Recorded live at the Asheville Movement Collective weekly Friday Night Dance on June 7, 2024.

This mix was created with a deep reverence to the Blue Ridge, Smokey Mountains of North Carolina and the music and culture that has been birthed and cultivated there over time.

With awareness that the folk songs of the ancestors in Ireland and Scotland inspired new music such as bluegrass to be cultivated in these very Appalachian Mountains.

I wanted to include this music in the dance set in gratitude. This set is full of electronic versions the originals and remixes of more modern hip hop and house. This remixed series of songs was blended with my personal prayers to these lands. 

My dad played the banjo and I have always been inspired by Appalachian bluegrass and the twang of banjo picking.

I now release this set, as not only was it one of my personal favorite mixes, though also now, at a time when the devastating floods due to Hurricane Helene have affected the entire Asheville and North Carolina communities. This set goes out as a prayer to all those affected as support and healing. 

I didn't post this earlier as there were a couple of DJ imperfections that I didn't like as an artist, so please excuse a couple of messy parts. Hopefully, you won't notice, or perhaps it's not too bad so you can ignore it and enjoy it anyway.

Honoring the musicians and producers I included such as Human Experience, Rising Appalachia, Tropo, and a remix of Petey Pablo's Raise Up.
