I’m still trying to process what happened that Sunday. The 2024 Lightning in a Bottle Festival will forever hold a special place in my heart. I was incredibly lucky to play before the top-tier name in the game, @rufusdusol. Thank you to everyone who was there and danced with us – it was next level. A special thank you to @patricio_la for making it happen. It was mind-blowing.

The Do Lab and The Midway brought talented Monolink to Golden Gate Park in SF, and I couldn’t be more excited share with you my own opening set! 🎶🌅

Had an incredible time providing direct support for the amazing Korolova at Academy LA! 🌌✨ The energy was unreal, and it was an honor to set the vibe before her set. Huge thanks to everyone who came out and danced with us — what a night to remember! 🎶🔥

I’ve been a fan of Paul Kalkbrenner’s music for as long as I can remember. His sound has always stood out to me — there’s just something different about it, something timeless. A few years ago, a dream of mine came true when we booked him at The Midway in San Francisco. Meeting him and seeing his magic live only deepened my admiration, and since then, I’ve been a loyal fan.

When it came time to release my very first track, I knew I wanted to dedicate it to someone who had truly inspired me. Sky and Sand has been one of my top three favorite tracks forever — it’s a piece of music that never loses its meaning no matter how many times I hear it.

So, here it is: my own version of a track, inspired by that spirit. I crafted it with those magical sunset and sunrise moments in mind — the times when the music feels infinite.

Hope you enjoy it.

Opened up for the one and only Argy at Grand Park earlier this year, and it was a whole vibe 🌇💫
This set was made with intention — tuned to the sunset mood and the location’s magic- to warm things up for Lauren Mia and Argy.
Kept it deep, groovy, and full of feeling — just letting it flow with the moment.
It was a special moment, and I’m grateful to share it with you now.
Hope you enjoy the ride 🌇🎶

Still buzzing from the magic of Lighting In a Bottle Festival✨
So many unforgettable moments, but nothing topped sharing my set at the legendary Woogie stage with all of you. The energy, the smiles, the dust, champagne and daytime vibes — it was all perfect.
Grateful for every laugh, every dance, and every moment with my closest friends. Thank you for being part of this chapter 🫶
Until next time, LIB 💛
