Recorded live from Mr. EyesLee's Playground Episode #174. This was a long time in the making. 2024 started out really rough and grew into an even darker time in my life. But throughout the summer I changed my life, a lot of self reflection, and came out the best version of myself. My love language is music and I express myself best through it. Here is the result. I call this mix Existential. A trip through my own psychosis and ending the crisis in my mind. I hope you feel as much as I did while making this.

Recorded live at Ascension - Take a Journey through Trance with us
Central Connecticut - March 14, 2025

Team Avian's trance party Ascension was a delight to attend, with a late 90s/early 00s throwback vibe that made for a sublime experience. I got to delve into my UK Hard House/Trance roots to dig for tracks I had back in the day on wax and some newer flavors to round out my USB. Kohaku's melodic set before mine set the bar high and I pulled the tempo up higher, cruising at 147bpm after an Energy 52 medley to blend out of her. Many thanks to Di for letting me indulge my roots and playing what was honestly a better set than any of those ones back on wax.

Episode 207 w Twist of Fate
Aired June 22, 2025

After a couple of heavy weeks within the New England dance music community (RIP Teddy and Lex), the mood was right for a deep dive in tempo on the Playground. I opened up with a half hour of downtempo and halftime before Twist of Fate took us on a two hour deep progressive house excursion. I finished out the stream with some vocal house tracks to round out the night. 

Playground Episode 207 w Twist of Fate - June 22, 2025

Mr. EyesLee is a Boston-based DJ specializing in the soulful side of jungle and DnB, matching vocals and basslines with three deck blends and cuts to bring the listener on an auditory journey. Mr. EyesLee plays sets full of blends and moods from 160 bpm and up, taking the listener on a journey from start to finish. Whether 160, jungle, liquid, or rollers, he always has a heavy focus on basslines that move the crowd, wasting little energy as he blends tracks and themes and keeps the dancefloor wanting more

After coming up through the southeastern US rave scene in the late 90s/early 00s, Mr. EyesLee now primarily performs around New England, currently holding residencies at elements (the longest running single-venue DnB weekly in North America) and Playground: Field Trip in Cambridge, MA, and has played events from small weeklies, to long-running monthlies, and large festivals from CT to ME. Highlights include Tropical Dreams in Sturbridge, MA, Tight Crew raves in Providence, RI and Boston, MA, and opening support for acts such as BCee, Degs, and Paul T & Edward Oberon. 

In addition to live shows, Mr. EyesLee also runs the Playground, “Your Sunday destination for dnb, jungle, and other high tempo tunes”, streaming Sundays 8-11PM EDT, on Twitch.tv/MrEyesLee, and first Sunday live Field Trips at Zuzu in Cambridge, MA, with guests having come from around New England and beyond in 200+ shows and counting. The Playground focuses primarily on Drum & Bass/Jungle and associated subgenera, letting DJs showcase their take on DnB. Guests have come from around New England and beyond, with every state in the region, along with CA, NY, NJ, and VA, having been represented at least once among the 200+ weekly shows to date.
