Seduction was the last event I played out at before the lockdown. Thought it might be an appropriate time to post it since my first gig since then is this 4th of July weekend (Join us! https://www.facebook.com/events/2747126065577495 ).
Was a really fun night (and one of the last) shows at the old IowaTechno Warehouse. Soooo much fun!

Part one of my most recent studio mix. It was completely inspired by and designed for my 11 week old son Julian. Without a doubt, it is his favorite piece of music to fall asleep to. A mix loaded with dreamy melodies, nostalgic quirks, and hypnotic undertones...I highly recommend using this as a tool to guide you into your slumber. Goodnight ;)

With less than a month until the 10th anniversary of Mission:Beat (Mission Creek Festival's underground dance music showcase), I've dug deep into the archive to share my closing set from Mission:Beat in 2012! To this day, I still look back on this event as one of the best events I've ever thrown. A truly unforgettable night with pounding sound, next level lighting, all taking place in one of Iowa City's oldest standing structures, the Old Brick Church. An event that went way passed curfew, and the only recorded set of mine that is ultimately faded out at the end due to the manager of the venue coming in at 6am, irate that we were still going til the wee hours of the morning! Nothing like getting away with murder :) Enjoy and we'll see you April 5th at Wildwood for Mission:Beat's return to its all-night shenanigans!

My set from the Children of the Corn Stage @ Even Furthur 2018. I played at 11am, mixing out of my brotha from another motha, Jimmy Moksha. It was a weekend of intense emotion for me, and I had the time of my life. It was the first Even Furthur I've been to which was a huge check of my bucketlist. I put this set together the night before I played after soaking in the festival, paired with some deep deep introspection and reflection on life and the path had lead me to where I am in 2018. The morning is my absolute favorite time to play, and this set I put together was my best possible attempt to represent the emotions I was feeling and the journey dance music has taken me, well over the past decade. Enjoy :)

My opening set for Subverted Entertainment's monthly kickoff party @ the Black Box. Music was on point all night and was the perfect setting to pop my playing @ Black Box cherry :)

This was an insanely fun night in Des Moines, IA. Birthdays, reunions, and laughs galore! Shout out to my fellow djs of the evening Pete Lo, Mike Wlkr, and Kindig. Also shout out "MC" Seth Hansen and is little pitch bend cameo in the beginning of the mix lol! CRAAAAANK IT!
