I rarely get a chance to stretch my after-hours musical muscles. I’ve probably played about 10 GUAPO PV events in Puerto Vallarta over the past 5 years but haven’t yet posted one of my sets from here in Mexico. This one, however, felt special. (full disclosure: last year’s NYE set didn’t record due to a technical glitch)… but this set is me at my best… I am very proud of it. 

I put a lot of thought into all of my sets, especially for the JUICY and DEEP parties I’ve played in PV the last two years and I’m so excited to share this 3 hr+ one with the world. It’s mostly a tech house set and the energy I got from the crowd all night was unparalleled. I saw so many wonderful friends out there all night as I looked around. 

If there was a main theme for the night’s journey, it was my trademark sound of going “a little bit old school”... l always love sharing classics with the younger generation. You’ll hear tracks (some, the originals… others, updates) like David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” and Danny Tenaglia’s “Elements” (both in my Intro), Honey Dijon’s update of Kevin Aviance’s “Cunty,” Technotronic’s “Pump Up The Jam,” Alesso’s new update on “Owner Of A Lonely Heart” by Yes, Size 9’s “I Am Ready,” my PV update that I’ve played the past few years of Sweet Pussy Pauline’s “Work This Pussy,” Butch’s “No Worries,” Submission’s “Women Beat Their Men,” Basement Jaxx’s “Fly Life,” two versions mixed of Shakedown’s “At Night,” Peter Rauhofer’s classic “Miracle Mix” of Mariah’s “We Belong Together,” (a remix I only save for very special occasions) - samples of Aretha, Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliott, Alanis Morissette, Natasha Bedingfield, Vicki Sue Robinson, Kiss - and two songs from The Beatles (I’ll let “which two” be a surprise as you listen). There are more classics sprinkled throughout, as well as 5 or 6 of my own remixes or private edits.

Another theme on this journey was “loneliness” - a feeling I battled hard in 2024, as so many of us have - and that many DJ friends struggle with. It's especially in the zeitgeist with the new Avicii documentary, "I'm Tim," that just came out on Netflix. This set is a reminder that music can always be there to carry us through and that none of us is ever truly alone.

As the sun was rising from 7:30-8am, I switched gears to deliver a little magic for everyone who stayed ‘til the end. I ended my set (well, the 2nd to last song) with a new little edit I whipped up over the past two weeks of “Defying Gravity.” (which I’m still tinkering around with)... and the crowd reaction truly was everything I’d hoped for in that morning moment. 

Thank you to the entire GUAPO PV team for having me back again. Thank you to DJ Autogyro for starting the night with an amazing opening set. I hope everyone has a chance to enjoy this set for years to come. Please share it on social or leave a Comment if you do. 

I took the second half of 2024 off from DJing, (due to other life commitments) But I’m coming back strong in 2025. I’m now working with Javier Simons at Koq Agency for bookings. https://koqagency.com/ … and here’s where you can hear me in the coming months!
