The SEND IT Mix

I was feel energized and inspired after returning from a month long trip only to get sick with Covid from the plane flight. Sick, bored, stir crazy but still feeling inspired (at times), I managed to throw together this mix with all my free time stuck in the house on isolation. Went digging for a bunch of my spacey/dark slower tracks with a nice chug to them. Loungey space funk is a nice description. Funktronica is another (apparently that's an actual music genre). This mix is great for kicking back, maybe grabbing a drink or having a smoke, and lounging out for the next hour. Enjoy!

Thorson Live at The Breakfast Club 2025

Played a b2b set with my friend Shaner at the annual Shameless Summer retreat on a property in the beautiful North Cascade Mountains last month. We were slotted for a summer afternoon set on the river stage of the event. Big We leaned heavily into poolside/dayvibes for this one, starting around 110 BPM and eventually ending in low 120s. Was a perfect summer weekend! A huge thank you to the Shameless Fam for inviting us to play. A great mix for a sunny day or if you need a sunny boost on a winter day. 

Tracklist coming soon

Elkton Porch Burn Mix

This is a sunrise mix I made at a crew gathering at the base of beautiful Mt. Hood in Oregon. The mix starts around 5:00 am with the sun rising around 5:30. Only a few people were up and awake with me when I played but I got a lot of satisfaction knowing I was playing in peoples dreams while they slept in the tent village near by. I managed to raise my partner Claire from her tent halfway through the set, where she took this picture. I really like how the recording turned out, I hope you enjoy it!
