Lushpod #79 - Life Goes On

A once in lifetime opportunity to share who I am through melodies and beats.  Every track represents who I am and my old school influences.  Music fills my inner core and the moment I step behind the decks, I am ready to soar.

This was my 1st time attending Joshua Tree Music Festival and it exceeded my expectations.  All the efforts come to fruition as displayed in the art, wellness, and musicality of this family-friendly desert adventure.  I fell in love with the organic warmth and intimacy that brought the Boogaloo Stage to life.  I was slotted a 2 hour set to close out Friday night and it was my time to express myself.

The amount of support from my Bay Area community and friends of decades past, was very humbling.  The moment I stepped up on that platform and saw the outdoor space filled with 360 degrees of revelers and smiles...I knew this was going to be a defining moment.

So much appreciation to Renee Young for believing in me and to Barnett English for his vision to embody that true independent music festival spirit and giving me the opportunity to shine. I did not know what I was capable of until I stepped onto that stage and felt the energy pulsing all around me.  

An epic moment that came together so perfectly where sounds were finely tuned and people were ready to receive.  Every track felt right and the nerves just melted away.  It magical and pure bliss.  This is dedicated to all my friends n' family who supported my love for music and to anyone who is ready to hear my story.

I sure hope you enjoy my second set from Camp Dayfunk 2025 as much as I enjoyed playing it!   If you do, please give it a like and consider re-posting it on Soundcloud - it just takes a second and is the most helpful way to share cool music to new people!

Camp Dayfunk is a Minneapolis-based campout in just its second year, taking place 2 hours East in the Wisconsin Woods - and I enjoyed its quality, intimacy, and cute little camp touches immensely.  Both this event and this set are very special to me <3

Before anything, let's talk about the Mix Cover.  I got great pictures from my first set and none from this 2nd, and it's fine.  Because I got something better than a picture - I got a Danceflooor Badge!  

It was one of the greatest honors of my DJ career to earn one of only 8 Dance Floor badges given out at this event  - not for my 4 hours of playing music where I dance some but maintain focus on the mixing - but for my many more hours of representation on the dancefloor as a dancer, which is where this all started for me... and honestly has stayed.  

I fricken love dancing and absolutely think it makes me a better DJ to study and appreciate music from both sides of the decks. I don't dance to everything and also want to give props where props are due - the music at this event was rock solid, and receiving the dance badge has as much to do with the quality of the other DJs playing as it does my dance stamina.  Fun fact, the most I ever danced was at @mingameslaby in Japan in 2007 ;)

Okay, about the music and vision for this set!  My first set at the event, the night before, was previously posted to the event's Soundcloud (@user-467880110) and I had a full dancefloor and lots of energy coming back at me - a Dj's dream.

This, my second set, Saturday 4-6pm, was a bit different.  It's daytime, there's a beach, and @djdanmusic, @Dj-Mes, and Mazi aka @audiosoulproject are playing B2B2B on that stage.  Right at the same time as my set at the Pavilion stage!  First thing that comes to my mind after I realize they are simultaneous - wtf am I going to do?

Contrast is the answer.  If people want it funky, they're gonna want to be down at the other stage.  I mean I wanted to be there too lol.  And who the heck wants the 2 stages to sound the same anyway, that's silly.  So I leaned into this contrast theme for my set.  Someone told me that I may have confused people a little lol.  I said 'good!'  

I'm really glad I had the opportunity to play the night before, because that was my more funky set - though my interpretation is a bit different from most.  I also won some hearts there, which created more interest than there would have been I think.

So anyway, this set was a challenge - a friendly challenge to myself to play a 2 hour set that was a bit out of the box without losing people, that would serve as a worthy contrast to that devastating funk of Dan, Mes and Mazi.  
 
I would guess overall people there probably liked my first set a tad more - but for me this one was hands-down the winner.  Partly because it was a full 2 hours of new music. Partly because my cup was already full since  I had nailed my set the night before and even got extended an extra hour -  the best hour.  And partly because I had experienced some challenge locking the XDJ the night before, but was effortlessly near flawless on Saturday. I felt zero pressure to do anything but be myself, and play what I felt at that time <3

In general, I favor very full tracks that envelope you with sound.  Besides contrast, the theme for this set is laid back and expansive.  There's funkiness, sure, there are some peaks and valleys energetically, but not at all like the night set.  Overall, it's a smooth ride through deep house with some vocals, minimal house and even a touch of techno, all  around 124bpm. 

Thanks for reading to the end!  I Hope you enjoy the music, and perhaps this background too!


Contrast - Ben Annand Live July 19, 2025 at Camp Dayfunk in the Wisconsin Woods

Last things first :) - Presenting the closing set from Trropical 27- Year Anniversary Hot Tub Oasis Retreat, recorded 10 PM to Midnight on Sunday night, closing all the music at our event <3

It was a very intense event with a huge downpour in the middle followed by a double rainbow, ao many beautiful moments and one tragic one.

But here we celebrate life and house music with old school Tropical resident DJ Dazy's digital comeback - first time ever to play a digital sat at Tropical, having pretty much exiting DJing with motherhood 20 years ago in 2005.

Dazy played the second -ever Tropical event, (rescheduled from December 1998 to May 1999) was the first female DJ to play at Tropical, instantly becoming resident DJ, playing almost all the Tropical warehouse parties and some boat parties too.

Tropical founder Ben Annand had been nagging Dazy for years to make the digital transition  - and it finally happened in 2025!

Chunky house beats, deep disco vibes and fun vocals characterize this set. - Hope you love it as much as we do!


Tropical 27YR-1 - DJ Dazy Closing Set Sunday 10pm-12am

Here's my live set recorded Oct 26 2025 at the Lass in Newcastle, Australia. My first time ever playing in this gorgeous seaside town and the energy was off the charts from start to finish. Hope you feel it too.

Live From The Lass - Newcastle, Australia - 26 Oct 2025 -  Part 1

LP #85 - Riders of Obsidian Dawn is forged in the molten crossroads where 1970s fantasy heavy metal meets modern synth. This album is a tribute to an era when msuic were gates to other realms, spells cast in smoke-filled basements, and every track was a journey through myth, magic, and shadow.

Blending  digital sorcery, Riders of Obsidian Dawn channels the raw imagination of classic fantasy art. Each song rides the fine line between past and future, honoring the legends who once wielded distortion and mythology as twin blades.

At its core, this album celebrates the timeless bond between fantasy and music. For generations, they’ve fed each other—fantasy inspiring the grandiosity of metal, and metal giving fantasy its soundtrack of rebellion, wonder, and cosmic scale. Riders of Obsidian Dawn continues that tradition, proving that even in a digital age, myth still breathes, heroes still awaken, and the dawn still rises.

[PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] proudly presents its 86th release — Mountain Altai VA: Oroktoysky Bridge. Dub Techno Star Collection, Vol. 4

Oroktoysky Bridge — a suspended thread above the roaring Katun, hanging on cables like strings stretched between sky and earth. It is often called the gateway to the heart of Altai. Here, above the thunderous waters, one feels suspended between two worlds — one where the river’s voice never fades, and another where time itself slows down. The sound of the river becomes a low, trembling hum you can feel in your chest. And beneath this bridge lies the deepest point of the Katun — more than seventy meters down into a hidden abyss. This is a place of power, where earth and water converge in tension, and a person stands literally between heaven and the depths.

Vol. 4 of Mountain Altai VA is dedicated to this bridge — a crossing, a symbol of courage, a point where shores, states, and dimensions meet. Nine tracks sound like legends heard in passing across this suspended path.

::: Ezra Collins (@ezracollins005) — “Night Becomes Sun”
Dawn over the bridge. Night slowly fades into light, and all the water below begins to shine. “Night Becomes Sun” captures that instant of awakening when sound becomes radiance.

Mountain Altai VA: Oroktoysky Bridge is the fourth chapter in our Altai story — where sound becomes space, and depth becomes time. This part of the grand collection, created in celebration of the third anniversary of [PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB], takes the listener further into Altai — to a place where a bridge is not just a road but a state of being, a passage between noise and silence, fear and awe, sound and light. Here, dub techno is no longer just music — it becomes the very space between steps, the vibration of metal, the echo below, the reflection of the sky in the water. It is the sound of balance — recorded at altitude, above the river, above time itself.

Yours in sound and spirit,
The [PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] Crew.
