I Like It Dirty, Episode 27: My sunset set from atop the Dusty Rhino at Burning Man Decompression in San Francisco from October 19, 2013. Since I first started DJing, I've dreamed about playing a set for thousands of smiling, beautiful burners as the sun goes down at Burning Man Decompression. This year, that dream came true! This set starts with some deep tribal awesomeness before breaking down into booty-shaking breakbeat love! Tracklist: 1) Zooloo (Pleasurekraft Remix) - Miles Dyson, Aaren Sa...

I Like It Dirty, Episode 26: It was an honor to play with my friends at Pink Mammoth - the beacons of happy house in San Francisco, Burning Man and beyond - for their Halloween bash at Mighty in San Francisco.

I Like It Dirty, Episode 25: A friendly warning, this dirty and bouncy breaks mix will cause spontaneous and, at times, involuntary dance parties to break out whenever and wherever played. Please listen with caution. Better yet, don't! This mix was originally published on the Space Cowboys Ripecast in September 2013.

I Like It Dirty, Episode 24: This building breaks experience is inspired by two recent dirty, bouncy sets. The first was at the Vitamin B Party with Marten Horger at the last party ever at the House of Yes in Brooklyn. The dancefloor was electric as my set peaked until NYPD came in to end the fun. RIP House of Yes - it was an honor to send you off. The second was my disgustingly fun set on Thursday Night on Charlie the Unicorn at Burning Man 2013. Fire, Unicorns, Dust, Sexiness, Pink, the Bleach...

I Like It Dirty, Episode 23: My daytime deep house set from the Distrikt Revel Block Party at Public Works on April 7th, 2013. Not a year has gone by since Distrikt first welcomed the thirsty, dancing masses that I have not stood on that platform in the desert, smiling vastly, thankful to be alive...to be exactly there...to be in the company of the world's best people at the year's best party. The sky softens to pink, dust rises from happy feet and the sounds of Distrikt vibrate our collective s...

Such an honor to play SF Pride! I feel so damn luck to live in a city that respects love and being our freaky, fun, whole selves. Big love to love and everyone swimming in it...men, women, children, moneys, goldfish, unicorns, butterflies and their best friends. Here are some prideful, sunny, happy, lovey, celebratory beats from atop Dusty Rhino. I had the pleasure to tagteam the Parade with some great DJ friends. This is a post-party recording of my tracks compiled into a single mix. For all th...

Music and travel have always sat closely in my soul. The openness of travel - connecting with new people, getting absorbed in new culture, living deeply in the moment - has sealed strong emotional ties with the soundtracks that cloaked my journeys. (see below for some of my place-sound connections). Visiting China and Shanghai for the first time, it was a pleasure to not only observe all the newness with a private score but to be able to create a musical experience for a party full of welcoming,...

This filthy house and breaks set sparked a fun and beautifully bouncy crowd at the Dusty Nutz party at the King King in Hollywood. Love you La La Land and The Nutz Crew! I'll be playing at Distrikt Revel on Saturday, April 27th in San Francisco and Kee Club in Shanghai on May 10th. Both promise to be parties not to be missed.

My dirty breaks set from the Dusty Rhino Thanksgiving Underground. Hidden away in a warehouse in San Francisco's SOMA district, 500 animal-clad dirty music lovers joined the Dusty Rhino and our 50 foot laser-shooting Giraffe in what may have been the best Thanksgiving Party EVER. The dancefloor was absolutely wild for the first 50 minutes of this set before slipping into a sensual and dreamy consummation. Thanks to the Dusty Rhino Crew for its commitment to throwing unique and epic parties and a...

ROAR! So much love to everyone who made last night's Rhino Roar and the After Roar an epic marathon dancefest. When the sun rose this morning with a warehouse of full smiling beautiful people, I felt very thankful to be in this city, with all of you lovers of life and music. This set is a story, starting with a slow build of anticipation and longing before an escalating series of teasing builds and dirty delicious drops. I want to thank The Do Lab and all of the artists at Lightning in a Bottle ...

There really is nothing like a good day party in San Francisco! I had the pleasure of playing in blissful weather in Dolores Park yesterday - the cultural (counter cultural?) center of SF on a sunny day. (For those not familiar, imagine all of the lovely people and freaks that you've ever seen, multiplied by San Francisco's love of eccentricity, packed into one sunny, city block). It also happens to be three blocks from home. It's special to walk out my door with music and headphones in hand, st...

I am ever fascinated and inspired by the link between music and emotion. It is a thread that runs through our lives connecting us to past selves while simultaneously rooting us deeply in the now. Music is memory. Music is hope. Music is love. Music is passion. Music is peace. This music is a butterfly kiss. Mit Liebe Gemacht. 1 Little Lion Man (feat.

Thanks to everyone for coming out last night for 'Me So Horny, a Dusty Rhino Fundraiser.' WOW that was good and dirty! A special thanks to Monarch for hosting, all the DJs (Icon, Zach Moore, Clarkie, Alvaro Bravo, DJMK), the whole Dusty Rhino Crew for a horn-filled night. I woke up this morning with a big smile on my face, legs aching and a twinge of disappointed that I did not set up the recorder to capture the magic. Instead of dwelling in regret (not my style), I recorded my set from last nig...

So much love to the Dusty Rhino Art Car for all of the beats on playa and beyond. Some of my favorite dancing memories of the year have come at the foot of this beast including epic San Francisco day parties at Decompression and How Weird. WHOMP! I was honored to be invited to drop my dirty beats on her late night this Burning Man. Enjoy this electro breaks set that had the dust rising high into the desert sky. My apologies for being so slow on posting...here's hoping this will take you back. 1 ...

Wow! Last night's Aurora in White underground boat party was hands down the best party of the season. Tucked in the back of a pier in the San Francisco Bay, the old cruise ship, its passengers glowing white, got dirty until well after the sun shone over the Bay Bridge. This set is full of some of my favorite dirty electo and breaks tracks from the past year. It literally had the ship swaying. Get dirty!

It's that time of year again. A dusty pilgrimage. Wide-eyed contact with smiling strangers. A distant horizon. Getting lost. Being found. For this year's trip to the desert, I have put together Crossroads, an ode to the journey, a companion for the road. It is the intersection of doubt (in the face of choice) and hope (that all roads lead home). For all of you who have been building imaginary walls and want to burn them to the ground - Crossroads is for you. Follow me at https://www.facebook.com...

It was late. Very late. A party, almost ended, was resurrected by circles of fire and flesh in one of the sexiest performances I have ever had the pleasure to witness. I reached into my CD case for the sexiest, dirtiest beats I could find...and what I found was dubstep. Dubstep? Really, you ask? Yes, dubstep. I have slowly evolved from a dubstep hater into a dubstep explorer over the past year. There is a growing sliver of dubstep that is not angry "I hate my parents" noise but is dirty, sexy an...
