Something Boogie, Something Good - Frolic 2013 Pondside, Camp and Sons

Moody and emotional, this set is a result of an impromptu tag-teaming session at BRA Camp on Friday @ Burning Man 2013 (Cargo Cult), after a difficult group trip to the Temple full of cleansing, mourning, release, and hope.

First, LeftCtrl set off the mood with his signature deep sound, and mixes for the first thirty minutes, then Kem and LeftCtrl bounce around for the next fourty five or so minutes, until finally  Stickybeats finishes off with a smooth ride.

(DJ Set, House, Collaboration) "Packit Sunset Tagteam Sessions by 0FOX1, Kem and Stickybeats"

This set was performed on the Pioneer DDJ-400 which I just acquired. I am pretty impressed with this box. I used all four tracks to mix minimal tracks that go well together. In this set, there is less than 20% of the time that you are listening to just one track. Most of the time you are hearing two or three, sometimes four tracks at the same time.

Frolic Live Set

set I played at Bunny's birthday party on March 1st, 2015. It has many tracks I played before, and some new ones, and some I have never played but had for a long time.  The result is constanting moving set that's easy on the ears and will get your butt moving more than a couple of times :) Leave comments! Repost! Do stuff! Yay, I love stuff! Why? Because reasons. Love for all.

Live at Frolic Campout 2015, Yokayo Ranch, CA

Sunrise set late Saturday night/early Sunday morning. A dancey Nudisco/house/deep/sexy/tech/feel good mix for uplifting and pleasant vibes.



stickybeats: Live @ Frolic Campout 2015 - Yokayo Ranch

9:30 opening set for an incredible campout. It was an awesome way to start a singular evening of music. Was able to explore a bit; tech house, techno, even some fun melodics at the end.  What a great time.

Live at Frolic Campout 2015 - Saturday Night

Had a super fun time playing this set at the campout. I played right before my good friend Dave Simon so I finished with an extra special track just for him. ;)

Live @ Frolic Campout 2015

This is one of the most emotional sets I've ever played. I was scheduled to play at 4am, 2nd to last DJ of the night, while the darkness lifted from the trees and the dawn illuminated faces on the dance floor, my "job" was not to ruin this magical moment, but build something else on top of it. Deep, atmospheric, melancholic, and just generally magical – is how I would describe this set.

This was played on Traktor S4 using all 4 decks: A/B for tracks, C for live input from Native Instruments Massive synth, and D being a sample deck with my own house loops loaded. It is not uncommon to hear 3 and sometimes all 4 decks at once.

(DJ Set) LeftCtrl Live @ Frolic Campout 2015 – Yokayo Ranch

Techno with a spacey, melodic vibe. Assembled on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Recorded in house. Mastered on the surface of Mars. Bring your slippers and a silk robe. It's an experience to be savored.

Frolic 2012 - Willits, CA

I was invited to play at Space Cowboys fundraiser for the "Keep Tahoe Blue" campaign — an event at a local South Lake Tahoe Americal Legion bar, that drew a huge crowd of both locals and SF Bay Area folks. I heard some people even flew out of Florida for that event!

The set was played on the Traktor S5 controller and using the new Traktor Pro 3 software. Three decks were being used most of the time, where Deck C and D were loaded with remix sets made up from some of my favorite minimal techno tracks, adding a deeply punchy techno beat to already high energy house tracks. 
This is why this set will sound like a lot of "boom" :) 

If you listen carefully9, you will probably hear a bunch of tracks off the Whore House label as I am a huge fan of Hoxton Whores.

At some point, I saw people who were sitting by the bar shake their booty in their chairs, and probably spilling their beers :) 

Please leave comments if you listen like it! I would really appreciate it.

Space Cowboys — Shred the Decks

LeftCtrl @ Space Cowboys in South Lake Tahoe

This is a deep, groovy, mildly hypnotic set. It is an hour and a half long journey into the Sunday morning blues as witnessed by yours truly & friends in Nevada on Feb 22, 2020, after everything that could have been said, was already said, and then some. For the time in your life when only music gets through.

Technical info:
The set was mixed on a 4-channel Traktor S5 with two track decks and two remix decks. Mastered in Logic Pro using Fab, Waves and Ozone plugins. 

Loudness: 
-12dB LUFS

Tonality:  
Nearly the entire set was played in A-Minor.

Electro-Swing Houe set played live at Frolic Campout in July 2012. 

LeftCtrl Live at Frolic Pondside, 2012

LeftCtrl —(also known as PolyGroovers, or DJ Zeel, real name: Konstantin Gredeskoul) started DJ-ing in the Bay Area in 1998, having been inspired and encouraged by @djethan Ethan Miller (FnF, BrassTax) among others. 

Konstantin produces downtempo music as PolyGroovers, (see https://soundcloud.com/polygroovers for more information).

Starting with the underground rave parties where he threw down Detroit Techno on vinyl, LeftCtrl played all over the Bay Area, with additional appearances in the UK, Spain, and Australia. 

He collaborated with @kem, Captain Tinrib, @henry-navarro and many more.

LeftCtrl's DJ sets feature a storyline, harmonic depth, and a smooth and deep, melodic, nearly always syncopated and groovy sound. Konstantin is an obsessively technical mixer, who admits to the most anal-retentive pitch-matching of the mixes, resulting in some of his entire sets played in the same key.

Since about. 2020, LeftCtrl refocused on the composition and production of tracks for the dance floor: house, progressive, and many genre bending tracks. Currently collecting sufficient portfolio for the upcoming releases in yet to be determined label.
