Ecstatic Dance

Recorded live at Park On Fremont in Downtown Las Vegas for Subtle Sol's Garden Party on May 23, 2021. 
Subtle Sol is a Downtempo, Midtempo, Deep House, & Electronica weekly event talking place every Sunday evening at 6pm. Located in the heart of Downtown on the corner of Fremont St. & Las Vegas Blvd is the garden oasis that will quickly transport you from the Vegas bustle into a a lush, intimate environment filled with temperate house music and friendly faces.

J.Handel & Psuedosimian @ Subtle Sol Garden Party LV 05.23.2021 🎶Downtempo House🎶

I played this set 8p-1a during a dinner event at Kassi Beach House Las Vegas inside the new Virgin Hotel & Casino. 

I love playing for dinner environments because it leaves the opportunity to take your time and blend a variety of fitting music for the environment. 
Through this night I start out with 30 minutes of lounge music leading into a selection of downtempo house, slow afro, electronica, and organic house. I briefly go back into some lounge before ending with midtempo section of varied house.

Dinner & a Groovie #1 @ Kassi Beach House 07.16.2021 [8p-1a] 🎶Feel Good House🎶

Pseudosimian and I had so much fun during this final set of 2022 with live sax by Sojourner and vocal by Trice Be. The live element always adds such a robust flavor to the environment which is hard to recreate when listening back. But i loved this night so much and the energy leading up to the end of the year that I couldn't not post it :) The set starts with a half hour of myself then the next by Pseudosimian, from there it's a quadfectca of family love! 

To finish out the night we had my friend Adrian aka Magician On Duty as our special guest to close out the evening <3 Much love to MOD for coming a day early out toVegas to groove with us! This was his 3rd Subtle Sol performance, and certainly not his last ;)

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Subtle Sol 12.30.21 - J.Handel & Pseudosimian w/ Sojourner (Sax) + Trice Be (Vocals)

Good vibes mix right here! 

Leaning toward music that will satisfy non-house music listeners yet still staying true to my own vibe.

I enjoy filling this environment with sounds that match it's ambience, as I do with all sets. 

This mix is perfect for casual house parties, hanging by the pool, long drives, ect... pretty much throw this on in the background and go about your business! 

<3 Ya'll !

Dinner & a Groovie #2 @ Kassi Beach House LV 5.29.22 🎶Feel Good House🎶

This first set was an amazing kickoff to the real start of the Burn Monday afternoon at my old home camp Never Sleep Again on 9:45&C.

Good Vibes All Around!

Burning Man 2022 )'( Monday at Never Sleep Again (5-8pm) 🎶Daytime Midtempo🎶

This night was magical playing 1:30a-3a at Opulent Chill on the corner of 2:00 & Esplanade. Then cruising all the way across the playa to 9:30&C for a 4 hour set at Octopus Garden from 4a-8a which will be the next set I'll release!

Hope you get the dusty feels from this one!

It was truly an honor to open up for this incredibly stacked Triloka Tour! 
Each of these artist have been musical inspirations to me over the years. I love playing Desert Dwellers tracks because of the vast range of their discography. I've seen them live numerous times, both together and separately and they always smash it. 
Random Rab is one of the coolest dudes I saw him at an intimate little bar called Agave near Beaver Creek, CO and I love his morning mixes. 
Evan Bluetech was the only one i hadn't seen live and thus the most excited for. I've listened to his Signs & Singularities album more times than I can count and have shared it with a handful of friends. Such a fan of his production.

Triloka Tour 11.12.22 (w/ Desert Dwellers, Bluetech, & Random Rab) 🎶Organic Psy-Bass | Downtempo🎶

This years sound system at Celtic Chaos was insane. 
Earlier in the week, Sunday or Monday, Genevieve and I went out for a ride deep playa to check out some art being built. On our way back all we could hear was one system BUMPING in the distance, we followed the sound all the way to 10&C. 
Realizing it was Celtic, I instantly became that much more excited to rock that system for my last set of the week!

The dj booth at CC looks out at the vast depth of deep playa as it is located on the end-cap of camping on the 10:00 side. Friday sunset was extraordinarily magical with a light haze from suspended smoke particles in the air. Friday the city begins to glow with various burns so when twilight hour hits its not just the sky above you busting with color, it's all around you.I remember magenta & fuchsia surrounding everything. Combine with the white ground of the playa, the surroundings were other worldly.

Zaid Bawab shared the booth with me, bringing a flashdrive of unreleased tracks of his for me to play if I so desired. And you fuckin bet I did! playing a couple of his heaters worked perfectly for the set.

Burning Man 2022 )'( Friday Sunset at Celtic Chaos 🎶Peak-Time Midtempo🎶

Although I'm not proud of the first transition, the rest of this set flowed beautifully. 

Having the opportunity to open for Satori, who has been a massive personal influence over the years, was a treat to say the least. His tracks "Syria" & "Days Without You" Crussen Remix, are some that I have rinsed more times than I'd like to admit :) 
For good reason tho, they're timeless masterpieces! 

This week in general was a dream come true, opening for Satori on 11/10 with a midtempo organic house set, then two days later opening for the Triloka Tour with Desert Dwellers, Bluetech, and Random Rab allowing me to lean more broken beat and bassy. Being able to express both these side of music was magical, and now they're both here on soundcloud! 

Enjoy, <3

This one felt really good to play as I haven't played a full set in this style in a while <3

Downtempo House is the genre that I feel most at home DJing and the alignment was certainly felt during this live recording for my friends YouTube project "HouseGuest Radio."

This set will be available to watch on YouTube in a few weeks.

I will post the link here when its ready!

This was a beautiful experience playing Ecstatic Dance Las Vegas inside The Portal at AREA15 during this very special astrological time period of the Lunar Eclipse, Fall Equinox, and Full Harvest Moon season.

May the energy felt at this gathering translate from me to you, where ever, whenever you're listening to this recording. 

You are loved <3

Ecstatic Dance Las Vegas (Fall Equinox / Lunar Eclipse Portal 9.19.24)

It's nice to share my more commercial side of music for more casual listening. 

Living in Vegas, one of my main revenue streams is playing extended sets at Restaurants & Lounges. In these environments I focus on providing guests with a musical experience that everyone can resonate with, creating an atmosphere for people to converse, nourish, and enjoy the company of their friends & loved ones. 

This is my opportunity to not take things too seriously; playing fun, vocally, feel good house music is always a nice change of pace :) 

Let me know in the comments if you are enjoying this set!

Las Vegas Lounge Vibes #1 [LIVE @ Nukha 10.12.24] 🎶Midtempo | Deep House | Afro | Commercial🎶

Hey friends,

Here's another fresh recording from a recent 5-hour set at Nukha, a stylish restaurant & hookah lounge in Las Vegas. It’s the perfect space to experiment with a variety of House music, designed to keep the vibe flowing and the guests grooving all night.

I love the challenge of these environments because, let’s be honest, most people aren’t die-hard electronic music fans. So, my goal is always to create a sound that resonates with everyone, striking a balance between energy and accessibility. It’s all about keeping the rhythm consistent without falling into monotony, while weaving in familiar vocals to keep things fun and engaging.

Whether you're enjoying this mix with friends, at home, in your car, or anywhere else, I hope it adds a vibey backdrop to your present environment.

Much love,
J.

Enjoy this Deep Dubstep set! 

Much Love,

EARTHBOUND BLISS 🌎 Root Chakra Activation (Ecstatic Dance Las Vegas 02.18.25)

Enjoy this recording from Ecstatic Dance Las Vegas from March 11, 2025!

This mix is all about igniting the arc of your inner fire. Inspired by the Solar Plexus Chakra, Helios Pulse, is movement medicine to stoked the flame of your personal power. Helios is bold, luminous, and unshakably alive! 

The power is within you, it has been all along.

This set starts with a cleansing breath work gradually rising the energy throughout the mix and bringing it back down to a tranquil resting place.

Rainy Saturday Brunch @ Guest House LV 11.15.25

Recorded live at Subtle Sol inside Juicy Beets Las Vegas on May 10th, 2018.

This night was definitely one of the best nights I've had and certainly one of my favorite sets I've heard anyone play at Subtle Sol. Hearing a downtempo set with only few recognizable tracks is a very refreshing thing for me, which is one of the reasons Patrik Khach's set was such a stand out. That, the vibe of everyone in the building, and the fluidity of his mixing is a combination that will definitely take you for a journey...

So please enjoy SubtleCast 004 by Patrik Khach

SubtleCast 004 - Patrik Khach - 05.10.2018

This was my favorite set musically that I played at Burning Man this year. Taking place at Brett Rubin's camp Zentropez (8:30&K) from 9-11pm on Thursday night.

The atmosphere was post-sunset twilight resulting a nice Melodic mix of Deep House, Deep Tech House, & Afro.

This set includes beautiful tunes from Shai T , The Soul Brothers , Skydrips , Estray , Nukreative , MEG , Hrag Mikkel , Saqib , Laroz Camel Rider , Frechbax , BICEP , Staves , SAAND , DAVÍ , Nodo , Brigado Crew , Madloch , Marco Berto , Zimmer , Bachir Salloum , David August , and Facundo Mohrr  ❤ thank you all for the wonderful work, It was a pleasure sharing your music on the playa )'(

And special thanks to Adrian for the beautiful exclusive unreleased Magician On Duty tracks that I was able to share out there 🙏🏼 can’t wait to host you in Vegas at Subtle Sol on Nov 15th!

J.Handel @ Wine Down, Las Vegas - 11.28.2018 [Dub | Psy-Bass | Liquid DnB]

On Wednesday night a large group of us returned back to Never Sleep Again after making the trek across the playa to see Carl Cox at Playground. We get into camp and have a half hour til we regroup and head out to The Cloud for Township Rebellion. I hear “Fire up the generator, Jordan hop on the decks!” What was suppose to be a half hour of music to kill the time turned into one of my favorite times at the burn this year as I realized there was nothing I’d rather do more than play music with no time constraints. The half hour passes and about three quarters of the group continued on to The Cloud while myself and a handful of people stayed back. During this set I collected many groups, couples, and solo-wonderers off the corner of 9:30&E to seek refuge of Deep Melodic House  in the massive cuddle puddle palace that was NSA this year <3. 

Playing with no time restraint is my absolute favorite headspace to mix in, that and having all the amenities in the environment for people to dance, nap, chill, converse, & play games. This set would have lasted long through the morning but just as sun started peaking over the horizon to welcome in the morning the generator ran out of gas and shut us down ha. 

Unfortunately this set wasn't recorded live, but it had so many feels for me that I had to recreate the journey. The week I returned back to Vegas from the burn I pulled up my track history on that night, pressed record, and in one easy take recreated as close to what this set would have sounded like on the playa that night / morning. 

Also, with the timid nature toward hitting play on a 3 hour 45 min set I decided to break this session into two parts.

I really hope you enjoy the first hour of one of my favorite musical memories from this years burn taking play from 2:30-3:30am on Wednesday night at camp Never Sleep Again <3
