Set from my friend Lance's first Pool Party of the Spring of 2021.  This was an epic raging pool party.  Everyone really cut loose after finally feeling comfortable throwing down and dancing under the sun at the pool and in the water after all the lockdowns!  First time I've played a full on four on the floor set in al long time.  Lot's of Old School Classic Bangers in there!  Super Epic fun!  Hope you can feel the energy and good vibes as much as we were that day.  Full on for you to get down to!  Happy Dancing!

Here is part one of The Drop's Silent Disco Birthday Bash at Crissy Field in San Francisco on Saturday May 22nd 2021.   It was a beautiful day of dancing by the Golden Gate Bridge and the Beach and Ocean.  The power went off a couple times and dropped the recording, so the recording got split up into 3 parts.  Part one is a short 30 min and the second two are longer.  Make sure you check out all 3 parts for the full listening experience. In-JOY!

Here is the set from the Halloween party in Nevada City honoring the ancestors.  I was really channeling our ancestors and artists that had passed through the veil.  Felt the presence of many of my dear friends and artists that have passed on the stage with me this night and they came through the music as well.  Hope you feel it too!

My Set from Ecstatic Dance Sebastopol in November of 2021.  It was the first dance that they held since the pandemic, so it's the first time they gathered to dance this way for almost 2 years!  The energy was on FIRE!  The dancers were really feeling it and I was really feeling the they were feeding me with the best energy and it WENT OFF BIG TIME!  You can feel it in the music and I think the energy was embedded in the mix.  Hope you can feel it too!

This is my set from Ecstatic Dance on it's return to the legendary Sweets Ballroom where it all began!   This was one the best feeling sets I have played in a long time!  The energy in the room was incredible and filled the space from wall to wall, the dance floor was so activated and I felt so connected to everyone in the room.  A true ecstatic dance family reunion and homecoming!  I played a lot of my 'hits' for this special dance reunion!  It's hard to capture the incredible energy that was in the room that day, but here is the recording from that epic morning for your listening pleasure.  In-JOY!

Ecstatic Dance NC 12 - 2-14 Pt 1 (edit) - 1:30:15, 5.59 PM

Here is my set from Ecstatic Dance Nevada City in November of 2023.  Although it's winter I'm still playing off some of the fall vibes with the "Autumn Leafs" intro outro. (one of my all time favs).  This set goes on quite a journey through styles and tempos and the crowd was on fire when I played it.  I have been on a slightly ratchet tip lately so it does show up in the set here and there, but I feel there is a good balance of dancehall, world, bass, medicine house and afro, amapiano influences sprinkled about.  Hopefully can pick up on some of the vibe that was going on during the dance.
In~JOY!!!

My Ecstatic Dance set 2 weeks before my mothers passing.  It was a dedication and prayer to my mother.  It is charged with the emotions and passions surrounding this time.  There are  some very special moments and songs that are very close to our relationship as well as just some magical moments that were just created in the moment.  It was a very powerful set I hope you can feel it listening to it.  Long live my dear blessed mother Holland Louise Huss Merrick.  Peace and love on her journey onward.  May a part of her continue to live on in this mix....I love you Mom....IN JOY!!!
