When the pandemic hit, and we were all sheltering in place, some of us continued our dance events online. We used Zoom, Twitch, and Discord for this event called Alter-Ego, where we were encouraged to attend as our alter ego. I offered to play The Dark Room, and dragged out my favorite goth and industrial music from my Bondage-A-Go-Go days. It was my first time live streaming, and it was very technically challenging. I wasn't able to mix or beat-match as I usually do, but these are some of my favorite tracks from those genres, and people really enjoyed it!

This is a clip from a set I played at a Halloween party at Radiance in Oakland, 2013. Not sure why I didn't post this set, but it was one of my favorites. It was my tribute to the honorable Martin Luther King Jr.  His speech "The Promised Land" was given on April 3, 1968, the day before he was assassinated.

I was Music Lead for the Eclectic Room at Cabaret Reverie where we were set up like a Cabaret club with live performances. Our room theme was: Dreams of the Present- Experience a psychedelic speakeasy, where you are invited to be in the present and the presence and flow of eclectic grooves, performances by dreamy aerialists and whimsical dance, to fill your senses and enjoy the moment while you sip on your mocktail. Revel in the now! 

I chose music to dance to, including music that evokes pleasure and dreamlike qualities. Playing for our aerialists was a special treat!

We went back in time to the 1990's. This is the music I was dancing to in the late 90s. It's fun going back to those days.

I was so sick when I played this gig, but it turned out pretty good. This is the original recording. I felt moved to bring music written and produced by friends in community. See if you can guess which ones! :)

This was the first DJ set of a long hot weekend at Camp n Sons, a beautiful garden and campground for private events. RS celebrated the solstice here. I dedicated my set to MJ, dear friend, housemate, Church of "Soulmate". She took her life on June 9, and it's been hard to find words to describe how I feel  One thing I can do is celebrate her life and love of the dance with music. So here's some happy music to celebrate the life of a vibrant, talented, gifted, creative, kind, generous soul who graced our lived for awhile on this planet.  Bless you dear MJ.

Played the final set in the chill room (2:45 am) at Rhythm Society's Winter ANDC, ReCreate. Incredible production, I wish I could replicate the visuals in the chill room for you as well... so beautiful! The set starts off with some downtempo/ambient beats then evolves into some instrumentals, vocals, and electronic vibes.

I had the pleasure of playing in the chill space for an amazing all night event. The room was decorated Moroccan style, and I chose music to fit that theme. It was earlier in the night, and several people were dancing. that was fun!
