As WALA, I’ve had the profound honor and opportunity to travel the globe studying frequencies, cultures, and dance floors, and incorporating that influence into my music, resulting in a style that blends sounds like spices into a sexy, worldly sonic experience which I affectionately refer to as ‘Gypsy Crunk'. I aspire to take listeners on an acoustic journey and introduce them to new sounds, sometimes music I’ve created myself, other times not; it’s like a pursuit of an alchemy of frequency.

I heard about Burning Man in the 90's but didn't make it to the playa until 2005. Ever since my first burn, from the moment I arrived on playa for the first time, we listened to BMIR in the car in the ride I had found on craigslist (after I last-minute bought a ticket at a store on Haight St in San Francisco for around $200 3 days before the event). I had no idea what I was getting myself into I had a 2 person tent with a hole in it and no shade, but I did have a battery powered radio! BMIR has always played a central role in framing my window to the weird, bizarre, and hilariously whacky world of burning man, and will always hold a place in my heart, and has inspired so much of my own music over the years.

I met up with the BMIR crew in 2012 and have had my own show since 2013. Rather than exclusively play only music I’ve produced, instead I prefer to follow in the footsteps of my BMIR predecessors and play music, sounds, producers, and genres listeners may not have heard before along a musical journey.

And with all of that in mind, I made the following playlist of tunes I've dug around for or encountered in various ways, including many friends whose work inspires my own but whom listeners may not have heard. This is ‘feel good music’ to me, at a time when I feel like we could all use a little more ‘cozy’ in our lives, this playlist gives me all the good feels. Please enjoy with tea, and a pinch of playa if possible.

Dynamic, colorful, imaginative… 

“The World That You Know” is a beautiful and bizarre exploration through the depths of a kaleidoscopic rabbit hole consisting of grooving rhythms, humanoid melodies and creamy bass synthesis. Wandering through lush and outlandish atmospheres, one is asked to suspend their (dis)belief and question where they are. 

Forged with careful precision and dedication over the last three years, Duffrey’s first full length album is a flowing storybook of thoughts, grooves and spaces that altogether become an homage to the explorative spirit of music. As each piece unfolds, lively organic instrumentation seamlessly fuses with meltingly weird and wonky sound design to create a musical experience that is at once unique and accessible, intelligent and playful, deep and cheeky, funky and real.
