DJ BLACKLOW | HOUSE IS A FEELING

Post this nearly 5-hour spooky set from The Chapel... sure, why not? Enjoy!

Sharing my full set from the patio of The Cuff in Seattle for its first ever "Demon Circuit" Halloween party! A huge shout out to Weston Blankenship for organizing this awesome new event and for having me play it... and also to my sis, Hector Fonseca, for playing an amazing set in the main room! This is a fun set with a gentle & gradual build-up. Enjoy!

I had such a great night in my former home town of Portland recently playing this late summer set at The Get Down for BRÜT. Feeling post-Burning Man inspired, I delivered a set that's truly emblematic of where my sound is heading these days. (more similar to what you heard in my PTown/Gifford House set back in July)

Learning the art of opening takes years and the first hour of this set is a true warm-up to welcome the crowd and slowly start filling the dance floor. DJ's should never start the night at an 11 and I have great honor & respect for the slow build and the long journey; music that weaves and tells a story over the course of the night. You'll hear a transition about an hour in when the crowd starts to usher in and the night really begins. From there on out, it's 90-minutes of tech house heaven.

I've been going a bit acapella crazy recently and this night was no exception. I had a lot of fun playing several tracks for the first time including Adam Ten's "Just Kidding" (layering Shawnee Taylor's "Live Your Life" vocals over), N2N's new track "Naked," Vinter's "Space Pump," BLOND:ISH's new "Don't Cha" remix from The Pussycat Dolls, and my friend Simon Harrison's new original "Find Me On The Dance Floor" (also with a special acapella layered over!)

I hope you enjoy this set... please repost, share, and say something in the comments if you do!

Part 2 of my 5-1/2 set at BUNKER in DC on July 12th, 2025, is ready for your listening pleasure!

This set seriously went off - mama was laying all sorts of acapellas and sick tracks all over each other all night long.. the second half kicks off with Stephen and I's remix of “Get Your Flowers” for Sapphira Cristal…later on, the last 75-minutes of the night goes completely off the hook! I could not have asked for a better crowd this night, so thank you again to the BUNKER team. I hope you enjoy this high-energy ride!

I'm cutting back on gigs until the end of the year, but here's where you can catch me:

- Aug 25th - Black Rock City, Fruit Pop (7:15 & Dick), 8-10pm
- Sept 6th - BRÜT, Portland
- Sept. 13th - STRUT, Orange County
- Sept. 19th - CHILL BAR, Palm Springs
- Oct 11th - Demon Circuit, The Cuff, Seattle
- Nov 7th - BRÜT, Hotel Zoso, Palm Springs Pride

It's been a hot boy summer and there was certainly no exception last month at BUNKER in DC for its BURNING UP Disco Party! I always love playing for my friends at BUNKER and I had so much fun putting this set together - I think there are at least 5 different tracks in here sampling "Love Sensation"! (so see if you can find 'em all!.... plus, there's "Burning Up" tracks from Cevin Fisher, Kylie Minogue... if that burning sensation is involved, you're gonna hear it here!)... this set is a 5-1/2 journey, with things moving from warm-up into high-energy party mode at around the 75-min mark. The "hot stuff" from Part 2 will be coming next week!

"I want to show you what I'm capable of..." - Camisra

This night demonstrates a very different side of me... it's pretty rare that I play a peak hour tech house set and I'm thrilled with how this one turned out. You're either gonna think it's the best set I've ever played... or just feel that it's not what you expected from me. Either way... I'm super proud of it. Put it on at the afties (lock the doors, lower the blinds, fire up the smoke machine... you know the drill!)...and go to work.

Despite the thunderstorm at the start of the night, the crowd in Provincetown turned out strong on the night before the 4th of July. A major thanks to Steve Azar, Mike Akerman, and Matt Acevedo for taking such good care of me and welcoming me to Gifford House & Purgatory for the first time! Chris Cruse was a hard act to follow from the night before, but I hope I did the town proper.

For those who read my long-winded captions to the end, thank you for indulging me. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this set in the comments.

Get ready for Part 2 of my set from The Cuff on June 29th at Seattle Pride. This is the back half of my closing set on Sunday night with the most wonderful crowd a DJ could ask for. I pulled out my remix of "Brave" by Sara Bareilles, which I haven't played in 8 years. And I took a bit of a risk by ending the night with the full 1998 Extended Pride Remix by Junior Vasquez of Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors" - this remix has meant so much to me over the years, but I've never played it live. With Cyndi's farewell tour happening this summer, it felt like the right moment. 

The remix starts out high energy before slowing down tempo and dropping into the original song, before building back up again to its crazed crescendo... it gives folks that romantic moment at the end of the night to slow dance and reflect on what Pride might mean to them. It's a moment that always resonated powerfully with me when I heard this track on many NYC Pride weekends and I wanted to share this moment - a part of Junior's legacy (the set also features his "Rocketman" Arena anthem) - with a new generation.  And then, of course, the set ends with the ending track of all ending tracks... as the last dance of the night. 

Next up... my full set from Purgatory at Gifford House in Provincetown on July 3rd!

It's been a whirlwind past few weeks and I'm finally getting around to posting some of my sets! Things kicked off for me back on June 29th at The Cuff for Seattle Pride. I played the closing set on Sunday night and the crowd could not have been more amazing! Thank you so much to the amazing Cuff staff (especially Alfonso Tan, who organized all of this year's incredible talent!), as well as all of the other incredible DJs on this year's lineup. It's always the biggest honor to play in my home town, especially on Pride weekend. 

Soon to come... Part 2 of my Seattle Pride set... followed by my sets at Purgatory in Provincetown on July 3rd and at BUNKER in DC on July 12th!

Please enjoy Part 2 from my set at The Cuff Complex in Seattle on May 17th, 2k25! This is the high-energy peak hour half of the night. I'll be back at The Cuff playing the closing set for Seattle Pride on Sunday, June 29th, and I couldn't be more excited for the night!!!
