  • Autumn Mix 2012
    Autumn is my favorite season! I love how beautiful and melancholy it is, as the sunlight hits lower and lower with each passing day, and the leaves on the trees burn brighter colors as everything DIES. 
    Musically, this is when my taste turns to pastoral IDM, gorgeous post-rock, and amber-hued electronica. I made this mix while living in Brooklyn; my first fall with our dog Tycho. I was inspired by our walks through Prospect Park.
    This is not a typical DJ mix, as there is very little beat-matching. Instead, I layered ambient textures in key, with very minimal effects to create a journey that flows together harmoniously.
    As soon as I finished it I put it on my headphones and went on an afternoon stroll through the park and listened through the whole thing. I recommend doing the same! Be prepared for introspection and tears LOL

  • Escapade (Summer 2012)
    The latest installment of my re-released seasonal mix series is Escapade, which was originally released as Summer Mix 2012. It was the second mix I ever made; created in Virtual DJ before I got my first controller
    Summer for me is all about enjoying the sunshine and hot weather with friends and some feel-good house and disco jams. I was heading out to Fire Island with some friends and I wanted a mix that we could listen to poolside during the day.
    The vibe here is very nu-disco/house in a tropical poolside paradise fantasyland, but also funky enough to dance to; serving up thick bouncy bass lines, sparkly arpeggios, island percussion, and dreamy pop vocals. ☀️🌴

    1. Joakim - Labyrinth (Lone Remix)

  • Ultraviolet (Spring Nights 2013)
    Originally released in June 2013 as Spring Nights 2013, I recorded this set on my laptop using Virtual DJ right before I got my first DJ controller. It was part of my Seasonal Mix Series as a nighttime counterpart to Spring 2012, which is now called Emerge. I wanted this mix to have the same springtime vibe as Emerge, but more geared for the dance floor.
    I fell in love with DJs and DJ culture in the mid to late 90s through Progressive House and then Trance around the turn of the millennium. Sasha & Digweed, BT, Nick Warren / Way Out West, Paul Oakenfold, Danny Tenaglia, Deep Dish, Underworld and Orbital are all reasons why I wanted to be a DJ.
    I went to school at Boston University, and lived behind the Citgo Sign just a short walk from Landsdowne St, the major club district. While friends of mine were going to frat parties and drinking, I was going out to see my favorite DJs play sets at megaclubs at the height of trance and progressive house.
    I wanted to make a mix that captured the same Spring vibe of energy and positivity, while also connecting the dots between some of my favorite older tracks from the 90s with more current (in 2013) progressive house sounds. The end result is a neon colored mix that oscillates between beautiful chill progressive house and ecstatic emotional bangers 🌺💥🌀
    Track List:
    1. Dream Forest Intro
    2. Orbital – Halcyon + On + On
    3. Ananda Project – Moment Before Dreaming (Sasha Involv3r Remix)
    4. Way Out West – We Love Machine (Jaytech Remix)
    5. Gossip – Heavy Cross (‪Fred Falke‬ Remix)
    6. Underworld – Peggy Sussed (‪Pete Heller‬ Vocal Mix)
    7. ‪Gui Boratto‬ – No Turning Back
    8. Blondes – Wine (Sasha Involv3r Remix)
    9. Way Out West – Tierra del Fuego (Paul Keeley 4th Movement Mix)
    10. Bt ft. ‪Tori Amos‬ – Blue Skies (The Delphinium Days Mix)/ Lusine – Make it Easy (‪John Tejada‬ Remix)

  • Psychonaut
    Psychonaut: An explorer of the inner universe inside of one's own mind.
    Psychonauts embark on inner voyages through meditation, music, drum circles, binaural beats, and psychoactive substances, such as LSD, MDMA, DMT, ketamine, psilocybin, peyote, or mescaline. The goal of the psychonaut is to learn about self and reality by transcending normal consciousness.
    “We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold.” - Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
    Enjoy!

  • Nina Kraviz - Skyscrapers (Jeff Dority Mmm Skyscrapers Satisfy Edit)
    I love this track Skyscrapers by Nina Kraviz! The original version is around 133 bpm and all the remixes took it up into 140 bpm techno territory. I really wanted a slower, deep house / tech house remix that kept the beautiful vocals intact. I wanted a version I could play out at gigs, so I created an edit myself. =)
    I used a track by Josh Butler called Satisfy for some of the underlying loops to flesh it out.
    This edit is also from my newest mix Psychonaut. Which you can listen to here:

  • Love Is Love: Jim & Matt's Wedding 9.18.21
    I recently had the huge honor of DJing my first ever wedding for two friends of mine; Jim & Matt! I traveled to Berkeley, California for a super fun weekend, and attended a beautiful ceremony held at a gorgeous countryside ranch in Point Reyes Station.
    Surrounded by the picaresque landscape, psychedelic art, and wonderful wedding attendees, I was asked to prepare a set of happy and fun disco house. As a DJ, I love picking music to fit the mood and vibe of the setting, and I wanted to create an unforgettable night of joyous music for the grooms for this momentous occasion. The vibe of the tracks I picked all feel joyous, and celebratory, with the theme of celebrating love, desire, and the spirit of disco.
    Given that it was a wedding, I assumed most people in attendance would want to hear recognizable tracks; and I got a lot of (very ON POINT) requests (Hence 100% Pure Love shows up twice lol). But I was surprised at how many people were more than willing to get on board with tracks that are not immediately recognizable radio hits. One of my favorite moments of a night that was filled with magic, was when the officiator of the wedding, a fierce and funny woman in her 90s, set down her wine glass so should could properly get down to Tensnake's Coma Cat on the dance floor.
    The set includes two drag numbers by the beautiful Zohara Platinum, as well as two funny and heartfelt wedding toasts by Richard and Carlisle.
    I had an absolute blast playing this wedding for Jim & Matt, and was so honored to be included in their special day! I hope you enjoy listening <3

  • Emerge (Spring 2012)
    Emerge is the first DJ mix I ever made! I put this mix together and recorded it back in the Spring of 2012, before I ever had any DJ equipment. I made this mix using Virtual DJ on my laptop. I was experimenting with different ways I could put tracks together without necessarily beat-matching. As such, about a third of this mix I put together as a mixtape where the tracks just flow seamlessly into one another.
    The music I listen to changes with the seasons, so I had the idea that I would teach myself how to DJ by making a series of seasonal mixes that would reflect how my taste in music evolves over the course of the year to coincide with the weather.
    Spring to me sounds hopeful. It's full of life, and energy. I picked tracks that sound bright, colorful, and bursting with energy; like seeds exploding and growing into flowers. I wanted this mix to capture the feeling of fresh renewal; new life, new energy, cells multiplying, organisms growing, flowers opening into the sun... 🌷💐🌼🌸
    The mixing here is definitely rough around the edges, but I still love it, and am very proud of it. I look back at the track list, and some of the tracks I put side by side and think of how fearless I was as a baby DJ mashing up wildly different styles, tempos, genres and just putting together a mix purely based on a vibe and concept I had in my head. I had just read a book called How To DJ Right, so I new the 'rules' on how (and how not) to put tracks together. I followed some, others I threw out the window. hope you enjoy it. =)
    Tracklist:
    1. Ott – One Day I Wish To Have This Kind of Time

    "Tonight when the lights are going down
    I will surrender to the sound
    And look at all the kids around
    Tonight the sound is breaking like a wave
    Wish it could always feel this way
    And life will never be the same...
    This could be my life
    This could save my life
    I can hardly wait..."
    - Saint Etienne, "Tonight"
    If I had only known back then, where this path would take me... 😍
