Hailing from the UK, Deep Movement has put together a sublime album worthy of his namesake. Introspective offers up eight deep progressive house tracks that are perfect for anything from the dance floor to just listening for pleasure. People still do that right? Just listen to music for the sake of listening to music? If they do, this album is perfect.

Something a little different for ya.  Me at my moodiest.  In more recent years I apply tags to my tracks of different vibes so that I can organize my massive music collection better.  One of the biggest categories is 'Moody.'  

Of course a lot of people going out on Friday and Saturday night to my gigs are out to celebrate, so this category doesn't get as much play live as more funky upbeat rhythms.  As such it's somewhat underrepresented on my Soundcloud.

Well not anymore :). I'm dedicated to releasing more sets this year and I see this one as the start of a series.  Welcome to Ben Annand Moody AF :). 

The opener of this series is an opening set I played on a Sunday night from 9-11pm. It's actually just the first hour, 9-10.  It's ok to be moody when people are settling in :). It was also November just after the time change and loss of light... the beginning of the moody season in Eugene :)

An opening set is always interesting musically (or should be) because you get to start from scratch, and set the tone for the whole night.  So it's always a set that should be played with intention.

In this particular case, I was in a sensitive space because I had taken some really nasty criticism from the organizer of an event recently before.  I won't go into detail but it was very tactlessly and cruelly delivered.  So of course that affected my headspace both in terms of insecurity, and in terms of wanting to deliver a great set since I didn't entirely disagree with the criticism so much as I was hurt by the tone from a supposed friend.

So why am I telling you this?  Because this set is moody as fuck!  It opens with a lush vocal track that really spoke to me when my marriage suddenly went up into smoke. I find this track really intense so I haven't played it much but at home.   

The mix stays deep and moody, gradually building energy then wavering then building.  It's super trippy, a little dark/melancholy for me, but still house and totally danceable of course :)

So with all that said, I hope you enjoy this one and I will keep em coming!

Ben Annand Moody AF Vol 1 (Live at the Big Dirty in Eugene at Secret Sauce)

As sun sets on island's ledge,
Families gather, twilight pledge.
Sky meets sea in hues divine,
Magic afterhour begins to shine.
Twilight's sway, music's guide,
Rhythmic journey, deep inside.
Melodies through salty air,
Join in mystical dance affair.
Laughter echoes, stories told,
Within music, they unfold.
Generations linked, delight,
Under starry blanket's light.
Rhythms pulse like waves ashore,
Guiding spirits to explore.
In twilight's hour, they find grace,
Bound by music's warm embrace.
Night descends, stars ignite,
Carrying enchantment's light.
In music's spell, they've found their way,
In island's bay, family sway.

Up next on Digital diamonds series is SAN MIGUEL. His musical signature is defined by his various interests and influences of his travels through time and space which manifests itself into a soundscape of hypnotic spheres and deep driven basses. Often combined with folkloric elements and a range of organic instruments, his sound weaves unique tales that carries the audience gently and straight into an ecstatic dance experience. He is a master for clashing the styles and shows a deep instinct for timing and suspense as he draws a bow throughout his mixes that will move any dancefloor that thrives on powerful global beats and psychedelic rhythms.

It's been a while since I posted a mix...Several years ago, I was part of a very special night. LOST was an outlet for me to connect with my friends, community, and music on a monthly basis. Started with my best friend Sean Majors, we aimed to create a showcase that made our family the headliners in front of our own community—the people we saw week in and week out at various house nights in Seattle. Being part of this night was the crowning achievement of my almost 3 decade long DJ career. At the end, I felt we told a story with a proper beginning and a heartfelt end, leaving all my artistic energy on the Monkey Loft dancefloor. For those who experienced it, thank you for being part of our family, our commune, our sanctuary.

In the end, I felt that my 27-year journey took its toll on my mind, body and soul. The analogy that comes to me lately is that DJing is akin to human space travel. One can only survive in orbit for so long before the conditions of weightlessness start to deteriorate your body. Playing a great set at Monkey Loft leaves you feeling weightless, on cloud nine, and it's hard to come down to earth due to the levity provided by the energy that rises from the dancefloor. At the end of LOST, I felt it was mandatory to come back to earth, recharge my soul, get in touch with my spirit, and most importantly, give all my energy to my family.

On July 19th, 2024, I had the opportunity to play a set on the Monkey Loft Deck for Space Yacht, the best place to DJ in Seattle. I realized the gravity of the set I was about to play and practiced for weeks on end, knowing that the Monkey Loft dancefloor required my best. This new mix is my live set from that night, and I am very happy with it. Little did I know that it took a Space Yacht to propel my "Return To Orbit." Back to the place I feel most comfortable, DJing in front of my favorite crowd in the world—the Seattle faithful dancers.

Thank you to Tony H. for providing the ship, Seattle for providing the space, and most importantly, my fiancée, Andrea Perez, for giving me the fuel to create this mix.I love you all and look forward to sharing many more dancefloors with you in the years to come.

Love,

Gene Lee

Vykhod Sily Podcast - Grym Guest Mix (3)

I am so incredibly busy with the balance of being a husband, father, full time student and business owner that it seems work and school at times tend to consume me. My focus stays true because I have some of the most amazing local artists here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest to keep my ears content. I whole heartedly give credit to a local legend and Jedi Master, Wesley Holmes, for the track selection. I listen to so many of his mix tapes that I wanted to groom a handful of the tracks he has put to stellar mixes (check them all out please and support him) and create my own selfish mix. So a tip of the hat to you Wes as well as the long list of incredibly talented artists that feed my need on a daily. Here's a link to more of Wesley's body of work. https://soundcloud.com/wesley-holmes
Thanks for giving this a listen as well. Love and light to you all.

JR018 : Brett Starr - Art Official Intelligence (Original Mix) (CLIP) (AVAIL NOW)

I was born an audiophile and have always been listening. When I was a young boy my safety blanket was a pair of old headphones and a gain knob within reach during nap times and still is after over four decades today. Theres nothing more comforting than sub sonic bass frequencies and a bouncing mid range sprinkled with a melodic high end to soothe any and every emotion. When it comes to music and audio in general, it has a way of carrying us off and elevating our spirits every single time we close our eyes and just listen. Tribal rhythm and drums is where it all started for me growing up as a local northwest native american. My tribal roots run deep and I incorporate my heritage into every set I play by layering in ethnomusic percussion, in a sense grounding my sound back to where it all began for me as a child. I am a fan of trippy, weird, spacey sounds and thats probably why I love sound design so much. Every chance I get, I am going to create a soundscape that takes you on an emotional and spiritual journey. I play music in hopes to make an immediate connection with my listener and help them to find ways to make a deeper connection within themselves. Music is my weapon against all of the chaos and animosity in this world that we live in. I hope to only elevate you while you give me your ears.
