Tenspeed played a beautiful set to close out the weekend. Here is a note from the legend himself:

"This is a re-record of my set from the inaugural Sundial Festival in Cuyama, California April 7-9 2023. My set was originally planned for 4:30am on Sunday morning but the police shut down the party a few hours before my set and told us no more music. Of course we disobeyed and moved the tunes inside into an old cabin. I ended up starting my set at 6:10am and finished around 7:45am. The earliest (latest?) set of my life. What an experience! Hope you all enjoy this progressive and melodic journey filled with a mix of bright and darker tunes.

Since my set was moved from the main stage to inside, my set was not recorded like the rest and my recording app malfunctioned. I re-recorded the set with the same tracklist in the exact order so this is a pretty much identical clone of my set. Thanks for listening and thanks to the Need A Minute crew for having me at your incredible festival!"

Tenspeed @ Sundial

ROMiii got things fired up at the start of Saturday's musical lineup. To quote our resident Need a Minute music critic's review on the set: "Fuck yesssssssss ⚡️⚡️" Here's a note from ROMiii:

"Coming at you LIVE from Sundial, a music festival hosted by Need A Minute on a superbloomin' mesa in New Cuyama, CA, I’m slinging some booty movin' tracks in this mix. Enjoy a special curation of dark and vibey bass house, tech house, and hidden drum and bass tracks ✨."

ROMiii @ Sundial

Blonders set the tone Friday night with this eclectic set that had us saying "Need a Genre?" This masterful journey blending between styles was talked about for the rest of the weekend, and let every DJ know they better bring their A game because he certainly brought his!

Here's a very special episode of our radio show! This is chillbill's debut on the main stage of Northern Nights! Taking over the decks from Chocolate Sushi to play in front of a few thousand people while his wife cheered him on as his head "chilleader" was surely one of the best DJ experiences he could have asked for. A special moment was deserving of a very special set so this one was meticulously crafted just for this special occasion.

Turn up the volume and lock in to the sounds of @Gurubay.
