This is my first ever recording of me practicing with more to come. I've tried many times to post a mix but I constantly got in my own way. With this one, I'm embracing the blips and imperfections and I'm hoping despite that you can feel it give you a warm hug and perk you up <3

An Ode To Asians

It’s Sunday morning, and we’ve all been up since night dancing and celebrating the last Layer05 of the season. There were twists, turns, indescribable sounds, and the dancefloor was teeming with energy. Now, it’s progressively getting brighter. Some have spent hours dancing, and exhaustion is creeping up. Suddenly things feel a bit stiller and silent. You start to see the nuances of the trees, the clouds in the sky, and the river flowing. Though surrounded by water, the land itself was parched, and you could hear the dry leaves rustling through the wind like percussion. 

If you spoke to me at all that night, you would know just how nervous I was. It had been a while since I spun at an event where I could fully express myself. Playing for an audience of discerning ears is both an honour and a large undertaking and I wanted to do it and everyone justice. Not to mention, it was just 30 minutes before my set that I realized I was closing the entire season! I was a bundle of nerves and tensed up when I started my set but as I continued to play, I remembered that these discerning ears also happened to be my friends and community 💕

I debated editing this recording but decided to leave it mainly intact with some EQ boosting (one portion was cleaned up, you can guess where 🤪). The river, the weather, and being immersed in nature all had a strong influence on my setlist as I was prepping, but it the vibes from the organizers, attendees, and other artists that created the magic I felt during my set. A massive THANK YOU to everyone who stayed and gave me a chance, @layer05_ team for trusting me, and all the kind words I heard afterwards. I’m truly honoured to have played and elated that you enjoyed it, so I’m giving y’all the option to hear it again! 

For those of you listening for the first time, expect an explorations of genres and bpms in true LRR style. Starting from 160 with some halftime play I make my way up (or you could argue down) to 90 for some downtempo and bass where I end up in the high 110s.
