Ten years ago my life was changed when I attended my first FMG. Since then, Moontribe has been by large my greatest inspiration musically and it was a dream come true to get to contribute back to my favorite dance floor. The experience was everything I had hoped for and so much more.

Live @ Moontribe Oct 2023 FMG

As a kid, my love of music was inspired by family & friends with very different tastes but a common love for rhythm and dance that made a deep impression.  I began to find my own groove, and after picking up the guitar, I was hooked as a musician for life.

In the 90s, still a kid, I discovered techno and breaks at early Moontribe Collective events on full-moon nights deep in the Mojave.  It blew my mind.  This was the dawn of the So Cal desert rave, a revolutionary time and place, and I was hooked all over again...on something entirely new.

I'm so grateful for those early desert rave experiences.  They shaped my life in profound ways; much more than I could know at the time.  Through the rave community, I've found my closest friends, my life partner, and my passion.

May these mixes bring you some joy.  Thank you for listening :)  And whether to this music or any other you choose, I hope you dance!

Music, music, music, woodworking, music. 

Starting as a self taught bassist and later graduating from Berklee College of Music with a focus in music synthesis and production, Aric Sebastian (Solstice) pulls from his long and diverse career as a musician in all of his work. With early roots in soul, funk and disco, getting the audience to dance has always been priority number one. These days, Solstice is exploring the next logical step in the musical journey, the realm of DJing. Though you'll mostly find music based around techno and house and all of its cousins, you'll also find a little nu disco, electro swing and even trip hop sprinkled here and there as well.
