That's Amazing! - Lushbunny B2B EJagz

Shane One | September 1, 2022

A once in lifetime opportunity to share who I am through melodies and beats.  Every track represents who I am and my old school influences.  Music fills my inner core and the moment I step behind the decks, I am ready to soar.

This was my 1st time attending Joshua Tree Music Festival and it exceeded my expectations.  All the efforts come to fruition as displayed in the art, wellness, and musicality of this family-friendly desert adventure.  I fell in love with the organic warmth and intimacy that brought the Boogaloo Stage to life.  I was slotted a 2 hour set to close out Friday night and it was my time to express myself.

The amount of support from my Bay Area community and friends of decades past, was very humbling.  The moment I stepped up on that platform and saw the outdoor space filled with 360 degrees of revelers and smiles...I knew this was going to be a defining moment.

So much appreciation to Renee Young for believing in me and to Barnett English for his vision to embody that true independent music festival spirit and giving me the opportunity to shine. I did not know what I was capable of until I stepped onto that stage and felt the energy pulsing all around me.  

An epic moment that came together so perfectly where sounds were finely tuned and people were ready to receive.  Every track felt right and the nerves just melted away.  It magical and pure bliss.  This is dedicated to all my friends n' family who supported my love for music and to anyone who is ready to hear my story.

I can not change the weather,
but I can try to give a smoother Groove to it.

In this selection you may not hear "that typical type of Flash".
When i talk to People, they file me under "Hip Hop".
There is more to it. Belive it.

Enjoy a powerful freestyle Selection of thome forgotten Gems that used to break the Floor!

Its Disco Time.

Thank you for listening

Back into Time

Oh, Odyssey is more than just a 5 hour set, it’s a pilgrimage in sound. Designed to mirror the rhythm and resilience of New York City, this mix carries listeners through the emotional terrain of endurance: from restlessness to fatigue, doubt to triumph, and finally, acceptance.

Inspired by Homer’s The Odyssey, this set transforms the mythic voyage home into a statement for movement. Each beat as a step to move forward, each obstacle and opportunity to thrive. 

Recorded live at the Venice Beach Club in Oct. 11, 2025. Thank you to all that donated and supported me during this adventure.

Another great set from Andi Depressiva @ IKARUS Festival in Memmingerberg, Germany. Sharing is caring. Enjoy

AndiDepressiva @ Ikarus Festival 2015

[INTRO]
You keep sayin’ you’re “healing” by runnin’ into someone new
But that ain’t recovery, that’s just tryin’ not to sit with the truth
You ain’t searching for peace, you’re just hiding from the mirror
You’re not escaping the darkness, you’re dragging it with you nearer

[VERSE 1]
You think a new distraction means your heart’s gonna mend
But all you’re doing is putting fresh blood on an unclosed end
You never let the first heartbreak bleed out from your soul
You just found another victim to try to make you feel whole
You say you “need love right now”, no, you need accountability
‘Cause if you can’t love yourself, you’ll poison every possibility
You chased validation, not growth, you chased attention, not peace
And now you’re blaming the ones who loved you
For the demons you never released

[PRE-CHORUS]
I begged you to sit with your shadows, to face the storm you’re in
But instead, you ran to another,  and called that healing from within
You think running brings salvation, but all you harvest is decay
You don’t fix a broken heart… by giving it away

[CHORUS]
BY CHASING ANOTHER, THAT ISN’T HEALING, IT’S JUST CHASING PAIN
YOU CAN’T ESCAPE YOUR SHADOWS WHEN YOUR SOUL STILL BLEEDS THE SAME
YOU CAN’T CALL IT LOVE WHEN IT’S JUST TRAUMA PLAYING THE GAME
RUN FROM YOURSELF ALL YOU WANT, BUT THE WOUND STILL KNOWS YOUR NAME
YOU’LL KEEP BREAKING WHAT YOU TOUCH, UNTIL YOU HEAL WITHIN
NO NEW LOVER CAN SAVE YOU,  IF YOU’RE STILL THE PRISON YOU LIVE IN

[VERSE 2]
You didn’t need a new heart, you needed to mend your own
But you jumped into a body hopin’ it would feel like home
Temporary comfort ain’t the same as transformation
You can’t resurrect your soul through emotional migration
I watched you cycle the same mistakes, same lies, new faces
Every love you try to find,  just becomes another wasteland of traces
It ain’t them, it’s the ghost inside you you refuse to confront
You keep fleeing from the battle, but the pain’s still on the hunt

[BRIDGE]
Healing ain’t soft, healing ain’t safe
It’s looking at your own reflection
Without hiding behind someone else’s face
You can run from accountability,
But not from the toll of what you’ve done
You’ll keep chasing fake comfort
‘Til you’re left with absolutely none

[FINAL CHORUS]
BY CHASING ANOTHER, THAT ISN’T HEALING, IT’S JUST CHASING PAIN
YOU CAN’T ESCAPE YOUR SHADOWS WHEN YOUR SOUL STILL BLEEDS THE SAME
YOU CAN’T CALL IT LOVE WHEN YOUR LOVE IS STILL SO UNTRAINED
RUN FROM YOURSELF, YOU’LL FIND HELL, WEARING A DIFFERENT NAME
YOU’LL KEEP BREAKING WHAT YOU TOUCH, UNTIL YOU HEAL WITHIN
NO NEW LOVER CAN SAVE YOU, IF YOU’RE STILL THE PRISON YOU LIVE IN

[OUTRO]
You don’t heal by replacing, you heal by facing
‘Cause if you never go inward
You’ll just keep creating new versions
of the same damn heartbreak.
