assorted and unheard

After 25 years behind the decks, I've learned that every DJ has a unique path.

I'm DJ Deckard, I’m launching 'A DJ's Journey' - a podcast that explores the stories behind the music with the DJs who shaped our scene.

My first guest is pioneer DJ Dan, taking us from the early West Coast rave scene up to today's electronic landscape.

Welcome to A DJ's Journey - where every beat tells a story.

Producer Gavin Hardkiss delivers a DJ mixtape of 16 songs  written and produced for the Inheritance project.

Inheritance tracks life growing up in South Africa through the '90s Hardkiss San Francisco era to his current multi-genre tastes. The project is a Basquiat-like collage of sounds inherited along the way. Voices heard as a boy through the second floor bedroom window in Johannesburg. Sounds accumulated in dusty warehouses throughout America in the '90s. Collaborations with Nigerian performer Bisi, Kenyan singer Lucinda Karrey, snippets of conversation from Johannesburg and Oakland, alongside Instagram audio grabs. All of it glued and twisted together over a 5 year period in his studio in San Rafael California.


Inheritance will be released as a DJ mixtape on Soundcloud and Youtube.  All the individual songs are available for streaming and purchasing at your favorite digital destination.

Gavin Hardkiss has long been a DJs who skirts genres and always surprises with his hybrid styles and rich textures that fuse modern and classic electronic music influences. Whether you’re into Amapiano, Afrohouse, minimal tech, highlife or breaks, there’s something here for you.

Inheritance Mixtape by Gavin Hardkiss

For the past two years, I’ve curated playlists of my favorite UK Garage and related genres, discovering fresh sounds that inspired me to create Nova. I wanted a seamless mix of these tracks to enjoy without skipping around throughout Spotify, and I believe mixed music has a unique power to captivate.
 
Nova took a year to complete and is the most work I’ve ever put into a mix. Many tracks lacked DJ-friendly intros and outros, but recent AI advancements allowed me to break them into stems, remix, and edit them for the intentional transitions featured in this mix.

Thank you for listening.

Stereo Damage Podcast - Episode 205 (swing kidd)

On an incredible river spot deep in the heart of Northern California we gathered amongst friends new and old to shake off any negative energy that had been collecting in our lives, while calling in only positive beams of light, warmth and love. The sun was warming up our world and the light was glistening off of the river water as we journeyed on our quest for the day. I had such a blast playing with everyone and felt so in flow with all these delicious tunes I have been gathering over the past few months. 

If you enjoyed this selection, please share amongst friends and support the artists that I included in this mix.  – Vitamindevo

Ben Annand Live at Moontribe 25-Year Anniversary June 28, 2018

Welcome to the official Soundcloud home for Tropical Since 98, Socal's beloved underground house music event which has donated over $30,000 to charity causes since 1998!  This Soundcloud is dedicated to live sets from the 80+ Tropical parties since it's inception.  

Tropical is the creation of Ben Annand, who continues to organize the event to this day.  The link for Ben's personal Soundcloud is here, be sure and visit that too ;)

http://soundcloud.com/ben-annand 

Tropical started in a warehouse on October 9, 1998, and moved around to different warehouses until making one home in 2003, known as the Tree House.  In 2004 and 2005 Tropical was almost monthly between the Tree House, and newly started boat parties out of Long Beach.  In June and September 2007 were the first 2 Tropical campouts, in Bonsall, CA at the venue now known as the Fire Garden.  In 2008 and 2009 Tropical went to Zuma State Beach in Malibu for summertime Tropical Beach Parties.  

Though occasionally still in a warehouse, since 2011 Tropical has been primarily outdoors, with the main events being the summer boat party and fall/winter Tropical Oasis Retreat, most recently seen on Kauai (Hawaii).  Tropical is 100% nonprofit, donating all proceeds after cost to charity.
