Always a pleasure to chat with Peter and Claire from Isolator, a well-respected techno duo here in San Francisco!

This 2-hour set features lots of favorite tracks from 2021, including John Tejada, KiNK, Planetary Assault Systems + more!!  Starts of deep and groovy and gradually progresses to some banging techno, enjoy friends!

EP 69: Isolator & Friends

This set was performed on the Pioneer DDJ-400 which I just acquired. I am pretty impressed with this box. I used all four tracks to mix minimal tracks that go well together. In this set, there is less than 20% of the time that you are listening to just one track. Most of the time you are hearing two or three, sometimes four tracks at the same time.

Techno can be technically easier than other genres - it is more regular, easier to mix, fairly forgiving in the micro. I think it's one of the harder genres to work with from a storytelling perspective - it's harder to avoid monotony, and despite the intensity, easy to become boring and predictable. I took some time away from techno because I got into a rut where the music I was playing was anxious and dark and suffused with the bad sort of urgency. Recently a few tracks (particularly by Eli Brown) have been so incredibly fun and filled with life that it got me back on the bus. I hope you have fun with this, I had a blast.

Sometimes you realize that it's burn day and you have WAY too much leftover meat in various coolers at somewhat questionable temperatures. So you pull the grill out to the bar, and fire her up. Other campmates bring more food, you get out the megaphone and feed the neighborhood all day. If you're lucky, your favorite dj from home (and role model camp creator)will have camped with you that year and magically have 12 hours of songs with words on them AND be in the mood to not leave the decks all day. History will be made and a favorite tradition formed. Minds blown, songs sung at the top of many lungs, and much dust kicked up by many boots.

Years later you'll want to start a soundcloud page for camp, and maybe drag your feet for a while, but along will come a mix, slaved away on throughout a pandemic, by the very dj that set the tone for that magical experience. Part of a series representing our remergence from said pandemic, and a certain psychedelic therapy that feels like a romp around the playa. So you’ll start the soundcloud and just like the Annual Impromptu Questionable Meat Bonanza, a new platform for us to express ourselves will be created under the guidance of the same dj who’s already had such an indelible impact on our culture. 

We're thrilled to have @djspaceotter be the first mix we post here, and look forward to sharing more mixes from our other crazy talented camp mates, and friends!

This is a livestream broadcast of the set I had prepared to close the Friday night main stage at the Friends and Family 2022 Campout. Sadly, COVID-19 had other plans for me, so I streamed it from home instead. Recorded on June 25, 2022.

Balls: live (not) at FnF Campout 2022

Callback Funk - Live At FNF 2018 (sunrise)

Deep house grooves, some unreleased originals in there too.

Grooves from the Park - DJ mix

Took a long hiatus (babies) from DJing and posting those sets but shelter in place and the weekly streams has given me a renewed passion!

Late Night FnF May Stream

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!
