When I am creating music one of the set and settings I have in mind is Beloved. There events always bring out the best parts of music and dance for me. This year I felt honored to be playing some Subaqueous music at the NYE party. Here is the live recording of our set.
Jack Yaguda, aka Guda, and I had been practicing for a few days. He was laying down live sax and tabla for the set. After thinking about this for months we headed down to the venue on NYE.
The decor and everything about the event was immaculate. The second you walked in the door you could see all the work and intention that went into the event. On the first floor there was the Pantheon Stage with a massive light installation, and then to the side the Lotus Lounge.
Midnight with Liberation Movement was amazing. They brought up the energy into this ecstatic trance. Calling in the moment with washes of sounds and ecstatic dance. After Midnight I set up and played my set at the Lotus Lounge at 12:30.
Jake’s sax was an awesome addition and really brought out some smooth dub sounds. The set was the most chilled and sexy set I have played. I was excited to bring out a lot of new music and have jack there to rock it as well. What an amazing way to bring in the New Year.
Inspire Truth felt like such an auspicious way to bring in the new year. Dancing with friends, performing for such an amazing group of people, and connecting with other amazing artist was fantastic start. I feel great things coming this year. I have a few releases coming out, more teaching, learning, and ever moving forward in my craft.
2014… the next best ever.
