Celebrating the solstice and the end of Gemini season with this impromptu mix, filled with deeply soulful uplifting house grooves. All these tunes pass my feel-good vibe test and have been in my regular rotation lately, so I figured why not put them all together in a mix to enjoy this summer? Its a mix of old and new, as far back as 2001 and as recent as last week, including tunes and edits by Jim...

Here's Volume 13 of my emotionally expressive mix series. Ongoing since 2012, these mixes tell stories based on my most meaningful life experiences. The entire process of compiling, mixing, and relistening is cathartic to me. This is how I close a chapter in order to have a blank new page to write the next story on. About the narrative behind this mix: This mix tells a tale of a beautiful love tha...

Another impromptu journey into deep house. Deep, soulful, sundrenched, jazz-laced house music, with an uplifting and motivating spirit. As the sunsets come later each day, something within me awakens from winter hibernation: gratitude. So here's another "Feeling..." mix which portrays my inner weather forecast. Sunny and colorful. Orange, red, purple, and pink, to be exact. 😊 This one is all abou...

Here I am, doing what I do. Healing through music. This mix flows through the range of feelings I've worked through over the past month or so. Music is my emotional medicine, the conduit through which I fully process life's challenges (and triumphs, too!) I'm grateful to have been gifted with this ability, rather than becoming stuck in place or avoiding the feelings all together, as many do. Aroun...

Downtempo mixtape from 2017, blending various genres

This mix was originally published by 5 Magazine Chicago as a podcast in November 2017. I recently discovered that the mix was removed at some point, so I made this original upload "public" for nostalgia purposes, because this was honestly one of the most heartfelt mixes I ever recorded. Back story: was planning to move to Berlin on Nov 1 2017, and woke up the day before my flights feeling the need...

Oops. :-) That wasnt a microdose.🫣 But sometimes you just need to ride the wave..... This volume of Macrodose Sessions was totally unplanned, in every way. What started out as a simple Saturday evening jam session with a little microdose 🍄 at home turned into this musical journey which manifested itself, and very accurately portrays the exact inner experience I had during the process. It was ori...

I had the honor of playing another fun summer party in Brooklyn this year on my good friends Andre and Brittany's rooftop terrace, where we celebrated the 4th of July under the fireworks. Here's a recording of a set I that I played from 2am till 530am or so, when the party was at its silliest. Weird at times, funky at others, often trippy, sporadically silly, occasionally deep, and sometimes just...

Ready? Here we go. After 2 years, here's Volume 3 of my liquid drum & bass series. This set was recorded during a difficult period in my personal life, but it was very cathartic. Every track comes from the heart and was an accurate representation of what I was going through during that period. Music is my native language. Always from the heart.... that's how we roll around here, ya heard? One love...

On 4th June 2023, I had the honor of playing several extended sets with friends during my good pals' Andre & Brittany's 24-hour+ marathon rooftop party, in Bedstuy, Brooklyn NYC. We had a perfect sound setup for what was an intimate gathering filled with good vibes, great music, perfect weather, and plenty of debauchery 👾🥳🫠.

This mix ventures from deep house, to funky minimal, deep tech, and even some organic house vibes as well. Featuring music from artists such as Jan...

After over 3 years since the last chapter, I present the latest iteration of my ongoing audio journal series, Volume 11:11. This is my heart on my sleeve, in audio format. I've often found that these mixes succeed in communicating my feelings far more eloquently than words, and they've often foreshadowed future events in my life as well. When I began this series, music was my only viable form of c...

Continuing this series I began last summer during my travels, each of these Livin' The Vibe mixes have been compiled and recorded in different cities around the world, along my journeys while exploring the vibes and cultures of each city. After doing mixes last year in Amsterdam, Prague, and Vienna, I figured this summer I should start off in my hometown before I ship back off across the pond agai...
