what a groove! love that feedback.  track id?

This one is my first new mix in over a year and a half; it's dedicated to what has become my favourite musical space: expansive, melodic, spacious and weighty dubwise/dubtechno music. Starting at around 112 bpm and ending at 160 over the course of almost 2 and a half hours, this is a mix I'd been meaning to put together for some time now and I'm so happy to share it now. As always, listen on some quality speakers or headphones; this sort of music especially benefits from proper low end as you know.

Recorded in Serato on two Technics 1200s, a Rane 72MKII and with live dubbing on a Benidub dub siren and Roland space echo pedal.

04.21 Footnotes in Dub

This week, I have found myself struggling with self-regulation. I decided to share an episode of a weekly show that airs on Kootenay Co-op Radio called The Tea.  Brew a pot, and listen to some0 soothing down tempo  tunes with me. We play the host, Caro a lot around here. You can get their digital album, Lowlands here: https://limbotapes.bandcamp.com/album/lowlands

The Sanctuary. Ep 34. Featuring an episode of Kootenay Co-op's The Tea!

last night I streamed some of my favorite ambient/downtempo songs I played on Twitch over 2021; 
enjoy..!

tracklist too long for character count:

delic.ate space vol3 // 2021 AMBIENT MIX

Happy full Wolf moon in Cancer friends.  ❤ ❤ ❤
I’ve posted a collection of music that is very special to me to coincide with this auspicious occasion.  

It’s been such a year of grief and loss for many of us. Death has come closer to me than ever before.  I’ve been deeply affected by the passing of some dearly beloved beings and continue to attempt to come to terms with the understanding that we will all eventually have to say goodbye to one another.  

I’ve called this set Key To A Memory. it’s about grieving and remembering and the marks we make on each other. The things that remind us of what is gone.  It’s about the intricate tapestry our lives weave together. It’s about the bitterness of accepting loss. It’s about the release of letting go.  It’s about cherishing the time we’ve been given and returning to gratitude.  Embracing death and celebrating life. 

Compiled and arranged in the deep winter months on the Sunshine Coast in BC. the dark and gloom are palpable. Though i hear a hint of spring in there at times as well. like seeds buried in the snow dreaming of the sun.


I know I take myself pretty seriously sometimes. It is just a DJ mix after all haha. Yet these songs mean a lot to me and the feelings they convey help me move through these moments with all the grace I can.  I hope that you will enjoy.  LOVE ALWAYS 


Xx dee

Key To A Memory

KEY TO A MEMORY

An ode to nostalgia. An ode to all that inspires life in you.
recorded on 02/22/2222

“it's too nice to just have your thoughts float in the space of your head 
endlessly forever 

and you don't have to decide 
which 
you focus on 
unless you want to 

i got a stone to skip 
6 times across the water 
on the river i grew up 
by 

now i like 
to get the heaviest 
rocks 
and the lightest 
ones 
and drop them in the river 
to see which 
sink 
most beautifully 

I have no interest 
in saying the right thing anymore 

just the true thing "

"Art is not about you or I, it is about connection, it is about embracing everything, because everything is everything"

The Tea w/ Caro live on B.Side Radio 10.24.22

late winter moods from the northwest
i put this set together to play on THE TEA with Caro and our session was postponed for the wind and snow and storm. felt like this one wanted to make it's way out into the world sooner than our rescheduled date so here we are. a collection of ambient, dubs, and moody downtempo beats. i called it dream sequence because it feels like that to me these days....

Thank you Caro for the invitation that initiated this.

happy Pisces season
