Let The Goat Times Roll (Laissez Les Baaa Temps Rouler)

It's been quite some time since I've posted a mix, but I've decided to get back in the habit of it. Over the past years, I've recorded many mixes, but was held back by posting them due to various imperfections. "Don't let the perfect get in the way of the necessary!" a mentor of mine used to say. So, let's get back to it with this lovely chill house mix.

This mix is dedicated to two incredible people, Dave and Amy, who live their lives in a perpetual embrace of love, creativity, celebration and freedom. These are some of the tracks I played for them in a magical place, out of time, out of reality, out in space, and full of love. I'm grateful for generous people like you who honor and support artists in their craft. 

You could call this a Paul Simon sandwich.

Also sending love to the legendary Joegh Bullock, my dear friend and mentor who passed this year. Now you're swimming in the Sea of Dreams and dancing in the Mystic Beat Lounge. I hope it's everything you imagined, as your imagination was infinite.

FREE HIGH QUALITY DOWNLOAD - Welcome to dreamtrap. The BootsTrap mix is a bass-heavy excursion into the the evolving horizon of deep trap music where we'll explore the emerging style of chill, beautiful songs - infused with the hip-hop inspired bass beats that make trap what it is. This mix was specially crafted to make the use out of your subwoofers, so if you have bass in your soundsystem - turn it up. If you've tried trap music before and it's not for you, I urge you to give this sub-genre a shot. It's quite different than the usual in-your-face eardrum-wompers you've heard before.

BootsTrap Vol. 2 - (Chill Trap Mixtape)

Although I have had the extreme good fortune to play Electric Forest in every year of its existence, I have rarely played anywhere but Silent Disco. In 2015 I got an invite to come over to the next stage over, Ian Xavier's gorgeous frontier fort of a stage experience known as THE GRAND ARTIQUE. Since an invite to play on a live stage at Forest wasn't something I take for granted I spent weeks devising the perfect set to fit the rustic, farmhouse decor and technobilly vibe of the staff.

With blues, bluegrass, rock & country rolled up into breaks, disco & midtempo, I think you will find this set of Organic Beats to be a tasty treat,

This is a DJ mix that has been in the works for many years. After finally compiling my collection of reggae mashups and remixes, I discovered that I had enough great music for more than one mix, so here is volume one. Rasta Rediscovered is an exploration of Reggae through Mashups, Bootlegs, remixes & rare re-creations. This eclectic mix of Reggae mashups and strange re-creations bring together many musical genres under the familiar bass lines and beloved riddims of Jah Music. This is a live mix by yours truly.

Back again to leisurely rock your boomboxes with My Definition of Chill Vol. 3. I've been overjoyed with the reaction I've received from the first two installments.  What began as a mix I was initially going to keep to myself ended up becoming my most listened to mix I've released. For volume 3 my life in San Francisco was a big inspiration for the songs that made it in. A departure in style from both volumes 1 and 2. I'm really happy to share these 22 songs with you that I've been listening to for the last 6 months I've been putting this together. Lots of cool stuff I've run across with vocals from Bob Marley, Al Green and Paul McCartney, a classic from DJ Shadow remixed in elegant style, old school chill classics with Orbital and Nightmares on Wax (I had to include them at some point) and some nods to particular friends with a few of the songs. I want to send a big thank you to everyone who has expressed their gratitude for the My Definition of Chill mixes. It keeps the wheels turning knowing other people are really appreciating the end result.
