Here is my downtempo journey curated for the Chill Island at Esoteric 2022, where I was given the privilege of playing a rarely seen midnight downtempo set! 

Esoteric is one of the first of the bigger festivals to have returned after the severe 2020-2021 restrictions here in Victoria, and super happy to see so many friends celebrating in the same space again - Huge thanks to all involved in bringing these events back to life, and such a pleasure for me to be invited to play a small part in the festivities.

Had a lot of fun putting this together; a mix of big, hypnotic basslines, broken beats, gorgeous guitar licks, funky flutes, familiar riffs, layered loops, cheeky hip hop samples, and of course a good representation of world music and some talented Australian artists.

Hope you enjoy <3

Esoteric Festival 2022

I love to play emotive, energizing electronic dance music, often drawn towards deep, downtempo electronica influenced from instrumental and organic soundscapes from the many cultures of this world. 

My intent is to create meaningful musical journeys suited to anything from a meditative state of reflection, hypnotic movements, and all the way through to ecstatic dance. 

Creating, or shifting the vibe of a space with intention and style is the core element of my sets, using an ebb and flow of musical moods to mold that of the listener, and to move the heart, the body and the soul.
