Please enjoy this dance mix I recently played for a live gig in San Diego, CA! It's been my go-to workout set since and I'm happy to share it with you guys as we settle into the changing season and say farewell to summer!

Happy Holidays! This is a house mix I recorded 4 years ago while living in Winnipeg briefly for school. I never release house stuff, but I figured hey, what the heck, it's the holidays! Enjoy!

Happy Holidays House Mix

It was an honor to be asked to play at the Fire Garden Finale. A venue that has meant so much to so many over the years - from campout events to Sundaze day parties to weddings and so much more. The Fire Garden is extinguished but the flame burns on in our memories.

Special thanks to DJ Synz for the mastering work on the mix.

Isometric. 
/ˌīsəˈmetrik/
1. adj. of or having equal dimensions.
2. (of a transformation) without change of shape or size.
Dark yet fun, driving yet melodic, sexy yet serious. 
Exploring opposing forces with curiosity, finding the eternal groove, the delicate spaces in-between, the places where the magic happens. 
A mix for groovy mornings and late evenings. 
Enjoy.

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
