Still working on putting “producer” into the whole “dj/producer” thing for myself, so my 2nd track, “One For The Road +1” is out now
As much as I’d like to put out tracks on a more regular basis, I really want to make sure i have something to say if I’m saying something. Smoke a cigarette, go for a long walk, and gaze longingly into the horizon to get the full intended effect of this track. Or dance to it. That’s good too
Thank you x1000 to everyone who lent an ear to this while i was making it and thank you x100000 to @13kanyon13 for mastering it
Check it out on Bandcamp, Nina Protocol, and SoundCloud
💜
First round of shows in NYC coming up very soon! Kicking off 3 weekends in a row with a stellar lineup at Bossa with @lifesavers_nyc on Friday, 3/20
One day I’ll have the words for what wild journey this move has been so far but for now just now a lot of #Emotions will come out in the booth and on the floor #💯 Hope to see you there #yerrrrrr
It’s time to put the “producer” into this whole “dj/producer” thing 😤 my first original track, “Great Lake +1” is up jow on Bandcamp and Soundcloud. Enjoy 🕺🏽
This track is inspired by a trip I took to Chicago back in September of 2023. I figured that “Great Lake” is a better title than “Lake Michigan”. We’ll save that one for later
Thanks for the support and feedback! stay tuned for more
And thank you @muddyoush for mastering this
Video and cover by yours truly
Fact: A 6 hour b2b is the most intimate activity two people can do together. Thanks for coming to Jade on Friday and picking up what we were putting down 🫂 so much fun! A recording of the first 3 hours of the set is up now
Next up is Public Records with some absolute heroes! So excited for Minneapolis and NYC to connect in this way. I’ll be on from 2-4 closing out the atrium. Come early and stay late 🛸💜
Also my mix for @nosignalnyc is out now. Give them a follow and go to their events #ItsGoodForYou

Full recording of last Friday’s set at Bossa up now ! Bring your thumb/index finger ——> this way on the post for the full track list
The goal for this set (and in general) was to synthesize techno and its children into one big beautiful blob. I’ve spent a lot of time digging and practicing these past 6 months, so i wanted to bring in new tracks while bringing moments from other mixes I’ve made into a new context
Come to Jade this Friday and Public Records next Friday to get the IRL version 🫡

My mix for @lifesavers_nyc ’s residency on @noodsradio is up now on SoundCloud and their website 🧙🏾♂️
The prompt for this mix was “music that saved your life.” When i really thought about that the only direction that made sense was to do a mix only with music by someone whose music i can turn to for joy, inspiration, catharsis, humor, etc. Squarepusher’s music helps me remember that music is FUN and worth the practice and grind it can feel like sometimes. I hope this mix gives you a little life, too
Shoutout to @lifesavers_nyc ! Shows and stuff in NYC coming soon #trust
Back in April I opened for @zackfox ’s stop at First Avenue in Minneapolis and we ended up going B2B to wrap up the night. A recording of my practice sesh for the opening set is up now on SoundCloud !
Thanks for coming and dancing and major thanks to Zack for what he’s doing to spread the history of dance music’s roots and support young artists 🫡🫡 I had about two days’ notice that I was on to open, so I recorded myself trying out some of the transitions the day before. My goal for the set was to combine the best parts of sets I did earlier in the year with some new finds and dot-connecting moments for the crowd
I didnt record the actual set, but you can still enjoy that recording which is now up on SoundCloud. It’s not perfect (that’s what practice is for) but all the fumbles get fixed (and that’s what it’s all about)
Thanks to all the dancers and listeners this year. Grateful for all of the experiences and people music has brought into my life and looking forward to more as the road to 10,000 hours continues
1st time playing in Chicago last month, so I had to play some DJ Rush and DJ Rashad there. It was only right 🙂↕️
Tracks are “I Believe” (Bruce Remix) - @majorrush , “Dance” - @yanamaste , “Acid Bit” - DJ Rashad (RIP🙏🏾)
Shoutout to @hiddenideas__ for the vid
Also shoutout to the person in front left for being locked in all night
