20+ years of Moontribe has meant many ups and downs, we have seen weddings there, a death, and a couple of memorials for community members who have passed on way before we wanted them too.  This was the most intense of all Moontribes for me as we celebrated the life, and came to grips with the recent death, of our sweet and loveable friend, Nico Rojas.

This 3-hour set was played between 10:20am and 1:20pm on Saturday, October 18, 2013.  Emotions ranged from light - being engaged in a marshmallow fight with friends on the dancefloor, to heavy - open grieving on the dancefloor with the music playing.  The music also reflects this play between light and more somber/thoughtful energies, one of the best I've played and certainly the most emotional.

If you can, please listen to this set in its entirety as I have tried listening to parts and it really doesn't work as well.  Try it on a long drive, cleaning the house, or when working through some issues .  

Finally, send some love to Nico, to his brother Mauricio, and mother, Lisa, and all his family and friends who miss him dearly in this world.  Both the music and the way it is mixed were meant as in memory of his life and in honor of his loving spirit.

Live at Fledgling Hawk Moon FMG -- November 2013 (Free Download)

Deep in the Mojave Desert, under the November full moon known among many names as the "Moon When All Is Gathered In", we gathered and danced for the last time in 2013 . . . and what a gathering it was! This set was played in the wee hours of the night into the sunrise, during a most epic moonset. 
Many thanks to everyone who 'gathered in' to bring this very active year of Full Moon Gatherings to a close with such a wonderful dance. 
Love and peace to all. Enjoy the music!

( Video of this set: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhjxjh1Jeu8 )

During 2013's summer solstice full moon, thousands of dancers, artists, and family gathered to celebrate 20 years of magic with Southern California's beautiful Moontribe Collective. 

We are halfway to 2014's Solstice already -- so here's a something to spark those memories and reinvigorate this year's full moon hunger.

This set was played from 6:30pm - 8:30pm during the moonrise of the solstice welcoming the 100% full moon to the night, playing after LOUD (https://soundcloud.com/loudmusic), and before dela Moontribe (http://soundcloud.com/delamoontribe). 

This set is free to download, always.

Digital sharing of music has allowed me (so far) to save nearly 15,000 promotional CDs while reaching a larger crowd than physically possible. Thank you for your contribution to this effort, and enjoy these free tunes while reducing waste!!!!

Moontribe 20-Year Anniversary

Close your eyes, open your heart to the primordial grooves and surrender yourself to the mystical rhythms of the night! This set is very special to me and easily one of the best I've ever done.

Moontribe's 21-Year Anniversary

Recorded live Friday night at the 10th and final Esthetic Evolution Festival in Twin Springs, Idaho.  

It was an honor to play at both last year’s and this year’s EE parties!

For my set I went back through my music collection in honor of the 10 years of the festival and played a relatively classic set mixed through 10 years of music rather than my usual ‘fresh off the press’ offering :)

Sad to see such great party end but have a feeling that the end of an old favorite will be followed with the beginning of something new ;) Such a beautiful spot and beautiful experience there the past 2 years.

Big thank-you to everyone involved in this great production for having me up again!



Live at Esthetic Evolution 10, Twin Springs, Idaho, June 20, 2014

Preparing for liftoff... the first time I ever got a chance to open at Moontribe - this set set the pace for the rather intense energy for the evening.

This set was dedicated to my very good friend, Austin Speed, who brought me into the Moontribe community.  I love you.

Ubiquitous FMG July 2014

Live under the full moon at July 2014 Moontribe Gathering, just sunrise.  I tried to bring some funkiness and even a little breakiness to the dance floor, while maintaining trippy outdoor textures.  Hope you like!  If so, please favorite and feel free to share, repost, etc.


Ben Annand Live at Moontribe July 13, 2014

Following on the heels of Ben Annand's great morning set, we kept it going until it was too hot to dance any longer (about 2.5 hours).

Share, download, like and all that good stuff.
Recorded somewhere deep in the Mojave.

A full journey through tribal, breaks, tech house and ambient.
Hint:  wait until you can listen to this start to finish - starting in the middle is no fun.

"Skillfully blending deep bass, earthy percussion, etheric voices and culture-crossing instrumentation into a sonic incense for mind and body, Desert Dwellers offers a spellbinding hybrid with echoes of our tribal past and future. Using the internet as a collaborative space in which concept albums are created, these sound alchemists use cutting edge techniques that blend the modern edge of electronica with the ancient sounds of cultures past.  The result has been the prolific production of genre blending dance tracks and downtempo grooves that make for truly memorable listening experiences."
