GAIA: Animus

Four summers ago, I created a world music influenced mix called GAIA: Songs of the Earth. Here is the followup. It's a little more rough around the edges, being inspired by tribal dance and ecstatic trance. Like an exhibitory state of heightened awareness, it builds in energy to a frenzy before being unleashed into the cosmos, to finally return, altered somehow. Apropos of my current personal journey, I hope you can delight in it too. Great for shaking off the dust (maybe while cleaning?), letting loose and dancing like no one is watching.

GAIA: Songs of the Earth


Hello All. Well, summer has finally wound down, and yet it's not quite fall. We find ourselves between the worlds, reflecting as the year begins to wane. With all the internal movement happening with me lately, it's the perfect moment to finally release this mix I made a number of years ago, a blend of world/dance music to reach the soul. The brand new followup will be released at the end of the week, but let's start from the beginning. I hold this collection very dear to my heart, and it will get you moving toward your own inner self.  Namaste!

A Midsummer's Daydream

In the summertime when the weather is high, you can stretch right up and touch the sky. Yes folks, after years of waiting it's finally here, the followup to Lazy Days of Summer.  As the dog days begin to wind down, we still have time to soak up every last drop of hazy sunshine and sweet tea lemonade.  It's still summertime, and the livin's easy.  Grab a cool drink, find a nice shade tree for the afternoon, and drift off on this bit of good ole' fashioned nostalgia.  What a day for a daydream!

Lime in the Coconut

Hot of the press!  Straight from the streets of Kingston via NYC, I bring you Lime in the Coconut, the third installment of my island jam series (see Underneath Palm Trees and The Banana Boat).  Make no mistake, this is no hammock reggae mix, although some of it is.  Get ready to feel alive and crank up the heat for your beach days and cabana nights.  Get get get in LIME and settle down before you drop it low.

Hot Fun and More of It

Well, well, well, it's finally here, the first new mix of Summer 2012!  It's taken me a while, as this is a sequel to Hot Fun in the Summertime and I wanted to recapture the magic and do the original justice.  With some sunshine, sweat and a few cocktails, this baby has finally made it's way to you.  Feel free to enjoy by the pool, on the roof or in your car with the windows down.  It's hot out, have some fun!

Underneath Palm Trees

Again, taking it back to 2006.  This is the first in a series of urban/island jams custom made for lounging on the beach or struttin' your swagger through the hot asphalt streets.  This one turns up the temperature, so get ready to sweat and go for a little ride around the way.

Hot Fun in the Summertime

Hello kids!  By now summer is in full swing, and I know you're just sitting around wondering where the hell is the Petropolis mix?!  Never fear, I've been busy cooking up some sizzling sequels this year, but first let me take you back to 2006.  This mix remains one of my standards of sunshine bliss, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I still do.  See you by the pool!

Hello darlings.  Are you tired from a long day?  Ready to pamper yourself and relax?  Or perhaps you are sipping on a cocktail and getting yourself gussied up for a lovely night out.  Or maybe you are ready for your bubble bath with wine and bon bons.  Whatever your desire, let Petropolis take you away on a heavenly cloud of leisure.  Ooh la la,  C'est bon!
