This is a blend by blend re-recording of my set from Big Moon 2024, a rainy end-of-Summer romp at an old Summer camp in the area once dubbed the “American Alps” by marketers.  
The event organized by some of my best friends in the scene. It featured an impressively high concept chill room freakout room, a  sound system hand built by my day one Bellingham homie, Xander (dj_oily), and perhaps most notably for a renegade party: actual functioning bathrooms, the kind with plumbing and fans.  
I was invited to play a peak-time set by one of my favorite peak-time DJs in the scene, Eve Defy, so naturally I wanted to show out. Xander played before me, and having bonded over our love of hardgroove many times before, I knew how I’d start off the set.   On the other end of the tempo spectrum, the midtempo 100bpm zone really speaks to me production-wise, and probably 80% of the tracks I’ve finished this year have been in that range and I wanted to figure out an excuse to play them out. Conveniently when I touched base with Mimi Zima, who played after me, where she’d like to start, she, unprompted said “around 100bpm”.  In between, I decided to try the ol’ 170->85 trick and slowly build up the tempo and energy from fun to dangerous and then ease back into the slower, sexier, midtempo zone to let people breathe. I got mixed reviews on whether or not I went too hard, but everyone seemed to be having fun.   I can’t thank everyone involved enough for giving me the chance to play a set like this. After the lodge last year I was itching for a Summer project set to really put some work into and I’m very proud of how this one turned out. Soooooo much fun, see you all next year!

Solo (Produced by Trashpanda)

Found my happy place at 1300m on the side of Babadağ - a magnificent mountain rising out of the Mediterranean in Turkey. 'Apukuna' is a Quechua word for mountain spirits so sharing this dancefloor journey on the side of a mountain was exactly where I wanted to be. This evening set included live percussion and vocals and a whole lot of dancefloor fun. Big love to the community that came together at Beyond Music & Arts Festival.

Legend of Delyo (Излял е Дельо Хайдутин)

"The Siren’s Love Song" is a mesmerizing ballad about an ancient legend. It tells the tale of a siren who has fallen in love with a mortal. Every night, she sings on the shore where the mystical Strandzha Mountain meets the sea, her voice weaving magic into the waves and into the forest, longing for the one she can never truly have. Her song is filled with love, hope, and the bittersweet ache of an impossible romance, echoing through the moonlit waters and whispering among the ancient trees... or so those who have heard her song say.

What Good Is Love Duet Remix Feat. Schyler Fisk

Sun Diamonds is a song with familiar themes of renewal and rebirth with a slight twist: considering time and phases of life as mathematical iterations. The older we get the more we think we know ourselves, but each challenge and celebration in life is an chance for us to learn about a different phase of who we are.
