Wayward at F8 - 2023

Talk about kicking off the new year with a bang! For the first edition of Wayward in 2023, we had guest DJs Tariq (Direct To Earth), Lisa Rose (Nocturnal Code), and Isolator (Peter Clarke B2B DJ Clairity), a solid lineup of heavy hitters! This month's edition was definitely more techno leaning, and every one of our selectors came through with solid thump! 

Here is my opening set from that night. Hope you like it! Wishing you all a safe, healthy, happy, and prosperous 2023!

Recorded live at F8 Nightclub, San Francisco, CA.

Wayward at F8 // Jan 2023

On Feb 16 2023, we had our second Wayward event of the year.

But that definitely wasn’t the case this night! 

We had a solid turnout from the very beginning until the very end, with a packed dance floor and good vibes as far as the eye could see! Every one of my guest DJs (Count, Ober, and Gav) were completely dialed in, with excellent track selections and flawless mixing.

This was my closing set from that night. I’m quite pleased with it, and I hope you enjoy it as well ❤️

Wayward at F8 // Feb 2023

The March 2023 edition of Wayward coincided with St. Patrick's Day, and we certainly had a little luck o' the Irish! It was an exciting event, with Ogan (f.k.a. The General) playing his first ever live set! Wayward regular Friedlander graced the decks with his signature dark melodic beats, and Mike Hays took us on a trip through the cosmos with our first ever dub techno set! There were multiple competing events that night with some heavy hitting international artists, but we were fortunate to have had a solid turnout all night. Much love and gratitude to all the fine folks who joined us on the dancefloor. Sláinte! 🍀

Wayward at F8 // March 2023

The July edition of Wayward was a blast! I got to open up the room for David Alec (Pink Mammoth), Friedlander (Camp Synthesis), and Redbloom, and all of them played some excellent tunes! We had a great crowd from start to finish! Since I was on opening duties, I played a little more funky and upbeat than my usual style -- a rare opportunity for me :)

Winter Wayward Land // 2023.12.21

Winter Wayward Land at F8 // December 2023

Yaz is a San Francisco-based DJ who enjoys playing tech house, deep tech, minimal, and techno. He is an active member of the Burning Man community and underground house/techno community in San Francisco.

Yaz has played all over San Francisco at all the major venues, including Public Works, Mighty / The Great Northern, Monarch, Midway, and Halcyon. He was a resident DJ at the venerated Wish Lounge for 5+ years, running his monthly Wayward party right up until the pandemic caused Wish to close. Once it was safe to do so, he has taken Wayward to its new home F8 Nightclub, and has been a resident there since August 2021. 

Yaz has collaborated with many different promoters and labels, and has opened and closed for (or shared billing with) well-known artists including John Digweed, Bob Moses, The Scumfrog, Tommy Four Seven, John Monkman, Technasia, and Marques Wyatt, to name a few.

His love for Burning Man is only rivaled by his love for music. His styles go from deep tech, minimal and techno to indie dance. You can find him on the playa playing for his camp DeMentha, and everywhere else for The Janky Barge, Airpusher, and Icarus. Yaz has also participated in many fundraisers in San Francisco for the aforementioned camps, as well as DISTRIKT, Mayan Warrior, the Salty Jacks, and others.
