The Invocation

Ever heard of invoking the spirit? Well the spirit of fall is upon us, and there's no going back. The light wanes, the leaves die, and we turn our attention inward. As we brace ourselves for the coming cold, we take time to now to embrace the dark. This year's fall mix completely changed directions on me, following a magickal day spent in the woods. This is smoke and embers, mystery and incantations, and the wild hunt. Now is the time, now is the hour. This is the way, step inside...

Midnight at the Starlite

Are you lonesome tonight? Well pull up a barstool, order a round of shots and load up the jukebox. This collection emerged from the ether somewhere between 2002-2005 and is directly inspired by the great David Lynch. Blending rockabilly and 50s/60s ditties, the result is a dark, whiskey fueled creep-out, a real humdinger that seems perfect to kick off the fall season. Whether alone in the corner of the bar or preparing for a night of hell raising, this mix will get its red right hand tight around your black heart.

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!

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.

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!
