You are not morning.
You are late afternoon. And that's why
beings love you.

You are the warmth of a thing past its peak,
the growing fuzz of possibilities for transformation
from the light's late gaze into something
less clear.

You are a meadow caught by a sudden
dazzle of solar photons, lazy
and majestic.

You don't hold promises,
or negotiate means of keeping them.

You are the scuppered sound of a rower's oars
kissing the tops of the waves
as they...

My summer 2018 house music podcast for the illustrius Flammable Seattle crew. Many thanks and much love to Wesley Holmes & Flammable, Erin O'Conner-Drew, Moodymanc, Jenö, Kadeejah Streets, and Chris Howarth for support and inspirations. In memory of Maya Angelou, Loleatta Holloway, and Aretha Franklin.

Psychedlic Love Affair: Discoherence

Discoherence: phenomena seemingly going out of phase so they can come into greater alignment later. Repeat and stir, ad infinitum. This was initially a fall mix--about the psychedelic beauty of decay--but it slowly became a solstice/new years coming-of-the-light endeavor. So I imagine decay prefacing greater order, and a coming back into light. For all of us. (Yes, that's a little north hemisphere-centric. You'll get yours soon enough!)

Mad love and thanks to (and tracks occasionally shamelessly sourced): Mira, Gingko & Andy Warren, Kinjo & Miles Mercer, Jëno, Chase Cuntersson, and Colisciousbou; and A...

spaceotter live on BAAAHS (Big Ass Amazing Awesome Homosexual Sheep artcar), Friday night at Burning Man 2017.

I played that night with Bezier (Honey Soundsystem), Rebolledo (Mayan Warrior), La Fraicheur (Bottom Forty/Leonizer, Berlin), and Nark (Bottom Forty, Seattle). It was quite the evening.

My fairly infamous, genre-spanning set at Electric Tea Garden for Proper, 2-2-13.

Coeffulgence: shining in radiant splendor, together. Born of the idea that our centers are connected, and that all beings co-evolve, despite surface seeming. See also: Immanence, radiance, interconnection.

Psychedelic Love Affair: a sensual, erotic, musical, psychedelic broadsides against the state of despair. A series of mixes and future parties, where you can dance, touch, undress, massage, make out, make love and basically do what you erotically want to, while suffused with psychedelic music. #mostlywarmweird

Thanks to Ben/Konifer and Lisa/ELLEM, Mark Lippert, Hanssen, Jenö, and Miles Mercer & Kinjo of Grounded...as well as ALWAYS to E...

Live at the Seattle Erotic Art Festival Pride Afterparty at Fremont Studios, 6-22-12. Opening for the glorious Pezzner.

My intention for this mix was to create a psychedelic battering ram to the current state of horror and despair. A way of break through to a better Spring.

* Thanks to visual collaborator Brian Akey for the incredible graphics! Instagram: bakey_graphics
* Love to the Radical Faeries who inspired so much, including the concept of the Psychedelic Love Affair--imagined as a party where you can dance, make out, relax, fuck, do yoga, sleep, massage, eat, thrive, live, exult, empty out, fill up again...all to gorgeous melodic music on the psychedelic edge of house and techno. #WarmWeirdMostly.<...

Live set from the WORK! One Year Anniversary, 11-20-15 at the Seattle Monkey Loft. I gave myself the creative constraint that every song I included had to include the word "WORK" since it was the 1-year anniversary of the party, and try to string it together in a way that...well...WORKED.
