Live Set Recordings

I recorded my NYE performance at a house party full of some of my closest friends. It was a wonderful night :D

I turned a few instances of weird mic interference way down, because just killing it felt odd. I also reduced the midnight countdown volume to match the rest of the waveform so it doesn't hurt to listen to, although it is still certainly clipping lol.

Recording of my 1:10-2:00 AM live set from Rhizome Presents Patchwork on May 25th, 2024 at The Faculty in Edmonton

Fantastic night full of fantastic people. Cool lights, great sound, great venue, great performers and a great crowd. If you want to relive 50 minutes of your life, missed it, or are looking for a track ID, here you go!

If it sounds a little different for the first 8 or so songs, it's because I had to re-record it after, as I forgot to press the button at the start O.o

Also, I feel pretty good about this set, but during the "Shadowban" -> "You Choose" transition, I got distracted by a redlining audio channel and was fiddling with a trim knob when I should have been mixing, so that's why the track stays in too long and gets pulled out abruptly xD

Rhizome Patchwork May 25th

This was a set I recorded on January 4th, 2025 for a friend's new years house party. I played the 11:00 pm to 12:30 am time slot. It was a lovely time, full of lots of close friends as well as plenty of cool people I had never met before. The sound setup was in his living room (and provided for by Opening Move), with speakers way too big for the space (the ideal setup). I think this set showcases my music taste, and it's evolution over the last year very well, as well as a tonne of fantastic artists including some super underrated ones. I am proud of how this came together in the end. There were no glaring mistakes, and the small ones I did make, it feels like I managed well and are hard for me to pick out unless I am listening very carefully at the exact moment they occur. If you want to relive 90 minutes of your evening, catch a piece of the set you missed, or glimpse a small sliver of an amazing night: here you go :D

Shout out to Opening Move, a Duo who played their first set (https://on.soundcloud.com/Tue7A6ZSfZsm5fTW7) in front of a crowd (and did a fantastic job) before me, as well as bonzai (https://on.soundcloud.com/aVBu6NwFvqLC8w727), a badass local artist who played a fantastic set after me.

The picture here is from the art window at the end of the night, which was open for anyone to add to all night.

All That Glitters 2025

I recently had the pleasure of DJing at a house party for a friend's birthday party. It was the 1-2am set time, last of the night. There was a Rane One MKII (that thing is sick), so myself and others played sets for the first time on said controller. There are a few moments in here where I leave an effect on, or a high pass doesn't work because you have to toggle it on (which I am not used to). I think I did a good job of improvising around mistakes when they happen, and I had a lot of fun putting this set together. My goal here was to showcase a really broad spectrum of the darker, techy side of drum and bass.

Just as well, I played my own song in the middle that I've been working on for the last 2 weeks. It somehow has turned out quite playable, despite not a tonne of effort on the mastering end of things there. I think it's just easier to master less busy arrangements without it coming out super crispy. It's an industrial hardcore / crossbreed track with big buss-distorted kick/bass stuff in it. I think it's quite fun, and fits into the set well.

Shout out to the hosts, the other DJs, all my friends who were there, and birthdays (and those who have them).

Till next time <3
