Description: Happiness for your ears from beautiful melodic to dark and dirty techno. Some favourites from parties I played over the summer to some new favourites of mine. Enjoy! :)

It's been a hot minute since I've put a F|S mix out! But as the weather gets warmer, pandemic restrictions are lifting, & there's finally a sense of optimism and genuine stoke about the future in the air, I've been finding myself loving the groovy tunes of house/disco/throwbacks & the like. 

This mix is a collection of tracks intended to create joy – listen while you're hanging out with friends, enjoying the sunshine, starting your day, or just want to get a good dance in. Here's to summer, to returning to dancefloors, and to that moment of pure bliss when you're lost in the sound. Enjoy!

Live from the spectacular Desert Hearts 1 Year Anniversary at La Jolla Indian Reservation in Southern California, this set weaves deep house and tech house over 3 hours plus from 9pm to a little past midnight on the closing night of the festival.

It was an honor to play such an amazing event!  Thanks to the Desert Hearts crew - Kristoff, Mikey Lion, Lee Reynolds, Matt (Marbs), David (Porkchop), Ryan (Deep Jesus), and what must have been 100+ volunteers to make the party all that it was.  I don't think I've ever seen so much art at an event, super impressive feel and vibe around all the art pieces and deco elements present.  Everyone was buzzing about it.  Such excellent organization and signage everywhere, it was really a sight to behold.  Many people were shocked by the high level of production at this event and the only reason I wasn't is that I have been to the 2 prior Desert Hearts events and also collaborated twice with the crew as "Tropical Hearts" - so... I had a feeling about this one :)  My expectations were high, and were still exceeded...

Last I want to thank the DH crew for letting me extend my set in Treavor's absence (his flight from Canada was cancelled) rather than filling in with someone not on the lineup.  I am biased of course but I believe you made the right call :)

LIVE set from Glade Dome Saturday 3pm Glastonbury 2022. Thank you everyone who came and supported me. The dance floor was electric !

LIVE @ Glastonbury - Glade Dome 2022

Celebrating 50 yrs in the most kickass way...surrounded by friends & family who mean everything to me. This was a movement on so many levels...connections revisited and music that evokes emotion.  I was born in the city of Oakland and 50 yrs later, I wanted to throw down in the city of Oakland.  Thank you to all the volunteers and the owners/management team of the Tow Yard for making this event possible.  This was a 12 hr DJ marathon stacked with my favorite artists representing STiRTy like no other.  This set is a perfect reflection of who I am as I take you on a fun journey through some of my genre faves featuring tech house, minimal,  breaks, and indie pop mashups.

Another house mix for your Friday afternoon. Been really enjoying the mixes and I do believe radio is the new twitch, how bout that. 

thanks for the listen and vibes!

I had a short but sweet time at Bug Out Campout 4: Garden of Dreams on day 8 and 9 of my Spring Break roadtrip with my daughter, Cerise.

This set went down at midnight on a pretty frigid desert night, did my best to warm people up with some break and then some techno.  Ok, fine, there's. little house in there too :). Something for everyone, hope you enjoy!

Overall one of my faster sets, starting at 130bpm and creeping up to 132 by the end. 

Many thanks to hosts Neil Bombshelta Black, Jason Deyarmin and Julia Daemia Styczynski for putting together a lovely event ♡

Definite highlight having Cerise bopping around to my breaks - she really has quite the dance moves!  She got cold tho and came and chilled for the rest of my set in back of the DJ booth while I moved more into techno.

Speaking of DJ booth, it was on point and I could hear great!  Sound system was proper for 1000, and decor and visuals were great too.  A lot of care was our into this little party, which of course is close to my heart ♡

Bug Out was intimate and fun!  I wish I had more time there but the time I was there I got to connect with some friends and some new people, all good vibes 🙂

 I hope to be back next year and stay longer- but it also  worked perfectly in this Spring Break adventure this time tbh.

BugOut Breaks And Techno (LIVE In The Mojave Desert 4 - 2-23)

Step into a sonic utopia where rhythms intertwine and beats paint the canvas of a paradise dystopia.  This music mix takes you on a journey through the realms of deep house, sparking the night with its hypnotic cadence. Electro pulses add an electrifying charge to the atmosphere, while minimal tech beats create an avant-garde landscape. Soulful melodies emerge, weaving a tapestry of emotions, and funky house grooves beckon you to dance amidst the utopian chaos.  This is more than a Dj set; it's a curated voyage through the harmonious dissonance of a world where bliss and discord collide in rhythmical splendor. Welcome to the soundscapes of a paradise dystopia.

Paradise Dystopia Mix 2023 live set at the Vault

I was supposed to play the Mystikal Misfits' 90's high school party (aka "Our Parents Are Out Of Town") at Burning Man this year, but I got sidelined by an injured paw. But here is the set-that-might-have-been!

One of my favorite things about soundtracks from 90's teen movies is how they were multi-genre smorgasboards of everything the label/studio was pimping at the time. They'd veer wildly from hip hop to alternative to stadium rock to Brit-pop to whatever the fuck Chumbawumba was. There was something fun and shameless and wonderful about the best of them, and that's what I'm trying to recapture here.

Can't Bearly Wait: A 90's Party Movie Soundtrack

A couple of years ago, I played at an event in Flagstaff called Innerspace. This installment of the event was called InnerDimensions. I really like the Innerspace theme, and it caused me to think deeply about individuality, interrelation, solitude, introspection, and presence. I assembled a batch of music for crafting a heady and introverted journey into the self, a return to source. It was a very memorable event, with a dancing crowd and a great vibe, and we all had fun – but I also encountered some nifty technical difficulties, which disrupted my flow, limited the tracks that I could play, and diminished what I had *really* meant to do - which later got me thinking even more…

There are many substantial interactions and opportunities in life that one must get right the first time, and not so many that can be corrected and crafted over time. What can be accomplished when practice can be made perfect? What if there were as much space and time and understanding as needed to say the right thing at the right time, with a clear message of truth and integrity? What if there were the opportunity to get things right a second or third time? What if more people took the time to learn and understand themselves and others, and saw eye to eye? What could people heal and communicate and accomplish with maximal self-awareness? What if I just remade the Innerspace set with all the music I had wanted to play, and made it into something much more?

This recording is for thinkers, doers, and dreamers. It is for answering one’s own questions and solving one’s own problems. It is for those who value substance over status, actively listen, and don’t look gifts from the heart in the mouth. It is for those who like to go deep within, and hang out there. It is for innovators, collaborators, fine-tuners, forward thinkers, unsung heroes, and lifelong friends.  It is for those who revel in well-crafted music, and well-crafted life. It is for adventurous road trips and dancing around in your living room. It is still flawed, still human - but still precise and specific. It is more as it was meant to be the first time.

Every one of us is an individual, and a continual work in progress. One must know and experience oneself to grow and achieve, with mind in the big picture, eyes on the past, present, and future, and heart in the right place. One has to look deep inside of things to know their true value, and then great gratitude comes.

I've been on a substantial inward journey for a few years now. I recommend it. Massive thanks and love to all friends and family, for being there with and for me over all these years.

Inward

Originally from Sydney, Australia, and resident of Canada, I am a house and techno DJ/producer based in the picturesque town of Whistler.

My music is a fusion of the natural beauty of Whistler and the vibrant energy of the techno genre, resulting in a distinctive blend of organic and electronic elements. I recently released a new EP under Sheppard Records that serves as a testament to my artistic evolution and musical vision. This collection of tracks encapsulates the core of my sound, guiding listeners through intricate soundscapes and pulsating basslines.

Actively engaged in the Whistler music scene, I have lent my DJ skills to bars, clubs, charity events, and have organized and hosted raves under the long lasting name “Community Sound System." These events have become an integral part of the local nightlife.

With a dedication to pushing the boundaries of house and techno, my goal is to craft unforgettable moments on the dance floor, forging a connection with the audience and guiding them through a beautiful sonic journey. I aspire to share my passion for techno and contribute to the thriving music community in Whistler and beyond.
