dela Moon - Moontribe 31-Year Anniversary FMG (extended)

A huge thank you to Moontribe for having me out to celebrate their 31st anniversary with so many friends on the dancefloor. Here's my Saturday afternoon set of groovy breakbeats and four-on-the-floor to get ya movin' :)

Torie - Live @ Moontribe FMG 31st Anniversary

This is my personal favorite set I played at Burning Man 2024 due to it's uniqueness and the vibes of the camp.  

It wasn't a huge crowd but it was contained nicely and people were down for the musical journey with me :). 

Musically it's varied and pretty hard to put into a genre but leans techno with some bubbly, melodic, progressive, and ravey energies

Thanks much to Jack Donevan for having me play, I had a blast!

Hope you enjoy, and hope to see you on the Playa in 2025!

There are just a couple of parties that I play enough times to make a completely specific set for each time, and make it my absolute best.

One is Lightning in a Bottle, which I'm not a resident of but have played 7 of the last 8 fests.

I've prepared for many different time slots at LIB, always looking at this large and spectacular festival as one where people primarily want to dance and have fun.

So I ramp up my funk and vocals (usually playful but i did have one protest lyric in this year's - you can't miss it).  

I lean on the uplifting side, spend a lot of time choosing music and organizing a playlist so i can play appropriately for my time slot and come back thinking it was one of the best sets I've ever played.  

Something that was different for me this year is I took a year and a half off from buying new music prior to LIB in order to reporganize my collection, which now spans 30 years.

Sometimes it's better to understand better what you already have before adding to a massive music collection.

But I never intended my break to be that long!  It just kept going.  And I had a couple of hard drive farts in the middle which didn't help.  

But anyway,  I started buying music again about two months ahead of LIB because I wanted to play an all new music set,  and I also wanted to to  take the time to understand the new music very well.

The problem with playing all new music at a gig is that I don't always take the time to understand it well enough to know if it's as good as the music I already have.  It's fun because it's new... but is it really adding something?

So this time I really took the time to select tracks - I was picky AF!  
This time I spent a lot of time also to play with my tracks, mix them in different ways and really try to only include tracks that were blowing my mind, so that I could give that to the dance floor.

Also spent a lot of time on tagging producers in this description - hope it helps you to discover some great new artists and music!

Ben Annand LIB 2025 Junkyard Closer

My annual marathon closing set from Moontribe's 32 Year Anniversary was such a pleasure to play! What a vibe....

LiveatMoontribe32EarClosingSet

Patricio full set from The Junkyard at Lightning in a Bottle 2025

Patricio @ Lightning in a Bottle 2025

I sure hope you enjoy my second set from Camp Dayfunk 2025 as much as I enjoyed playing it!   If you do, please give it a like and consider re-posting it on Soundcloud - it just takes a second and is the most helpful way to share cool music to new people!

Camp Dayfunk is a Minneapolis-based campout in just its second year, taking place 2 hours East in the Wisconsin Woods - and I enjoyed its quality, intimacy, and cute little camp touches immensely.  Both this event and this set are very special to me <3

Before anything, let's talk about the Mix Cover.  I got great pictures from my first set and none from this 2nd, and it's fine.  Because I got something better than a picture - I got a Danceflooor Badge!  

It was one of the greatest honors of my DJ career to earn one of only 8 Dance Floor badges given out at this event  - not for my 4 hours of playing music where I dance some but maintain focus on the mixing - but for my many more hours of representation on the dancefloor as a dancer, which is where this all started for me... and honestly has stayed.  

I fricken love dancing and absolutely think it makes me a better DJ to study and appreciate music from both sides of the decks. I don't dance to everything and also want to give props where props are due - the music at this event was rock solid, and receiving the dance badge has as much to do with the quality of the other DJs playing as it does my dance stamina.  Fun fact, the most I ever danced was at @mingameslaby in Japan in 2007 ;)

Okay, about the music and vision for this set!  My first set at the event, the night before, was previously posted to the event's Soundcloud (@user-467880110) and I had a full dancefloor and lots of energy coming back at me - a Dj's dream.

This, my second set, Saturday 4-6pm, was a bit different.  It's daytime, there's a beach, and @djdanmusic, @Dj-Mes, and Mazi aka @audiosoulproject are playing B2B2B on that stage.  Right at the same time as my set at the Pavilion stage!  First thing that comes to my mind after I realize they are simultaneous - wtf am I going to do?

Contrast is the answer.  If people want it funky, they're gonna want to be down at the other stage.  I mean I wanted to be there too lol.  And who the heck wants the 2 stages to sound the same anyway, that's silly.  So I leaned into this contrast theme for my set.  Someone told me that I may have confused people a little lol.  I said 'good!'  

I'm really glad I had the opportunity to play the night before, because that was my more funky set - though my interpretation is a bit different from most.  I also won some hearts there, which created more interest than there would have been I think.

So anyway, this set was a challenge - a friendly challenge to myself to play a 2 hour set that was a bit out of the box without losing people, that would serve as a worthy contrast to that devastating funk of Dan, Mes and Mazi.  
 
I would guess overall people there probably liked my first set a tad more - but for me this one was hands-down the winner.  Partly because it was a full 2 hours of new music. Partly because my cup was already full since  I had nailed my set the night before and even got extended an extra hour -  the best hour.  And partly because I had experienced some challenge locking the XDJ the night before, but was effortlessly near flawless on Saturday. I felt zero pressure to do anything but be myself, and play what I felt at that time <3

In general, I favor very full tracks that envelope you with sound.  Besides contrast, the theme for this set is laid back and expansive.  There's funkiness, sure, there are some peaks and valleys energetically, but not at all like the night set.  Overall, it's a smooth ride through deep house with some vocals, minimal house and even a touch of techno, all  around 124bpm. 

Thanks for reading to the end!  I Hope you enjoy the music, and perhaps this background too!

Gavin Hardkiss DJ Set | Shambhala '25 Living Room Stage

I've been sitting on this recording for months now because this night was almost too magical to put into the interwebs. This is my 1.5hr opening set for @tycho at Public Works SF back in April '25. 

so here we are, uh ...many...months...later... ;) 

thank you to the public works family for having me back out – i love warming up a dancefloor as an opening DJ to set the tone, & continuing to learn the art of ~opening for artists that have wildly impacted your own creative path~. 

deep melodic housey tunes from my crates: a mix of new and old favs. enjoy the sonic grooves ~

Torie’s sound is multifaceted – to say the least. Coming from a global upbringing and current home base in the San Francisco Bay Area, she has been curating sonic adventures as a DJ and event producer for a decade. Torie interweaves elements of breakbeats, house, minimal, dark & driving techno, garage, acid, and drum and bass – balancing a line between heavy-hitting basslines and soulful vocals with ear-catching melodies.

She believes in the power of groove and always plays with one core intention in mind: to bring newfound life to the dancefloor.

– (she lives by the ethos of "i'm just here to play music & do cool shit with my friends").

As a core lead of Inquiry Collective and Inquiry Records, a builder & maker with Burning Man art cars ICARUS and Dusty Rhino, a resident DJ of You’re Welcome SF, and a co-founder of Dance With Haha, Torie draws inspiration from the dusty plains of the playa, the curious explorations of the Mojave desert, the underground dancefloors of SF, & the interstellar endeavors of ICARUS & its motley crew.

Torie has performed with KiNK, Superflu, Justin Martin, Overmono, Maya Jane Coles, Smilk, Anja Schneider, Tale of Us, Patrice Baumel, Marbs, Mikey Lion, Porky and Evan Casey, Rinzen, Dance Spirit, Eskuche, Marques Wyatt, Tycho, KMLN, Sabo, Justin Jay, Hoj, Kevin Knapp, Shiba San, Joeski and more. 

You may have also seen her with renowned crews like Space Cowboys, Distrikt, Ego Trip, and Desert Hearts – at the annual Breakfast of Champions block party on New Year’s Day for six consecutive years – or on the festival circuit at events including Lightning in a Bottle, Outside Lands, EDC Las Vegas, Northern Nights, Desert Hearts, The Untz Festival, Umbrella Weekend, Enigma, and Outside in Equinox. 

In 2025, you can find Torie throwing renegades and pop-ups with the Inquiry crew across California in clubs, deserts, undisclosed locations and beyond… as well as performing in SF, SD, Reno, LA and more.
