This guy is playing a 4-hour vinyl set this Saturday at .wine from 7–11pm.

I feel like this photo pretty much sums up my relationship with music. Look at this little nerd. If I was this excited about listening to the Scream 2 soundtrack in 1998, imagine the stoke I feel being back in the saddle in my city of musical origin — playing my favorite records on real tangible wax for all my favorite people.

I’ll be bringing a stack of records that mean a lot to me — souvenirs of the past few years of wandering and digging:
NYC, New Orleans, Louisville, Vegas, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Cannes, Nice and a few other stops along the way.

Expect lots of boogie, house, disco, funk, freestyle, nu-disco, remixes, and other top-tier toe-tapping tunes.

Would love to see some familiar faces there.

☀️😎 Backyard BBQ Vol. 19 has finally arrived—and like summer itself, it’s always worth the wait. *Link in bio*

Thank you for your patience this year.

It’s been a full season of change for me in every sense, and putting this mix together became a way to reconnect to myself and re-center into a new rhythm. I’m reminded that I make these for myself just as much as for all of you. Equal parts therapy and offering.

As is custom, you’re in for over 80 minutes of carefully curated sounds to elevate your days and nights: from unhurried afternoons and intimate gatherings to open-road escapes and golden-hour conversations.

Whether you’re hosting, wandering, or simply unwinding, let this be your companion through the sunlit stretch ahead—or a portal to warmer feelings, wherever you find yourself.

Best served: backyards, hammocks, grilled meats, park hangs, picnics, seaside, poolside, road trips

Genres: r&b, neo soul, hip-hop, latin/brazilian flavors, lofi, reggae, indie, psych, city pop, fusion jazz, soul

As always, I’m deeply grateful for your ears, your support, and your presence, especially in a world overflowing with options and constant noise. Every message, every repost, every shoutout: it all means more than you know. It reminds me why I do what I do, why I’ve kept this tradition going for 19 years.

If this mix brings even a little more joy into your orbit or helps you bring people together, then I’ve done my job.
Music has the power to shift energy and open hearts. Love is the message, and let’s keep finding ways to pass it on.
