An extended version of my set for Book Club Radio. The set is inspired by and dedicated to my son, who through his own life inspired me to get out and live mine.

Live Your Life

A liquid drum & bass journey from the idyllic to the oppressive, emerging victorious on the other side.

There and Back Again

If you only liked the first half of my Book Club "A Disco Descent into Darkness", then this is for you. It's just the first half!

A Disco Descent into Darkness - but just the disco

Mind the bumps. This kicks off with my originally planned opening for the Book Club Radio 1yr anniversary set.

Forgot to hit record on the decks for this one, so I had to pull the audio from the stream. Apologies for the lower quality audio.

Dark Varist Rises - A Neurofunk Drum & Bass diversion

TGIVarist - May 3, 2024 - Live House Mix

This set is poiiiii-son.

It'll make sense 52 minutes in.

TGIVarist - May 9, 2024 - Live House Mix

This is a disco house set I put together for a Safe Room event in Brooklyn, but then also posted as a pre-recorded TGIVarist set.

TGIVarist - May 31, 2024 - A Wrinkle In Time

You'll know it when you hear it. 😁 All sorts of house today. Definitely not approved by the HOA.

TGIVarist - July 12, 2024 - Don't Go Wasting Your Emotion

Who in their right mind would start a set with The Jets? Me. Me's who. I never claimed to be in my right mind. Lots of good tracks in the set this week. Hope you enjoy!

TGIVarist - September 27, 2024 - Jet Stream

After hosting the first and probably only Varist AMA FAQ Questions Thingy (official title), I jumped on the decks for a few hours just improvising my way through an eclectic selection of mostly chill/ambient tracks, allowing myself to experiment along the way.

AMA Afters

Why "Under Construction"? Because my DJ den is full of boxes from other rooms while some rearranging is under way. But of course, that doesn't make any sense at all when it's just the audio here on Soundcloud. I should think ahead next time.

TGIVarist - November 15, 2024 - Under Construction

Sure, you could go for a run to work off your Thanksgiving meals (if you're in the US) or you could just dance it off. To support your efforts, I did a 3 hour livestream the following day.

TGIVarist - November 29, 2024 - Turkey Trot

Still coming down from my set at Elsewhere on December 6th. This set represents the first hour of that set. I plan to re-record the full 2.5 hour set, but this is ready now, so... 

TGIVarist - December 13, 2024 - Somewhere

I feel like I should explain the title here. For the duration of the set, I was wearing a shirt with a Santa Yoda that stated "An elf I am not". I think we all agree that was worth the two sentences required.

Does anybody read these descriptions?

TGIVarist - December 20, 2024 - Not An Elf

A Varist Funky New Year 2025

TGIVarist - January 17, 2025 - Broken Promises

Wherein Varist tries mixing a genre he really has no familiarity with and, well, yeah.

TGIVarist - January 24, 2025 - Ill Advised

Just your normal, everyday house. Not future, not hard, not tech. Just house.

TGIVarist - January 31, 2025 - Bob The Builder

This set... It's actually kinda good? Yes, I am sometimes surprised by that.

TGIVarist - February 7, 2025 - Tubular

TGIVarist - February 21, 2025 - A State of Varist

What is this? A normal TGIVarist? Less than 2 hours long? And house music? Yes, we've returned to familiar waters to close out February. That was an unintentional aquarian joke.

TGIVarist - February 28, 2025 - There's no place like House

I don't know about you, but I needed a house pick-me-up this week!

TGIVarist - March 14, 2025 - Rush Hour

It's the first TGIVarist set from our new Wednesday 8PM US Eastern time slot!

TGIVarist - April 2, 2025 - When's day?

I joined the PAN!C ROOM crew for a set at the Olive Tree Deli in NYC where I put aside my usual house selections for an evening.

TGIVarist - April 9, 2025 - Spinnin' Out

Today's original set was scrapped when I was 3/4 of the way through it and realized none of it felt good. This seems to happen a lot these days where I find myself questioning the set and throwing it all out. Let's see if trusting my ample gut was right!

TGIVarist - April 16, 2025 - Pit Crew

This set doesn't have a theme, but I'd like to dedicate this session to all the people in the world who lift up the people in their lives that need it most. This is how we survive the hard times.
