Very excited to announce Iāll be spinning records at @theoldnorthbar next month on Saturday May 16th from 8pm to midnight! This spot is near and dear to me and I couldnāt be happier to come play some tunes for all you fine people. Iāve been obsessively digging while traveling in places like DC, Charleston, NYC, Nairobi and more, so come take a little sonic vacation lord knows you need it. Absolutely recession-proof cover charge of $free.99 so you really have no excuse to miss this! (donations and tips are very welcome)
May is here and Iām pleased to provide you with lots of chances to dance this month (and many of them are free)! Iāll also be bringing out used records to sell at some of these shows and Iāve been digging up some gems lately so keep an eye out for that if youāre a record enjoyer.

My style is rooted in precision and intuition, with a sharp ear for layering and recontextualizing samples into seamless, forward-thinking blends that keep crowds locked in!ļæ½ļæ½Youāre invited to our show on 5/1 at @rubiesonfivepoints for our š³Welcome to the Jungleš set.
