Odyssey (2023) mix by Kelso

On this week's RIPEcast our close friend and PInk Mammoth resident DJ Jonathan Will with a live set poolside from Birds of a Feather 2024. 

From Jonathan, "This mix comes from closing out the pool party at the famed Birds of A Feather event on Saturday. 

There was so many things I liked about this party, different crews that don’t always get to play or be together because they do separate events, friends I hadn’t seen in years, bird puns (upon puns) for days, and great peeps. 

Special thanks to all the organizers that put it on and was honored to be amongst a killer set of djs with eclectic sounds. It was one for the bird books. Hope you enjoy."

A once in lifetime opportunity to share who I am through melodies and beats.  Every track represents who I am and my old school influences.  Music fills my inner core and the moment I step behind the decks, I am ready to soar.

This was my 1st time attending Joshua Tree Music Festival and it exceeded my expectations.  All the efforts come to fruition as displayed in the art, wellness, and musicality of this family-friendly desert adventure.  I fell in love with the organic warmth and intimacy that brought the Boogaloo Stage to life.  I was slotted a 2 hour set to close out Friday night and it was my time to express myself.

The amount of support from my Bay Area community and friends of decades past, was very humbling.  The moment I stepped up on that platform and saw the outdoor space filled with 360 degrees of revelers and smiles...I knew this was going to be a defining moment.

So much appreciation to Renee Young for believing in me and to Barnett English for his vision to embody that true independent music festival spirit and giving me the opportunity to shine. I did not know what I was capable of until I stepped onto that stage and felt the energy pulsing all around me.  

An epic moment that came together so perfectly where sounds were finely tuned and people were ready to receive.  Every track felt right and the nerves just melted away.  It magical and pure bliss.  This is dedicated to all my friends n' family who supported my love for music and to anyone who is ready to hear my story.

I have been blessed to host a night of the Chill-Out stage the last couple years at the best little festie that never happened here in So Cal - The Gathering.  As the party is hosted by the impecacble Chino Sound, I get to play pretty bass music the way it was meant to be experienced.  For the 11th year, I ended up playing a 10-hour set, but as luck would have it, my recorder only captured the first ~6 hours.  I've promised a friend I'd re-record those last 4 hours and give him the full 10 hour set, so if you would like that too, go to www.djleiftime.com and leave me your email with a comment.  I'll send it to you as well.
