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.

Reggae Bloodlines KGNU - June 22, 2024

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.

2-Hour Chill LoFi Hip Hop Mix - Relaxation & Introspection

DJ Ginger Smalls and I had an incredible time mixing out of the woodward boombox at eldora ski resort. about 30 minutes into our b2b set, the clouds parted, and the sun began to shine through the falling snow (cue summer sun by chris luno). as we were playing our last track (the nick morgan remix of don't stop the music by agoria, noemie, and rami khalifé), the music abruptly stopped as the power went out—for the entire resort and the neighboring town of nederland—for almost two hours. this marked the end of our recording, but when the power came back on, we fired back up for two more hours of après b2b mixing!

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.
