This Shipwrecked was a real special one

Thank you to all who met me with openness and love that Sunday afternoon

These are moments to cherish forever 

May this shine love and light on the deeper nooks of your heart

…

Reubey dooby do

A strong gentle heart, a playful glimmer
some rough around the edges smoothening with love
Creative courage, a fine finesse 
You see that spark walk into the room
Lucky you 🌟

For Reuben Joel
One of the best now forever in our hearts

… 

Something happened that day at Salvation Mountain - I left a bucket full of tears in the desert, a well to the wild flowers. My lungs, now breathing diamonds … from The Apricot Memoirs 

… 

Thank you Jamie Larnach @thedastardlybounder for this beautiful (and synchronous!) photo of the Humming Hut

Shipwrecked Festival 2024 - ‘a Reubey special’ Sunday afternoon @ the Humming Hut

Thirty five years of professional DJing this summer! 

I have spent many past posts musing about the early days, so I will spare you words of nostalgia today. Instead, I want to hit you with the kind of set that I feel is an accumulation of my past experiences of what works on a dance floor, what I personally love, and which of those sounds I feel connect with what's happening today. 

Music has largely stopped giving us anything truly new in the past decade, but the absence of newness doesn't mean we shouldn't discover music that is new to US, and sometimes we should also remind ourselves of the great eras, genres and grooves we may have forgotten. So today, instead of giving you newness, I present to you my musical opinion on contemporary timelessness.

I would personally dance my ass off to this set. LMK if you would too.

Johnny Lee johnson @ Odessa Bar Berlin 9 Jan 2017

Deeply influenced by ambient, world and underground dance music, her compositions are a confluence of dreamy synths, haunting dub crashes, lush tabla, percussive polyrhythms and shuffling dance beats. 
Forging a path as a performer and recording artist since 2001, Michelle is always pushing boundaries and expectations. She embarked on a lifetime of learning Indian classical music traditions and compositions and has studied with tabla masters, mainly in the Lucknow Garana, both in Southern California and Kolkata, India.
Michelle began performing live tabla with different songwriters and world fusion bands around Los Angeles. Her exposure to music from Brazil, India, Africa and the Middle East live on as a library of sounds in her mind. Melodies and rhythms from all over the globe flavor her dancefloor ready tracks.
She has performed with her project Madly in Dub (2008-2020) at Northwest festivals like Photosynthesis, Cascadia Music and Arts Festival, Imagine Festival (Orcas Island), Fremont Solstice Fest and Seattle venues like Monkey Loft, Substation, Nectar, The High Dive and The Triple Door.
Her solo, live producer performances in 2023 included NW Folklife Festival, Caravan and Cascadia Music and Arts festival. Miss Kestrel's genre expanding music has been categorized as Organic House and Folktronica.
Her second solo album “Kadupul” will be released on the multi genre label  Eklectic Sounds on April 18th, 2024
Listen for Michelle Kestrel’s music in 2025 at festivals, club nights and her upcoming digital releases!
