A slow deep house travelogue from the Badlands to The Bayou, from the Western twang of Wyoming's cowboy country to the pensively achy ballads of Southern blues. Live & unscripted  (recording is from my set at Green River Rendezvous Festival,  Wyoming). Tracklisting below:

DRAGONFLY - TUMBLEWEED HOUSE & PRAIRIE BLUES

First recorded set in a while. It feels great to share music I have been listening to, playing out, and vibing to on and off the decks.

James Barry - Renaissance

A sacred journey into the fires of rebirth woven for Denver's Rhythm Sanctuary community. Releasing all that no longer serves, alchemizing that which remains in the phoenix fires, crystalizing our rebirth into lasting transformation.

An incredible festival, an incredible dance: In the late night steamy heat of the Costa Rican rainforest we Invoked the sacred through sonic alchemy and surrendered to the divine.  This set was the culmination of everything I strive for on the ecstatic dance floor - in the amorphously porous container of a festival a multi genre, tempo-twisted offering of deep groove and penetrating cadence elastically stretched the potential for expression over 108 minutes of unpredictable storytelling as each dancer exploded into the hyper-nowness of being.

DRAGONFLY - SPIRIT CATCHER @ ENVISION FESTIVAL ECSTATIC JUNGLE DANCE 2023

Rhythm Sanctuary is a vibrant ecstatic dance community near Denver, Colorado. Every Thursday over 200 revelers gather to express themselves through movement. I had the opportunity to play the event on May 12, 2023. 

The intention: deep. The energy: palpable. The expression: mighty. I thought the dance floor was going to sprout wings and fly. Maybe it did. 

I invite you to enjoy this set, my Rhythm Sanctuary debut.

This is my live set from July 9, 2023 at Santa Barbara Dance Hive in the Carrillo Ballroom.  Enjoy!

Live set at Dance Hive - Santa Barbara, CA - July 2023

This is my live recording from Rhythm Sanctuary Ecstatic Dance on August 18, 2023. The energy and expression of the dancers moved me to tears. 

Wave by musical wave, the dancers went deeper into flow and deeper into their respective ecstatic experiences. Taken together, the room unified in a collective experience, true communitas. Can you feel the unifying moments?

What a joy it was to provide the soundscape for those willing to go deep and ride wave after wave. I have deep gratitude for this medium to move people.

This is my live recording from the Rhythm Sanctuary Ecstatic Dance on January 11, 2024. The feedback loop from music > to dancer > to DJ > to music > to dancer > to DJ was on a level I have not experienced. A unifying field emerged in the space where energies rose and fell and rose and fell and transmuted, transformed, healed and grew. And we emerged . . . expanded. Deep gratitude to this community.

"What a treat it was to play as part of the birthday celebration for Pink Mammoth OG Markie B. I feel blessed to be part of such a rich community of dreamers and doers who create a magical tapestry upon which so many memories are made. With this set, I tried to reflect what Pink Mammoth is to me: high vibes, deep beats, and of course a booty-shakin' good time."-James

In the beginning of the week, YokoO embraces the dancefloor with a dynamic and honest approach sparking it up with forward thinking music every time. When you see him play, you can see a genuine love for what he is doing and that naturally feeds back to his audience, fuelling energy and the fever of the dancefloor. The warm melodies work with the heavy basslines to create a unique sound that is deep but still pumping enough to get a party started . . . and going way passed sunrise.

Half through the night (of what we considered our best night at Burning Man)... Atish takes over the decks with his expressive melodic deep house that sings to the soul while moving the dance floor, communicating the joy of love, the depths of darkness, and intensity of a spiritual dance music journey for himself and our guests.

Enjoy

This is my remastered set from Woop Woop at Burning Man 2017. The party was truly a gift to the community with high praise received by so many who came to our party (old friends, new friends, strangers, passerbys, etc.). Look for more Woop Woop sound in 2018.

3 hours of Seth Troxler in the mix at Closer in Kiev.
Taken from Seth's 15 hour DJ set, that took place on the 23rd November 2019, it finished finally at 3pm. If you were there, you were there.....

Seth Troxler @ Closer - Kiev 23.11.19 (Part 1)

"It was a warm Thursday night and I rode up with my crew to the Mayan Warrior linked up with Robot Heart and couldn’t believe my eyes. 
In 9 years of Burning Man I had never seen so many people at one party. 
I always choose to play just one event during the week at Black Rock, preferring to spend the rest of my days and nights exploring and enjoying all the various levels of this incredible experience without the hassle of running from one party to the next. And preparing for my set around 7am I sensed that this was going to be a magnificent morning. I was a little nervous but I had those good butterflies swirling and as the vermilion hue of the pre-dawn began to rise, I stepped up and played this set that you can listen to now. 
I will never forget it.
Being invited to play the Friday sunrise on both buses was a dream come true and I’d like to thank all the thousands and thousands of people that joined me for this special moment and to the dedicated heroes of the Burn that made it possible. 
Enjoy!"

Damian Lazarus - Mayan Warrior x Robot Heart Tie Up - Burning Man 2019

Lots of the music I have especially been feeling lately. Not very dance floor oriented but can certainly work once dance floors can happen again (given the right time). Hope you all enjoy, please like, share, repost, comment if you do. Happy new years for 2021.
Recorded Dec 27, 2020. Mastering by Keith Stevenson.

Bringing soulful beats to dance floors wherever he goes. Curating musical experiences that make bodies move.

James began DJing because there was a musical expression inside of him that he had to let out. He felt the music he loved so deeply, he wanted to help create that experience for others as well. James has delighted dance floors from the Playa to theaters, from clubs to cabanas, and from intimate gatherings to expansive venues.

James has set the vibe at Pink Mammoth, played the Boulder Theater (on Halloween night!), and been a regular for Daybreaker Colorado. In addition to these events, James has shared the stage with the likes of Justin Martin, Lee Foss, and The Polish Ambassador. James understands from multiple perspectives what it takes to put on epic events having provided and operated the sound equipment for Below Radar. When he plays out, he brings to bear this diverse experience.

James isn't tied to a specific genre of House music; he's tied to his commitment to playing music that he feels deeply. He brings soulful beats to dance floors wherever he goes; curating musical experiences that make bodies move.
