NEW MUSIC WOOOO!!

I've been working on this tune for about a year now, i've tried so many different sounds & styles & it wasn't hitting how I wanted it to. This track is a HUGE reminder to never give up a project, i was ready to scap this song, & i gave it one last shot to make something work & came up with what you're hearing today. I genuinely couldn't be happier about the finished version. HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY, LOVE YAAAA❤️‍🔥

The day was hot as balls, we had just battled a wind storm that took out our camp, our fits are fly, and there's a cold beer in hand. The time is 5:30pm and the feeling's fine....The Junkyard is a go. What came next was a whole hoot of  friends, smiling faces, my cowboy hat blowing off, and a banana in my pocket someone snuck in. Lightning In A Bottle is special, and as always, I was real real honored to take the stage <3

Low Poly LIVE SET @ Lightning In A Bottle 05.22.25

a sunset dance party on the stacks stage at Lightning in a Bottle 2025...

Truly an amazing time with the Lightning in a Bottle family, this festival feels like home.  I was conflicting with Taiki Nulight this year which many complained about, however I decided to throw a full dance party and let the 140 bass heads go over to Taiki Nulight.  Definitely one of the most fun sets I've ripped, and had no plan other than full dance party vibes.  Huge thanks to the DoLab and Lightning in a Bottle teams for making it happen!

Dance party day-time, and demon mode night-time once it got dark ;)

Live @ Lightning In A Bottle 2025 [Stacks Sunset]

This was my opening set at The Junk Yard. At 12 PM on a Saturday afternoon, people bathing in the lake, resting, finishing Yoga classes, workshops, new arrivals walking by, and many other festival goers arriving little by little to the dance floor. What was supposed to be a pre-curated Progressive house playlist, it turned out to be a mix of different vibes. As a veteran DJ, I went with “reading the floor” and played what made dancers move and vibe. Within the first 30 minutes, people jumped out of the water, by-standers moved in to the dance floor, and by 12:45 PM, the dance floor and DJ booth was filled with beautiful dancing souls connecting, and exchanging energies that I will never forget. The Junk Yard stage will always hold a special place in my mind and heart. Thank you Patricio Beats for such an opportunity!

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!

Biography:

In his zone from deep house to techno, Ben Annand pairs impeccably smooth mixing skills with a dynamic style that keeps the music moving, artfully playing with breakdowns and spending most of his time in the mix.

“For me, a great mix is the interplay of 2 unique pieces of music, creating something greater than the sum of the parts - and a great set weaves those mixes into a musical flow you can’t help but lose yourself in on the dance floor.”

Ben fell in love with dancing and rave culture in 1995, and learned to mix in 1996. Just 2 years later he became resident dj at the famed Moontribe Gathering, and started his own production company, Tropical. The first half of his career was mostly focused on DJing abroad, with 13 trips to Moscow’s Propaganda club, travel across Russia, Spain, and Mexico, an appearance at Wiggle at Fabric in London and two at the Labyrinth Festival in Japan.  

In more recent years, Ben Annand became a top West Coast festival DJ, and recently played a standout set at his 5th consecutive Lightning in a Bottle (CA). He has also appeared at Sunset Campout and Desert Hearts (CA), Oregon Eclipse (OR), Photosynthesis and Cascadia (WA), Shambhala and Motion Notion (BC, Canada).

As organizer of Tropical, he's donated over $32,000 to charity, hosted zero-waste events in Hawaii, and presented gender-balanced dj lineups.

Whatever his project,, Ben Annand is always contributing, and always thinking outside the box.

A small town boy at heart, Benjamin was born and raised in Colorado, graduating from college in the small mountain town Durango, CO. With influences of everyone from Sasha to Prince, Whitney Houston to Dj Harvey his sound is best described with two words...lust and love. After making a name for himself behind the decks, playing alongside heavy hitters the world over, and working to throw and host absurd theme parties that were consistently sold out and ample amounts of strange…..he decided it was time to pursue the life of happiness for real, packed his bags, quit his career teaching, and moved out to San Francisco. Since then he’s shared the the bill with names like Damian Lazarus, Honey Dijon, Adam Ten, Sasha, Dj Tennis, James Zabiela, Pete Tong, Polish Ambassador and more. Plus, smashed the stages of Desert Hearts, Lightning In A Bottle, Sunset Campout, Northern Nights, Burning Man, and nearly every club in the city. He’s the man behind ‘You’re Welcome’ which is responsible for the luscious, and vibey The Garden Party, bringing in some old and new favorites from all across the world. His vision, taste, and drive have catapulted him to a consistent name stay in the SF underground.

Born and raised in Mexico City. Living in Los Angeles.  I enjoy playing Tech, Deep, Latin, Afro, Tribal, Minimal, Organic, Down Tempo, progressive.’x and Indi House music. I also grew up playing Techno in the early 90s. I enjoy playing at music Festivals, Undergrounds, Rooftops, private events and Clubs. I share my mixes with the world and for the love of music.

My most recent performances include several festivals and camps at Burningman and BeQuinox and Wild Nomads in 2023, Club Sirens, Members, Bling Tiger, Ritmo. Residencies at a few LA bars/restaurants and many private events such as the Mystic Manor and Flow Tribe in Venice, CA. 

In 2024 I co-own and DJ at Club Metro in Downey, CA.
