VERTICAL PRIVATE | Session01: Beau Sebastian - Opening Set

I was fortunate enough to be able to spend the Christmas and New Year of 21/22 with friends old and new in Tulum. Along the way I was able record several of my sets, including this 3 hour Christmas party on a rooftop overlooking the jungle.

21.12.18 Beau Sebastian Live @ Casa Tzigane, Tulum MX

This set of new and overlooked tracks from 2022 was recorded at midnight in New Zealand, which is the 1st (significant) place on the planet to experience the roll of the calendar and so if you are lucky enough to be enjoying this on your New Year's Eve then you can think of this as a transmission from the future! I wish you all the best for the New Year and please be kind to each other!

22.12.31 A New Years Eve Set

22.12.31 A New Year's Eve Set Mixed by Beau Sebastian

On an evening here in Sydney (that was honestly not nearly as nice as this cover would suggest) I recorded my first "Isolated Sunset" in over 2 years. What has come to be called "Organic House" at its worst can be beautiful but entirely forgettable, but at its best it can be powerfully evocative - using live instrumentation to create incredible sound scapes that communicate passion like no other sub-genre of House Music. I hope you enjoy the journey!

23.01.19 Isolated Sunsets Vol.12 - Sydney, Australia

Spending quite a bit of time in Portugal is giving me some extra time to catch up on music and set recordings well overdue for my attention. This set is another slow burning collection of downtempo ethno house showcasing some of the more astonishing producers in the genre working today. For some this set's darker feel and slow tempo might distract from the rich, complex arrangements of the genre, but each track has consciously been given room to breath in the mix - to be its own fulfilling chapter of the larger story - and many of these tracks will surprise you with with their depth and emotional density. That said, I encourage you to listen late, listen loud, and to give yourself over to the next 90 minutes without distraction...

23.07.22 The Age of Light Vol.13 - Loulé, Portugal

23.07.22 The Age of Light Vol.13 - Algarve, Portugal

It has been a serious while since I have cranked out one these sets, but spending some time this past Christmas actually on the Hokianga for the first time since before COVID and not taking time out of my not so busy schedule really wasn't an option. So here is a really nice little set of Organic House meets Progressive House (both terms I find to be wildly misleading)for your listening pleasure...

23.01.07 Mists Over The Hokianga Vol.6 - Mixed by Beau Sebastian

23.01.07 Mists Over The Hokianga Vol.6

The last time I posted one of these sets was in the darkest days of the Lockdown in 2020 - an eternity away when everything about the world felt less certain and a little more raw. This set was recorded on New Year's Day 2023 in New Zealand - the middle of summer in the Southern Hemisphere and instead a time of hope and renewal for me and the world. While I tag of these tracks in my collection as "Dark" (hence the title of this series) they are just as often the some of the most emotionally full and sensorially astonishing tracks that I experience as a DJ - and I love these journeys as much as I love any of the music that I am fortunate to be able to play and publish for your listening pleasure.

Here then is music from artists such as Rinzen, K-os Theory & SIAAH, Teho, Darksidevinyl, Sabo, Lismant, Levy M, Lazarusman, and many others...

23.01.01 Through A Glass Darkly Vol. 9

In November 2023 I was in Medellin, Colombia playing on the Aeonica Stage @ RITVALES. This set of Afro House was prepared for a late night slot that ended up being cancelled - but I liked it so much that I went ahead and recorded it anyway. Let me know what you think!

24.02.16 Beau Sebastian Live @ SAGA Supper Club, Venice Beach CA

This is actually a recording of a pre-set rehearsal that I'm posting while we wait for the good (and apparently very busy) folk at Aeonica to get their shite together to post the actual set recordings. Most gigs that I play I will have at the very least a pretty tight "crate" of tracks to play from, or sometimes (as in this case) I will map out precisely what I want to play and when. The truth for me is that you can never really know what anybody is going to like, so I make the commitment to play what I love and trust that if I do my job properly then it's a journey that [you] want to take with me. Anyway, Los Vampyros (the name I gave to the very stylish Colombian festival goers who wear sunglasses while bathing in the lights from the stage) seemed to enjoy the set and I had a blast playing it for them. Enjoy!

23.11.05 Beau Sebastian @ Aeonica Stage, RITVALES Festival, Colombia

23.11.05 Beau Sebastian @ The Aeonica Stage, RITVALES, Colombia

A 2 hour edit of a 3 hour set recorded live at my favorite hotel on the Playa - The Ashram Galactica. This one is a rollicking, uptempo Afro and Organic House banger that kicks off with Ameme's "Torero" and doesn't let off until we get off at Rufus' remix of Adriatique & Who Made Who's "Miracle". Let me know what you think!

24.08.29 Live @ Ashram Galactica, Burning Man 2024 (Edit)

Friday was a busy day at my first Burn since 2012 with 3 sets in 18 hours - the first of which was this deep, progressive journey on Charlie The Unicorn artcar dedicated to MIss Cornelia. Many thanks to Chino and the whole Charlie crew, Drew for hunting us down, and my girl Cornelia for being my light.

17.09.01 A Sunrise Set for Cornelia - Beau Sebastian Live on Charlie The Unicorn, Burning Man 2017

An invitation to attend an elegant affair should never be ignored if possible - especially when it involves a remote 'castle' in the hills above San Diego; a candle lit, sit down dinner for 60 people; and a dress code of lingerie for women and black tie for men. Throw in some good friends and a handful of DJ's who love what they do - and voila!

17.10.07 Eyes Wide Open Vol 1. - Beau Sebastian Live in San Diego, CA

The 2nd in what has become an annual sojourn into the more emotional side of Progressive House (and what is now called "Melodic House & Techno"). This set features work from artists such as WhoMadeWho, Stereocalypse, Hraach & Armen Miran, Dan baber & Fractal Architect, Clawz SG, Danito & Athina, Stan kolev & Matan Caspi, Rikfell, Township Rebellion, Dee Montero, and Yost.

17.10.22 Mists Over the Hokianga Vol. 2 - Mixed by Beau Sebastian

17.10.22 Mists Over the Hokianga Vol. 2

For your consideration(as we like to say here in Hollywood) - Part 2 of this epic downtempo set kicked it up a notch as the hosts of one of the Playa's most notorious and long running salons opened their doors to a dusty public who had been patiently lining up for over an hour on a gorgeous Friday evening in Black Rock City...

17.09.01 Beau Sebastian Live @ Ashram Galactica Pt. 2, Burning Man 2017

In the first few hours of the new year I found myself (unusually)at home and road testing a new sound system. This set combines some of the best new tracks of the last half of the year, a few that may be familiar to frequent Soundcloud listeners, but mostly tracks that I loved but that I didn't get a chance to include in live recordings.

18.01.01 Through A Glass, Darkly Vol.1 - A Beau Sebastian Mix

18.01.01 Through A Glass Darkly Vol.1

The first of 2 live accompaniments recorded at LIB 2018.

18.05.24 An Ambient Yoga Set for Gianna Delatorre - Beau Sebastian Live @ LIB 2018

18.05.24 An Ambient Yoga Set for Gianna de la Torre - Beau Sebastian Live @ LIB 2018

My Friday night "residency" at the Ashram Galactica was, for various reasons beyond my control,  my only DJ performance on the Playa this year. This is the first part of that set, a sexy journey through the desert before midnight that sets the tone nicely for the magic that followed...

19.08.30 Beau Sebastian Live @ Ashram Galactica Pt.1 - Burning Man 2019 

Late October saw Los Angeles, like a lot of the world, still under a "stay-at-home" order. Having endured several months of actually staying at home a handful of us decided to instead to stay-in-RV's out in the desert near Joshua Tree over the full moon weekend - an idea that resulted in this downtempo burner as the moon rose over the desert in front of us on that Saturday night...

This set features tracks and remixes from B.A.X.; Lost Desert remixing DSF; Mass Digital; Nhil & Sarkis Mikael; Roy Rosenfeld; Socko; Amonita & Makebo; Lane 8; Framework; Luttrell; Cook Strummer; Mollono.Bass; and Felix Rapahel & Yannek Maunz.
