Recorded Live at Deer Lodge Ojai, CA.

Psychedelia drips through the desert in the beats of soothing funk. A dreamscape of shimmering lights and grooving bodies, the glimmering of the disco ball, and hypnotic pattern of colors lighting every pair of dancing feet.

Marques has been instrumental in putting Los Angeles on the dance music map. He has given LA’s dance scene the coveted credibility in the electronic music industry to rival the likes of New York and Miami. He is one of the few DJ's that have managed to cross pollinate audiences and merge at least two generations of music fans on his dance floors. 

This is the Oasis poolside set from our Cosmic Opera event. We are excited to share this unforgettable set with those of you who were not in attendance and to those who want to relive this epic day party.

Today we embark on a special journey with our dear friend Amer from Old City. Old City has been close to Amaya since the very beginning and we have enjoyed our relationship for a number of years. We are so happy to have you today sharing this beautiful and eclectic mix, perfectly balanced and mixed. It truly shows how deep and thoughtful Old City's musical storytellings evolve. 
As usual we get to know more about Old City in our interview at the end.
Please enjoy it as much as we did ourselves.

"While creating a set, I process a lot of what I go through and make sense of my journey by drawing meaning from the stories that reveal themselves. What is this song about? What does it make me feel? Is there a story that I can draw an emotional attachment from? A lot of realizations have come about this past year as I ask myself these questions. The deeper question being masked by that is really: how am i feeling today? Through that constant self assessment, I get to know myself a little better, peel the layers and understand what each phase means to me. I get to know myself best when I’m creating. Through music, through starting to explore photography and through writing, I’m expanding the channels in which I can absorb, process, learn and then share. Old City is my attempt at doing so. 

As many people already know, I started playing alone for over a year now without the partner that I started this all with - a gap that has forced me to ask myself endless questions and go through a lot of internal growth. I have a lot of emotions towards having to fill that gap and losing a partner in this journey, but every “positive” or “negative” experience exists to teach us something. We ask ourselves the hardest questions when it’s a “negative” experience, and sometimes can go a little less self aware when we’re on that “positive” momentum. I went in a different direction musically and used it as an opportunity to self discover, experiment and increase my range. I played disco, house, minimal, acid jazz, blues, afro funk, progressive house. All blended in a way that felt unique to my taste and felt right to the ambience of where I was playing. But I perhaps also escaped what reminded me of the original essence of why Old City came to be and I continued to distract myself away from the hardest question.

This set for Amaya’s radio show is my deepest and most personal, emotional reflection and I want it to tell you what I love, what I truly care about, and what I am starting to understand Old City to be, authentically me. Some elements, particularly the important message during the closing of this set was something very special I wanted to share during my sunset time slot on the Maxa Art Car at Burning Man this year, but that set was cancelled last minute and I was left heartbroken that I couldn’t share that message then and there. But naturally I immediately knew this radio show with Amaya was the right home for it. There is a 45 mins interview at the end that I shed a bit of light on this as well and a first open heart discussion about my story and beliefs. For those of you that take the time to read this and to listen to my set(s), thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to share this time with you" @oldcitysounds

From Justin:
At Burning Man, the evening of the burning of the Man is often an emotional one. Energetically diverse, with people in a variety of states of mind: contemplation, celebration, and everything in between. As the set progressed, it felt like the initial challenge was to try to merge what felt like multiple interests and energy levels on the dance floor. I remember just feeling washed in warm energy as the various strands began to intertwine and the dance floor began to move together.

When Steve reached out to ask if I’d consider playing the Man Burn, and that they wanted it to be open ended, I was really excited for the opportunity to express myself, to share music that’s been meaningful to me across a variety of energetic space and time. It’s so rare to have these windows that allow us to just play, and when that connects with the dance floor it’s just pure magic. I’m so honored that we went for as long as we did - it all just flowed.

Reflecting on it afterwards, this experience ended up being one of my absolute highlights after 12 years on the playa. I went to the burn with the primary intention to spend my personal time sharing music, and this set ultimately felt like a beautiful marker of a year spent digging, learning, traveling, feeling, and finding my voice in a what is a relatively new medium for me. 

Gratitude. As a fellow builder of art cars, it’s important to express how much this length of time in relation to such a unique and scarce resource means. Scotty and the entire Pineapple Motel crew, thank you for the effort to make it happen! Particularly special to get to play on the Funktion One that I’ve had the pleasure of tuning in New York.

Steve, Lilly, Jason, thank you for the opportunity and for your trust. What a pleasure to camp together in our little village out on the 2 o’clock side this year.  

Last fall, in an ongoing dialogue about creative mediums, my dear friend John Dill encouraged me to more seriously consider DJing. The year of ear training via vinyl has been priceless, as have all of the tips along the way from many I’ve looked up to over the years. Its been a wild ride this year, and I’m deeply grateful for the support , and a few others I’d like to call out along the way. Benjamin, Holmar, Vivian, Jason, Isaiah, Mark, Lauren, thank you! I’m planning to continue to follow my heart with this one and we’ll see where it goes from here.

Lake Burn Inaugural Set

*Songs With Words* — It's been three long years since I've released a set and while I don't know what I've been waiting for, luckily something about this one felt a bit different. During a week of relentless work, this was my first moment of play. As the clock struck midnight on Tuesday evening we were in the midst of a wild ride: from Diplo and Carlita at sunset, to Unders at sunrise, I had the pleasure of bridging the night amongst a sea of friends and familiar faces. Sometimes in the land of singing computers, it's nice to hear a few songs with words.

We're very happy to share with you a snippet of tunes from our 5-hour set on the beach at Maxa Camp!  It was just wonderful to spend the day on our favorite beach playing music to such a fantastic crowd.  We journeyed gradually from old funk, reggae, and Brazilian songs to the deeper dancey vibe you'll hear in this mix.  The day ended dramatically, with a surprise rainstorm, mini party in the DJ booth, and a giant rainbow to top it all off!  Huge thanks to the folks at Maxa for welcoming us <3
