Played live on Sunday morning, July 6th, 2025 at the Asheville Movement Collective. This was my first Facilitation and live mix after having stepped away from AMC for almost two years. Leaving wasn't easy, and it really touched my heart to see familiar faces again in this beautiful dance container. 

I've grow in many ways as a person, and as a performing artist and deejay over the time away. This set represents my appreciation for the juxtapositions of simple elements in music to more complex, arranged in an undulating wave structure.
