This Burn was challenging. The rain and mud cancelled one of the moments I was most excited for: Sunrise with the Bubbles & Bass crew. I've loved the vibes from that camp for years, from watching/listening to folks there like @N2Nmusic and David @Hohme, and it was a dream in itself to be chosen to play. I got to see some dope folks earlier in the week, including my homie Goma one afternoon and an all-femme lineup another morning. The energy and love were so high! 

With this one, I wanted to give a little funk, a little soul, a little Latinidad, and a little history (and an homage to Osunlade at the end, who would have also played that Saturday morning.) I felt drawn to record the music that would have inspired the moment. Unforgettable. Thanks so much to StephyV and Lidia Lo (who would've played after me!) for the encouragement! 

Check out their Bubbles & Bass moments!

I hope y'all enjoy, and let's do a little sunrise moment next year :)

Black Panda @ Bubbles & Bass (Sort of) | Burning Man 2023 Sunrise

Something a little different for ya.  Me at my moodiest.  In more recent years I apply tags to my tracks of different vibes so that I can organize my massive music collection better.  One of the biggest categories is 'Moody.'  

Of course a lot of people going out on Friday and Saturday night to my gigs are out to celebrate, so this category doesn't get as much play live as more funky upbeat rhythms.  As such it's somewhat underrepresented on my Soundcloud.

Well not anymore :). I'm dedicated to releasing more sets this year and I see this one as the start of a series.  Welcome to Ben Annand Moody AF :). 

The opener of this series is an opening set I played on a Sunday night from 9-11pm. It's actually just the first hour, 9-10.  It's ok to be moody when people are settling in :). It was also November just after the time change and loss of light... the beginning of the moody season in Eugene :)

An opening set is always interesting musically (or should be) because you get to start from scratch, and set the tone for the whole night.  So it's always a set that should be played with intention.

In this particular case, I was in a sensitive space because I had taken some really nasty criticism from the organizer of an event recently before.  I won't go into detail but it was very tactlessly and cruelly delivered.  So of course that affected my headspace both in terms of insecurity, and in terms of wanting to deliver a great set since I didn't entirely disagree with the criticism so much as I was hurt by the tone from a supposed friend.

So why am I telling you this?  Because this set is moody as fuck!  It opens with a lush vocal track that really spoke to me when my marriage suddenly went up into smoke. I find this track really intense so I haven't played it much but at home.   

The mix stays deep and moody, gradually building energy then wavering then building.  It's super trippy, a little dark/melancholy for me, but still house and totally danceable of course :)

So with all that said, I hope you enjoy this one and I will keep em coming!

Ben Annand Moody AF Vol 1 (Live at the Big Dirty in Eugene at Secret Sauce)

Our sunrise outting at Burning Man is one of my favorite happenings each year. It's a culmination of our art car project, the Dirty Goat Roadhouse, DJing, and celebrating a new day with loved ones. It's pretty special. 
This mix is a selection of tracks that I don't play out very often. These are not bangers or heavy hitters, but a collection of minimal/deep/tech/melodic house music spanning over 15 years. This sunrise was right before the big storms, the sky was spectacular. Please enjoy the mello vibes.

As a dj, Zeebo's has put in some serious work to develop his sound and skills over the past few years, his debut set at Flammable is a lovely reflection of his range and abilities to keep butts on the dance floor. 

Enjoy the set and lookout for more of his appearances this summer!

In Ector's Keeping | Osey / Red Project | Six Of Cups

Nostalgia and fond memories of the past. Reflection. Old friends re-enter one's life, bringing pleasant surprises. Meeting aspects of the past. The card also indicates having to face and contend with frightening and debilitating memories of childhood.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Next up in ArcanaCast Ep 03, we present Osey/Red Project. Osey has a knack for crafting sonic tapestries that set him apart from other DJs. His mixes often have a classic mixtape feel, sprinkled with bootlegs, samples, and curiosities that keep you guessing. Stylistically, his versatile music selection is instinctively groovy and charismatic. Not one to flap about on the wings of fashion, Osey digs deep to avoid the usual tropes & trends. This mix for Arcana Podcast Series, entitled "In 'Ector's Keeping," is no exception. Solid deep grooves, melodic, melancholic, and engaging storytelling make for an entertaining listen.

Lick the DJ - live at FnF Summer Campout 2024

I had the honor of playing a poolside set for Camp Silver Spur (near Yosemite) this past Fourth of July during their Glitter Ranch campout.

Everyone was lovely, but I felt the energy change at some point and tried to match the music accordingly. A gentleman floating in the pool shared his experience of being in the water when the bass changed (after my set), which was nice 😅

Thank you so much to @seanmajors for inviting me to play! 🙏❤️

Bar 25 Music Series | Niconé

Born in Hawaii, YamYams grew up mostly studying classical music and jazz while singing and playing the piano, clarinet, and guitar with various bands around the San Francisco Bay Area. She found her way to electronic music via a new found love for drum and bass, eventually building a square-wave synthesizer from scratch while studying physics in college. YamYams also managed various touring artists for ~20 years before finally starting to play out and tour herself in 2022.

YamYams grew up on 90s hip hop and R&B and has always had a soft spot for classic rock, punk rock, and symphonic death metal. YamYams loves most forms of music and says she typically plays “house,” but that’s been known to include afro and latin beats along with influences from her classical & jazz music backgrounds and things like hip hop, breaks, and techno. 

YamYams has had the joy of playing various festivals, campouts, and 40+ venues across five states, including Burning Man, San Francisco Pride, Cascadia NW Music & Arts Festival, and Seacompression.
