9.2024 Doe Bay, Orcas Island, Wa
2:30am-5am Saturday in the Xavi dome. 
The highlight of the night was ALL the homies showing up in full force; w/ blankets and lawn chairs to indulge this weirdness.
The crazy thing is that the spatial acoustics in geodesic domes are notoriously weird.... it gets even weirder when you play music specifically designed to mess with stereo fields, thank god for headphones.

Electroacoustic set at Imagine Festival [9.2024]

To be honest, I generally don't often gel with other DJs and usually politely decline tagteam / back to back sets... Eddie Kadeejah Streets is the exception. We seem to finish and elaborate upon each others narratives in the most pleasantly unexpected ways. On top of all that... it's just ridiculous fun.

First two hours is nils aka Phidelity B2B Kadeejah Streets. We played  on the twos (2 tracks per turn). The following two hours is absolute legends Pezzner B2B with Doza. Sweat was dripping off the ceiling of ye olde dirty rave dungeon.

 Big Up Seattle, I'll remember this night forever.

ÖõōØỚỜo̩ɵps [7.2024]

I'd heard about Barterfaire for years. It's an oldschool hippie swap meet up in Tonasket, Washington dating back to the 70s. It happens at the icy cold tail end of the festival season (perfect timing for trading all your fermented, handcrafted, and surplus warez you've accumulated for better shit). I also heard that they were generally unwelcoming to electronic music which is odd since all my friends who were insisting I attend are some of the rowdiest folks I know. 

Long story short: I showed up somewhat in the doldrums coming off a disheartening year at burningman. This is night one - being the only DJ, I played for around 4 hours and and dug into styles I frankly forgot about... like for 15 years.  shameful. It was the perfect sized audience dancing under the majestic Milky Way punctuated by the occasional slow shooting star streaming across the sky. Nights like these are a gentle reminder why we do this. 

Shout out to all the new lifelong friends I made this evening.

ps: there is a night two...

Live at Barterfaire [10.2022] (Night One)

Recorded live at a friends sun-drenched outdoor gathering at the stunning Oxbow river complex in 2019. (Big up Amity Group) 

I had honestly forgot everything about this mix until Rob from Deep N Bass reminded me that I had done one for them last weekend. We popped it on at our SuperBros weekend and I got to hear it more or less for the first time. 

For the mix cover I grabbed 8 different types of topographic maps of Oxbow Regional Park and used noise to collage between them.

Deep N Bass mix  Live at Sundazed - Oxbow Park, Oregon [2019]

This is a set from my friend Craigs' annual Halloween party. 
Honestly, his basement sounds better than 90% of clubs in Portland. I used this set to explore this new branch of weird percussive techno that I've been in love with lately.

Mix is mastered at -6db; provided as a 24bit / 48khz .flac
