It has been over 3 years since I actually uploaded a mix, & I would like to give an explanation.

Firstly, I did not give up DJ-ing & producing, although for a period of time, the world stopped, & I was definitely more private during those times. I moved tangible aspects of my life forward, including my coding ability & in 2021 home ownership, but as I was advancing, in other aspects I was regressing, one such area being my confidence levels & unwillingness to forgive myself for personal shortcomings. Perhaps being a coder that hyper fixates over all the details especially before launch is an archetype that greatly clashes with me as a DJ, for one can't redeploy a DJ set, especially since I do not have set lists & emphasize mixing by feeling (backed by practice, music theory, & the like).

All while I've been really hard on myself & as I started venturing out again, people showed me overwhelming kindness, encouraged me to upload my sets & share my music... & I really do appreciate this. & the funny part about all of this is that I logically know I am a better DJ now than I was pre 2020, I find myself in a place surrounded by wonderful people, & perhaps it's about time I stop waiting until I achieve levels of near perfection at the edge of infinity.

So anyways, here is one of my (successfully) recorded sets [let's not talk about the times this did not happen] waiting to be uploaded... a morning set which brought me out of my typical comfort zone, that for a number of reasons I felt was a trial of sorts that I passed, where I received positive feedback from someone I really respect & wasn't expecting it from, so even though this wasn't executed with robotic perfection, here is an expression of spontaneity.

2018.08.24 - Radiance - An Opening Reception For Kaliptus At PVAG

I had a question the weekend before this Samhain, & after this set I recorded at Spooktastic, I have my answer: This last year's research of who I am, free of suppression, has been a great success. :)

Just like this mix, I am not perfectly robotic, & there are flaws that I will continue to be critical of in the name of forward progress (especially of that one transition which is an ever reminder to NEVER bend the rule about layering triplets & 16th notes, even if your beat matching is on point & this is done for a calculated 8 measures). However, despite every single instance of having my reality turned upside-down, here I stand, proud & stronger than ever, eager to keep on fighting as the protagonist of my own story. :D

Happy Samhain everyone, I hope you enjoy this mix! ^_^

2018.10.27 - Spooktastic - Midnight Set

We are one week away from Spirit Tribe​'s Native Noise Festival 2019​, & I would like to share with you my recorded set from Dragontribe​'s कायापलट "Kaya Palata" - The Metamorphosis​, which will give you a taste of my range & style spinning live! & here is a live video if you want a behind the scenes look at how I need a towel when spinning lol... https://www.facebook.com/danzerkp/videos/10157460146354054/

& if you'd like to keep reading, I'd like to get personal:

My transition from Danzer to Kyo Uchida had been a big test of who I am on the inside... What I had to let go, what kinds of decisions I have had to make for my own personal progress, accepting myself for my strengths & weaknesses... & at Metamorphosis, I am not just saying, but internally believe, that I am very content with how my story is unfolding...  & of course there is always room to improve, to learn, to be the very best that no one ever was...  But I know I am in a very good place, I have a fantastic journey ahead of me, & I am so thankful for all the people that believe in me, that guide me, that support me...

Thank you, the energy you invest in me will not be in vain! :D

2019.09.14 - Metamorphosis - Closing Set

So where to even begin with this... I get back from an amazing weekend with the most amazing people ever, & I extract the audio recording... & it's unusable... I was devastated... But then I watched the video that I recorded off my phone... & hearing the crowd reaction to this set, I was very inspired... & with a bit of compression & EQ balancing in Logic (because apparently my phone knows how to compensate itself so it doesn't clip), I uploaded this version of my set... Yes, there will be parts where the audio will fade out & fade back in because my phone started a new file (I have 2 hours of continuous video split across 4 files), & yes, you may hear me clicking away as I cue up the next track, & yes, you may hear me talking to myself onstage etc... But this is the set I want to remember that amazing weekend by...  Because it's not just me... It was us... Together, we shared in this experience... & I want to remember this day with the crowd in it, this day when I had the courage to finally play my own track live for the first time (hesitated twice but I finally committed, let's just say I went skydiving the week before & jumping out of a plane was easier to do than me playing that track out) & the reaction to it & now knowing that I am on the right path, that I am progressing & I am excited to continue to grow & in time reach my maximum potential...

Everyone who was there at the Sun Stage that afternoon, thank you so much... You all inspire me to be the very best I can be, & I look forward to more special moments of connection like this in the near future!

2019.09.28 - Native Noise Festival 2019 - Sun Stage

Koi Sound Presents Ott, Cosmal, Shapesift (NYC) was a truly wonderful experience on so many levels... the people, the music, the art, everything! :D Everyone's support of this event is forever appreciated, thank you all so much! <3 & here is my contribution to that night... my first psydub set mixed live in front of an audience & what happens when a psytrance dragon spins psydub! ^_^

https://www.facebook.com/events/866476967056219/

Koi Sound & Cosmal, thank you so much for trusting me with priming the stage for this show... I know that I am on the circuit for psytrance sets, so you taking a chance on me means a lot to me, & I was sure to prepare for this to the best of my ability & do well by the likes of you, Shapesift, Phosphore Visuals, & the legendary Ott. :) I would also like to thank Erin Ludwig, whose artist & song  recommendations in the weeks leading up to that night put me on the right path as I dove deep into researching & expanding my collection of psychedelic dub. :D & of course, thank you everyone who made it early to catch my opening set, for your energy & presence definitely empowered me & helped me get over my onstage anxiety due to this being my debut psydub appearance, & all of your kind words to me after my set... Thank you. <3

The theme of this set was water, in particular, the duality it embodies for me. When initially looking out at bodies of water, I see the sky in its reflection, & it is truly serene. However, if I continue to look deeper, I feel pulled into its depths, & the questions posed to me down there are of intrigue. This set for me was an exercise in accepting both the light & darkness that exists in my personal waters, & to ultimately allow others to see this contrast within me. & based upon the feedback received from my performance that night, perhaps I will open up my inner waters to the public again in the near future...

2019.10.11 - Koi Sound Presents Ott, Cosmal, Shapesift - Psydub Set

Remember, remember, the 5th of November... & the amazing times we had at Ghost Notes's Halloween Homecoming! (the synchronicity is real lol) https://www.facebook.com/163607631144/posts/10157473769031145/

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Around a year and a half ago, I decided that after being free of all the chains surrounding my quarter life crisis, I should just chase my dreams with no apologies, so I bought my own Pioneer DJ practice unit... As I started diving into mixing seriously, I remembered years ago at the Psycheground parties in Sullivan Room listening to Luis Campos talk about DJ-ing, engaging with his sets from the audience, & observing his words in practice... This demonstration of skill & mastery stuck with me all this time, & I can say with confidence that I would not be progressing the way I am now if I did not take in all that he shared with me & everyone... & at Halloween Homecoming, I was able to share the stage with him as Kyo Uchida, & although I still have a long ways to go before I fully realize the goals & standards I set for myself, nights of reunion & connection like this are ones I will never forget, & I am forever grateful.

Happy Aquarius month, & now is the perfect time for an update for 2020! ^_^ (& my DJ set from NYE, perhaps one of the largest highlights for me thus far) 

https://www.facebook.com/danzerkp/videos/10157769912389054/

Last year was an amazing year for growth and progress, not only with the DJ-ing & event support I've been able to undertake, but also being able to get my own personal tracks to my own standards to be played for a live audience, as well as diversifying into the waters of spinning psydub! :D

So what to expect from me as we approach the chinese new year... Well, it's time to work on a lot more music! Of course I will spin when summoned, but nothing can possibly beat when I was able to nail the delivery of my original track at NYE... & well... I want to be the very best that no one ever was! ^_^

I am constantly grateful for all the love & support of so many friends new & old, thank you all so very much for being there for me as I continue forth with my path towards infinite possibilities, & as we enter the year of the rat, let us find great success & may our futures be bright & bountiful! <3
