This mix was created for a queer party in Denver, Colorado known as "The Bachelor Party" which was held in the basement of a cathedral. 
Darker than most my mixes, this mix seeks to be deep, sexy, psychedelic, and just when it's too hard and dark, I brighten it up with something of a lighter musical variety.

Feral (mix)

This past Saturday, the winter solstice of 2924, I recorded this left field, deep, psychedelic mix during personal medicine session. Honoring the darkness and turning inward to that root energy from your gut.

This mix is meant for your own headspace or healing ceremony. I conjured energy from medicine circles, the natural world, and my own life’s journey as I felt into my year.

I hope you too, reflect, go inward, and light a candle. A small flame to honor the brighter days ahead. 

I’ve been enjoying one take mixes like the past few I’ve put on my SoundCloud. I believe true art is in the intuition, honoring a moment of expression and not getting to hung up on perfection. A lesson in life that takes practice. 

Much love and respect to all the artists that allowed me to tell the story within this mix. Please follow and support them. 🖤
