March Moontribe Full Moon gatherings are my favorite ones of the year. The weather is turning and people come out in celebration. At this particular gathering, as I began my closing set, the wind kicked up quite a bit and created a somewhat challenging environment in which to operate my gear, but thanks to the support of our community I persevered. This is most of the recording from that set, trimmed a bit to fit 2 hours. Tracklist: 1. Shamans […]
This is the second half of a recording of my set on the chill stage at Desert Escape in October 2017. The first half is called “Ebb”, so this one I called “Flow”. There was a natural break in the aesthetic of the music which caused me to want to release them as separate mixes. This mix is a bit more urban and established, with some classic tunes, while the other is grounded in newer styles of music. Tracklist: 1. […]

This was the first half of a live set I played on the chill stage at a desert event called Desert Escape in October 2017. I had been booked for the main stage but couldn’t resist laying down some tunes at the little chill stage that was set up near my camp. I was exploring newly added tunes in my library, just playing around. Tracklist: 1. Kuba – Dub of the Dreamer 2. Entheogenic – Asherah 3. Dubsalon – Ancient […]
Who doesn’t love a good house party? This was an opening set for such a setting, celebrating a dear friend’s birthday while cocktails and dinner were served. Later on, dancing commenced.

Spring has sprung! I spent a glorious weekend out in Joshua Tree, where the wildflowers were fully going…err..wild. Unlike other weekends this season, the purpose of my visit to JT was to attend and play at a private party for some new friends I had made recently. These friends are full-on aerial circus performers with a huge barn that they’ve turned into a big top circus area. It was so cool! I loved the environment and the people were pretty […]
March is often a favorite month for a Moontribe Full Moon Gathering. The weather can be amazing, not too cold at night and toasty during the day (but not blisteringly so). Lots of people have been hibernating for the winter. If FMG falls on a weekend, it’s practically paving the way for a happy and well-attended event. That’s what this past gathering was like. Well over 1000 people, all smiles, happy to be out amongst friends old and new, enjoying […]
I let this mix sit in my archives while I battled the perfectionist inside. This was a live recording I made of a set I played in the summer of 2016, my first set playing out again with Traktor after almost a decade of using Ableton instead. I heard all kinds of roughness when I first listened to it, as I was just getting reacquainted with how mixing differs from one program to another. The rigidity of Ableton for DJing […]

On the first morning of 2016, I opened for none other than Bluetech, one of my favorite artists and also a dear friend. I’d crafted this set to have a dubby psychill […]
