💞Thank you to everyone who has reached out to Samantha and I regarding the current fires.

We are thankfully safe and south of the current fires - besides the horrific air quality yesterday and the winds. The fire danger zone in slide 2 is over 120 miles wide however so it’s quite scary for our friends who live north of us closer to the current hellscape.

🏡📩Our home is open to anyone who may need a place to stay, as are our messages if anyone needs any help whatsoever🫡

✨Let’s celebrate 2024 in style today on Saturo Sounds

💞It has been an incredible year full of so much introspection and growth.

🕺A full “thank you” post later but for now, please join us over on Saturo Sounds radio today, New Years eve, where I’ll be laying down a set of all original productions from this busy-busy year at 11am LA, 2pm NYC and 7pm UK time!

✅PLUS a ton of great DJs laying down groovers to ring in the festivities🙂‍↔️

See you there ❤

🧸Happy Thursday, friends!

Wishing everyone a happy Boxing Day, Saint Steven’s Day, merry Xmass and of course, a חג חנוכה שמח happy Chanukah! 🕎🎄💞

Hope everyone’s been having a truly incredible holiday season so far!

It’s been NON stop rollercoaster of cooking in the kitchen from Italian pastas, to garlic soups, latkes, sufganiyot donuts, and so much more!

And to cap off the shenanigans Saturo Sounds is ringing in the New Year in style with 3 days of resident mixes including a freshly baked LIVE SET from me featuring some of my 2024 productions!

It’s been 2 years since I’ve last done one of these so you won’t wanna miss it - plus the rest of the lineup ain’t too bad either 🥳🤪💞

Beatport is having a Black Friday sale - as best as they can so it’s the perfect time to support your indie artists 🥰

I’ve currently two records sitting just outside of top 10.

First is the Hall North “Ayahuasca” EP with my Nova remix alongside a stellar chugging number from Bulldozer - UK - out now for several months and getting massive love from the Man Like Sasha himself. Out on Brent Lawson’s Pro B Tech Music

The second is one of my favorite originals “Second Wind” with Reborn Within out on Madloch’s Future Avenue along with 3 other ridiculous remixes 🦃

🥰

‼️Out today “Second Wind” with Reborn Within on Future Avenue 🎶

🔮After teasing this record the past few months in my DJ sets – including this one at ADE - we are delighted to see its release day!

➡️You can now grab a copy and stream it on all major streaming platforms via the link blow. ✅

🏜️A very special collaboration work with my homie Zack Trionfo – we are excited to share this one with you all!

💪🏽This track is very special to us as it showcases our love for and influence by the New York City dance music scene that we grew up with. Although we have both moved away from the Big Apple, its impact on us is felt throughout our art.🍎

☝🏽This release features remixes by Matías Delóngaro , Zaleski , and Vihanga - each adding their distinct touch, further enhancing the deep and atmospheric qualities of the original production.

💙As always, a special thanks to Madloch and the Sound Avenue label group fam for the love

🕺And a HUGE thanks to everyone for their continuous love and support💃
