Planting Heart Seeds - Summer 2020

Sunset beach vibes w/ the 40hz Soundsystem Crew.  

Shoutout to this incredible little party on the banks of the beautiful sturgeon river.  Pups and pals and big beats.  Such a pleasure to play some of my favourite tunes in a sandy paradise.

STACKS ~ 40hz Beach Party Mix 2023

Mix recorded from my performance Thursday evening at Future Forest 2023 
  
For me, music and performance has always been about encouraging people to look outside of themselves, to engage in community, and to recognize the importance of solidarity across race, class, gender .. across borders. 

The mic was not included in this recording, so I am including below the words that I spoke at the beginning of my set. These words came from a place of wanting attendees to start off the festival rooted in respect for place.  For many years I have been an advocate for harm reduction and community care, but respect for the earth is tied into respect for humanity. 

It's all related though, can't you see? The genocide we are currently witnessing in Palestine is an assault against people, culture, and land. We live in a globalized society -- the money we spend, the culture we create, the actions we take, they all have influence around the world.  Many people want their art disconnected from 'politics'.  To me, to be silent, is the most political statement you can make right now. 

-------

I want to unofficially welcome you to the forest, where pleasure and play and a weekend of joy are before us.  
But I also want to welcome you to this forest, where the birds and the trees and the river and the breeze have been here long before us. 

We are nestled and nurtured by this ecosystem
the branches shelter you
the roots carry you
the river soothes you
will this sway the things that you do?

step softly, tread lightly
I encourage you to allow yourself to feel spritely
and to be aware of the ways you leave your impact here
on the river bank, on the soil, on this place we hold so dear

and maybe you will begin to allow yourself to be impacted
can you feel the river running through your veins?
can you hear the whisper of the leaves summoning you?
will this sway the things that you do? 

because this forest is not yours or mine
it has been bought and sold but it's roots are far too old
for these capitalist schemes
I want to challenge you to dream new dreams

dream. new. dreams.
where care and nurturance are built into the seams
dreams with tendrils that sprawl through time and space
into your daily lives, where they are etched on your face

don't let these few days be the pinnacle of it all
can you hear the rallying call?
in a world so bent on destruction
what can we build?
what can we create?
we can't leave the end of this story just up to fate
because who keeps us safe? 
we do. 
and that includes our forest kin too

Future Forest - 2023

hibernation, slowness, feeling.  

over the past year I found myself being pulled to sounds that meandered into my lungs.  Across bpms and genres, it wasn't about the style but rather about the feeling.   I ended up playing some lounge sets and markets and art jams, and this vibe kept appearing.  

these are some fav tunes from those times.  A longer mix is incoming with more of this theme, but here is this little miniature for now.

Nausikaa - Live at Future Forest 2019

BOO. 

Let's be honest.  The world is a little frightening right now.  
So this one is for all my dance floor dwellers.  I see you.  Casting spells with your movements, creating synergy in your step.  You're energy is immense and powerful. 

Let's take that energy off the dance floor as well.  Into our communities.  Creating the change needed.  Challenging systems of power.  Questioning the decisions made by those with immense privilege, listening to the voices of those who usually get spoken over.  Working together to create that change, so we have something we can really celebrate about. 

Shoutout to Home Bass for creating the platform for mixes like this to emerge from <3

Featuring tunes by: @saamba, @filastine, @grrrreatdane, @ivylab, @sa-rocofficial, @sampa-tembo, @abstraktsonance, @hebbe-versteegh
