Back to the monthly series after a little holiday break, this mix plays with a bit of dark and light. Some tunes in here that oscillate between melancholy and optimism, dark at times but playful at others. A bit of rumble, a bit of sparkle.

Diffraction: In Shadow

Mark Slee - Diffraction: In Shadow [February 2022]

Paying tribute to Cece Blake is a vexing task. She was such a multi-faceted character, any collection of words (or music) feels like it will be frustratingly incomplete. The longer you spent with Cece, the better you got to know her, the more you came to realize just how much more there was to her story. Rich new chapters with intersecting casts of characters that you didn't even know about. And yet Cece was no chameleon. She existed in many worlds but I never felt that she changed her colors. Quite the opposite, she always knew how to be herself. In hindsight, I think Cece was more like a prism - the colors were always there, if you only knew the angles from which to look.

Things I adored about Cece: her cool confidence, her seemingly effortless and unerring sense of style, her tough-as-nails pride (even if to a fault), her ability to gracefully ignore bullshit, her endlessly patient demeanor, her earnest love and encouragement of artistic expression.

Dance music was the initial force that brought Cece and I into each other's lives, long before we even realized. Years into our friendship, after it had grown well beyond the club, I recall our amusement at digging through online party photos and spotting ourselves unknowingly side by side on the same dance floors, there all along. I never thought of Cece as being the "life of the party." She was too reserved for that, not the type who needed everyone to acknowledge her presence. But she was very much the "soul of the party." Present for the right reasons, letting her energy flow, sensitive to the experience of others, available for connection without ever demanding attention. And yes, every once in a while finding the right moments to let it rip.

There is just too much music to pick from, and this mix is definitely not an attempt to express or summarize Cece's tastes. Honestly, Cece might find this a bit too sappy. Some of the tracks and artists in here I do know were very special to her, but mostly this mix is just about my fondness for her and the loving energy that she shared with so many of us, which I miss very much and will always remember.

Mix titled after the poem by Maya Angelou:

In Memoriam: Phenomenal Woman [Remembering Cece Blake]

Mark Slee - In Memoriam: Phenomenal Woman [Remembering Cece Blake]

It's hard to express in words what I experienced during my first Burning Man set on Playa. This event took place on the first of September at sunset at the campground located on 7-C. 
 Huge thanks to the organizers of this camp and all the people there for creating this amazing experience! 
 Special thanks to the Modi Nochi ( Mudi Nochi 7-J) camp and everyone who was a part of it for this priceless experience!
 Special thanks to our camp leader Moshe Wilker, without you this extraordinary Burn would not have happened to me.

Something a little different for ya.  Me at my moodiest.  In more recent years I apply tags to my tracks of different vibes so that I can organize my massive music collection better.  One of the biggest categories is 'Moody.'  

Of course a lot of people going out on Friday and Saturday night to my gigs are out to celebrate, so this category doesn't get as much play live as more funky upbeat rhythms.  As such it's somewhat underrepresented on my Soundcloud.

Well not anymore :). I'm dedicated to releasing more sets this year and I see this one as the start of a series.  Welcome to Ben Annand Moody AF :). 

The opener of this series is an opening set I played on a Sunday night from 9-11pm. It's actually just the first hour, 9-10.  It's ok to be moody when people are settling in :). It was also November just after the time change and loss of light... the beginning of the moody season in Eugene :)

An opening set is always interesting musically (or should be) because you get to start from scratch, and set the tone for the whole night.  So it's always a set that should be played with intention.

In this particular case, I was in a sensitive space because I had taken some really nasty criticism from the organizer of an event recently before.  I won't go into detail but it was very tactlessly and cruelly delivered.  So of course that affected my headspace both in terms of insecurity, and in terms of wanting to deliver a great set since I didn't entirely disagree with the criticism so much as I was hurt by the tone from a supposed friend.

So why am I telling you this?  Because this set is moody as fuck!  It opens with a lush vocal track that really spoke to me when my marriage suddenly went up into smoke. I find this track really intense so I haven't played it much but at home.   

The mix stays deep and moody, gradually building energy then wavering then building.  It's super trippy, a little dark/melancholy for me, but still house and totally danceable of course :)

So with all that said, I hope you enjoy this one and I will keep em coming!

Happy re-listening  @thefanclubcollective!!

All I can say is: I feel grateful for playing my 2nd time at this festival, for the beautiful people I got to meet, for the friends, and the beautiful memories we created  together. Thank you, Olivia and Gab, for having  me, and to all the wonderful crew who helped make this happen!

Dancing in the sun, grooving in the rain - my set captured the vibrant festival spirit. Gracias to all the incredible souls who danced with me!

I hope you enjoy the journey! 🎶

Our sunrise outting at Burning Man is one of my favorite happenings each year. It's a culmination of our art car project, the Dirty Goat Roadhouse, DJing, and celebrating a new day with loved ones. It's pretty special. 
This mix is a selection of tracks that I don't play out very often. These are not bangers or heavy hitters, but a collection of minimal/deep/tech/melodic house music spanning over 15 years. This sunrise was right before the big storms, the sky was spectacular. Please enjoy the mello vibes.

Sometimes, it's necessary to take things as they come. This also applies to track speeds. It's quite nice to play them at their original tempo. Enjoy this set, which has inherited its name from an exceptionally beautiful song by Lucio Battisti.

Zeebo aka Mike Zaretzke has been a true soldier for our underground community > on the dance floor, behind the decks, and behind the scenes.
As a dj, Zeebo's has put in some serious work to develop his sound and skills over the past few years, his debut set at Flammable is a lovely reflection of his range and abilities to keep butts on the dance floor. 

Enjoy the set and lookout for more of his appearances this summer!
