DayFunk : Minneapolis Monthly Day Party

House Party 😉

New World

Rasor Road

DayFunk resident Nick Gunz takes over the opening duties for the February party. 

It's not about us...it's about "us". We're a community, a gathering of people who share a love for house music. Wether we were there from the beginning, or we just came in - we're all riding the waves of house. We've experienced the highs and lows, danced until dawn, and feel the pulse of the sound that helped define us.
Many of the legends who started it all are still out there, working their magic. They inspire us, and we pay tribute to them every month with events that go beyond just a party. It's a chance to connect, to enjoy the music that has shaped our lives, and to support the talented local artists who share our passion.
We want to invite you to be a part of our journey, to feel the moment, and experience the unity that house music brings. It's all happening right now, and we would love to have you join us.

What an honour to share my love for ecstatic dance on behalf of Untamed: An Ecstatic Experience Philippines at Being Gathering on the sacred lands of Boomland ~ a truly incredible gift. 

Here in the heart of Boomland, we feel free to be, to explore, and to express. This set was dedicated to untaming, peeling back the layers, and casting aside any masks to reveal the truest essence of who we truly are. 

The energy of the set is uplifting, playful, joyful and energising, which matched the energy on the dance floor ~ vibrating with the love and unity of every soul present. 

Thank you to everyone who danced with us ~ your presence turned the previous night's heavy rain into a memory, replaced by the blessings of sunny and clear skies. 

Thank you Being tribe. May this set serve as a celebration to untame, to find freedom in every movement & every breath, and to embrace our raw, authentic selves.

*A note from eks:
Growing up it seemed like all of my favorite mix tapes had Mazi tracks, so making an entire mixtape of them made perfect sense.
 
I've always loved how versatile Mazi is as a producer, so my main goal for this mix was to showcase the breadth of his work under various pseudonyms. Indeed, Mazi has a track for any mood.  If you want something low and slow with amazing vocals "Do You Want Me" is one of the best. Need  a 134 bpm all-major-chord banger happier than bunnies cumming sunshine? Check out "Refill?".   How about a minimal tech track that is psychedelic and groove-heavy? Easy!  Mazi is producing loads of them under the name Audio Soul Project.  
 
Not to mention that under the pseudonym Studio Nova, he was a pioneer of the filtered sound that defined Disco House in the late 90s. "The Reason We Took It Underground" is still one of the best records I've ever heard to this day.  After 25 years not only does it still sound fresh, even the social messaging is still relevant. It's confirmation that we were absolutely on the right track back then.  Something still worthy of our time now.  And that makes it all the more special.

It's All Happening Right Now is an ode to the classic DJ mix tapes of the 1990's. 30 minutes each side, rather than the now standard hour or more mix session. The DJ needed to communicate a cohesive, yet short set that was designed to grab the listeners attention. A mix of house music classics, burners and bootlegs.

Nick's unique style of house music was instrumental in defining the sound of the Minneapolis club and underground house scene for over two decades. Nick started his career as a DJ in the late 90s, influenced by the Chicago hot mix style of dj'ing on B96 FM. In the early 2000s he spearheaded the Black club series at the First Avenue VIP Room, hosting exclusive events that brought world class house music to the Twin Cities.

Nick's signature sound draws from a wide range of influences, including French house, Chicago house, New York vocal house anthems and bootlegs. He has often been praised for his ability to blend nostalgic classics with contemporary bangers.
