Edd - Fock Quarantine [Apparel Music] 2. Paul Rudder and Hurlee - Someone You Love [Peppermint Jam] 3. Max Telaer - Light of Life [B...

Balance It's something I strive for in life and in music curation.  Dark/light, somber/playful, rough/smooth, hard/soft, dusty/gleaming, grounding/spacey, minimal/ornate.  I love building sets that embody these dualistic qualities, whether kicking off with tracks that lean hard in one direction then slowly transitioning to tracks that lean in the opposite direction, or selecting tracks that are ba...

Pulse of the Prairie 2025 Had a most excellent time out on the prairie lands playing upstart festival / renegade Pulse of the Prairie for my Colorado debut.  Several CO crews assembled to bring out a solid taste of the local sound system culture across multiple stages, and I had the pleasure of playing this short but sweet set starting during the last traces of sunset on Dux Audio's Paraflex rig w...

Moth to Flame (Valentine's Day 2025 Special) You tread down a dimly lit corridor that opens to a hazy room subtly illuminated by red bulbs and candlelight, hesitating at the threshold.  The intoxicating aroma of incense hangs in the air.  Ethereal music plays gently in the background.  The ambiance draws you in.  A soft touch.  A spark.  You're coaxed into a fugue state, beckoned to let your inhib...

Flow State    A mental state in which a person is fully immersed in an activity, experiencing deep focus and enjoyment, where one feels energized and engaged, losing track of time and self-consciousness.  This mix features a range of groove-forward sounds to elicit a flow state in the listener, ranging from fluid hi-fi to acid-inflected lo-fi bits, with moods that shift from resolute and deep to b...

Amethyst Skies Welcoming the much-needed longer days with this set of groove-oriented tracks.  Conjuring a dancefloor under warm amethyst skies.  Hope you enjoy

Love Language One for the lovers and the lusters.  Strictly silky, sultry, salacious sonics in this mix to set the vibe for Valentine's Day, accompanied by samples from a couple of my favorite ASMRtists.  Yea, music is definitely my love language ❤️ Much love, Delfic TRACKLIST*: 1. Sebastian Mullaert and Eitan Reiter - You're the Proof of Heaven_falling Apart Into One [Mule Musiq] 2. Anton Lanski...

Fractured Heights Been really enjoying expanding the sonic lately, and took this mix as an opportunity to continue doing that.  I’ve sprinkled in some breakbeat in my sets over the years, but this is 1.5 hours of strictly spacey breaks goodness.  Some true gems in here of varied textures, generally slowed down to the tempos that I tend to play in.  When I first immersed myself in electronic music...

Liminalism Drawing inspiration from the changing seasons as the days get shorter and cooler, this set features tracks in a range of deep styles that alone or together dance along the border of consciousness/unconsciousness, that give the feeling of floating far away from your physical form but not completely out of sight, and that embody the moments of transition between sunset and dusk, dusk and...

Sensual Physics Hi there friends :) After more than three years away from the decks, I'm very happy to be back with you, if you're still out there, with a new set.  Personal life and the weight of the world really sapped me my desire to play over the last few years, and during most of the COVID era I hardly consumed any music at all.  Going to shows and seeing friends again over the last year has...

Medicine "One good thing about music, when it hits, you feel no pain". One of my favorite lyrics, and one that has resonated deeply with me over the last few months, which have seen more than their fair share of sad happenings. On many occasions I found myself feeling overwhelmed, only to have some sweet music-medicine take me away from whatever stress was consuming me. I've particularly been find...

Chemistry 002 For the second entry in my Chemistry mix series, I'm thrilled to have joined forces with Montreal-based selector Mike Haddad to bring you 2+ hours of proper deepness. Mike holds down a monthly show on friskyRadio, is a resident for Husa Sounds, and has contributed guest mixes to many top notch podcasts, including Mousikē, Schirmchendrink, Elektro Uwe, Magician on Duty and Ethereal Ko...

For A Daydream: Love (Lost) Greetings friends. It's been a while since I've recorded a set for my For A Daydream series, but happy to have this new entry in the books. This mix explores familiar themes of love and love lost. A few luminous moments here for sure, but suffused with the overall somber vibe that I tend to gravitate toward. Lots of pretty tracks included in this set which I had been sa...

The Expectant Father I know it's been a bit quiet over here, but for good reason, as I've been working around the clock with missus to prepare for the birth of our first child, Sage. With only 2 weeks or so until we expect her to arrive, I carved out some precious time to record this new set, "The Expectant Father". This mix is dedicated first to Sage, and second to my wife who has been so amazing...

Chemistry 001 One of the things I've always appreciated most about music is its ability to bring people together. For most of my life, that has manifested in music facilitating my connections with others in my capacity as a listener, whether by conjuring a special moment for me to share with a fellow reveler on a dance floor, prompting discussion about societal issues or serving as a marker in tim...

Black Rock Vision The music of Burning Man has had a significant impact on my direction as a DJ and, with the burn (and Oregon Eclipse) rapidly approaching, I wanted to put together a set that would amplify the anticipation and excitement that so many of my friends are feeling as the time to go "home" draws near. The setting that I had in mind when I recorded this was deep playa after the sun has...

Interstellar One of my favorite things about the summer is the opportunities it affords to enjoy the night sky. There's always a bit of magic in the air around midnight when I'm camping far out in the woods, away from the bustle and light pollution of the city, surrounded by nothing but trees and stars, staring out into the infinite. This set is inspired by those moments. A collection of recent tr...

For a Daydream (Part II - In Bloom) Continuing my "For a Daydream" series, Part II is an airy, sun-infused affair inspired by the spring and summer seasons and designed for morning/daytime listening sessions. This set features a collection of dreamy tracks that conjure images of rolling meadows, abundant blooms, and clear blue skies as far as the eye can see. I hope it takes you to a lovely place...

For A Daydream (Part I - April Showers) With winter's grip finally loosening in New York and the anticipation of warm summer days beginning to creep in, I often find myself daydreaming of time outdoors - day parties, beach outings, hiking, all that good stuff. The rain showers that roll through around this time and relegate me to the indoors lend a wistful quality to those musings and served as th...

Live @ Outsiders This is my set from the night of March 3, 2017, laying it down with the Outsiders fam at Ceremony (Brooklyn, NY). It’s a very new party - this was only the second installment - but the vibe is already on point. Was such a pleasure to play to a sold-out dancefloor full of good energy and smiling faces. Wish I could have played longer! The set starts with a deep house groove sensibi...

The Embrace Following on a string of podcasts for @mydrecords, @schirmchendrink, @west-coast-podcast, @sunset-grooves and @newgrooves, here's the first mix that I've recorded for my personal page since August - "The Embrace". Crafted with Valentine's Day in mind, this set is a mellowed trip through tender, melancholy-tinged deep house tracks from the recent past, designed for intimate fireside lis...

The Jackrabbit Speaks (Burning Man 2016 Special) The music of Burning Man holds a special place in my heart. The rhythms and melodies coming out of sound/art camps like @robot-heart and @whiteoceanofficial have had a significant impact on my direction as a DJ, with the Robot Heart 2013 set from @atish and @mcslee marking a turning point in my musical journey. In the month leading up to this year's...

Live @ Devotion: Astral Oasis (w/ @hyenahmusic, @tuckahoe and @whiteowljaguar)[July 9, 2016] Each time that the Dévotion tribe gathers there is magic in the air, and the cosmos were dripping with it this night. What was meant to be a two hour opening performance started a bit late as mother nature was thoroughly drenching the open air garden venue where the festivities were to commence. By 11:30 t...

Coastal (Part I - Golden Hour). The period shortly before sunset is referred to by photographers as the "golden hour" - the time during which daylight is redder and softer than when the Sun is higher in the sky. When the sun is near the horizon, sunlight travels through a greater depth of atmosphere, reducing the intensity of the direct light, so that more of the illumination comes from indirect l...

Pressure This mix is the winner of West Coast Podcast's 2016 Mixtape Contest - endless gratitude for all of your support! I'll be putting together a fresh set for WCP in the coming months that will be featured alongside mixes from some of my favorite selectors and producers in the game. An intense, melodic, deep tech workout from start to finish, this set is a good counterbalance to the softer and...
