Halcyon NYE 2022 - Jody Wisternoff Support Set

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  :)

I was stoked to return to Northern Nights Music Festival for my second year playing – I threw down a Friday night set at the Submerged Sessions stage for an hour of trippy vocals, rolling baselines, house, minimal, techno n' breaks. This was quite fun to hear these tracks blasting out on a proper Danley soundsystem (thanks, Jobi!!) – it's one of my fav sets I've played in awhile. Thanks to everyone who joined 💜

Torie - Live at Northern Nights: Submerged Sessions

Since 1999, Esette (@isis-graham)has played an instrumental role in shaping Calgary’s dance music landscape into the internationally recognized hotspot that it is today. Her work with Versions, Girls on Decks, Studio Social, Substation Recordings, Habitat Living Sound, The Hifi Club and, and the Alberta Electronic Music Conference have made Esette a name synonymous with cultural growth and a force constantly driving artists around her to push forward. 

As a DJ she’s been invited to play notable festivals like Bass Coast, Shambhala, WMC, Decibel, MEMETIC, Think!Festival Germany and Amsterdam Dance Event. Her 30+ releases showcase her ability to maintain a uniqueness in her music while harkening back to some of dance music’s most classic sounds.

Each month, I love curating these Mousai Mixes with female DJs around the world. I love to share their sounds, stories and energy. I hope you enjoy this beautifully crafted Mousai Mix.

Mousai Mix #025 - Esette [Calgary]

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:

I got to play this set on our Dirty Beetles Boogaloo Art Car @ Burning Man 2022 for the Man Burn. This is what I call a DIRTY house set infused with hip-hop and bass.

I had the most wonderful time playing for the great folks at Leave Us Lost in Vancouver on September 10.22 ahead of Vancouver legend Kevin Shiu and alongside the incredible Adam2 and Unmarried Woman. It was a beautiful day out, and the Wautier Sound F1 rig sounded crisp. This is a live, unaltered recording of my set. Enjoy!

Esette + Miss Hazard: Bass Coast 2023

Here's a one-shot recreation of my set at the Living Room Stage at Shambhala Music Festival 2023. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to perform for you all at this festival, for a Western Canadian this is a dream come true. When Lion-S asked me to play this year, she asked me to harken back to the classics and give the dance floor a bit of an education, so I played some of my favourite classics that I have from my vinyl collection and a few new ones in that vein.

Isis Graham
Notoriously resilient and endlessly innovative, Esette (aka Isis Graham) has carved out a lasting legacy in Western Canada’s electronic music scene. With over two decades of experience, her unrelenting work ethic has made her a leading figure both behind the decks and behind the scenes, shaping cultural staples like The Alberta Electronic Music Conference, Girls on Decks, Substation Recordings, and Versions Patio Parties.

Graham’s roots in Calgary’s underground rave scene date back to 1998, where she witnessed the peak of renegade parties. By 1999, she transitioned into DJing, and after local bylaws led to the end of raves, she adapted by bringing her sound to some of Western Canada’s most iconic venues over the past 20 years. Her sets have graced stages at renowned clubs like the Embassy, Cherry Lounge, HIFI Club, Habitat Living Sound, and Open Studios as well as celebrated festivals like Bass Coast, WMC, Decibel, Think! Festival, and Shambhala.

In 2003, Graham co-founded Girls on Decks, a collective that was dedicated to amplifying the visibility of female and non-binary DJs in the dance music scene. While the initiative is no longer active, its impact on Calgary’s music community is undeniable, with its influence continuing to resonate today. 

Since 2007, Graham has built an impressive catalogue as a producer, with releases on Supremus Music, O*rs, Substation Recordings, RF, gaining support from top-tier artists like Maceo Plex, Fred Everything, Seth Troxler, and Jamie Jones. From 2013 to 2018, she served as A&R for the Calgary-based Substation Recordings, further nurturing local talent. She also co-founded Studio Social, Calgary’s first producer-focused listening event series, which fostered collaboration and community among music creators.

In 2016, Graham co-launched the Alberta Electronic Music Conference, a boutique gathering of electronic music masterminds that ran annually at Calgary’s National Music Centre until 2019. The conference featured 60+ panels, workshops, and mentorship opportunities for emerging artists. Recognized for her entrepreneurial spirit, she received Avenue Magazine’s "Top 40 Under 40" award in 2019. Additionally, her weekly summer residency "Versions" at Modern Love (formerly Broken City) has become a key event for community building, nurturing emerging talent and fostering Calgary’s house
music scene, celebrating its 11th season in 2024.

Esette’s passion for launching boundary-breaking initiatives extends to her identity as a performer. Ever-evolving and always effervescent, her multifaceted approach and raw passion shine through her work—continuing to inspire and energize those fortunate enough to experience her sound.
