first mix of 2021... its definitely been a while. not gonna lie, it's been pretty hard trying to find time or even the passion to make mixes anymore. 

the past year and a half have been exceptionally... wild, to say the least. i feel like most of us are definitely all different people now, trying to either find normalcy again or trying to define a new normal. either case, i like to think we're all just trying to ascend from the depths and lows of last year. here's to an ascendant future...

ASCENDANT (a future bass, trap, and dubstep mix)

until we fade into each other again

where you found me

we'll be okay

hey guys,

this month marks a year since i started making DJ mixes and posting them on here. i know it's not much and i'm still a rookie when it comes to alot of things, but it's definitely safe to say that this hobby has been growing on me ever since i started last summer, and without a doubt it's become a favorite passion of mine. idk where i'll go with this but i hope i'll keep growing and improving for the future. anyways, i made this mix with that thought in mind - to show my progress and what i've picked up from trial and error so far. i've never worked harder or longer on any other mix before, and i've never been more excited to share this with you all... hope you enjoy it!! thanks for listening fams, please like and share if you like :) 

yours truly,

andy

ascension

basically my feelings  about summer ending, and the great moments of it with friends, family, and my better half. hope this leaves those who don't want summer to end in a better mood for the fall.

i'm so glad i found you

I've been sitting on this project for a few months now, mostly because I haven't found the right songs to complete it until very recently. It's more of a feels mix - only appropriate for cold cuffs szn and nye retrospections, right? 

happy new years y'all

tracklist:
into the light - slushii x now or never (yetep remix)x you alone - psychic type [satori mashup]
language (anki remix)

finding myself - yitaku & Madnap
without you - slander
light (grant remix)
freesol (dabin remix)
sad machine (k?d remix)
leave this place x sad machine (satori mashup)

satori - Dreams

so i usually try to makes sets that have a theme or narrative around it... for this one i originally wanted to make a mix with a feeling of being at home - whether it be in the comfort of your own house or just a mindset of seeking shelter from hard times… but what came out felt a bit more primal, and seemed more about the feeling of being lost in general and trying to find balance. hope y'all can relate and enjoy.

hope y'all enjoy

"Before love I was always lost, drifting at sea
You were the beacon I followed home
You were the one that rescued me"

alesso x porter robinson - cool language (satori mashup)

sorry i haven't been posting as much recently, i've been dealing with writer's block in terms of making mixes that i felt were good enough to put out... maybe it was because i was losing motivation because i was tired of work and school everyday. but i stuck thru it and finally came together for this set.

i've been thinking alot about the future, probably because i'll be graduating soon and need to start planning more for my future/adulthood lol. naturally, this made me think about the past too... how we didn't have to worry so much about the future, because the future was still so far away. well now, the future is right in front of me, and i'm trying to figure it out along the way.

anyways, this mix is a bit nostalgic, a bit hopeful, and of course a bit anxious... but i hope you can enjoy the journey with me. please like and share if you like!!

also, the last 10 min are prob my fav

satori - reflections in bloom (april mix)

its already late may but fk it, may is when the weather and festival season start warming up, so might as well help turn up the heat. i've been super busy with school and work so haven't made time for any mixes until now. also have more collabs and new stuff on the way so stay tuned.

pls like and share to support!! 


TL: SOON

satori - the warm up (may trap/dub mix)

a follow up to "reflections in bloom"

so glad to hear all the responses to that mix, you don't know how much i appreciate y'all listening, enjoying, and supporting me in my endeavors. so here's another one of the same vein, i'm still in a similar headspace creatively, trying to feel and work out my transition from stage of life into another.  so i made this as a break from studying for finals and prepping for graduation... here's to the feeling of always wanting to do and be better.  

in case you were wondering... 
- kensho refers to what you takeaway from a satori experience (such as reflecting), hence the title 
- yes, spider-man has always been my fav superhero (sorry dark knight fan bois)

I'm wrapped in guilt 
And tormented at the thought
That the seas can be just as unforgiving,
the nautical void, as rough and cold as my heart
I'm reminded of you,
and how the ship keeps on sailing,
Unrelenting, through the dark

Hey guys, so I’m back with what you can call another feels mix? or should I say the start of a new mix miniseries?? Not for sure yet, but I know that I wanted this project to be different from other spring mixes. It started out as something that I wanted to make to encapsulate my feelings and experiences of the last few months, but then I realized a single hour-long mix isn’t nearly enough to fit in everything I wanted to do. So I decided to tentatively break it up into 2-3 parts that should also be coming out in the following weeks as well, and it’s sort of a documentation of my learning and growing process.

Also sorry if this mix doesn’t sound as cheerful as others or what’s usually expected of springtime. The last few weeks or months have been a challenging time for me in terms of personal growth, change, and just figuring out myself in relation to others, particularly those have always been there for me. This mix is catharsis for that growing and healing process, an internal struggle to admit and face a reality that I’d put off for so long. So with that, hope you can also enjoy the journey with me. 

Special thanks to @itsnellemusic and @srntymusic for feedback and critique!!

postscript 01: unresolved

had the amazing opportunity to open for BLOOM w/ nelle + friends this past weekend!! my first time playing solo at a sold out show was phenomenal and i wish i could go back T.T too bad I don't have the time stone to reverse time and create alternate realities,  but at least I have the live set from there loool hope you enjoy!

Like flowers blooming in a lonely field
The petals drift through crossing winds
They find their way to river streams
That scent the water beautifully, it takes me back to you
It takes me back to you"

DIALECTIC

Like many other people right now, I also have loved ones who are currently working in the medical field trying to fight this pandemic right now. They are the ones working 24/7 to keep our communities safe, healthy, and functioning... the fact that I had the opportunity to participate in a charity stream is beyond humbling. I'm grateful to say that we as a collective raised over $9000 towards the Dollar Challenge, a donation drive by Modern Enlightenment to procure vital PPEs for our healthcare workers. In total, the Dollar Challenge has so far raised about $26,000 towards this effort, with 8,000 masks already delivered to several LA hospitals and another 20,000 on the way!

Access to PPEs is essential to keeping OUR healthcare workers safe, and I'm so proud and thankful to have been part of an effort to help ensure that. I'm really hoping this makes a big impact, and that we also have future events continuing this effort. Thank you to LPDT, modern enlightment, and BTO Collective for coordinating CYBERFEST and the donation drive.

This is just beginning of the fight to keep our communities safe and healthy. Let's keep each other safe, stay home, wash your hands, and stand in solidarity with ALL frontline workers!! Also please do not go to the beach... or inject lysol lol

quarantine sessions: 001 - trapped in the house

i made this set for@embracepastel 's OMNI 2 event, which is a livestream series dedicated to showcasing extraordinary audio/visual cinematic, narrative-based sets from talented producers and DJs. i was pretty honored and excited to be a part of this series, not only because it was my first time creating a visual set, but also because the story i wanted to tell, i believe, fits with the current atmosphere that we're all living in right now - how do we stay mentally, emotionally, physically,  and spiritually well during this time of crisis? how can we be happy with every thing going on?

for me, part of happiness is realizing the community we have, the support we have, and how we can find strength through each other... happiness is a process, and it takes a village.

i'll work on a tracklist later!

satori comes from the zen term for understanding oneself, or the nature of things. whatever that may be to you, i know for me it involves expressing myself through music, and trying to connect with others through my work as well. hope you enjoy what you find on here.
