WOW! Lightning in a Bottle did not disappoint! I heard so much great music that week - mostly at the Woogie stage where I was working. I was BLESSED to play a surprise stage open set too, dream come true on the insane Funktion One sound system. I played 80s and 90s hip hop like my last podcast episode, and some gangster rap like the Rat Trap mix from last summer. The Woogie stage has definitely THE place to be at LIB! Amazing amounts of sick house, garage, and disco all week long. I was so inspired. I had so many tracks to trainspot. That took me down a rabbit hole of new music after the event - so this mix is up two weeks late. TOTALLY WORTH IT!!! Check out the years these tracks were released - usually I am dropping old tracks (because I love them), not so much this time...

Hopping in to a new genre here for DJing - one that I was in to when I was like 5 years old for dancing. Something about these beats just made me want to jam on the floor!!! This set is representing what I was playing at Neotropolis at the Rat Trap bar. Neo is a future - cyberpunk - space vibe event, so I thought to go with some Afro-Futurism energy with a lot of the music I was playing. I played plenty of the popular hits at the event but I tried to go a bit thin on them for the podcast mix. You will hear a lot of beats that are familiar but they are in different songs. I didn't want to make a throwback set! With these beats I'm trying to keep it FRESH!!!

I performed two contemporary dance acts in the Zirco Loco circus show this March, and DJ'd the afterparty from midnight to 2 am. This episode is the first half-ish of my set! I played a lot of tracks I heard out here in the Mojave Desert for the first time over the last couple years, and plenty of other stuff too. This flavor of house music has really been exciting to hear out here when I am on the dancefloor, so I gave a lot of it back to the people that night : )

Enjoy!!!
