Recorded live on a lovely Friday evening at MeloMelo - Oakland. It had been several months since I played a showcase set there and it felt so good to throw down for three and a half hours. We started out in the world of organic, exploring gems from labels like #amulanga, #alldayidream, and #lostandfound. But it wasn't long before we cruised into the deep and progressive vibes.  If you're a #Marsh fan, this mix is for you. I played 10 different Marsh tracks throughout the night, six of which were off of his new record, 'Endless', that dropped that same very day. 

Releasing this set publicly is an exercise in letting go of perfection. I initially kept this one private due to a few mistakes in my mixing. But, after reflecting on the fear of others hearing my flaws, I've decided to release it.  A poem by Marianne Williamson, entitled "On Our Deepest Fear", came to mind:

"And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." 

Aside from the few oops moments, I am super stoked on this set. I had so much fun and the crowd was vibin'. I hope you enjoy.

Love, 
.:Raz:.

Live @ MeloMelo 2.3.23: An Organic Journey Into The Deep

Originally from Miami FL, Rick began to DJ in '87. A decade later, he was introduced to House music while living in Atlanta. He was a resident for Starchildren, who had a long standing Friday night residency at Club Sol. He became a local favorite and was asked to work at Satellite Records, under Tommy Sunshine, where he held a part time job for several years. After a small hiatus and a move to Denver CO, he started a family and has now returned to his passion. His new mix series, "Unwind Your Mind", is influenced by the desire to be able to put aside your daily troubles and enjoy some music therapy. You can catch him every 2nd Friday at 4PM Mountain; alongside fellow "Crate DGGRRS", Darren Gibbs and Gabe Real on www.saturosounds.com.

With dance music roots that stem from a love for 2000s trance and techno, Texas-born Andrew Pinkowitz turns lifelong curiosity into creative opportunity by diving beyond the static noise of daily life into the deeper textures of organic house. Pinkowitz’s productions blend the ethereal and the melodic, creating dynamic dancefloor explorations of darkness and light. Digital life in the pandemic age brought about his first release, a collaboration with Mexico’s Ricardo Angeles released on Sound Avenue in 2022. That track, “Hidden Pathway,” was followed by entries on Nordic Voyage, Keyfound, 3rd Avenue, Amulanga, and The Purr. His work has received support from the likes of Hernan Cattaneo, Eli Nissan, Fernando Ferreyra, Death on the Balcony, and artists around the globe.

Closer to home, Pinkowitz is a collaborative leader in the lush landscapes of Colorado’s rising melodic house scene as a member of the Sky Terrace Collective. On the decks of Denver’s Club Vinyl, Mockingbird, and The Church, he fashions discourse from downbeats, combining danceable favorites with uncommon treasures and samplings of works-in-development. Pinkowitz’s affinity with audiences forms compass points in sonic journeys that have led to supporting Lee Burridge and Durante - which guide his path toward innovation and evolution in the years to come.

I paint sounds with emotion. I've been a long time lover of electronic music, and my heart and soul lies in the wave forms of deep house. I picked up a pioneer controller in April of 2022 and gave it everything I had. Mixing music is the most healing and empowering thing I have discovered in life. I hope you enjoy the sonic explorations here on this page.

Much love,
Raz
