Oh man, this just gave me fomo all over again for missing this night! This mix is such a vibe and I would have been dancing up a storm like I did in my kitchen just now!

RedRoom Set - Digital Motion Subculture Saturdays

The Secret Garden at Shambhala was one of the highlights of my life for more than one reason and it comes with a bit of a back story.  

For some of us who live with ADHD, or at least for me, perfectionism is rampant through all aspects of your life but for me it manifests in a pretty intense way when I share my art.  

When I am booked for events, even if it's months before, I become an anxious wreck and start planning what I am going to play with a huge amount of self doubt and heavy criticism.  For some reason when I got booked for Shambhala, a music festival I have been going to on and off since 2001, I think the anxiety of being perfect was too much and I couldn't start preparing for it... my brain just wouldn't let me.  Every time I tried, I went through waves of imposter syndrome, self doubt and had the meanest inner voice bullying me.

The day before I left to go to Shambhala I sat down to prepare after work and instantly started getting the worst migraine of my life, like my brain was being melted.  I couldn't look at the computer and had to go to sleep.  I slept for like 18 hours that night and when I woke up, all my anxiety was gone.  The crushing perfectionism wasn't there anymore and I just knew that whatever I played was going to be fine.

After going all your life with a heavy amount of perfectionism and anxiety, I can't tell you what it feels like to wake up without it.  I cried.

I packed up and without preparation left for Shambhala where I didn't feel anxiety once that whole weekend and still haven't since the event.  The whole weekend was perfect and everything from start to finish just kept flowing and getting better for me.  

My Secret Garden set rolled around and in front of all my friends got to play this set that I feel truly represents me and what I do.  It's not perfect, but I kinda like that now.

I hope you like it as well.

Huge shout out to Byron (@shapestv) for booking me and letting me accomplish a goal I have had since I was a kid.  Thank you.  This weekend was so transformative for me, beyond just playing music, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your support.
