STiRTy hosted its [in]famous annual Scorpi-OH birthday party for the Scorpio zodiac DJs in California and I got to play a fun set for a packed dancefloor and I hope you enjoy it!

Alcazar Live @ Scorpi-OH - Nov 2021

A lovely assortment of friends got together in Panama and took over a nightclub in Panama City for its opening night after the pandemic.  We brought some techno flavor to the local scene and had a really excellent time!

Bonus live guitar by G-Force!

Alcazar Live @ Teatro Amador, Panama City - May 2022

Here is some fun in the San Francisco sun to celebrate our friends big birthdays and the beautiful spring weather.  Enjoy!

Alcazar Re-Lived @ F*%# Fifty

This is a recording from a campout recently held in the forest in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California on a warm summer night in July 2023.  We played such great music for all the bears and deer and distant campgrounds and it was so much fun I just had to share my contribution with you all!

Alcazar Live @ Tunnel Mills Campout 2023

I hope you enjoy my set recently performed while traveling abroad in Colombia!  This set was from a club in Medellin called Heard From on Friday night Feb 9th, 2024.  The room was known for its minimal house sounds so I brought a fresh bit of breaks and techno to the set to many smiles and shakin booties!  Enjoy!

Alcazar Live @ Burning Medellín - Feb 2024

Enjoy this re-recording of the recent set I performed in San Francisco at Temple!  This was one of the most energy-packed crowds jumpin with hands in the air the whole set so the music is consequently also bangin!

Alcazar Re-Lived @ Temple SF - Feb 2024

The GetDown and I got to do a back to back DJ performance 1:1 at the amazing Joshua Tree Music Festival this past May 2024 in front of a massive audience and on an incredible sound system.  It was one of our longest sets ever at over 4 hours and we managed to record this!  We hope you enjoy this as much as we enjoyed playing it!  <3

Alcazar & The GetDown @ JTMF - May 2024

Seems like this set disappeared off my SoundCloud so I'm re-uploading it by request ;) Enjoy this blast from the past!  

This set featured a different genre than I usually play, but *at the time* it was a brand new sound that really fascinated me.  It was an introduction of Future House to this audience and the crowd was absolutely crazy by the end, literally dancing on the tables.

Alcazar Live @ Scorpi-OH - Nov 2017

A very dear friend threw a private party for her milestone birthday and I had the honor of performing and sharing the music I played with you all.  Please enjoy!

Alcazar Live Impromptu Sunday Session - May 2016

This is a recording of the live performance I did for STiRTy Things in San Francisco in April 2017.  By popular demand, I played breaks for this set :)  Enjoy!

Alcazar (Breaks) Live @ STiRTy Things

This is a live recording of my after hours set for Mixology After Hours with the 2nd hour performed by my friend FooF, at the EndUp in San Francisco on November 19th 2017.  During the first hour you'll year that I pulled tracks from three of my favorite genres to make the booties shake.   FooF's second hour is full of his signature Chicago and SF house fusion sound.

Enjoy!

Alcazar Live w/FooF @ EndUp San Francisco - Nov 2017

Because Why?

A bunch of us San Francisco DJs ascended upon a private setting in the woods and got lost in the music for a weekend.  Hope you enjoy the vibe of my latest breaks groove.

We all had a great Snowfest celebration this year, and I got to drop some new beats on the dancefloor.  Hope you enjoy this!

Alcazar Live @ Snowfest Brickelltown Getdown - March 2019

The Brickelltown Getdown has quickly become incredibly awesome, and I was honored to play to a dancefloor packed with such fun people.  The energy was intense, the room was bouncing, and I hope you enjoy it too.

Sunday Sanctuary - May 31, 2020

I recently got the rare (thx to Covid) opportunity to play a live 2am Halloween set in the woods in the Sierra Mountains for a bunch of socially distanced dance freaks!   It was great.  The sound system was off the hook, and the people were getting their freak on!

Alcazar Re-Lived @ Black Skull Carnival - Halloween 2020

This recording is a special selection of downtempo soothing and melodic music I've been saving up to play on such an occasion as this.  The week has been difficult out there in the world, and I could use some beautiful music, and I bet you could too.  Let's sit back, relax, and enjoy these fine tunes to let you settle into 2021 and put 2020 firmly behind.

Saturday Soothe - January 9, 2021

Born from the fires of Burning Man in the year 2000, Alcazar began as a DJ and art car captain aboard the Rocketship mutant vehicle.  Alcazar is now known to play music that is dark, dirty, booty shakin, and cerebral.

Now a part of the STiRTy DJ collective in San Francisco, Alcazar has been a staple in the recent STiRTy parties and has gained tremendous support from the local community, being invited to perform at festivals, parties, clubs, and of course Burning Man camps.  Alcazar pulls from many genres in his performances, such as Techno, House, Tech-House, Deep House, Future House, and Breaks.
