Lovely Johnny boy -- starting my day off right!

Do you play shows and have you played in Miami?

That sounds brilliant. Basel is a special time of the year but best to be not missed in the madness. Let me know where you land. I will come out and support.

Does this track have an ID?
Cant find it anywhere

I’ve come to realize how much I love and appreciate the transition between tracks more than individual songs alone. Transitioning in life can be hard at times, living in that transition and blending harmoniously into what’s next is something I always strive for (though don’t always succeed at). Music is a teacher for me that never stops giving me hope and confidence - there’s always a way to create something even while things change and life is on the move.   

I really challenge myself with these mixes, working with different elements of music theory to find the perfect combination between songs and moods. Weaving in more major chords vs strictly all songs in minor chords to create tension and release, layering in vocals to supplement songs that are already well produced on their own.

Excited to share this with everyone. I started this months ago in Santa Cruz while traveling for work, delayed and plagued by a bit of creator’s block and self-doubt that I could ever finish it. It’s come together better than I anticipated, my newest mix and my personal favorite I’ve made yet.  

Enjoy :)

Santa Cruz To Chicago

Music has always had a way of pulling me into the present. I grew up living in Panama and Germany where I was exposed to sounds I’ll cherish forever; salsa, merengue, samba in Latin America in the ’90s, electronic music in Europe in the mid-2000s. That infused with an Americana third culture upbringing abroad, I found my ability to relate to others without speaking. As I dove into the electronic music scene in my early 20’s, music became one of the many ways I learned how to make an impact on the world.

Now as an artist, it’s always been my aim to impart that impact and presentness with others. I’ve experienced so many beautiful moments under a DJ’s spell, completely present-minded and entranced, it’s a goal of mine to give that feeling back. Now in a world full of distractions, giving someone the space to outsmart their smartphone is the best gift of all.
