Saveur Magique

The following fiction is true: Cowboy Noir, Spaghetti Westerns, Smokey Vocals, Country Blues, Lizard Kings, Storm Riders, Deep House and all...:

So "as the story goes":

"It was sometime back in 1962, when I found myself piloting a wheezing old Ford station wagon, feeling not just disoriented but positively misplaced on the dusty byways to Joshua Tree. The washboard roads shook my bones and rattled my teeth, so the accidental discovery of the sole watering hole in that barren wasteland was like stumbling upon an oasis. Despite its forlornly desiccated and saturnine exterior, the lonely backroads bar was an outpost that promised the desperate kind of salvation only dire needs can summon: Ritual libations. A stiff drink, and a moment's respite.

As I pushed through the nameless saloon’s swinging double doors, they creaked open to reveal an astonishing sight: Johnny Cash, Jim Morrison, Ennio Morricone, and Hope Sandoval, all seated together at the bar, deep in their cups. Behind the counter stood Barnett, the bartender, a sly vision of dry humor and endless spirits. They spotted my lonely silhouette and, with drunken enthusiasm, beckoned me to join their spirited symposium.
What followed was a cacophonous marathon of intemperance and debate, as we discoursed basslines and bourbon, whisky and women, UFOs and poetry, guitars and remixes, and…deep house.

The outcome of that wild and chewy night? This mix—a tribute to your culturally errant wanderings, a testament to “stepping into yes”, the uncharted paths we stumble upon…and the unexpected that ensues".

Existance 2025

Such an epic night at The Chapel of Sacred Mirrors in New York.  Allyson and Alex had a great opening ceremony where they talked about the reasons we as humans have long celebrated the solstice, the future of CoSM, and more.  I played a 2 hour set in the gallery room with the Greys painting just next to where I was performing!  Very surreal and awesome night with amazing vibes and people, bless it!

Deep Beat Diving

Neshima means breath in Hebrew, the language of my childhood. 

DJ’ing to me is sonic photosynthesis. The space and crowd put out a vibe, I breathe that in and try my best to breathe it back out in sonic form. 

Music has always been a life long obsession. Having been involved in the music scene for years, always on the hunt for fresh and inspiring sounds, I feel I’ve become a bit of a librarian of sorts. With DJ’ing I have found a way to channel my knowledge and passion for our ever evolving music scene. It is with the greatest pleasure that I present to you my findings.
