Captured under sunny skies at Love Long Beach Festival 2025 in California, this set on the Subtract Stage was one for the books. The sound and production were flawless, and the energy on the dance floor was unforgettable. I played on Saturday from 4:00–5:30 PM, following Greg Matthew and leading into Desert Dwellers, Tim Green, and Anton Tumas.

The set features a blend of released and unreleased tracks of mine, including collaborations,  music from my label Sound of Symmetry, and gems from some incredible artists, - all listed below.

I hope you enjoy the journey!

The return of VANDER!

We are proud to call VANDER family for almost a decade now. From being part of our core team, to rising talent, to rockstar DJ closing sets at The Monastery and beyond.

When his roots called him back home to the Dominican Republic, we always knew he’d return one day, one way or another. And so he did.

On Saturday, July 19, VANDER closed the Sandstage with such sass and glory, it felt as if this super talent had never left. Once family, always family.

Have a listen and show some love!
We think it’s an AWESOME SET — let’s get ready for the weeeeekend! 🎶✨

The Goldcast 143 (Sep 19, 2025) with guestmix by Laroz

Welcome to this new RISE Breathwork journey which I created to help you slow down, reconnect, and rest into the deep stillness within ourselves. These sessions are dedicated to shift your state of being so you can rise to your full potential!

In the noise of daily life, it’s easy to forget that beneath the surface, there is always a calm, peaceful presence waiting for us. This session is designed to guide you back to that inner space the space between.

It is my mission is to make transformation accessible and help you integrate breathwork in to your day to day life. This is a reminder to all of us that peace is never outside, but always available within. In this practice, you’ll move through cycles of conscious connected breathing (activation) and retentions (relaxation), carried by one of my all-time favorite tracks: Azul. 

What to expect in this session:
• 15-minute guided breathwork journey
• Three cycles designed to connect you to stillness and peace
• Soundscape featuring Azul 
• A practice for calming the mind and connecting to yourself
• Accessible to all levels — no prior experience required

Wearing headphones is highly recommended — they help you stay in your own bubble and fully immerse without outside distractions.

You can do this session sitting or lying down in a comfortable, undisturbed space.
