Live Sets & Promos

Sydney has been dying for the return of dance music events and the response to the We Can Dance show this Easter long weekend has been overwhelming. I'm not able to be there but I have created this mix as a way of supporting the efforts behind the scenes to make it happen. Please show your support on the dancefloor!!

The Saturday show is sold out and and additional show has been scheduled for Good Friday. Get your tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/we-can-dance-2nd-show-tickets-148415927033?fbclid=IwAR3PXEwspuvVw1FBEtve3npAkPDIVHTqsh3k3YWhSkpTXqyUxV0YnXtaD2Q

It's just on 12 months since Covid disrupted the much anticipated Basement Jaxx tour to Australia, which has now been rescheduled for Easter 2022. I look forward to partying with you all there next year. Much love xoxo

We Can Dance - Warm Up Mix

Recorded live at Redwood Tree Disco Round 7 in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. I was on closing duties and played an extended 2 hour set. Thanks to everyone who was there and made it such a special night.

Live @ Redwood Tree Disco #7, Golden Gate Park SF, 2021-08-13

Here is the complete recording of my set from the latest Redwood Tree Disco. It's a unique location nestled amongst the redwood trees in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. This series of parties started during Covid and this was their 10th event - great to be a part of this series and group of people.

I played an earlier set from 9:30-11:30pm which meant I started with some more down tempo tracks and then built into some deeper and more uplifting tunes, with tracks that suit this wonderful location in nature. It is very special to connect with people through music and enjoy these moments together.

I hope you enjoy it.

Please enjoy my set from Wayward at F8 Nightclub, San Francisco. It was a privilege to open this longstanding monthly party run by my DeMentha brother Yaz. Thanks for a great night!

It was a pleasure to play b2b with my friend Sagmo at Wayward at F8 in San Francisco where we had the privilege of playing the closing set from midnight to 2am. Thanks to Yaz for hosting us and to everyone who came along and danced until the end!

Please enjoy this recording from my set on the El Borg Art Car on the burn night from this year's burning man. It's quite an energetic set which really suited the vibe amongst the the fire and noise everywhere. 

Special thanks to Bobwire and Mr Burns from Soon To Be Infamous camp for all the work that went into creating this wonderful car and for giving me the privilege to play. I hope you enjoy it!

Live @ El Borg Art Car, Burning Man, 2024-08-31

I had a fantastic time playing on the DeMentha / Sound Garden stage at the San Francisco Burning Man Decompression. It was a beautiful warm sunny day and there were amazing vibes everywhere, and it felt right to play an uplifting set with a few throwbacks thrown in for good measure. I hope you enjoy it!

Live @ Burning Man SF Decompression, The Great Northern, 2024-10-13

Here is a recording of my closing set at the DeMentha Halloween Party in a private warehouse venue in San Francisco. I landed back in the US only a few hours before my set but on arrival at the venue the DeMentha crowd and our gracious hosts made me feel right at home. The crowd was really up for a dark and dirty Halloween bash which allowed me to play more techno than some of my other sets which I really enjoyed, with some house grooves sprinkled throughout to give a bit of warmth. Bonus points if you know the final track of the night I played during the encore...hint: it's an Australian classic dance track 🇦🇺 🦘

And yes I was dressed as the most iconic Aussie of 2024...the one and only Raygun 😅

Live @ DeMentha Halloween Party, SF, 2024-11-02

Please enjoy this set from DeMentha at Burning Man 2024! DeMentha is an oasis in the playa during the daytime heat, with misting fans to cool you off while you enjoy delicious hand-made mojitos. This was the opening set which starts off with some minimal house grooves before moving into some more uplifting beats. Hope to see you in the dust again in 2025!

Live @ DeMentha, Burning Man, 2024-08-28

Please enjoy this recording of my set from my 40th Birthday at the new venue 200 Channels (part of Monarch) in San Francisco! This was also the soft launch of our new club night FRYTM (stay tuned for upcoming events...).

There was a lot of positive energy in the room that night and this set is a reflection of the vibe I was feeling - warm, uplifting, groovey with lots of subby baseline rollers that got the custom Void sound system purring. It contains a lot of new music that currently inspires me plus a few classic tunes that have been an important part of my musical journey. I also finished with a new edit of mine that I have been working on, which is the first time I ever played a track of mine in a club :) 

Thank you so much to everyone who came along and made it such a fun night! I was absolutely buzzing afterwards and this set brings back many good memories. I hope you can feel it! ❤️
