this next batch of songs is slowly coming together, but i’m almost afraid to go through all the demos i’ve written. i know “a day of organization” is necessary at this point, but every time i get to the studio i am tempted with “just one more demo today before I do that.” maybe i’m afraid there isn’t a real star in the mix yet, i’m not quite sure, but i can’t bring myself to…

A bit of a delay in the newsletter this week. My apologies! Last Thursday we ended up throwing a pop up in Montreal. A last minute thing. Was all a bit hectic but ultimately came out extremely positive. That’s been consistent with all of the pop ups. The stress organizing these pop-ups is often through the roof, but the payoff really feels worth it. It’s moving the pulse in a way that feels more organic, authentic. I feel more connected with the people attending, I love that. Lately, I’ve also been thinking more about…

My tour continues Thursday in one of my favourite cities… Montreal! I hope to see you there. Some tickets are still available. Also I really appreciate all the kind messages about my new song Background Noise. This one felt different. It feels so good to play this one live. Sometimes they just hit right. I played Vegas and Calgary this past weekend. Calgary was sold out. Vegas always makes me thing about gambling…

Halloween was an exhausting hodgepodge of both of my projects playing 3 shows in 48 hours and it was an absolute blast. I did 2 shows in LA with Glass Petals and 1 in Vancouver as Felix. It’s fun having both projects rolling at the same time. The Brownies & Lemonade party in LA was full of energy, I love everything that company has contributed to the scene. Just throwing fun parties for the culture. We chatted about…

Sorry I missed my newsletter yesterday. It was Canadian Thanksgiving. I decided to take the day off… mostly. I worked on some visuals in the morning before we had a family dinner. That was very nice. My nephew is 5 now and I’m officially the “fun uncle” aka let’s whip Beanie Babies at my head while we run around my parents’ basement screaming (him in joy and me in fear.) It is a blast though and I love spending time with him. I guess there’s nothing more Canadian than apologizing for…

I hear it’s lit. 🔥  All puns aside, I’m extremely excited, nervous and a bit terrified. I think that is the appropriate hodgepodge of emotions. I’ve never been to Burning Man before, but this year I’m playing 6 sets. Makes sense for my first time 😂. It feels like a rite of passage for DJ’s, but I know it’s that way for attendees as well. I’ve been educating myself on it for the past few weeks and I have a lot of respect for how these things come about. I know the level of planning and community required to make…

But we’ll get to that in a bit. I’m having a pretty good workflow these days. I feel good and I feel the momentum. I think i’m being a lot more patient with myself and not trying to cram 1000 things into one day. If I just breathe and focus on a couple things for the day, at the end of the week I still feel like I’ve accomplished a lot. Which has honestly been surprising! Focussing on less accomplishes more? Make it make fucking sense! It’s torturous to have an endless to-do list day every day. But…

Your 31st tattoo… not as hard. My first one took me about 5 years to decide what I wanted. It needed to be perfect. It needed to mean something. My 31st… I saw it in a window that day and thought it looked cool. 1 hour later it was permanently on my body. I love them both. 

I guess that’s a…

I’m on a delayed plane from Ft Lauderdale to Denver, and then I’ll continue back to Vancouver. The flight delay is 40mins and my connection is only 1 hour… should be interesting. “Interesting” is my favourite way to describe “possible impending disaster.” I’m sure when someone saw the Jan 6th crowd outside the capitol, they thought, “should be interesting.”

That reference felt apt since…
