Merrick Brown @ Westfest Afters (DNBID) July 19, 2025

This year I asked to play a sunrise set and the good keepers of Diane's kindly obliged my desire. This set started at 3am and ended at 6am. I wanted to explore a joyful playful dark energy until the sun began to rise. Includes minimal favorites that I rediscovered in my collection after schlepping all the records to the new place, and some wild vortex inducing stuff that I had always wanted to play at Dianes at the darkest hour before the light started to filter through the trees. Strangely I was listening to this set when I had a near death experience last month. I feel lucky to be alive, and also relieved and grateful that K-rAD always does such an incredible job recording these sets at Dianes that will far outlive my existence in this current human form in which I feel lucky to still occupy. Sending lots of love to all my friends and family that sent me so much positive energy- it absolutely helped in my healing this month. This set is for all of you. <3
