Description: This is a silly start to a growing passion... <3

I'm honestly still smiling from this one. I ticked off a bucket list item and played on a mutant vehicle at AfrikaBurn this year. I'd been working on this mix for a couple of months and wasn’t sure where I was going to play it—but this turned out to be the perfect time and place: in the middle of the desert on a Friday night.

It starts off with some groovy, high-energy Indie Dance, then transitions into driving, rolling bass for peak time, building toward an incredible track by Vakabular called THE END. It all wraps up with a euphoric left-turn closer: Milestones by Budakid—a track I’ve been dying to drop in a mix since the very first day I heard it.

Enjoy ❤️

JULES - Spikey AfrikaBurn 2025 Friday 10pm

2AM. 
I'm standing inside a Prism shaped dj booth, on a slightly raised stage...in the middle of the dancefloor.  I'm surounded by gems of humans on the dancefloor and in the booth.  Everyone is here to just a have a good time! The people on the floors were the composers of this set.  Their energy made me choose the tracks as we dance further into the morning.  Friends come say and have a boogie.  Smiles everywhere, life is good!  

Thank you to every soul that danced with me.  It was an absolute honor!

WhyNot Bonjuk Bay Reunion 2025 Summer

The season opening for our beloved Hot Situations. Season 7 with over 450 guests, for another memorable day into night. We were celebrating two very special birthdays: Laura Mashas Byrnes and Alaya Durusel (one of our co-founders behind it all!). Two incredible humans that I count myself oh so lucky to have as dear friends. Happy birthday again <3

This is my 2 hour set playing at sunset. I was able to move around and play across sub-genres, which is always my favorite thing to do. Probably one of my favorite sets musically of the past year :) Hope you enjoy!

As always, thanks for all the production team for putting together such a beautiful space for us all.

This is my Sunday morning set from a London Decom afterparty - Embrace The Chaos - organised by Celtic Chaos, a Burning Man music camp and a collective from Ireland. Big ups to the whole crew for putting it together, it was one hell of a ride, and to fellow DJs and dancers for delivering the vibez! 🧨🧨🧨

This is a silly start to a growing passion... <3

Playing Around

My deep passion for music began when I first discovered the power of sound and vibration as a tool that can change lives through healing and transforming its listeners. Being capable of leading people to heightened, multi-dimensional experiences, bringing people together, inspiring creativity, reflection and beyond - this is where my unfeigned love for sound lies.

My desire is to create a musical journey for you to lose yourself in and enjoy everything it evokes within you. x
