I was originally planning on recording a 2 hour mix but I was having so much fun I decided to go for 3. Ciao Winter : Hello Spring is dedicated to the longer days, warmer weather, birds chirping, running water, and new life. As I shift from a challenging winter of covid to the new beginnings of spring, I look forward to gatherings, collaboration, creating, building, getting close, breathing, and dancing. Lots and lots of dancing. As I look back at winter, I give thanks for the growth that comes with challenge and the introspection that comes with deeper connections. I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I do. It ain't perfect, but it is certainly better than my 2021 Mix. Drop me a comment/heart/share if you are feelin' it and want to support me. If you are in the Kootenays and love to dance, check out https://www.facebook.com/TheGreaterGroove

Adem KURT:
Being a story-teller who encapsulates noises throughout a shared-universal narration of culture is the main sound concept behind of Herhangi's perspective. Since 2012, under the name "Herhangi", Adem Kurt has been producing and giving live performances by capturing emotional depth sounds. Based in Istanbul and Tokyo, Adem also works as a music director which gives him access to create instances of creation/alteration/cancellation in a multi-disciplinary art.

mochilero is first and foremost a passionate and dedicated dancer, who with each set, aims to share melodies & rhythms for liberatory movement & collective joy. Inspired by the mystery, interconnectedness, and diversity of the natural world, mochilero weaves together melodic, uplifting and soulful grooves to evoke a feeling of oneness on the dance floor. He plays tasteful melodic, deep, progressive, minimal, and downtempo house with rays of breaks, acid, tech, & disco to create emotive, hypnotic, and dynamic sonic journeys.

mochilero hosts inclusive parties, ecstatic dances, and community events on the unceded, ancestral and traditional territories of the Sinixt (Nelson, BC). The events foster an experience of collective joy, while focusing on centring marginalized communities and uplifting organizations that work toward social and environmental justice. His events are intended for dance lovers of any and every background, and are inspired by Fusion, Burning Man, Boom, and the open air culture in Köln, Germany, that led him to fall deep in love with the rich tradition of house music. More information on The Greater Groove can be found below. 

mochilero also hosts veteran and up and coming talent on his "Never Stop Dancing" mix series. If you would like to be featured, just shoot me a message and say hey. <3
