Just happy to get to do an in person party for the Opel 19 Year Anniversary in the waning days of this f'ing pandemic, we celebrated on a beautiful Spring day into night on the street at Midway.  With long time friends Gabriel & Dresden headlining, and with the excuse of anniversary indulgence, I played much more melodic and trancey than my usual sets, complete with indulgent emo vocals and build ups.  As you'll see in the track listing though, I also played some fav's in the melodic house and techno veins to keep some sense of restraint.  With permission, a G&D classic towards the end. : )

Hope you enjoy!

Syd Gris - Live at Opel 19 Year Anniversary

This is a recap of the music I played all summer long at the T-Club for Truckee Thursdays.  House Music All Night Long! This set was also featured on 101.5 KTKE Truckee Radio for Soul-Titanium Radio Friday Nights from 9-11. 

Funked^uP Thursdays

I was booked for two sets for HH009 and neither recordings worked.  Since I didn't sleep Friday night, I hopped on the decks at 9am and put this together off the cuff for the morning brunch making crew (it was appreciated by some but not by those who were still trying to sleep:)  It's a mix of some deep house tracks, old school jams, house, funk, etc.  Best listed to for Saturday or Sunday brunch or unwinding after a long day.  Enjoy!

HH009 Downtempo Morning Set.WAV

A pre-recording of my set from THIS! Holiday edition w/ Hunt & Gather. Saturday, Dec. 18th. My goal was to not only bring those classic house tunes you can expect from Viva, but also integrate the psychedelic techy sounds that are well-known at Hunt & Gather parties.

Copeland -  THIS! Holiday edition w/ Hunt & Gather. Saturday, Dec. 18th.

A driving, lilting, multi-genre mix to fold hella laundry to

In The Key Of Violet

A vibe that is minimal, but melodic. Mellow, yet driven. A little murky at times, but mostly illuminated. This mix emerged from music that was inspirational to me during the pandemic.

DRIFT

It was so amazing to perform this two hour set live on Gabriel & Dresden's Club Quarantine. This mix is a combo of some of my unreleased originals and melodic dance music that inspires me deeply. There's a lot of love in this one...hope you enjoy!

Gabriel & Dresden Club Quarantine DJ Set

Trips through the Archives

Recorded live at The Common on December 22, 2022. This set nearly didn't happen at all. My first flight was cancelled due to weather and only thanks to some helpful folks on a different airline did I make it on time. It ended up being one of my favourite sets of the year. Thanks to all the friends who came out and to my Night Vision family and the Common for hosting! 

The mix includes 3 brand new tracks and I've left in some of the crowd recording. There are some pretty funny moments that were captured. Thanks to everyone who supported me in 2022. I appreciate you!
