Sets by Dodd

Once again it is an absolute honour and pleasure to support Funkazba in their decompression fundraiser! I got to slip more into the sound I have been aligning towards of late which is deeper afro and melodic house. 

Wishing you all the enjoyment of this live recording x

September 6 2025 2am - Cowichan Bay, Vancouver Island, Canada

We have the best friends! We were blessed to have a gathering of dear friends and soul family who we put to work all day, and then made to dance all night celebrating the one and only @Cacadora!  it was an absolute blast, I am so grateful to everyone for their generous contributions of time and energy - we have the best friends!

This is a recording of the set I played; techno, dembow, ukg, progressive, trance and breaks inspired multi-gerne mash-up - which I've been told is not "all-over-the-place" ;) 
Hope you enjoy!

Thank you again, everyone!

Secret Art Car BM2025 Bass Set (2hr45min out of 8hrs) - Mix Session #25 by Smoke-Sama SFX

Never Stop Dancing is a mix series dedicated to all those who find themselves locked in the groove, time and time again. To those who find themselves eyes closed, lost in the music. To those who say "one more song" more than once. To those who live for the collective joy, community, and boundless self-expression of the dance floor. To those who never stop dancing. This mix series is focused on amplifying the sounds of DJs and producers in the Kootenays and British Columbia who honour the rich tradition of house, disco, and techno in their sets. 

@Deejaybasscat is a Kootenay staple. During festival season, she can be found bouncing up and down experiencing pure euphoria while DJing to the backdrop of beautiful BC landscapes. Her genre fluid style is known to get booties shakin' and feet steppin'. Bass Cat is also an amazing visual artist who has graced many-a-stage with her wiggly cedars pictured in the mix graphic. This dance floor enthusiast always brings the vibe, and I can't wait for you to check this soulful mix! Best enjoyed on a good sound system.

Another year, another Die Hard

Die Hard is an annual beach party that has happened on Dallas Rd. every February for the last 7-8 years now, in celebration of a phenomenal human being named Kit. I've had the pleasure of playing a morning set at most of them, and it is consistently one of my favorite gigs of the year. This year, Compass Rose and I shared the stage... Enjoy!
