Glasses' Graduation Party - CTRLZ B2B Fantastic Mr. Ox

In the depths of our most anxious, uncomfortable, sad, lonely, angry, overwhelmed and melancholic moments, remember that at the core of our being (yes you) lies an infinite reservoir of love. Let this mix be a gentle reminder that beneath all sadness, your true nature is boundless love, always present and ever-flowing.

What is in the way, is the way. Opening to and experiencing whatever arises (with an ass-load of self compassion) you transform all of "your problems" into stepping stones that lead you home, to your true happy and harmless nature.

Raleigh, this mix is for you. We've laughed till our stomachs hurt, cried over who knows what, and navigated life's sometimes clear and sometimes muddy rivers together. You've taught me so much about being me just by being you (literally you've altered by journey and helped me grow in bravery, self-compassion, ability to be vulnerable, ability to love, ability to be goofy and unique, in understanding, and in countless sublte ways you have helped me grow into the person I am (endlessly) becoming.. I'm grateful for every moment and memory I have had with you. Here's to all the fish we've caught, real and metaphorical. Happy 30th! Love you.

As Buddhist monk Sayadaw U Tejaniya reminds us:

“We tend to pay a lot of attention to the person we are speaking to, instead of to ourselves while we are speaking. If you put too much attention on the other person, then there is not enough attention left for yourself. We need to build this skill of how to speak while knowing that we are speaking, and how we are speaking.”

... and what an exodus it was for us pretty little princesses in the whiteout.

Equinox - Autumn 2024 mix

Igniting Denver/Boulder KGNU community radio airwaves and curating dance floors at Burning Man, Eldora, Crested Butte, Planet Bluegrass and your friend’s wedding, CTRLZ’s sets are a gateway to pure sonic freedom. 

Let yourself relax and feel the omnipresent love and benevolence that surrounds you. It is your birthright to be happy, harmless, and free. Let the music lead you home. 

I invite you to embrace whatever may arise and hold it in the light of loving awareness, without judgment, or attachment to outcome - may rhythm and dance continue to awaken joy and peace in us all.
