Here is a recording of the my live Leave Trace set from the Oscillate ambient showcase at Chop Suey on Sept. 9, 2009. It was my first solo live set, playing all original music, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. It features some material you may have heard in my Regression Session mix, but there was also a good chunk of newer material in the set. Enjoy!

Leave Trace - Live at Oscillate (9.9.09)

Yes! It appears that Flying Rhino Records, one of the originators of Goa and Psytrance and one of many of such labels to fail during The Great Downloading Storm of 20XX, is resurfacing in the new digital download era as Flying Rhino Digital. I stumbled across this 4.5 minute preview on Soundcloud, showcasing a new modern sound from the Rhinos, but still containing the class and maturity that can only be gained from experience. I’m really looking forward to this release and to hear what else the Digital Rhinos have in store for us.

Here’s a neat little video of the Dec. 16th Dancechurch, with sets be me and the Future Nurses, that Lara604 assembled. Enjoy!

Tonight I’m playing at DanceChurch with Amanita and Osiris Indriya of the Future Nurses. This is sure to be one stompalicious night. There may even been some 3-way tagteam action…. we shall see how the evening plays out, but I can think of no other DJs that I’d rather be paired with for the intimate DanceChurch setting. I’m scheduled to open at 7:30, so come early!

Here’s the official blurb, from the Facebook event:

Join us this Wednesday for a special Dancechurch with Amanita (http://www.myspace.com/DJAmanita) and Osiris (http://www.osirisindriya.com) and Crispy (www.splendidbeats.com) serving up hot dance beats all night long (7:30-10:00)!

All ages, family friendly, and alcohol free. $5-10 requested donation. (But if that keeps you away you’re really silly and losing out for sure.) Water will be available for free (please bring your own cup or container). Hot tea, bottled water, and reusable earplugs will for sale.

Please help keep things cool with our neighbors: please park in the street and not in any of the lots around the church.

Love and beats,

Hendrik

**Dancechurch is a family-friendly alcohol-free community gathering on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of every month. We dance to a variety of music provided by some of the finest West Coast DJ’s and musicians. And those of you that think dancing with kids can’t be fun, think again. It’s a riot to see young and innocent kids having a blast shaking it to the music we love! And this is a perfect opportunity for all our teenagers and young adults to come and kick it as well.

Date: Wednesday, December 16, 2009
Time: 7:30pm – 10:00pm
Location: Transcendent Church of Bass
Street: 920 Elliot Ave W
City/Town: Seattle, WA
