Name: Tales to Tell (House/Ambient House) by Palindrome in Refuge - Palindrome Sampler 2024/25
Duration: 6 min 19 s
Description: Like all good stories, this is a blend of fact and fiction, foundation and confection. It is a tale that begins on the dance floor, but where it takes you... that's not always predictable. One thing that is assured is like a good palindrome, it will return you to the place you started. More or less.

A collection of Palindrome sounds from a wide range of styles, from downtempo to drum-n-bass.

Live set from a warehouse in Oakland somewhere late at night..

RainDance

This track bounces between an easy downtempo feel and drum-n-bass feel at double the tempo. It loosely follows a day in the life of a nudibranch -- a type of sea slug which can have amazing colorings and breathes through its tail plume --carnivorously munching its way through sponges, corals, anemones, hydroids, bryozoans, tunicates, algae and sometimes other nudibranchs.

We Can Be

Like all good stories, this is a blend of fact and fiction, foundation and confection. It is a tale that begins on the dance floor, but where it takes you... that's not always predictable. One thing that is assured is like a good palindrome, it will return you to the place you started. More or less.

Tales to Tell (House/Ambient House)

When I was a hella emotional high schooler who had big feelings, I’d play this game that had a simple premise: there’s one track in my itunes library that could make everything feel okay. Of course, the conceit that it was the process of finding that one track that was the truly healing/regulating activity, but it was a fun premise nonetheless.

Most the music we release is our peak party music: a bananas pool party, 2am full tilt warehouse rave, etc. Our lovely community who gets to see us play live often knows that we have other chiller vibes too though, and this mix is a foray into that chiller side, some samplings from our super late night, sunrise, and just straight vibing music.

Mix also works well for:

* Terrible commutes//airports
* That last late night/sunrise slot after all your favorite DJs have played and you want vibey music but everyone’s too tired/high to play more and the DJ who’s really excited to play plays happy hardcore.
* Leisurely making some gnocchi and drinking a glass of wine
* When you want to remember there is beauty and stillness in the world
* Just laying in bed staring at the ceiling


We hope to make more of these.

it's been a hard day vol 1

The feeling when something is about to start... Something big, something unknown, but you know you want to be there when it happens. This track was born in a late-night jam with Pym, and was pretty much wrapped up by dawn the next day. I wish every tune came together so easily!

Decteria

This track wants you to know that everything is going to be OK. Original upload replaced with a tighter, more refined mix for the wider population.

Here we have a dialogue between protector and protected, a shelter in the storm, a wellspring of care, and voice that beckons us out of the wilderness. Written for my mom for her birthday in early 2024, who helps me see so many things and see them clearly.

Dance Church MicroFest 6.1.25

Hey folks!

When i started this musical journey i always thought playing Fusion Festival would be this once in a life time special event, so to come back and play a fourth time is quite the treat. From the moment i arrive at Fusion i feel so welcome and free to showcase my music and style of playing. It's a place that nurtures individuality, supports risk takers and does not care for what's on trend, so i thank you Fusion.

I also want to show my gratitude to the Seebühne crew for looking after me on the night and also making me feel very welcome. The stage really did look great and the sound was like a warm hug :)

Lastly i need to thank everyone who came to dance, listen and whistle (lol), none of this works without you so i'll always be in your debt and hope my musical journey keeps you entertained for years to come <3

Hugs and Kisses
