4am is such a delicate timeslot; it crucially requiring engagement from a crowd growing tired, yet us also sensitive to overstimulation. This is a taste of how we do 4am.

There are relationships that provoke the best in one another, that constantly challenge each other to be their best.  Dao & Pwny, both old school veterans, started a collaboration in 2008 that would change both them and their audience.  Their divergent style influenced each other into a cohesive Deep sound.  They shun the narrow term Deep House, and instead embrace everything bassy & Deep, creating a cohesive amalgam of deep house, deep breaks, deep tech, and cerebral emotive grooves that defy genres.  True musicians, their unplanned live dialogue is tethered by harmonics and key changes primary to beats and groove.  Yet, they're locked into the crowd and rule the groove, with songs changing phases often and evoking somatic soulful dancing. They entice, they tease, they hit your g-spot, and we all come together.  Their love is palpable and their stage presence is deep in it with the dancefloor.  A genuine treat for both your hips, ears, and soul.

Welcome to my SoundCloud page, how nice of you to stop in! 

I was born and raised in the San Francisco bay area and feel lucky to be residing in SF in an especially lush and fertile environment for electronic music culture at this moment. Lately I've been mixing deep house, tech house, minimal..... but as always, tracks are whatever I find atmospheric, well produced, and/or have a certain vibe/groove.  When I hear a track for the first time, my jaw hits the floor and I yell "WTF is THIS?!?" ...that's the track I want to play, all of the time! :-D

In 2003 I started playing vinyl with the intention of mixing and DJing.   I switched to CDJs in 2010 -  vowing never to travel to the desert with records again - which was becoming a yearly phenomenon.              
As much as I was loathe to abandon the vinyl format, the realization that vinyl is not environmentally sustainable, that I would be able to collect more music, and support more artists by moving to digital solidified my conviction.  

I always ID tracks on my mixes I post to the best of my ability, and take care to keep notes during any session - whether it's in the bedroom or playing out live - for the purpose of crediting artists and passing on the enjoyment of great music to the listener.  I hope you enjoy some of the music that moves me.   And, please, please support the artists we love by purchasing their tracks!  :)

You will find several tracks repeated in the mixes I post, which is unorthodox. I broadcast a live DJ set most Tuesday mornings ( Brunch With Pwny on www.mixlr.com/pwny ) and gig actively. I have tracks that survive the test of time and when it's the right time to use an older track, I will do so. Most mixes I post now are recordings of the live broadcast or of a gig.
