Here's my auditory trip behind the scenes of Enchanted Forest Gathering 2017 @enchantedforestgathering next to Laytonville, in California's Mendocino County. The music I picked on this #podcast is either from artists who played at the event, tracks played by DJs on site or that I picked up on while travelling to and from the festival. ~~~~~~~~ 1:11 - First we rewind time to get some surf culture c...

As I step away to participate in an Artist Relations internship I leave you with a mix of some of the dope tracks I've been discovering while at Black Oak Ranch (and over the airwaves along the way)-- plus a few random throwbacks for fun.

Sometime things don't go your way. Sometimes things fall apart, literally.

Plus I remix the situation for your techno enjoyment. 17:03 - Breaking (Local) News: -We're the first to drop the news th...

By the end of the show five guests had rolled thru the studio to share their stories, or at least their unique perspectives. Not going to lie, there may have been alcohol involved. But, I think you'll agree, we tapped into some pretty raw honesty. Plus Mack gave one of the most touching shoutouts I've ever heard IN MY LIFE! Best part was, it was his way of referencing horizonal frequencies ;) 5:13...
