Something new for your ears, a selection of house tunes that have become near and dear to me. Big shouts to Public Hearing, Gorg-O-Mish, Nectar, Village, Denizens, Valhalla, Paradise, Rise, Vantek and The Rabbit Hole for having me out to play this year. Drawing from those moments, this mix came to life...

’Perpetually Pippen’ is a tribute to the two crucial canines in my world, Pippen and Roxy. Those who know them, know how brilliant they both are. Celestial beings that know nothing but love.

Austin, Texas-based Boogietraxx hails from New York, USA

Releases on: True Romance | Midnight Riot | InStereo Recordings | theBasement Discos | NDYD Records | Spa in Disco | Super Spicy Records | Spincat Records | Blockhead Recordings | Slightly Transformed | Shame Records

As a rhythmic renovator of retro funk, Boogietraxx offers a lens into the discoverse that brought dance music to the masses but offers a uniquely soulful and modern twist. 

Born in Staten Island, NY and now living in Austin, TX for the last few years, Boogietraxx, is helmed by producer/DJ Brandon Keeks who’s also ½ of Hot Fun. And he brings an array of influences in his soundscapes that feature filter house, French touch, and filter funk. 

Brought up on a nutritious diet of Prince, Kashif, George Benson, Daft Punk, DJ Falcon, Romanthony, and countless others, Boogietraxx’s sound is rooted in the future with accentuated basslines and laser-guided melodies. 

Since moving to Austin, Brandon has teamed up with local wellness and entertainment collective, Conscious Raving, to curate dance parties with purpose, and inject a whole lot of suave disco boogie rhythm to each experience. He’s honed his skills all over the circuit at venues like Empire Control Room, Vulcan Gas Company, The Drafting Room, Indra’s Awarehouse, Voodoo Room, and more.

To date, Boogietraxx has released on Super Spicy Records, Hot Digits Music, Shame Records and more. Not only do his tracks offer something fresh out of the funk box, but his sets offer a joyful journey, oscillating anywhere from soulful vocal-driven sonatas to jackin’ house stompers. There really is no limit for what discosphere Boogietraxx will ascend to, so be sure to reserve some life to get lost in the bonafide beats of Boogietraxx!

Indolent sounds. Thick vibrations. Sweet melodies. Sticky connections. A naturally flavored substance... prepared by such a group.

PurpleTeeth is known to bring the good vibes - whether it's that classic house style or that high energy fast paced house groove. Love of the music keeps PurpleTeeth in a constant state of evolution, with no two sets ever being the same. Notable gigs include: Paradise Music Festival, Mayo Beach Party, Chasing Sunsets festival, Halloween Shindigs, Disco Fundraisers, or the basement at the Afters. Although, comfortable playing at peak hours PurpleTeeth shines brightest deep into the night - always able to  pull the dance floor back from the brinks with his smooth style.

mochilero is first and foremost a passionate and dedicated dancer, who with each set, aims to share melodies & rhythms for liberatory movement & collective joy. Inspired by the mystery, interconnectedness, and diversity of the natural world, mochilero weaves together melodic, uplifting and soulful grooves to evoke a feeling of oneness on the dance floor. He plays tasteful melodic, deep, progressive, minimal, and downtempo house with rays of breaks, acid, tech, & disco to create emotive, hypnotic, and dynamic sonic journeys.

The events foster an experience of collective joy, while focusing on centring marginalized communities and uplifting organizations that work toward social and environmental justice. His events are intended for dance lovers of any and every background, and are inspired by Fusion, Burning Man, Boom, and the open air culture in Köln, Germany, that led him to fall deep in love with the rich tradition of house music.
