This set was one I thought of while listening to different songs in my playlists while on the bus out and about in San Francisco last weekend. It was also the music I intended on playing for my first after hours gig in Chinatown, a lot of which I didn't play in this order because the crowd was feeling more of a tech house vibe. some of these songs are my absolute favorite that I've been listening too for years and I love how this mix turned out. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do :)

This mix and my renewed interest in Techno is a product of the 4.5 months I spent in Europe last year. Exploring different genres has always been one of my favorite parts of becoming a DJ and Techno has always been something that has caught my attention.

I decided to name this mix series "Taken Aback". The phrase is something that I felt at multiple incidences throughout my travels in Europe at different clubs playing Peak-Time Techno and is a phrase that I believe describes the awe inspiring nature of the genre.

I had a blast recording this mix, and I hope you enjoy it

What a great night this was! I was very stoked to be given the pleasure to open Halcyon on a brisk July evening for a night with Thomas Machina and Marbs for the best in Desert Hearts vibes.

Halcyon Debut | July 8, 2023

This one was truly special. I was given the honor of having the final scheduled set of this years edition of Starvibes Campout. over the course of two hours I told my life story through music on the Golden Galaxy stage in the beautiful Blue Mountain valley of the Sierra Nevada's. 

The music played throughout this set is the soundtrack to my life. A lot of these tracks are perpetually playing in my head on a daily basis, and a lot of them have fundamentally changed me as a person. 

It would make me really happy for you to listen to this live recording. Thank you :)

Taking Back Soundcloud Week 5

Wow I definitely forgot about this set for a while. I think this might have been one of the most fun nights i've ever had, DJing with the Kimono's for my first time as direct support at Halcyon. 

I followed some of the minimal deep tech that Sagmo had been laying down and built upon that with some of my classic Taking Back Sundance sounds that I've just become completely obsessed with over the years. 

I played some of my favs, as well as some stuff for the first time. It was a wonderful night and I hope you enjoy this as much as I did recording it at the clerb
