Gili, You're a (Good) Bad Ass
I've never had more fun creating or performing a set. At the end of 2024, I met a new friend and mentor, Gili, down in Costa Rica. Gili connected me with a community in Denver, which ultimately spurred me to move here. We've since spent time together in both places, sharing many sexy, joyous,...

Love Spelled L-O-S-S
In order to go somewhere new, you have to leave somewhere—and sometimes someone—behind. Even in our language, “going” could describe an arrival or departure. I've been reflecting on this irony. To "go" implies a "goodbye.” Heck, there's even a "go" in "goodbye!" I recently moved to Denver. There...

Doctors Without Boundaries
Booking inquiries 👉 https://instagram.com/avand.fm Burning Man has been one of the most transformational experiences I’ve had. I’ve been 6 times now and, while I don’t get every year, it will always have a special place in my heart. There’s no place for art to flourish like the empty expanse of...

Siren Scream
It feels so fucking good to be welcomed into a new community with open arms. This past weekend that happened for me, not once but twice. Having just moved to Denver, I was connected to a group of wonderfully creative, high-integrity people that have been throwing an annual Halloween party. My...

Outside Outside Lands '25
Two years ago, a chapter closed. I was packing up and moving out of SF, when I paused to look at what was packed and realized, “I have everything I need to throw a renegade party!” This was 1 week before Outside Lands, 2023. So I called up my best bud and festival fam, Rob, and we plotted a spot…

Strawberry Moon
Last weekend, I traveled out to Scottsdale for a Temple Night hosted by some friends I've met in my travels and personal work. I was invited to help with music throughout the ceremony and DJ after the ceremony portion of the evening closed, which was fun and also a bit distracting because a big...

Denver Sun
Posted up at Cesar Chavez Park in Denver with my closest friends and many new friends too. We came in like a Navy Seal Crew: dropped a table, my FLX4, laptop, a couple Soundboks Go's, and a bunch of wine and snacks. Cleaned up just as quick too. Surgical. The weather held. The sun shone through…

Stupid Friends
When I was a kid, my mom was militant about me practicing piano. Sometimes she would insist I practice up to 4 hours per day. Of course, I was defiant. I put my Calvin & Hobbes comics behind my sheet music one page a time. "it built character," in the words of Calvin's father. And yet, those 10...

Sunrise @ GiliFest
My winter travels began in Costa Rica and then took me to Tulum and Medellin. After three months away from home, the desire to be back in my bed and my space with my community is strong. But when a dear friend invites you to his beautiful property/community for his 55th birthday to DJ sunrise…

Paradise Point Temple Night
What is a temple? A place of worship? A place of prayer? A place of pleasure? New to me? Yes! I came down to Costa Rica a couple weeks ago to participate in a personal development retreat with a focus on somatic healing. It's been a deep dive into spiritual and mystical realms, sensuality,...

That Disco Wedding
You can pretend to care. But you can't pretend to be there.

Moments Of Orange
When my buddy said he's converting a pizza restaurant into a night club, my ears perked up. I like both of those things. So, after weeks of install, setup, programming, and testing—truly a labor of love—we broke it in with a party to celebrate January birthdays (including mine!). Thank you Atlas...

Three Of Cups
When this card appears in your tarot spread, it's time to celebrate! Three of Cups signifies coming together and coming alive with your community and creative collaborators. This event, hosted at the very special St. Joseph’s Art Society in San Francisco, marked the end of a busy harvest season...

Burning Man 2021: Sunset at Camp Granada
As the sun set hazily over the NV mountains, I brought beats to Camp Granada for our daily happy hour. I built up my 2006 Jeep Wrangler into a mobile sound system with two JBL SRX 835P speakers. The system sounded great and it was a treat to play out on the playa. This mix attracted some…
