Live Sets

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)

I had such a blast playing on Love Day at Area 15's Oddwood Bar. I've had more opportunities lately to play higher energy tunes and I've been loving it! 

Since getting back from Tulum earlier this year and starting Voodu (Wronski & my new event in downtown Vegas)I've been collecting more dancefloor heaters and this set became a collection of many of the tunes that are really doin it for me right now! 

I hope you enjoy this sendy mix recorded live on Valentines Night <3

J's Wub Affair @ NFBN 04.27.2022 🎶Deep Dubstep | Psy Bass🎶

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 was my first full dub reggae-based set recorded live at a Las Vegas dispensary on 4.20.22. I had a blast finding all these tunes and was pleased how well it all came together! 

Definitely a great mix for chillin, smokin, loungin, driving, pretty much anytime, anyplace :) I mean who doesn't love Reggae?

J in Dub - 4.20.22 🎶Dub Reggae | Dancehall | Trip Hop🎶

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.

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.

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
J.
