PLEASEd to launch softerPLEASE, a monthly mix series of Love Letters to how we decorate[d] Time. 

This first mix is dear to my heart, workshopped on and off for nearly a year and dropped on Valentine's Day because Tradition is important. It starts with a spank, rolls into bed, and wraps with a nod to two important people: my teacher and M/my Twin Flame.

Honoring that Sacred thread between us, I’m playing the music I love. Here’s some of the music I love…

softerPLEASE 01

If someone you love moves into a new home, give them a bunch of peonies to wish them luck in their new place. 

The second Love Letter to how we decorate/d Time, softerPLEASE 02 has been incubating next to 01 for nearly a year. This sibling is a little more flirty, slightly bashful, and pays homage to the concept of Home. 

What do we do when we thirst for firey fastness yet ground in tender, intentional slowness?

Is home in the moment you stop running and dance? Is home in our eyes? Is home The House? Is home in the Ancient familiar or is it in that exciting sense of newness? 

Maybe home is in the music. Maybe it's my body. Maybe it’s just everywhere if we want it to be…

Good thing humans can have multiple homes if we’re able and encouraged to tend to them. 

Honoring that Sacred thread between us, I’m playing the music I love. 

Here’s some of the music I love…

Like Home (Original Mix) - Love Remain

2You (Original Mix) - Nicolas Duque

softerPLEASE 02

You fall in Love. Make art about it. 
They break your heart. Make art about it. 

If grief is love with no where to go,
then what happens if I put mine into the music?

The third Love Letter to how we decorate[d] Time is an ode to the Beauty in a multitude of its forms. Sewn with the sexy, the eerie, the mind melt, the sweet, and the gorgeous, painful, sparkly Miracles I made from the lessons of the lies. 

Everything is a lesson if you’re looking to learn; W/we are here to teach each other. It’s Beautiful. 

How Beautiful. 

Honoring that Sacred thread between us, I’m playing the music I love.

Even the track titles tell the story.

softerPLEASE 03

I meant to record and post this mix in May. Turns out that pumping out a mix a month is hard in capitalism. Whatever. Here's now. 

This mix starts with a 10 minute long ambient track and I don’t give a fuck. 

It’s the sonic representation of my last year. It only chills in the melancholia for a little and that melancholia followed the part of my year when, if you heard those sounds, your soul would feel like it was being ripped in two. Mine did.  

So it brushes the sadness and the betrayal and the excruciating grief a little but doesn’t stay a while like I did. And then it dreams, because now I dream alone. 

I dream in my solitude, in my beloved solitude, and wake up gl/rowing in my fire.

Here’s what my dreams expanding sound like. 

Here’s what my Soul growing sounds like. 

Honoring that Sacred thread between us, I’m playing the music I love. 

Here’s some of the music I love…

Last May you left and everything was different. 

you had been in my dreams and my body and my breath and the air and whatever is between the air; all around me you were there. Always with me.

Last May I watched you walk away through my window like I always had. you never came back. Everything was different. 

And I turned in my bed and yearned in my head/rt and churned it all into a ball and stored it deep in my center, where no one can take it. And when I take it and circulate it I become my own twin and light my own flame and I think it will be even bigger than ours wa/is. Maybe one day you’ll bring yours back when you learn how to be with only yourself. Maybe you won’t. 

We dreamt together. Now I dream alone. (again. Been here before. Love/d it here.)

I dream in my solitude, my beloved solitude, and wake up gl/rowing in my fire. And you are always with me; though far more reliably, so am I. 

It’s the fourth Love Letter to how we decorate/d time. [you’ll think] maybe it’s about you. It’s definitely without you.

Closing set in the warehouse on Thursday night. 
Huge thanks to Aurora and all the festival staff. It meant the world to me!

Ben UFO - Sustain Release '23

This mix began in the place in between. It is an ode to the value in being comfortable with uncertainty, dedicated to empowerment through letting go. To me, surrender to what is is something to celebrate, and acceptance is necessary for change, growth and connection. 

Every single moment I have the honor of turning myself into somebody new. It’s a choice and I choose it. It’s beautiful. 

So this fifth Love Letter to how we decorate time dances in that beauty; it’s flirty and twinkly and confident and revels from root to crown, just like me. 

Honoring that Sacred thread between us, I’m playing the music I love.
