I'm a DJ, Music Remixer, and Event Producer in service of conscious movement, drawing on my own practice of ecstatic dance and contact improvisation for inspiration. I've DJ'd for 450+ dances since 2010.

I'm known for my eclectic and wide-ranging musical taste, and even more so for bringing some of the latest cutting-edge Bass Music. I love to mix electronic and organic beats, and depending upon the venue will play anything from angelic ambient to uptempo electro. To each set I bring a rough palette of musical ideas–the final journey is created as a response to what I am feeling in communion with the field of dancers–​and I always find a way to integrate a few novel remixes of beloved classics.

I am the resident DJ at Ecstatic Dance Corvallis. I'm in the regular rotation at Ecstatic Dance Oakland, Ecstatic Dance Fairfax, and Coalessence Dance (Eugene, Oregon). I can be heard at many other dance venues on the west coast, as well as private events. I co-founded Ecstatic Dance Records and co-founded Ecstatic Dance Immersion at Breitenbush Hot Springs. I have collaborated live in performance with Donna DeLory, Little Star, Kyrstyn Pixton, eO, Gabriel Gold, Kelly Atkins, and others.

Some Career Highlights include:
  • DJing dozens of times at Ecstatic Dance Oakland ("the mothership"), leading the dance experience for 300–400 folks at a time.
  • Having the honor of the infamous Bassnectar show up for a dance event where I was the DJ, and receiving the following message from him afterwards: "I had a blast man, your set was excellent and deeply enjoyable. Super smooth and cohesive and I loved all of the music as much as the mixing and the journey."
  • Being booked to play for the legendary Ecstatic Dance Bali (at the Yoga Barn), where guest DJs are extremely rare--and providing such an epic set that they had me play again for their next dance.
