I've always love DJing at SnowFest and this year was no different. I prepared to go into the day party playing a house based set and after Kapt N Kirk had whipped them in the frenzy I realized I was going to set aside most of what I prepared and improvise. It's a little sloppy at times I admit but I and everybody there was having a blast I hope you enjoy too.

One of my favorite gigs of all time! I discovered Breakfast of Champions in early 2000s and it had been on my wish list of events to play ever since. Having attended many times, I always found it to be such an amazing convergence of people, sounds and vibes. Actually playing it was everything I'd hoped it would be and then some. Placed in the middle of an amazing line up and having so much respect for the Space Cowboys crew, I was honestly a bit intimidated at the thought, but the energy from when I arrived and throughout my set/rest of the event had me loving every minute. Thanks to everyone involved and all that support, long live BOC!
