Episode 279 Welcome back Nurse Ratchet! We have a live recording form “the night shift” out cafe dance party series at Funk it.

Here’s a short interview with our featured artist.

How long have you been DJing? 

Since 2017 I think!

Why did you get into it?

I like to party and listen to good tunes while I do it.

What events have you played?

I started playing at house parties then was invited to play at Monk’s with Chaddabox & Friends. In 2019 a group of close friends and I decided to throw our own mini festival and we named it Grease Camp 2012. We have hosted our Fest 5 times since it began. Grease Camp was invited to play and eventually host a stage at Forest Creatures in 2023(?). Most recently i played at Funkit Coffee in Missoula and it was such a fantastic event!

Where do you live (generally)? 

Missoula, MT.

Where are you from originally?

Flagstaff, AZ.

What inspires you to DJ? 

I really enjoy the ability to create a mood or vibe in a room or campsite full of people. Seeing people dance and smile during my sets is the best feeling.

What genres are in your mix? 

Tech House, Bass House and Minimal Tech

Can you tell us a bit about your mix?

I was testing out some new genres with this one. I think it’s perfect to play at your next house party.

Starlight Thursdays Episode 278 featuring FOUTS

This is a deep house set that I designed for a 4 - 6 am sunrise set at this year’s Crazy Mountain Carnival. This is not the set I ended up playing at that event (check your USBs, kids!), but I learned so much that morning: how to graciously face challenges while on stage, how to vibe where you are planted, and how to fall back into celebration with community as a form of catharsis. Thank you to everyone for your continual love and support––what we are building together is truly something special <3

Starlight Thursdays Episode 274, DJ Philly Fresh is back with another fire mix UKG style.

“Garage music is one of my favorite genres to spin. It's just a delightful sandbox for Djs. There aren't that many other genres where the music is so ripe for opportunities to do lots of fun tricks but still complex enough to stand alone. Some genres feel either more like the canvas or the painting. UKG feels more like a thriftstore painting begging to be drawn on. I love that shit. Garage bangs."

Pandaura is my go to person when I need a DJ buddy. I can always count on him to hold the floor and elevate a space with his positive and welcoming aura. His humble and grounded approach to mixing serves as a solid foundation to his impeccable music selections, artistry, and craft-mastery.

Starlight Thursdays Episode 271 Featuring BK Love, Recorded live at the Top Hat.

It’s always such a pleasure to perform at this legendary venue. As of late my music selection brings us closer to the equator but maintains a trip around the world with tracks from so many nations and cultures under one roof. I recently discovered a genre called “Reggae House”. With my deep appreciation of all things Jamaican i was instantly hooked and listened to hundreds of tracks overnight. I chose a handful of my favorites and blended them in with my traditional selection as an homage to the originators of sound system culture that inspired what became the electronic dance music scene today. The music was received well as the room quickly grew into a dance party full of funky movement and energetic cheers. I live for these moments.

MumbleBee mixes live for Morning Blend, hosted by Funk It Coffee and Thrift!

We couldn't be more proud of our little DJ from Kalamazoo, who has been gracing the Missoula underground with a fresh and vibey injection of character and style since 2021. - Starlight Reunion

Another cup of vibrant and bold selections, with undertones of honey and sunlight - lightly roasted - sure to put a skip in your step, or a dream in your day. :3 - MumbleBee
