Certified Groovers [9 hour open to close set]

Hey friends!

I had a blast last weekend playing open to close for Certified Groovers in DTLA. A 9-hour solo show is a huge undertaking and my nerves *almost* got the better of me when I showed up to the venue early and found out I incorrectly formatted my flash drives. Somehow I sensed something would go wrong, so I rushed home, reformatted the drives, and grabbed a big bag of vinyl in case of more gremlins. Shouts to the legends Zac and Collin from Loud Laboratory for helping sort out a spare drive as a final failsafe—as well as their lighting, production, and absolutely smackin' sound on a Traction sound system. Extra special shoutout to all the dancers that stayed until after sunrise, thanks for the memories.

As always, please like, share, or comment if you dig this set.

See y'all on the dance floor sometime soon!!
