Dancing Mandy

This is the mix I was hoping to play on Playa for my 10th Burning Man. But even better — I ended up spending my time with my dearest friends in the world instead. Instead now I get to share it with you!

Trying something new this time, I did a rolling commentary in the comments section, follow along if it suits you. Some songs are old, some new, some borrowed :). I hope in the dark of night and cold of winter this mix will bring you back to that breathtaking moment when the sun rises over the Black Rock Desert.

Playa Sunrise Dream )'(Chill + Prog)'(

I just am so humbled and in love with the Santa Cruz Burners. This Burner Happy Hour was just UHMAZING. So amazing in fact that I played for 2.5 hours straight...something I haven't done in a long time. But we were all dancing and having so much fun I couldn't stop! Thank you for your fire, your joy, your unabashed RADICAL self expression. It's special. I know it, you know it, we both know it. Believe me.

Oh yeah, so here's my set. Encore presentation of some of my favorites from the summer and some new stuff too.

Live @ Burner Happy Hour October (House)

Holding it down for 2+ hours — it was sooooo fun to play such a wide variety of tunes! Thanks to my Santa Cruz dancing maniacs for letting me take you on a wild and sometimes wacky musical journey.

Live @ Burner Happy Hour April 2017 (Deep + Tech + House + Breaks)

Santa Cruz's yearly PreCompression campout, UnSCruz, is totally a hidden gem. But the word's getting out -- we had 1300 people this year... it's growing a LOT! 

I got to play a lot of fabulous music (3 sets!!) at UnSCruz this year, but my favorite really is the ampitheater Sunday afternoon. It's sunny, warm, everyone is tired and happy from the weekend's festivities. I love playing some funky and fun and beautiful tunes for people to pack up to, or procrastinate packing up to :)

Sunday Funday @ UnSCruz 2017 (Tech + Deep House)

An amazing evening with my Santa Cruz House Music Family, celebrating Santa Cruz Decompression! Also the VERY FIRST TIME I've played out a mashup I've created. So so lucky!!

One of my fav Burner Happy Hours I've played...just a joy to tag with nu-disco / house mixmeister Callback Funk. Here's the whole 3.5 hours, warts and all...enjoy!

Dancing Mandy and Callback Funk Live @ Burner Happy Hour June 2018

A beautiful day in the park with my Santa Cruz dance family!

Dancing Mandy Live @ MacroDisco

It was a dark and dusty night in the Black Rock Desert. Where to go for warmth, company, shelter? Ali Bar-Bar of course! Was so fun to start everyone's night off with 2 hours of bouncing house. And SO GREAT to see all my favorite Santa Cruz and Silicon Valley Burners!

Dancing Mandy Live @ Ali Bar Bar Burning Man 2018

My set from Burning Man Decompression San Francisco, 2018 on the one and only Bounce Car. Fun grimey beats, and the most fun I've ever had behind the decks!!

Burning Man Decompression San Francisco 2018

A magical evening at Santa Cruz's spooky and spectacular decompression! So much gratitude and love for my Santa Cruz Burners!

Dancing Mandy Live @ Scales and Tales - Santa Cruz Burning Man Decompression

How lucky and blessed do I feel, to not only be invited to my first Rhythm Society event -- a bay area underground institution since 1995 -- but to be also trusted to DJ such an important time slot -- right after the midnight hour! We had a great hour together on the dance floor, and now I get to share it with you :)
