I had a wonderful time preparing for this unique gig honoring the late legendary Japanese artist, Ryuichi Sakamoto. I went through his vast catalogue picked out my favorites to share & attempt to make a coherent mix out of.
The end result was this live mix I whipped together on a fun Thursday night at one of my favorite places to dj in Madison, Leopold's Books Bar Caffè.
Enjoy the ride!

It's always a dream when you get to dj at the beautiful University of Wisconsin's Memorial Union Terrace Stage and thankfully it turned into a beautiful evening after the threat of rain passed. It was wonderful to be able to play blissful beats while everyone enjoyed the stellar view.  Unbeknownst to me, as I was playing Al Green's I'm Still in Love with You there was a wedding proposal that happened on one of the piers behind me. One of those perfect spontaneous moments that rarely happen.
Sit back and enjoy!

Live mix from my monthly French night at the wonderful Leopold's Books Bar Caffè in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. Covering a wide range of music by French artists. Always a good vibe and a great way to kick off 2023!

It was an honor and a challenge to dj for the monthly Ukrainian Fundraiser Dinner at Leopold's Books Bar Caffè in Madison, WI, as this was the first time in my life I dj'd a set like this. As someone who doesn't speak or read Russian it was quite the adventure on all levels.
3+ hours of (mostly) Ukrainian music that I discovered through countless hours of deep digging. Lots of cool stuff! Hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did.
And yes, the last track has an actual live bird jamming with the band. Something I've never heard before.

Live set from an absolutely magical evening of music, dancing & friendship. I had the pleasure to open the party and set the vibe up for a nostalgic night of house & techno classics.

100% live mix from my monthly French Pop night at Leopold's Books Bar Caffè. 
Covering all sorts of French music from the 1950's to now.
Captured on an absolutely perfect Summer night.
Enjoy!

Live, fully improvised mix of ALL Prince from my gig the night he died. I had people coming up to me and telling me their deep emotional connections to Prince the entire time I was dj'ng (amazingly there's no dead air!).
It was a truly memorable evening.
Over 3 & 1/2 hours and it still barely scratches the surface of his genius.

Live set from the 3rd annual LCD Soundsystem vs Daft Punk party I did way back in 2014 at the Majestic Theatre in Madison, Wisconsin.
Every one of these parties was a fun challenge as a dj to pull off. 
Pretty simple rules...songs were either produced or remixed by members of Daft Punk or LCD Soundsystem or on their respective record labels.
