I'm excited to debut the first edition of my Electronica Nostalgica series on Proton Amplified! The Proton Amplified initiative is an ever-evolving platform showcasing artists historically marginalized by the music industry, including but not limited to women, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ folks

With this series I'm hoping to explore all the facets of electronic music that influences me on and off the dancefloor. This 100-minute mix takes you on a journey through melodic electronica, epic uk garage breakbeat and trippy progressive house with tracks by Jamie XX, 1-800 GIRLS, Overmono, Icarus, Dusky, DJ Tennis, and some original tunes from me as well. Enjoy!

With the chatter of the art in the openening/warmup set being lost on the new generation, I thought I would put something gentle together. While this isn't exactly a dance floor opener, it does start to build just a bit as if it were. A softer, floaty mix of lovely tracks. Inspired by the rock solid YokoO, Kora and Satya records, the goal was a soft and consistent feel. Great for mornings, or really late nights. 

Love always. 

The Opener

Last month's guest mix was in the sunset, this month we take a turn for the darker. Bit more of an edge on these selections, tension in the melodies with some sharper tones.

There are just a couple of parties that I play enough times to make a completely specific set for each time, and make it my absolute best.

One is Lightning in a Bottle, which I'm not a resident of but have played 7 of the last 8 fests.

I've prepared for many different time slots at LIB, always looking at this large and spectacular festival as one where people primarily want to dance and have fun.

So I ramp up my funk and vocals (usually playful but i did have one protest lyric in this year's - you can't miss it).  

I lean on the uplifting side, spend a lot of time choosing music and organizing a playlist so i can play appropriately for my time slot and come back thinking it was one of the best sets I've ever played.  

Something that was different for me this year is I took a year and a half off from buying new music prior to LIB in order to reporganize my collection, which now spans 30 years.

Sometimes it's better to understand better what you already have before adding to a massive music collection.

But I never intended my break to be that long!  It just kept going.  And I had a couple of hard drive farts in the middle which didn't help.  

But anyway,  I started buying music again about two months ahead of LIB because I wanted to play an all new music set,  and I also wanted to to  take the time to understand the new music very well.

The problem with playing all new music at a gig is that I don't always take the time to understand it well enough to know if it's as good as the music I already have.  It's fun because it's new... but is it really adding something?

So this time I really took the time to select tracks - I was picky AF!  
This time I spent a lot of time also to play with my tracks, mix them in different ways and really try to only include tracks that were blowing my mind, so that I could give that to the dance floor.

Also spent a lot of time on tagging producers in this description - hope it helps you to discover some great new artists and music!
