This genre-bending downtempo set was inspired by my first journey to San Francisco. Chock full of tunes from Bay area artists and balanced out with some oldie-but-goodies, this mix was a headphone soundtrack for my big-city explorations.

Tucked in an alley off Broadway and 23rd Street in Oakland, California, Drake’s Dealership is a grand open-air beer garden and top-notch restaurant featuring fire pits and Adirondack seating. I was lucky enough to be invited to spin an eclectic set of rare grooves, acid jazz and soulful downtempo house to add to the chill vibes on Saturday, June 24th, 2017.

This little chunk of Liquid Funk goodness was my Bassdrive debut back in December 2008. As a rare all-vinyl set, this one covers a wide timeline to get its point across. Smile-inducing drum and bass at its best!

This was my WMC 2008 drum and bass mix, and it made the rounds as a 100 unit limited release cd. This mix really nails what I've been feeling for the past few years... liquid funk at it's finest. And yes, that is me on the cover, circa 1975!

This mix was an attempt to express the grief and loneliness of losing a loved one while
being half a world away from my soulmate. Part melancholy, part hopeful, it provided me
with a sonic space to escape into during a difficult time in my life.

Studio Mix

Street-level nightlife streaming up through the single-glazed window... a leaky tap reverberating off tile from the bath... tireless hands marching around the clock face uninterrupted... the steady electrical drone of ancient white goods... the nocturnal movements of a feline friend... fast-fading dreams fueled by delirium... the cold first light of day.
