Uh oh. Gonna have to go get this onto the bigger speakers! 🔥😜

Coming out of the pandemic this year I was excited to celebrate this birthday having fun with friends. The energy, the turnout, the vibes were amazing! Thanks friends for making it so special. Here are some videos of the day: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUqL…GQiLM74rkIwtOZFL1GY

Lightning in a Botttle 2022 was my first big festival after the pandemic and it was HUGE - more than 30,000 people.  I played Thursday night and there were only 3 stages going and already 18,000 people there.  This set was played on the Junkyard stage to I don't know maybe 1500-2000 people - a secondary stage became pretty main, and the mains of course were nuts at this fest.

I knew exactly where was going with this set, coming out of the pandemic with pure unbridled euphoric house vibe on the edge of underground and mainstream.  People were freaking out, it was so so so lovely there I can't even tell ya ♡♡♡  

Incredible experience and before I go any further let me thank Jesse and Dede Flemming for throwing the whole shebang, and Patricio for curating the Junkyard stage formerly known as Favela Bar.

DJing is an art, or it should be.  I'm not just transitioning tracks, I am almost always playing with tracks together with very short gaps in between. I spend far more time in the mix of two tracks than out.  

DJing is also a performance, particularly at a festival, and to be honest I'm way more natural musically than as a performer.  I think the most important thing is how a mix sounds listening back - lots of the more 'showy' sets I can't get through live let alone listen to later.

BUT PERFORMANCE IS STILL IMPORTANT!  People want to see the DJ having fun, and that's not always natural for me.  

LIB has been a great confidence builder for me, my sets have steadily improved and my DJ energy even more :)  It's become home for me and I have a really nice following there after 5 years straight.

Much credit to the amazing sounding DJ booth provided by Todd Anisman of ChinoSound - who became Tropical's sound guru right after the first tome I played in 2016 - I felt my groove and put on at least a decent show along with a really nice house set.  

MUCH LOVE TO THE ARTISTS FOR THE TRACKS I WOVE TOGETHER - I hope you also listen and enjoy my art ♡♡♡  
Credit where credit's due, and bite my style all you want, it's super flattering and more importantly gives exposure to artists who likely get less than they deserve.  

Special shout out to Kevin McKay who I've been following since 90s Glasgow Underground - always one if my fave vinyl labels - for the peak moment in the middle of this set when the crowd absolutely exploded for 'Move Your Body'.  

And another to Christian Burkhardt for appearing the most in my track list - I guess you know who my favorite producer is lately :).
 
But really, really, all these tracks and artists are super great, please look up and support

Sharing love & connection though good vibes house & techno music!

This is the third DJ mix I've released in the lead up to the release of my debut Cptn Jay - "Loves You (EP)"! This time my original track "Heartbeat Tone" is featured, nestled in at the end there.

The track, and this mix in general, carries with it my deep hope if we all still our minds, listen to our hearts, and put more unconditional love out into the world that we will, very tangibly and directly, make our world a better place.

SAY IT WITH ME

you are love i am love we are love
you are beautiful i am beautiful we are beautiful
you are worthy i am worthy we are worthy
we will find our purpose
we overcome fears by following our dreams
we are in charge of our lives
we have the power to love and love will change the world

I took that right of passage at one of Seattle's longest running house weeklies, Flammable. 
My crew Underscore Recordings was asked to do a takeover and we lit the stage with several ranges of classic house. 
This mix features my soulful roots and one of my favorite genres of house to play. Enjoy!

Fun, upbeat, get you moving! How you hear it is how I played it! (Fade at the end due to talking to the crowd sans mic)

Surprise! Techno! Live @ Fairy Gothmother

This set is dedicated to Priscila Forni and all her closest family and friends. The Terrakroma 10 year anniversary was the last time I played a set with Priscila on the dance floor. She was a special person who was greatly loved by many in our Southern California outdoor music scene. She will be missed.
