The opening set for one of the most unique sounds I’ve ever heard, Hozho, is now available on my SoundCloud channel (link in bio) 🧙🏽‍♂️⚡️

Handing over the controls to an international headliner is always an honor and definitely comes with its challenges. The goal is to get the crowd ready for peak time without making the set feel slow or boring. 🔥 

I really enjoyed playing this one—thanks to the amazing crowd for showing up, and to @xtyle_productions_cr
