My return to Moontribe after 4 years!  Hey it ain't so easy to pull off living in Oregon... but good news, my venue booking business has me in California at least once a month so far this year :)

Anyway, it was great to be back!  For a March Full Moon this was a little more intimate than I was expecting - still a few hundred people there on a beautiful Thursday night though!

Musically this is on the faster,(130bpm) harder end of my range.  I did also slip in some breakbeats at the beginning and in the middle.

A lot of people haven't heard me play this style, and I always get a couple surprised comments when I play like this.  It's good to keep people on their toes!

I'll post the track list soon, but it takes a minute, and I wanted to get this up before it gets late :)  

I had a really great time here, and I danced for hours.  It was the first time I'd been in front of a huge system since the pandemic, sounded so good out there!  

Hope to be back for more soon  :)

Ben Annand Live FMG March 2022

Atop the legendary Blackbird Bus I took the helm and led the Teleport Art Car Festival through a musical journey that was perfectly accompanied by desert winds, glowing art cars and starlit skies. The dance floor reveled in high energy techno thumping out of the Hennessy speaker stacks for two hours, followed by an hour of much needed drum & bass for a changeup in the vibe. Please enjoy :)

Teleport Art Car Festival 2022

Groovy, Dancefloor friendly progressive, Melodic house, and Techno for Human and Interstellar beings. Live from the Subtract Music Stage at Disclosure Festival, LA, 2022

Disclosure Fest LA 2022

Here is part one of the infamous Moontribe 29-year kimono set that I previously may have made some waves about - this part is on the house side but trippy for the desert...

This set had many challenges. I made a great playlist for it from my entire collection, did everything except export to usb, and then my logic board failed the next day.  Bye bye playlist!

So I rebuilt, as we do.  But with limited time my rebuild was limited to the last year of music, as well as some brand new music.  On top of that, I had convinced myself that my sets at Teleport and Moontribe were at exactly the same time - 10pm to midnight.  I think I told like 30 people this too :)  And of course I made my playlists - even the old one that disappeared - based on the 10-12 time frame

Sunday morning I look at the directions email and my set is listed at 6:00-8:30pm.  I thought it had maybe been changed on me then checked my message thread and I’ve just totally made up the 10-12 thing :) 

Point is that close to summer solstice 6:00-8:30 is a daytime set into sunrise while 10-12 is night-time ascending energy - they are drastically different energetically.  

So I made another new fricken 29-Year playlist based on my music of the past year, daytime into sunset.  I decided both ahead of time, and on the dance floor, that this Moontribe needed some trippy desert house music so that was the first hour.  

You can find the second part of this set - which is more minimal/trippy/breakbeat - one track down or at this link:

Subtract & Moon Kitty present Moontribe New Year's Day Vibe Jan 1st 2023 Los Angeles CA

Armando Kroma@Moonkitty New Years Day 2023 -Moontribe-Subtractmusic

Episode 12 features a mix from one of the founding members of Pangea - Klaws. Klaws’ sound, a.k.a ‘liquid funk,’ is a combination of deep techno, minimal grooves, a dash of house, and a good measure of dub, all wrapped together in a floor-filler funky mixture, always keeping it deep, spacey, and with a driving groove. He first got exposed to the sounds of electronic music in his native country Romania. Since then, the passion for driving, and cutting-edge music only became stronger. Klaws has helped develop the techno scene in the upstate for 15 years now and continues to deliver interesting mixes and stellar events.

Klaws | Pangea Radio | Episode 12 | Deep Techno

After 30 years I didn't think Moontribe could reach a new peak, but we absolutely did with our 30 year anniversary Full Moon Gathering! The location was unreal, the weather perfect and the people brought so much love and dance floor energy, I was simply blown away completely! 

Here is my night time Techno set played from 9pm to 11pm on night 2 inside the most beautiful stage structure by Symbiotic Creations in front of a dance floor filled with super charged energy under the big bright full moon!!!

breathe. 021 - Dave Juric - Live @ Angel Bar

Angel Bar, Melbourne - 8th July 2023 - 9pm - 12am
Charles Oliver Live - Warm Up Set

Some words from Dave:
"It was an absolute honour to be asked to perform before my friend’s debut Live performance and it was something that inspired me deeply. I spent weeks trawling through music, a fiendish response I haven’t experienced for years.

I wanted to create a sonic landscape that sprawled and surprised. This is the music I love. It contains deeply hypnotic ambient soundscapes, wild syncopated rhythms, mournful electronica with some lashings of acid house and techno. The dialogue throughout is from the film Basquait (1996).

I hope you enjoy".
