I recently read that there are serious health benefits to listening to unfamiliar music. Introducing new artists and new songs increases the plasticity of our brains. The more you seek out neuroplasticity, the likelier you are to remember things, learn new skills, adapt to environments and protect yourself from cognitive decline.

With that being said, here's some of my favorite new tracks from last month!

My December Pick Six playlists feature Bootblacks, REIN, Antigen Shift ft. ṈɅȠϾỴ, St. Theodore, IV Horsemen remixed by Alessandro Nero, Curse Mackey remixed by Caustic, Circuit Preacher, I Think I Broke Something, HEALTH, thewalkingicon, Zaatar, Codex Empire, Kimisma, Noir, Red Deviil, Hoxan, ODDKO remixed by Processor, TR/ST, Celt Islam, monolog + Variát, Filmmaker, Keepsakes, Matt Ess, Domek, Eisfabrik, I Ya Toyah remixed by The Anix, digitaldrvgs + Dancing Plague, Empirion, Tham and Tineidae!!

December makes it 15 years that I've been DJing. I am extremely grateful for all the opportunities that have come my way, especially for something I never intended to pursue in the first place.

With the exception of The Ination on December 30, my schedule is wide open. I would really like celebrate by DJing some events throughout the month.

If you or anyone you know has some guest spot openings, please let me know! Please feel free to share!!

11/21/2023

The Ination has two amazing events this week, starting with Ination Old Skool at Liquid Bar tomorrow night!!

For my old school set, I was thinking about going back 20 years and focusing on the year 2003. I feel it will get me to dig out some tracks I haven't played in a very long time. Thoughts?
