Luke Mandala At Moontribe April 2022

This is one of those sets that built up inside me, patiently awaiting its perfect moment. I found a few of these tracks some years ago and was struck by their unique flavor. Slowly but surely I built up my collection of what I would call the "indie-dance / nu-disco" sound. There is plenty of music under the blanket of those genres but much less of it out there that speaks to my personal tastes. I kept my ears open and picked them up one by one. This isn't a style that I will play often, but damn did it feel right on this beautiful sunrise morning in the desert. Smiling faces and dancing bodies radiated love and light, the speaker stacks roared and my heart was full. I hope you enjoy this set at full volume and dance yourself unabashedly into your happy place :)

Ott and Drumspyder also played this show at Nector... a cozy spot in Seattle. I played the opening slot and played music to fit that situation. Much love to everyone listening to this! Thanks for sharing it around.

Live at Moontribe FMG - November 2022 - Indie Dance & Nu-Disco

Ten years ago my life was changed when I attended my first FMG. Since then, Moontribe has been by large my greatest inspiration musically and it was a dream come true to get to contribute back to my favorite dance floor. The experience was everything I had hoped for and so much more.

Live @ Moontribe Oct 2023 FMG

Aechmea was a lit festival! Enjoy ah hour of deeper neuro dnb and some more drummy tunes into a halftime close. So fortunate to be invited out by my dear friends to play this set on beautiful rolling hills overlooking the expansive desert. 

Tracklist coming soon!
