your music will always mean so much to me. thank you and rip 🙏 

Tremendous feels! Thinking about the last time we danced together!
🥺🥺

Please be safe on the road. A person dies less than every 30 seconds on our roadways. This man was a inspiring DJ but a nightmare driver. Passenger was ejected and died in Colorado and two years later he and another driver died in Texas. Three lives gone, due to intoxicants and speed. Please be safe, we all want to get where we are going safe. With all the love of an orchestra, I want us all to be happy and free from harm. Chin up, eyes on the horizon and try to smile :)

The Do LaB presents Pumpkin Live from LIB 2014

To our excitement, Lucidity is quickly approaching as one of the first festivals of the season, but there is no reason or room for panic! Music is Love is here to help countdown your last days in the real world before you call Live Oak your home for the weekend. Much like last year, Music is Love has invited four artists to prepare their own promotional mix for Ludicity. We will be releasing a mix every week for a month until we are all together in beautiful Santa Barbara. Our first promo mix showcases Pumpkin and his uncanny ability to bring together music lovers from all areas with his “new familiar” sound.

Live at Funky Town - Sunday Morning Burning Man 2016

A long long time ago, I made a guest mix for the great (but now defunct) Vancouver music blog SKMB. Over the years it turned out to be many peoples favourite.

Straight out of 2014, some sunny day house for ya!

"This Guest Mix is best enjoyed on the ride home from a festival, something to unwind to and reminisce about the past weekends festivities. Bass Coast is coming up this weekend, Shambhala and Squamish Festival next weekend… add this mix to the list of things to bring, you’ll be thanking us on the way home."

Within Four Walls

Nicholas “Pumpkin” Alvarado is your new favorite music producer/DJ. His spot-on song selections, special remixes and original productions have made for unforgettable live sets that seamlessly span every genre and eschew the latest trends in favor of timeless melodies that will leave a ginormous smile plastered across your face.

Whether starting the party or closing it down, Pumpkin’s inspired mixes are always lovingly sequenced and aim to set the perfect mood. He’s played alongside fellow acclaimed house music mainstays like Lee Burridge, Justin Martin, Nick Warren and KCRW’s Jeremy Sole as well as progressive electronic music pioneers like Bluetech, Blockhead, EOTO and The Glitch Mob. Pumpkin has become an in-demand, fan-favorite at major music festivals like Coachella, Lightning in a Bottle and Sea of Dreams, where he closed the event after his musical hero, Trentemoller. Pumpkin’s acclaimed debut EP, “Love Letters,” featured collaborations with singer Katie Mowgli of the breakout band, The Mowglis and lyricist, EVeryman along with his sought after remixes from the likes of Florence + The Machine and Lila Rose.

He’s been part of the esteemed Pocket Underground family since 2006, when after playing in rock bands all his life, he found a new passion in the hypnotic rhythms of deep house music. Pumpkin honed his now signature sound by daring to incorporate the singer-songwriter, punk rock ethos and childhood nostalgia of his past, with the futuristic sounds of the present.

In everything he touches, Pumpkin’s colorful personality shines through and he loves nothing more than to have fun with his audience as his remixes for the likes Peter Gabriel, David Bowie and The Muppets will attest to. But whether you catch Pumpkin playing at a massive festival, packed club, underground warehouse party or a special sunrise set, you’ll never have more fun on a danceloor. Simply put, this is music to fall in love to.
