Short but sweet, please share these beats

It had been a long time (almost 2 years) since I played at a full moon gathering... last August I took over on the decks after sunrise and played a 4 hour set to close the party

Summer Tour Mix Release #1 recorded live Saturday, July 29 at Long Beach Love Festival! I am spoiled happy Anton recorded this as I had to run to make my set with all the traffic coming in, did not have time to catch my breath ket alone set my recorder up. For coming in on the run like that I am really happy with this mix! Starting and ending on the deep house tip with tech-house in the middle, ho...

Recorded live under the full moon at one of the most beautiful places in the world - Stellar Gardens in Kau'ai, Hawaii! This is part one of a 2-hour set, make some noise if you want the second half ;) Big thanks to my host, Jmeans, who brought me to this fantastic place and then to Oahu and Maui for other gigs. This was the cherry gig of the trip - outdoors, under the moon and stars, vibing crowd,...

This is a hot new techno mix that I played at Deck 22 in Tijuana for Baja Burner! Super fun party and crowd, I had a great time there and felt the love from everyone

Bump it loud! This techno escalator was recorded live at Mioli presents Vibes on March 16, 2017, at Monarch Club in San Francisco. Thanks to Emily and Nathan for bringing me, and to the up-for-it crowd that ate up this techno treat on the dance floor

Please repost this unique 2.5 hour desert journey from tech-house to techno recorded in the Mojave at Elements of Life Gathering Feb 25, 2017 :) Thanks to the artists for their lovely tracks, the dancers for braving the cold, the organizers from Undercurrent and Deep Aura for bringing us all together

Thank you to The BPM Festival and Listed Productions for bringing me to Playa del Carmen, Mexico for another amazing experience! Recorded 11pm-12am at the The BPM Festival: Listed Presents PLAY, idea was to keep things deep but also bring it up a notch as the dance floor is steadily growing during this time -you should feel that transition. Being the first major party of the New Year I like to bri...

This is my most techno set of the year, recorded on Saturday night Oct 29, 2016 in the forest at La Jolla Indian Reservation close to San Diego, CA. I will be playing peak time NYE in Los Angeles at Tropikroma Party - check this page for more info: www.facebook.com/events/1601795343462519/

This set was recorded live last Saturday night at the Re: Love Retreat just north of Los Angeles. Thanks to Bret Wallace for having me out

One of my favorites from 2016, being asked to play on a progressive lineup takes me out of my box and challenges me to play in a genre I'm not known for. Music genres can be so loaded - as soon as you hear one you have your opinion. This is my take on progressive and I really enjoyed the opportunity! I put a lot of intention into the set and am very happy with the way it is mixed. Progressive is a...

On the dark and trippy side for me, this was a freaky fun party in the woods! If you were there, hope you enjoyed this set! If you were not, your chance to relive the moment :)

Here's my set from my first gig in New York in over a decade! Hopefully won't be that long til next time ;) I had a great time and the dance floor seemed to like it to. Special shout out to Seph for coming out to my gig and catching up with me! It's also my first set posted here in quite a while, I've been busy with other projects ;) Thanks to Tal Ohana for the booking, and my agent, Gunita at Lis...

Live at the vibey Bara Bara club in Puerto Morelos, north of the hustle and bustle of BPM Festival January 16, 2016. 2.5 hours of a 3 hour set, thanks to Gabo for having me and Gunita for setting up the gig. Also to Jason Bendewish for playing a great set before me and to Team Oasis for representing on the dance floor, pre-partying ahead of our fabulous Oasis Tulum retreat :) Oasis Retreats: https...

Live at Tropical Oasis New Year's Retreat!

Recorded live 10:30pm-12:00am at Fire Fall 10 Year in Humboldt County, CA. This was a raging party with headliner DJ Dan, up in the beautiful redwoods in McKinleyville, CA I was last up for Firefall 8. So many good people there, and a rocking dance floor! Hope you enjoy the set!

Tropical was born on Friday, October 9, 1998 and this year we celebrated the anniversary exactly, to both the day and day of the week - Friday October 9, 2015! The party featured 5 djs with over 100 years combined experience playing a mix of music old and new. A success on all levels, Tropical added another $1,051 to the total donated to charity causes over the years. Our beneficiary, Give a Beat,...

Recorded live 400-530am in a warehouse just south of downtown Los Angeles following the Tropical Boat Party in Long Beach. This set is a deep chugger, smoothly building energy in the wee hours of the night :) Recorded between Hoj and Dink. Big thank you to the Wulfpack who took the lead on this party while I was on the boat! We had a great night and raised money for The Wulfpack BM camp and Give a...

Recorded live at Crowbar, Boise's first club dedicated to electronic music! Many thanks to Eric Harris and Jason Kovac for giving me the opportunity to play a 4 hour set last Saturday night on opening weekend for Crowbar Boise. Longer sets allow the artist to fully explore multiple styles and get into a flow not possible in the typical hour or hour and a half time frame :) This got me to thinking...

A very unique set for me featuring my take on vocal house, recorded 9:00-10:45am at the second Morning Gloryville party in LA. Dancers rose early and enjoyed a super fresh space, dance floor and climbing walls - LA Boulders is an awesome venue for this party! I really enjoyed playing upbeat morning house music for the fun crowd here and look forward to doing so again sometime

Recorded 10pm-midnight at the Super Trippy Hippie Outdoor Party, August 8, 2015 A journey through trippy house, tech-house and techno, rollercoaster seesaw of energy. Hope you Like!

Many thanks to Michael Manahan for bringing me up to Rebar in Seattle to celebrate his birthday at Starseed Transmissions! Rebar is one of those clubs that feels more like a warehouse - not in the trendy part of town, low on hipsters, high on dance vibe. It was a pretty full house but perfect on the dance floor, just enough space for everyone to get down :) I've really enjoyed coming to Seattle so...

It’s been about a month since I put a set out on Soundcloud, today I am happy to present my set from Believe You Me in Portland, Oregon April 10. Believe You Me is Portland’s hottest new little house party, and this was my second appearance there. With capacity at just 100-150, it attracts a quality crowd which reminds me both of my heyday in Portland playing small underground parties in the early...

This set went down from 2-4 on a beautiful Sunday afternoon at the Palomar Hotel in San Diego, CA. It is pretty mellow and deep but groovy, as you would expect poolside :) The party had a great lineup including Dave Pezzner from Seattle, and Joeski from who I had last seen about 8 years ago in New York :) Both played great sets and hopefully we see those on Soundcloud soon, they were also recorded...

This was my first pure house mixtape - Sentient Being - released on cassette May 1999. Of the many mixtapes I made, this one is my favorite! I think it will put you in a good mood, right away
