Junk Yard ~ LIB 25'

Dear lovers,

This one means the world to me.

Playing at Lightning in a Bottle — my favorite festival on the planet — was more than just a set… it was a dream turned reality. To everyone who came out to dance with me at the Junkyard, and to everyone listening now: thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your energy, your presence, your love — it made this moment unforgettable.

LiB is magic. It always has been. The art, the music, the people — there's something in the air there that you can’t find anywhere else. I leave every year inspired, expanded, and overflowing with love. This year, I got to be a part of that magic in a whole new way.

This set is the most important thing I’ve ever shared. I spent the last 6 months producing every second of it — 27 original tracks, crafted to take you on a 90-minute journey through sound, story, and movement. It's everything I am, everything I believe in, and everything I want to give to the world.

To Patricio — thank you for seeing me, for believing in me, and for giving me the opportunity to play the Junkyard. I’ll never forget it.

And to you, the listener — thank you for being here. Press play, close your eyes, and come dance with me.

With love always,
XO

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!
