This mix unfolds like a narrative rather than a DJ exercise. It opens in playful glitch and vapor haze, then locks into a house and electro foundation that steadies the floor. Instead of staying linear, it jolts into ghetto house chaos at 150 BPM, a move that feels more like a dare than a transition, before collapsing into hip hop edits that turn the room communal. From there the set stretches into its spine: a hypnotic techno core that tunnels forward with Amaliah and Pluralist, dense and absorbing, then mutates into Latin and queer club energy with Bitter Babe and LSDXOXO.

The climax comes in two movements: Nikki Nair’s halftime mischief snaps the grid apart, then Pangaea’s percussive storm launches the floor into peak hour frenzy. Just as the dancers lose themselves, Nmesh fractures reality with glitch collage, and the mix closes with a self authored outro at 101 BPM. It feels cinematic, like stepping out of a warehouse into daylight while the walls are still shaking.

What defines the set is contrast. Controlled hypnotic stretches are repeatedly punctured by disruptive turns: glitch, hip hop, halftime. It is a refusal to settle, a declaration that a dancefloor can be destabilized and still held together. The final impression is of a DJ who values tension over comfort, surprise over predictability, and a signature finish over anonymity.

Fall 2025 Mix

Many years ago, a magical pink mist descended upon the majestic village of Portland, and from those swirling paisley tendrils emerged the sounds of rolling basslines...hypnotic rhythms...catchy lyrics… The sounds grew louder, revealing an array of house music, seamlessly flowing from tech, to bass, to deep, electro, tribal, and techno. Soon the sounds became familiar to the citizens - surprised to recognize hints of old favorites - and they smiled as they danced and sweat through the mist.
As the energy from the  music and dancing and vibing peaked, a stoic fixture arose through the fog: a pink unicorn! A very rare, powerful and magical creature, with a singular, solemn, sacred duty: To deliver new and exciting epic musical experiences. Experiences that connect the dance floor and have everyone dripping in sweat. This Unicorn has shared his musical powers in locations all over the West Coast, Canada, and Mexico. Spreading the gospel of excitement, connection, and sweat by producing events through Bootycorp - events like Tectonic SHIFT Festival, and the Crystal Groove Art car at Burning Man - and will continue to bestow his musical gifts upon those in his favor, all over the world, for he is…….
