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 :)

Still JAMMING out to this 11 years later. You had something so special, so much grattitude for providing so much of my fornative life sections’ soundtrack 🖤

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.

The Do LaB presents Pumpkin at Woogie Weekend 2015

This song collection came completely unexpected to me over the last two days, from a place of pure flow. I watched a few videos of a very special human, music producer, DJ and friend, the late and oh so great Pumpkin. He talked about playing "that pretty shit" to make the beautiful people smile. I read a quote from him about taking risks with DJ sets, and I know from our chats that he's all about coming from the heart. It is completely out of my comfort zone to share this with you, I really don't know how to mix so many diverse songs, I found myself thinking that the transitions should be smooth as butter before posting this, I judged myself for not being good enough to do anything to honour such an amazing man of music- but then I was reminded of his words, and I decided that I don’t want to wait to share this pretty shit with you. Most of Pumpkin’s produced tracks are in here, woven with other songs that just remind me of my friend, make my heart smile, and my booty wanna sway. I love you. I hope you enjoy.

Pretty Shit: a musical exploration inspired by Pumpkin.

The tribute set I put together for my Thursday afternoon set at The Stump N Stone Stage. First half is a Pumpkin Tribute and the second half is a Jon H Tribute. This was a very challenging project and I am so excited to say that this is the one take, live recording of the set live at Tall Tree. Jon and Nick are two of my biggest influences in DJ'ing, not only for what they do behind turntables/controllers, but the way the present themselves in a daily manner. We miss and love you both so much. And extra props to Qdup, Everyman and Tuck In Tyler for helping facilitate lots of the music used in this mix and for providing vocal recordings that are used in the mix. Put your hearts up for Nick and Jon, you will always live on through your music!

Night Spell 8

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.
