Time On My Side

Relish festival holds a deep place in my heart and this year was the most special for me personally and professionally. 
I felt loved and held and healed by everyone there, I hope that some of this comes across in this music.
Relish I love you!!

Dj set 4 Relish Festival 2023

If you thought the Kiwis were a friendly, genial bunch then think again, The Wild Army has gone down under to rob, steal, conquer and plunder.

Max Maxwell's Always Right In goes in with some bouncing big room house made to be heard on a big rig. Squelching bass, spoken word, smooth production and a breakdown for peak time as the delayed synths wonk out.

Marcos Alonso's remix ups the wobble and squelch but makes it a more heads-down affair. Proper nailed down, deep house music that delivers.

Marcos Alonso's 'Future', is full of  energetic bass that grounds the music in a rhythmic foundation, propelled forward by haunting pianos that touch on melancholy. Playful samples injecting a sense of whimsy and unpredictability in to the mix. Together this creates an experience that is both captivating and evocative.

Future

Marcos Alonso - Future

Self-described as music to drink to, @mermaid-bait smear themselves across almost anything from punk, indie rock, blues, and lo-fi. Always approachable like a skirt worn to the mid-thigh, capable of almost anything but not too dangerous, this band of merry musicians can’t help but put a smile on your face and a spring in your step. In that spirit, @marcosalonsomusic remix of Beggin Dog is a downtempo jaunty jive. Brimming with fun, it never steers the boat too far from the shores of its origin's namesake. Fully endorsed and completely road-tested, we are sure you will enjoy it as much as we do.

Paths chosen by instinct rather than command. Silent laws and forgotten truths that shape our existence.
Moment by moment the future unfolds and becomes now.

Unwritten Rules

Marcos Alonso - Unwritten Rules

The Disco Devils ruled the streets after dark, their neon roller blades flashing as they weaved through the city like a pack of renegade outlaws.

With gritty basslines pumping, they carved up sidewalks and alleyways, daring anyone to challenge their reign over the asphalt.

But beneath their flashy moves and wild stunts, the Disco Devils had one unspoken rule: loyalty to the disco always came first, no matter how dangerous the game got.

I played a fantastic festival called Cascadia this past weekend. So many talented, amazing, beautiful, generous, and far out heads gathered up in the mountains above Granite Falls, Washington and connected. I don't really have words to describe how amazing it was, but swimming in the river, the mud pool, the swimming hole, the perfect sound systems, the wonderful music, the delicious food, the stars, the rain, the sun, and the dancing! The dancing may have been the best.

I hosted a Play Live! Seminar and then brought my things over to the Forest stage backstage area with Tait, and we walked in on Megan having an awkward moment with the fabric meant to stretch around the table for my spaceship to play live on.
She was worried about a section of the fabric which was the other way around - shiny side up. We smiled, and assured her it wasn't important.
But Megan actually made like she was going to rip up the fabric and flip it around to make it "perfect."
Tait and I stopped her and explained that it was dark, and there was no way anyone would be like "Oh dude, look at the table cloth and that weird shiny patch!"
So we agreed that it was already perfect, and I joked about writing a song called "Shiny Tablecloth" and playing it that night in my set.
I did.
When Tait heard the words I had looped and mangled as they slowly became untangled he laughed so hard he fell out of his chair.
People were all "Dude, are you ok?"
Well... sadly Megan missed this moment. So I spent some of today playing it live into my reel to reel deck until I got a mix I was happy with, and here it is.

This is for you, with love, from me.
Enjoy it, have fun, and don't sweat the things that don't matter at all. "Perfection" is a state of fear... even a diamond is made more beautiful by it's flaws. Perfect is being in the present tense, as often as we can be. Here and now.
I love you.

But arguably the biggest draw here is the video; a fan-sourced Legotography project depicting lego minifigures in real-life social-distancing scenarios. The photos and videos, submitted from all over the world, were edited together by legendary film and video editor Bob Jenkis (Michael Jackson, Madonna, Chris Isaak) and will be go live on the release date; October 16th.

The Scumfrog about the project: "Sure, my quarantine is very comfortable and spacious, but it does evoke thoughts and emotions that I see resonate around me. It addresses how much I have taken for granted the value of basic touch in my daily life. I sense that many people around me are struggling with the sudden absence of human touch. I hope we can remember this frustration when it is once again ok to mingle, and to appreciate the value of a basic hug. We, as humans, made it to the top of the food chain. We essentially 'won earth', but what is that worth if we cannot touch each other?"
