I am Ukraine. Or least my grandmother was.

Other than heritage, I don't have a direct connection to the land, language, or people. When the invasion began, Ukraine was on my mind constantly. This track started as something else in late 2021, but as the invasion continued, musical ideas formed from the news I was absorbing, and what I could only imagine the Ukraine people are experiencing.

There is a single synth, affectionately referred to as the "wobble" in the project file, that is the solo instrument in the track. It doesn't move much in pitch, and instead it uses rhythm and oscillation to dance and fight through the soundscape. It evolves as you listen, telling a story. Whatever story you hear, understand that this is a song of hope.

Special thanks to the Ukraine soldiers of Snake Island for their very important contribution to this track.

What an epic way to call in clarity for 2023! At a party called VISION!  I didn't record my set, but I did record my run through, and here it is!  It feels amazing to connect with music and to dance and thats what this mix is all about. I have Eternal gratitude for all my listeners and the abundance of amazing sounds in my life.

Vision 2023 NY @ The North Warehouse

One of the first local burning man fundraiser parties I attended in BC was Winter is Coming II (in 2014!)and the subsequent parties have consistently been one of my brightest nights of the long, grey winters here. What an absolute pleasure to be able to play this sixth edition of Winter is Coming as we come out the other side of the dark night that is the pandemic. 

This set starts off with an extra special deep house track featuring vocals by my dear friend Emily M. Cheung and ends on a rather epic dance music note, courtesy of the ACRAZE remix of one of my favourite Sam Smith tracks ever. Moody and dark, moving into energetic and sassy; probably perfect for your pre-party prep or just a warm up to an epic dance sesh at home. Enjoy!

Recorded live on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Skwxwú7mesh, S’ólh, and səlilwətaɬ peoples with deep gratitude to the Black and queer roots of house music.

Wow! What I thought would be a quick hour-long closing set turned into a four hour marathon that carried us through to the afterhours, and even outlasted the battery of one of my laptops.  With so much time to play different styles, I even had a chance to drop in some favorites from a new genre I've been listening to, Amapiano

This Side Up

RVH @ This Side Up

Deep Tech State is simply a classification. This audio creation was initiated to offer solutions that address the need or desire for something “different” within the current audio spectrum. The challenges presented required significant time and resources before achieving a successful outcome.

Once this state was established, it resulted in a harmonious resonance—bringing enjoyment to creators and users alike. The recorded energy outputs were substantial, exceeding all initial projections. This achievement necessitated the development of new algorithms and the creation of a unique unit of measurement to quantify the overall outputs.

As such, the primary risk associated with the Deep Tech State is technical, while its commercial risk is considered minimal. This is largely due to its apparent value as an audio-based solution to societal needs, with music and dance serving as its primary modes of dissemination and expression. Whether driven physically or mentally, enlightenment begins as soon as one presses “PLAY.”

The underlying scientific and engineering challenges this Deep Tech State addresses yield valuable individual outputs that are difficult to replicate outside their intended environment.

JS2 (J. Splat and Daemia) recorded this little mix as a practice session for a pool party at Contact located at the Miracle Springs Resort and Spa in Desert Hot Springs from June 29th-July 1st, 2018. Special thanks to Red Sonya, Alien Tom and the Native Alien crew for having us at this magical event! 

We received our timeslot shortly before leaving the house on Friday 6-29-18, so we were excited to explore this deeper and sexier side of our wide range of electronic styles for our upcoming 11am Sunday set! 

So grab a towel or yoga mat, some sunscreen, and an ice cold beverage and think thoughts of gratitude for the warm summertime existence, preferably near a healing body of water and some palm trees and soothe your soul with some vitamin D3 and these poolside Sunsonic Salutations! House music = Positive Vibes!

Recorded live on June 29th on XDJ1000 MK2's and a Pioneer DJM-600 mixer. Raw and unedited. No sync!
