February Is For Lovers

This mix was inspired through beginners mind, that childlike wonder present in not knowing, yet following instincts and guidance from within. Rather than holding tight to what I wanted or thought was "supposed to be", I went with what felt fun, felt right, felt harmonic, and paid attention to those whom I admire, adore, and aspire to inspire. 

You have the knowledge, wisdom, skills, and fortunes present to bring your dreams into reality.  Though to be in the flow, we've got to let go of our tight grasps, and submit to acceptance, guidance, humility. 

Tracklist coming soon.

Dark Moon May 2022

Love Long Beach Festival - Live (July 2022 - Noise Stage Saturday)

A blissful dance shared among friends, with a memorable view. Happy Anniversary Firetribe, sharing 11 years of Fire, Fun, and Flow with friends near and far.

Live @ Sunrise - FireTribe 11 Year Anniversary

It was so much fun dancing and sharing this set with Sandlands DnB Festival. Played at 3am in the Southern California desert, this set came together as an intense but dancefloor friendly journey through the realms of neuro, deep, tech dnb, with some flavors of halftime and rollers/liquid in there too. Starts out with a deep dive into the noisy realms, and resolved into a splash of dream-like bliss. I'm still dancing to this one...

I'll post a trackless here soon:

Live @ Sandlands Desolate Jan 2023

It's been a while since I've put together a neuro dnb / halftime set, and this dancefloor was a perfect place for it. Wild energy for 2-4am in the desert, with the full moon glowing overhead. Thanks to all the amazing artists who keep making huge tunes, and love to everyone that was there for Righteous Moon; good times shared and great memories made.

Badlama - Live @ Righteous Moon Twilight Eclipse 2023

My evening dnb set on the Moon Stage on eclipse day was stompin' high-energy fun! I re-recorded and extended it slightly to include some favorites from Moontribe's August Full Moon Gathering.

dela Moontribe - Oregon Eclipse on the Moon (extended)

Here is my set at Moontribe this last New Years Eve, a party out in the open desert with impressive sound and a dance floor lit by nothing other than the full moon.  Among the legendary roster of OG Moontribe DJ's my label residents at Noise Revolt had the privilege to join these incredible friends to help orchestrate the ringing in of the new year.

Dela played at midnight, this is me following up at 1am just before Britton.  I was lucky enough to be able to turn the page with my set from DNB into techno, two genre's I have polar versions of love for.

ENJOY! & happy New Year!

Chief Jesta @ Moontribe NYE(2018)

March full moons are always a little wild, but this dance floor was packed with vibrant spring energy!

dela Moontribe - live @ March FMG 2018

I closed out Moontribe's 25-year Anniversary Full Moon Gathering with fun, high-energy dnb that melted into chugging, ecstatic techno

dela Moontribe - live @ Moontribe's 25-Year Anniversary FMG

This was one of the most exciting weeks to prepare for!  Some of the founding fathers of the west coast underground celebrating a quarter of a century.  For 25 years this family has kept the same intentions and integrity from the beginning, allowing this legacy to still hold its sacred values.
For a donation of 10 bucks, you can find yourselves in the infinite abyss of the desert canvas for your soul to roam free and paint your release of essence under the full moon lit sky.
