After 30 years I didn't think Moontribe could reach a new peak, but we absolutely did with our 30 year anniversary Full Moon Gathering! The location was unreal, the weather perfect and the people brought so much love and dance floor energy, I was simply blown away completely! 

Here is my night time Techno set played from 9pm to 11pm on night 2 inside the most beautiful stage structure by Symbiotic Creations in front of a dance floor filled with super charged energy under the big bright full moon!!!

31 Year Anniversary.

Recorded in the California desert / sierra mountains.
With a night of Intense but dance floor friendly sets, a little sunrise chill reset for the day + a dash of organic house and breaks.
Thank you to everyone that joined the gathering this year.  The music was on point from start to finish.

This is the second half of a 4.5 hour set (see Part 1 released separately). Moving into the daylight the tempos gradually slow while more uplifting and hypnotic elements arise. Live in Love

From Dawn To Day December 2024 Full Moon Gathering

Recorded live on the night of the full (blood!) moon in March 2025, somewhere in the Mojave desert.

A slow glide from bumpin techno (while it was still mostly dark) to a sweet instrumental at sunrise, with a jammy, proggy finish. Hope you enjoy!

Jeff Steinmetz, better known by his stage name Kepi, is an American DJ, producer and remixer.  The San Francisco Bay Guardian's "Best of the Bay" readers poll voted his "Kepi & Kat" project "Best Electronic Music Act" in 2006 and 2007.

He has remixed for Danny Howells, collaborated with Desert Dwellers and has had the pleasure to perform on the same bill with friends and favorite artists like Hybrid, Grandmaster Flash, The Crystal Method, Steve Porter, Luke Fair, Rob Garza (Thievery Corporation), Dirty Bird, and so many others making great music.

For 10+ years, he continues to be an active NARAS member, and Grammy voter.  While active in NARAS, he collaborated with the SF chapter to help push forward the addition of what is now the "Best Dance/Electronica Album" category for the Grammys.

He's performed at festivals and clubs across the nation and around the world, from B.E.D. in Miami to the dance music capitol of Ibiza, Spain. Perhaps best known for regular performances at high-profile festivals and clubs such as Love Parade (now LoveFest) in San Francisco, Spundae, Release SF, Lightning in a Bottle, What The Festival, Burning Man and Moontribe.

As a trained musician, Kepi studied electronic music and composition in Minneapolis. A rabid fan of early New York breakdance beats; Kepi caught the bug early and began digging up rare tracks in every record store available. His music collection has been described as deep and genre busting. His unique sound fuses house, remixes, progressive, breaks and tech house into one mesmerizing journey. You may have experienced one of his sunrise sets in front of a Turbosound/Funktion One speaker stack at a full moon gathering – you know who you are. Broadcast nationwide 22,223 miles above earth, Kepi provided regular live sets for XM Satellite Radio “Thump Funk”.

In 2005, Kepi and Kat released their debut EP “Limelight” which immediately charted on the Balance Record Pool. The title track was featured during the launch of the Xbox 360 game “Perfect Dark Zero” and went on to appear on the limited-edition DVD and CD-soundtrack for the award-winning game, garnering world wide exposure.
You can find recent releases on Spotify, Beatport, Apple Music.
