Mixes from friends and others that travel with me on the long drive from my home in Central California to my mother's home in Southern Baja

BMD to Bahia Asuncion and Back

The theme is the end of quarantine, freedom, and new beginnings. This is our most important summer. We wanted to start with the tender energy of dawn out of a long dark night. The mid-set breakbeats represent breaking the chains of quarantine and isolation. Penultimately, Dubtribe's deeply ambivalent Do It Now still inspires a new beginning for us all, on its 20th anniversary. We hope this mix feels as liberating for you as it was for us to make. Perhaps, like birds at dawn.

Halcyon NYE 2022 - Jody Wisternoff Support Set

This sculpted studio set was made for maximum relistenability.  From deep & sexy broken beats through cerebral tech through ecstatic super house, this set is trying to capture the energy of last half of 2013 and the optimism for 2014.  Though most of it came together in one take, we spent weeks replacing some tracks & mixes.  As a result, we can happily say this is one of the best listening pieces we've done in terms of depth, mixing, & harmonics.  And bonus... y'know, you can dance to it :D

Get Lost — Sunset Breaks Mix

Lower your inhibitions for this particular excursion. Come away with DV to another land... where the heat is thick, where the fauna is lush, where the drums are abundant and gyrations are made with vigor.  Anticipate: organic tribal house, global tech, ethnic bass, diversity in tempo.  The only constant here is surprise - and palpable delight.

.:: Thank you for listening and for your support! ::. 

If you like the mix, please drop a comment and send link to a friend. <3

BearSkinRug Live at FnF XXV (OrganicHouse)

Pwny and I spent a good deal of attention to the music selection for our late morning closing set at FnF. We're pretty stoked how it turned out! Straight Swamp Music in all its Deep hues. We were feeling pretty sunshine playful and took it all over the place in search of collecting a bagful of sweat & tears. It goes from badass to silly to tribal to morning epic vibes; we think with a cohesive psychedelic flavor.

We were even able to sneak in our first bona fide track, Swamp Age, at 1:00:00!

Opening quote from Ethan Miller setting it off proper.

Dedicated to my mother, Kathryn Weed, who finally shared a sacred Sunday morning in our 'temple'. My first memory, a music memory, was with my Ma listening to Chuck Mangione "Feels So Good". She remembers it well too, because I apparently said, "Ma, Feeling good". This warm vibe has guided my whole musical life.

Big Mike - Tech Happy Mix - Oct 2011

Live recording! I had the pleasure of playing the midnight slot at the FnF Fall Freak Fest campout just outside Yosemite. Played some tech house bangers in a beautiful setting on a killer sound system (waveworks) and unreal visuals from Radiant Atmospheres. Bit techier than usual for me, but it's still got that kem signature sound and mxing.

Marianas (Seahorse Salad {live mix})

(Live @ FnF Fall Classic 2019)

Trust Fall here with Dulce, approaching an autumn trail down the bouncy path of tech house.  Imagine orange, red, brown leaves all around, as the dramatic intro sets a theatrical tone.  Buckle up and enjoy the roller coaster launch deep into dark rolling basslines, with a splash of tech funk - and a pinch of soul. If you liked the mix from last autumn, you'll love this one even better.  More of the same, except just a bit more gusto.  

(Big massive sloppy wet thank you to the FnF Music Committee, Brad and Waveworks + Radiant Atmospheres, plus every one on that dance floor.  Thank you for the kind privilege. Huge thanks to Sean Murray for the master assist!)

Siopis: The Crosstown Mix Show 006

Cabernet is a full-bodied red wine. Kered's creation definitely tops the list of full-bodied sips, carrying some of the lushest, smoothest yet still groovy vibes. Relax and enjoy the wine brought to you by the Loot Recording boss.

Kered has released music on labels such as Definitive Recordings, Nervous Records, Witty Tunes and ultimately on his own label, Loot Recordings. With a passion for discovering new sounds, Loot Recordings has become a platform for new artists to release their music together with established artists who have become a part of the label’s family.

In the DJ booth, Kered’s sound is all about the dance floor. Armed with a deep arsenal and collection of music, Kered’s sets reflect a deeper, emotional sound that’s combined with peak hour rhythms and some classic favorites. Influenced by early Detroit techno and Chicago house, a typical Kered set knows no boundaries and is weaved together to tell a complete story from start to finish.

Kered's Cabernet has rich notes of his current favorites and showcases selected upcoming releases on Loot Recordings. Thanks for letting us explore your exclusive treasures, Kered, we love it!

Cheers!
The bartenders
