Banging it out saturday night on the main stage at FnF Campout, tech-house to move your body to. Recorded live from Saratoga Springs on 7-27-13.

Live @ FnF Campout XVII (2013)

So good to be back at the FNF campout, we lost two years to covid and one year to fire but we showed we still know how to throw a hell of a campout. Sound, lights, and the vibe were through the roof, join me in this 2:30am journey from the main stage.

Bassline-driven house is the name of the game with this peak-hour banger. This is my favorite event to play every year and this time did not disappoint!

Recorded live at FnF Campout 2023 in Northern California. 12:30am set mainstage.

Deep house/Nu Disco set I recorded for fun, turned out pretty good, lots of tracks I love. Give it a listen.

Traffic

My set from this years Rhythm Society campout.

Set from Tribe 2014 (RS Campout)

Had a super fun time playing this set at the campout. I played right before my good friend Dave Simon so I finished with an extra special track just for him. ;)

I had the pleasure to play a peak slot for the Rhythm Society at their ANDC event. It was a fabulous event with a great crowd. The journey goes from pumpin' house to grooving tech house, I hope you enjoy this journey!

With no eclipse to view on a foggy Oakland morning I decided to play some newer tracks and hit record. Hope you enjoy this eclipse day mix!

Eclipse

Enjoy this set, it's a collection of amazing material I played at the distrikt event at the midway and a rocking RS day party. Neither set was recorded so I've created this best of mix to tantalize your eardrums.

You've been warned, this mix contains a lot of #heaters

Rise

Peak-hour house tunes that are dy-no-mite!!! Driving basslines, classic stylings, old skool vocals, all mixed in kem's signature style. A nice collection of material I've really enjoyed playing at gigs in 2018.

Dynamite

Live recording! I had the pleasure of playing the midnight slot at the FnF Fall Freak Fest campout just outside Yosemite. Played some tech house bangers in a beautiful setting on a killer sound system (waveworks) and unreal visuals from Radiant Atmospheres. Bit techier than usual for me, but it's still got that kem signature sound and mxing.

Brass tax always throws down excellent events and it's an honor to play the premiere after-party for the after-party in San Francisco, Supper of Survivors. Only the hardcore survive. This set is comprised of almost all new material (played two classics for good measure), and it was mega-fun to play. Had the time of my life, hope you like it as much it was to play.

Friends n' Family campout XXIII
What an honor to headline Saturday night 1:45-3am at the biggest baddest campout event on the west coast that's 100% volunteer and community led. 700 people at Saratoga Springs with mind-blowing visuals from Radiant Atmospheres and next level sound from know:audio.

10 years of frolic campout! Such a momentous occasion required a set to match. Saturday night (technically sun am) 12:15-1:30am @ Saratoga Springs Aug 2-4. Blasting off on the insane waveworks sound system meant the basslines had to hit hard, the culmination of ten years of putting on a bespoke event with the best vibe required the right sounds. Hope you enjoy the set, mostly tech-house with some fun bouncier house thrown in.

This is a really special set for me, every fnf event happens because of amazing volunteers, people who step up to make the event happen. I was fortunate to play a role in certain areas that are dear to my heart. I put a lot into it, and it put a lot back into me.

Blasting tech-house with soul is what in store for you!
