Here's my set from Dance Church on Sunday, June 30th. After much self-reflection, I've decided this will be my last time playing at Dance Church indefinitely. Since 2014, I've DJed at Dance Church 52 times.

Change is inevitable, and my creative path has diverged from Dance Church's new direction. While stepping away is heartbreaking, I'm immensely grateful for the incredible moments and people I've met. Thank you to everyone who made Dance Church happen over the past 10+ years. I'm hopeful for Dance Church's future.
