Starlight Thursdays Episode 188 featuring PARRIS. Let’s give him a warm welcome to the series. It’s always exciting to feature a DJ we haven’t before. He has an amazing mixing style and I just can’t get enough of it. I’m sure you guys will enjoy digging into this one. 

What’s your DJ name? - PARRIS, its my last name

How long have you been DJing? - About 15 years. Although I took a 3 year break and came back to it in July of 2022.

Why did you get into it? - I was working at a bar and I had a friend that was a DJ who told me he thought I had good taste in music and that I should give it a shot. So after he would DJ at the bar, we would after party at his house and I learned on Serato using control vinyl and Tech 12’s. I instantly fell in love with it and bought myself a DJ controller. It was a Vestax VCI-300 if I remember right. With an FX processor. At the same time I was doing security for Music Lives Here shows and got to play my first shows with them.

What events have you played? - I’ve played many of the Music Lives Here events around the state as well as most of the bars in downtown Bozeman. Pirate Party always stands out, but lots of other festivals. As of late, I’ve been playing at the Zebra in downtown Bozeman. In Fact, my next live gig is there, Dec 16th, with Red Velvet and Forrest.

Where do you live? - I live in a very small town on the Rocky Mountain front called Choteau. I’m only here until next spring and then I’ll probably
move to Helena. Its very quiet in Choteau. I don’t have a lot of friends here, so I’ve turned to artistry and creativity with all my free time. I work with music and wood.

Where are you from originally? - It’s hard to say. I grew up moving around a lot. My dad was in the Navy, so I spent a lot of time in San Diego. He was a recruiter in Missoula for 4 years though, and when he retired, we moved outside of Great Falls, MT. I was 16 at the time. So I finished school in Montana before going into the military myself.

What inspires you to DJ? - Music is magical. It can alter your mood.pDistract you from things. If you make music, you can be creative with it. I’m not great at producing music yet, but I’m a great DJ. So finding, ordering, manipulating, and blending songs together allows me to unleash the greatness within. I like to think we all have at least one thing we’re good at, mine is DJing. That might sound a little vain or egotistical,
but I have a lot of practice at something I’m passionate about, and I feel the time I put into a mix really shines through.

What inspires you about electronic music culture? - This will probably date me a bit, but the idea of PLUR was always very appealing to me. Especially the Unity. I feel I just fit in with the people that enjoy EDM culture. I think we all search for a sense of belonging and that’s where I found it.

What Genres are in your mix? - This mix is House, Bass House, and Tech House. But I mix all kinds of music. My favorite mix on my Soundcloud is called, Decompression Session. It’s mostly late 90’s trip hop with a little pop sprinkled in. Its super chill.

A few words about your mix? - I put hours into this mix. It’s about as flawless as I can make something sound. I hope you enjoy it. My favorite song in the mix is at 28:37, Diplo & Walker & Royce Feat. Channel Tres - Diamond Therapy. I like the feel of Hip Hop with a House beat. I have a few songs in the mix that are like that. And my favorite transition starts at 40:42. I just really like the way the phrasing of the two songs lined up
perfectly in the mix.

Ep 188 - PARRIS - House Mix - Starlight Thursdays Episode 188

On October 28th, Angelika has been called for the first time up North on Vancouver Island, at this private event beside of some Djs very well known in British Columbia as Sleeper Agent (Sleepy & Agent Hooper). 

This set has a nice blend of melodic genres and has been performed with live vocal but ... not in this recording! Curious about what I am doing as live singer and songwriter? Give a listen to my last post on FB 》Jennyfer CN where I covered Robert Miles - Children (Tinlicker edit mix), lyrics inspired by the grandiose classic, original and unreleased song.

Cheers!
Bon ecoute!

Ecstatic Dance

Ecstatic Dance U.k - Bumpy Road

Second annual Caravan residency showcase held at our (current) home venue Cherry (Kremwerk Complex, Seattle, Wa). 

  Debuting with Caravan as a fresh resident & opening the show was « DJ Libbi » with unique American Indigenous cuts & fire southeast hip hop, trap & dub swagger. I came on for the second set of the night, getting the vibe raised up & locked in for what's to come. 

  In headlining position was a talented Seattle staple, « DJ B.Fly » with her take on world sounds DnB & a variety of breaks. It was wicked. Closing out the journey was the one and only                                              Caravan « Black Velveteen » with a no funny business house set chalk full of afrohouse & world beats with authority & ease.

Caravan Resident Showcase Seattle 2024 (Cherry, Seattle)

Around the Sun with Dr. Shark

Played at 3am, on the beach of West Auckland New Zealand.  This set marks a change in the style of music I wanted to share. 
On the back of an amazing Festival season, I was inspired by the techno, melodic or minimal tech and progressive songs I listened to. 
It brings for me a lot more deep emotions and intensity to the set. 

I hope you will enjoy the journey.

With love

·~·Performing underground and at club events in Seattle, LacyNew might have you in a meditative state or stomping your feet. She strives to invoke an imaginative journey in the mind and movement of the body with as much variety as life itself; through a range of organic, tribal house and variety breaks. What is admired about her most is her fearless approach to jumping between genres.·~·
·~··~··~· ·~··~··~· ·~··~··~·
·~·"Connecting to the people around me via sound waves and dance became an intoxicating experience. Thus, came a drive to present quality mixes that encompass the many energies that make up my life and the people that play different roles. Music is one of the earliest and most tribal forms of communication, which is why I gravitate to earthy tones, contrasting instrumentals and multi-lingual vocals. Naturally, connecting with a range of organic house and worldly breaks.·~·
·~··~··~· ·~··~··~· ·~··~··~· ·~··~··~·
 ·~·The vision to create opportunity for tangible change & undeniable connection comes from within, but is continuously interchangeable throughout the community. The desire to inspire comes from within, but is ultimately cultivated from the collective. For any given set, from start to finish these sounds represent the people in front of me.·~·
·~··~··~· ·~··~··~· ·~··~··~· ·~··~··~· ·~··~··~·
·~·Tracks are gathered across the genres from artists such as; Tebra, Jean Vayat, Kerem Gell, Bharamji, Wassim Younes, CloZee, Peace Sine & Nextro. And labels such as; Cafe De Anatolia, DistroKid, Lump Records, Gravitas Recordings, Shango Records, George V Records & Stil Vor Talent.·~·
