RÊVERIE

Happy full Wolf moon in Cancer friends.  ❤ ❤ ❤
I’ve posted a collection of music that is very special to me to coincide with this auspicious occasion.  

It’s been such a year of grief and loss for many of us. Death has come closer to me than ever before.  I’ve been deeply affected by the passing of some dearly beloved beings and continue to attempt to come to terms with the understanding that we will all eventually have to say goodbye to one another.  

I’ve called this set Key To A Memory. it’s about grieving and remembering and the marks we make on each other. The things that remind us of what is gone.  It’s about the intricate tapestry our lives weave together. It’s about the bitterness of accepting loss. It’s about the release of letting go.  It’s about cherishing the time we’ve been given and returning to gratitude.  Embracing death and celebrating life. 

Compiled and arranged in the deep winter months on the Sunshine Coast in BC. the dark and gloom are palpable. Though i hear a hint of spring in there at times as well. like seeds buried in the snow dreaming of the sun.


I know I take myself pretty seriously sometimes. It is just a DJ mix after all haha. Yet these songs mean a lot to me and the feelings they convey help me move through these moments with all the grace I can.  I hope that you will enjoy.  LOVE ALWAYS 


Xx dee

The Cozies Vol. 13

I'm pleased to share a special blend of music from a very special trip this summer.  Boreal is a very unique weekend with amazing people in an amazing place and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to play a part.

I was tasked with providing a soundtrack Saturday morning welcoming sleepy heads out of their tents to brunch by the rivers edge with gentle sonics building to daytime vibes as the sun shone strong with a big day ahead.

Please enjoy this live recorded journey in sound as I drew inspiration being immersed in the natural beauty of Ontario summer with mist rolling off of a stunning waterfall in the distance.

Niko @ BOREAL 2023 [ambient - downtempo - hiphop - dubstep]

This was a set I created for Tropical's 16th anniversary campout in 2014 held at a yoga retreat center in California. Most of the weekend's music was house music, but there was a block of ambient-into-downtempo on Saturday morning. Starts off ambient and rises into danceable trip hop & downtempo.

The recording of my set had technical issues, so this is a recreation in my studio. Mastered by @EasternSun

2. @Gi-yo - Astro (Give You All I Can)

Mechanical Heart

Curated and recorded on Dec 27th 2020, a grey rainy day on Salt Spring Island. 

A fragrance that transports you into realms of stillness. 
A space awaiting to be seized by an attentive mind. 
A quill drawing multichrome feathers from vaporous ink.
