Set recorded live at Friends Chill @ The Whistle Stop sometime in 2012.

Friends Chill 2

Enter The Void

Groovy Laidback & Nasty Side 1 1996 Cassette Rip

A musical adventure of space out proportions. Tempos are low and vibes are deep & heavy. Included a few of my own edits in here. Maybe you can spot 'em. 

Sunday Morning Freak Out

It's been a while since I've uploaded a good old fashioned house jam session, so here ya go! This time I put the musical focus on all things dark and lovely. I really hope you enjoy the journey! If you do, don't be shy to give comment or a 'like'. Thanks for listening! 

Dark & Lovely Sessions Vol 1

Live On Haight (1998) Full

A while back Soundcloud, god bless 'em, bumped this particular mix of mine off its server because of a silly copyright issue stemming from the first track. But have no fear - I did a little bit of editing tomfoolery to try and outsmart soundcloud's copyright gestapo and, for the time being, it looks like it worked! This mix is by far one of my most favorite mixes I've done in the history of my Tropical residency and I'm excited to be able to share it once again. I strongly recommend that you download immediately just in case the powers that be strike again. :-)

Live At Wax & Groove (8-24-25)

I met Alexis Yasky & Uriel Esquenazi from Mexico City when we played together at a Kimika party somewhere in Baja, California in the early 2000's. They turned out to be top dudes with musical tastes that lined up perfectly with mine. At the time, they were making nice parties in Mexico City at Club Rioma called BOUNCE! and were kind enough to invite me out to play one. They ended up being brilliant hosts, solid DJs, and their party and crowd were insanely fun to play for. 

Special thanks to Uriel E. for helping to resurrect this long-lost set.  If you like the mix and would like to dig a little deeper, I recommend that you check out both Uriel E. & Alexis Y. here on Soundcloud:

This upload is my full set from that unforgettable night. Enjoy!

Live at Bounce, RIOMA, Mexico City Nov 2002

The challenge for this mix was simple: pull house/techno/disco records at random from my collection, one by one, and try to make it all work. It ended up going way better than I expected and was actually super fun to make. I recorded it a few years ago during the pandemic and completely forgot about it, but stumbled on it today while cleaning up my iTunes library and thought it sounded good enough to let loose into the wild. Hope you enjoy ...and if you do, please give it a like and drop a comment. :)

Mark E Quark - Record Roulette Volume 1

Here's the scene....You walk into an ’80s club, neon lights buzzing, fog curling around the dance floor. A friend greets you with a grin and a tab of some “new kind of LSD.” Why not? You drop it. At first everything’s normal...the familiar synth-pop and EBM grooves are right where they should be.

Then the edges start to warp.

Those trusty Linn Drum beats stretch into something alien, melodies bending in on themselves like they’re being played from a parallel dimension. Maybe the acid was a little too strong… or maybe these are still just ’80s EBM tracks and you’re way too twisted to recognize them. Hard to say. But you decide to stop fighting it and ride the wave.

Eventually the trip softens, the room reassembles, and the music snaps back into focus. The ’80s tunes make sense again, like nothing ever happened, except you know you’ve just danced through an entirely different universe.

Black Friday in the K-hole

Donna  Summer - Sunset People (MEQ Slow Mo Edit)

Here is a super rare set recorded live in San Francisco in early 1997 at a By The People party. The vibe is very deep and then goes into dubbed out disco territory midway through, then back to house. Not much else to say here except that the music speaks for itself. This is the first time that this mix has ever seen the light of day. Special thanks to Anthony Silva for helping bring this mix to the Quarkive. In fact I wouldn't have known this mix even existed if it weren't for him. Hope you enjoy!

Macwood Fleet - Dreams (Quark's Here I Go Again Edit)

Here's part of my sunrise set from last year's Tropical 13-year anniversary retreat. Hoping this will tide everybody over until Ben posts my set from this year's event. 

Live at Tropical 13 yr anniversary (sunrise, 2011)

Early in the Morning

This set was recorded live at an underground weekly after-show called Etch A Sketch which started sometime in late 92 by Scott Leitzke & James Heth.  The weekly was held in a vacant basement of a building in the gaslamp area of downtown san diego. Despite the dodgy name and the fact it started in the wee hours of the morning, it was a very fun, but short lived night which offered music and a "free breakfast cereal bar" which was a pretty unique idea at the time. The djs on this particular night, if my memory serves me correctly, was DJ Xstatic aka Daeman, Joey Jimenez & myself. This was the era I was constantly being billed as the "sunrise" dj and you can hear why on this mix. Lots of deep / early morning house classics here plus a few other surprises. This mix has never seen the light of day until now. I hope you get a kick out of hearing this mix which is just a few months past 19 years in age. A big thanks goes to Nathalie Schroeder for lending me her copy of this cassette tape since I had lost mine years ago in a move. 

Mark E Quark - Live Nov 1992 Part 1

In a pinch, if forced to employ adjectives to describe the Mark E. Quark style, one would come up with words like “groovy, laid back and nasty” house music. But putting grammar aside, it’s reasonable to just say that Quark has internalized influences from DJ Harvey, Idjut Boys, Jeno, and Andrew Weatherall, mashed them up, and given life to a signature style and a creature which is totally unique. This creature is currently brought to life for public consumption  at Moonshake in San Diego.
