Very chill mix, love it.  Fantastic work from home music!

This one is my first new mix in over a year and a half; it's dedicated to what has become my favourite musical space: expansive, melodic, spacious and weighty dubwise/dubtechno music. Starting at around 112 bpm and ending at 160 over the course of almost 2 and a half hours, this is a mix I'd been meaning to put together for some time now and I'm so happy to share it now. As always, listen on some quality speakers or headphones; this sort of music especially benefits from proper low end as you know.

Recorded in Serato on two Technics 1200s, a Rane 72MKII and with live dubbing on a Benidub dub siren and Roland space echo pedal.

Happy full Wolf moon in Cancer friends.  ❤ ❤ ❤
I’ve posted a collection of music that is very special to me to coincide with this auspicious occasion.  

It’s been such a year of grief and loss for many of us. Death has come closer to me than ever before.  I’ve been deeply affected by the passing of some dearly beloved beings and continue to attempt to come to terms with the understanding that we will all eventually have to say goodbye to one another.  

I’ve called this set Key To A Memory. it’s about grieving and remembering and the marks we make on each other. The things that remind us of what is gone.  It’s about the intricate tapestry our lives weave together. It’s about the bitterness of accepting loss. It’s about the release of letting go.  It’s about cherishing the time we’ve been given and returning to gratitude.  Embracing death and celebrating life. 

Compiled and arranged in the deep winter months on the Sunshine Coast in BC. the dark and gloom are palpable. Though i hear a hint of spring in there at times as well. like seeds buried in the snow dreaming of the sun.


I know I take myself pretty seriously sometimes. It is just a DJ mix after all haha. Yet these songs mean a lot to me and the feelings they convey help me move through these moments with all the grace I can.  I hope that you will enjoy.  LOVE ALWAYS 


Xx dee

Bartek Industries @ 30ear Moontribe Anniversary

In the spirit of the gemini season, this little ditty plays with the balance of opposites. 
Moving from dark to light, playing with tempos, textures and genres; these selections are meant to pour from my wild heart right into yours.
A short and sweet groovy treat.

new moon / vol 1: gemini

you will be mist


when the sun swells red
a glowing inferno
boiling us

when the sea is slime 
and only the jellyfish remain
our cradle a wasteland

when we have cut down the last tree
leveled the last mountain
filled the last stream

when we are made of money and system
digits and hot air
and we consume each other

when we have dammed the rivers in our hearts
for power and control
fear and shame

when our heartlands have flooded over
and there is no high ground
and suffering is cheap

when we abandon our humanity
and each other
drowning

disgraced

just know 

what blessed 
little droplets
we were

dripping, streaming
reflecting pools
steaming in the spring sunshine

coursing through the veins
of the youngest green saplings
pushing sunward

uniting in strength
cutting a course through the rock
together for the big one

but now 
only one thing 
is for certain

i’d like to say “this too shall pass”, but we know of course that it might not. it will definitely be whatever it is. and that’s okay.

may you be seen.

you will be mist

I'm pleased to share a special blend of music from a very special trip this summer.  Boreal is a very unique weekend with amazing people in an amazing place and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to play a part.

I was tasked with providing a soundtrack Saturday morning welcoming sleepy heads out of their tents to brunch by the rivers edge with gentle sonics building to daytime vibes as the sun shone strong with a big day ahead.

Please enjoy this live recorded journey in sound as I drew inspiration being immersed in the natural beauty of Ontario summer with mist rolling off of a stunning waterfall in the distance.
