The DJ set I played at Batdogg 2022. The party that got cancelled but we did it anyway. What a time!

Boggdog 2022 Live @ Batdogg Festival 2022

Got at least a few unreleased tracks of mine in here and a couple that was the first time I ever played them... so fun! Upcoming releases with Dreaming Awake, Alien Breakdance, Uniting Souls, Activated, etc. 

I recorded the room as well so the sounds of the crowd hootin' and hollarin' are integrated into the set. 

This is an event we threw at The Big Dirty in Eugene. We are super grateful that it turned out to exceed our expectations <3 It had plenty of April Fool's day mischief as well!

LUKE MANDALA Live @ Mischief @ The Big Dirty ~ April Fool's Day

.ideology has no place in the heart, meanwhile all matter somehow fits in a dot. .Confucius even seemed confused, and now physics isn’t an exact science?. .religion has panned out to be delusional, while people who claim to know, turn out to be charlatans or scamming cult leaders - go figure. .Faith can cost a lot, while hope is not only free, its a choice…… .a glass of wine with the neighbors, appreciating the moment is nice. .contemplation of existence and the things that actually matter seems to work. .I mean, we’ve made it this far, and for all accounts, and purposes, its not so bad if at least one person loves and appreciates you, pay it forward if so..I hope you're feeling this... .Chin up and heart open, lovelies!. 

.I was honored to be part of the Interdimensional Art show's 20 year Anniversary and wanted to share my set! .This art gazey ambient set was inspired by the amazing artists and friends that were in attendance. .I hope you enjoy! .like, share and comment if you dig! <3

Live @ Tropical NYE 2024

Dj Maggie Live at Tropical New Year 2024 -- 6PM-8PM

This set is dripping in psychedelia, a journey deep into eclectic territories of electronica. The setting was perfect, a bushy Mojave Desert location, its 2pm, people had been dancing their asses off since 10pm the night before, and now its time for Treavor to dive deep into the slower grooves oozing in mystical soundscapes and grounding tribal vibes!!! 

Live At Moontribe - Treavor Moontribe Dec 2014

Light will someday split you open
Even if your life is now a cage,

For a divine seed, the crown of destiny,
Is hidden and sown on an ancient, fertile plain
You hold the title to.

Love will surely bust you wide open
Into an unfettered, blooming new galaxy

Even if your mind is now
A spoiled mule.

A life-giving radiance will come,
The Friend's gratuity will come

O look again within yourself,
For I know you were once the elegant host
To all the marvels in creation.

	- Hafiz

Why do you stay in prison
when the door is so wide open?

Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.
Live in silence.

Flow down and down
in always widening rings of being.

	- Rumi

Words won't do this one justice.  I had the honor of playing the Global Eclipse Festival on Monday night, the day of the Solar Eclipse, after sharing the most amazing day of ceremony, family, laughter, tears, hugs, vulnerability, support and the most LOVE I could possibly imagine.  I'm absolutely floored that I was able to curate the audial space while the incredible painters of the Furtherr Collective continued blowing us away with color and magic. Thank you everyone who participated in this life changing event.  I Love you all. <3

Beats Served Neat

there is much that could be said about my intention with this project; it has certainly gained many new layers of meaning as much of what we know threatens to crumble before us. but i will say only:

may we truly face ourselves.
may our home fires stay alight.
may we burn what no longer serves us.
