Black Magik is a cumulative playlist spawned from the past four years of Halloween rituals and parties. My favorite time of celebration so there is a lot of passion for curating these songs and including all genres. What started with a Halloween DJ set at Plush became one of the local Cocktail comunities' key parties of the year. Since “The Dead Can Dance” there have been two other playlists specifically for this event. “Drop Dead Gorgeous!” and “Halloween Masquerade”. In 2019 I decided that continuing to summon new playlists every year means we might be losing great songs from previous years so I combined all the previous playlists and updated them with 5 hours of new material. Even though the plague kept us from gathering in 2020 for our usual dark rites I still included another 5-hour update of new material. Bringing the total for this monstrous playlist to 326 songs and 21+ hours of spooky songs to raise the dead. Don’t worry, I’m already conjuring new spirits to add for 2021.

A mix that has nothing to do with the holiday. It’s no secret I’m not much of a “Christmas” fan. I originally had pieces of this mix set up for my Pyropolis 2013 set but I was taken out of Flipside in an ambulance before I even got to play one song. So I kept using the pieces of the set to play my solo shows around town for part of the year, changing songs and mixes to suit the occasion. I was really digging the experimentation that was happening in the early 2010’s. Producers we’re digging through world wide genres like Baile Funk, Tribal Guarachero, Guaracha, Cumbia, Kuduro, Kwaito, Kizomba, Zouk, Moombah, Juke, and Trap and I wanted to play as much of that out as possible. I recorded this and put it on a shelf for a few months but decided to dust it off and give it out as some sort of Christmas Present since Santa won't give presents to the naughty children who shake their booty too much. So put this on and TWRK around your Christmas tree.
