeks to evoke strong emotions and create an atmosphere, with progressive house influences in an immersive setting. So now just enjoy.

Not Hide

Holy Moly

I had the absolute honor of playing for my Cascadia NW Art & Music Festival fam this year and all I can say is it was purely magical. I arrived with a badass build crew to erect the entire backdrop for the event and that alone was one of the biggest feats of the week for me. Alongside playing with so many incredible artists and friends that I absolutely adore, this festival grounded me and sent me home buzzing from all of the heady vibes taken in over the span of that week. This is an extended set that was tracked back home in studio with additional songs mixed in that I had a seriously hard time eliminating during the live set. There is a copy of the live recording but I believe it was tracked in mono so I wanted to put something special to commemorate my time out in the woods with my family. Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy. This one is truly special to me and will always be held close to my heart. Aho!

Cascadia NW Arts & Music Festival 2019 - River Stage (Extended Set)

Isis Graham
Notoriously resilient and endlessly innovative, Esette (aka Isis Graham) has carved out a lasting legacy in Western Canada’s electronic music scene. With over two decades of experience, her unrelenting work ethic has made her a leading figure both behind the decks and behind the scenes, shaping cultural staples like The Alberta Electronic Music Conference, Girls on Decks, Substation Recordings, and Versions Patio Parties.

Graham’s roots in Calgary’s underground rave scene date back to 1998, where she witnessed the peak of renegade parties. By 1999, she transitioned into DJing, and after local bylaws led to the end of raves, she adapted by bringing her sound to some of Western Canada’s most iconic venues over the past 20 years. Her sets have graced stages at renowned clubs like the Embassy, Cherry Lounge, HIFI Club, Habitat Living Sound, and Open Studios as well as celebrated festivals like Bass Coast, WMC, Decibel, Think! Festival, and Shambhala.

In 2003, Graham co-founded Girls on Decks, a collective that was dedicated to amplifying the visibility of female and non-binary DJs in the dance music scene. While the initiative is no longer active, its impact on Calgary’s music community is undeniable, with its influence continuing to resonate today. 

Since 2007, Graham has built an impressive catalogue as a producer, with releases on Supremus Music, O*rs, Substation Recordings, RF, gaining support from top-tier artists like Maceo Plex, Fred Everything, Seth Troxler, and Jamie Jones. From 2013 to 2018, she served as A&R for the Calgary-based Substation Recordings, further nurturing local talent. She also co-founded Studio Social, Calgary’s first producer-focused listening event series, which fostered collaboration and community among music creators.

In 2016, Graham co-launched the Alberta Electronic Music Conference, a boutique gathering of electronic music masterminds that ran annually at Calgary’s National Music Centre until 2019. The conference featured 60+ panels, workshops, and mentorship opportunities for emerging artists. Recognized for her entrepreneurial spirit, she received Avenue Magazine’s "Top 40 Under 40" award in 2019. Additionally, her weekly summer residency "Versions" at Modern Love (formerly Broken City) has become a key event for community building, nurturing emerging talent and fostering Calgary’s house
music scene, celebrating its 11th season in 2024.

Esette’s passion for launching boundary-breaking initiatives extends to her identity as a performer. Ever-evolving and always effervescent, her multifaceted approach and raw passion shine through her work—continuing to inspire and energize those fortunate enough to experience her sound.
