We love surprises, and we’re pretty sure that you do too!

As a special treat to curb those Monday blues, and of course keep you waiting in anticipation for this coming weekend at Lucidtiy Festival, we decided to release our 7th episode of our original podcast series featuring none other than Bay Area resident, Ardalan.

Based out of San Francisco, Ardalan is part of beloved Dirtybird label and family. This past year has been insane for the crew as their popularity has sky-rocketed- not only in the states, but abroad. 

In tune with the nature of the Dirtybird players, Ardalan and Music is Love present you with one hell of a house mix: classic, clean simple- all the while being technical and provocative.

Ardalan grooves between classic 90’s house music, deep house, tech house, and Dirtybird’s big booty bass style so fluidly, there is a seamless swing between his use of present day tracks and grooves that have been around for about 30 years.

Make sure to catch Ardalan at the Audiowaska stage curated by Music is Love, this weekend at Lucidity Festival!

Lucidity 2014 welcomes your long-awaited festival season with open arms and the beautiful backdrop of Live Oak.

Trust me, a week will fly by out of sheer bliss for what you can only imagine is ahead!

Rounding up our 4-part promo series is Bay Area native, Rob Webster A.K.A. Slitherhead. Not for the light-hearted, strictly for the bass headed. What did you think? We’d leave you without some of that crunk!?!

Slithering through trap, heavy bass and some of the sexiest crunk remixes you’ve ever heard, Slitherhead brings to you a mix that is nothing short of a treat for your ears and your body, which can’t help but slither around the dance floor.

Make sure to catch Slitherhead’s (silent disco set), DJ Hogg, Trevor Kelly & Rene Lomeli at our home stage- Audiowaska!

Congratulations, Ladies and Gents!

You’ve  made it through a few torturous months without a festival and now, you are only 2 weeks away from:

camping in one of the most beautiful counties in the nation, seeing all your loving friends, meeting new incredible people, learning, sharing, transforming and of course, dancing!

Our third mix is from Santa Barbara’s own, John Hogg A.K.A. DJ Hogg. Starting with a feel-good garage track, Hogg quickly transitions to straight house- utilizing tracks & remixes that are up to date, while maintaining a classic feel.

What is house traditionally to me? Soulful, sexy, effortless, groovy and consistently cool. Hogg maintains my long-standing perception of a favorite genre. This one hits the spot both nostalgically and currently.

I hope to catch ya’ll “walkin’ round like you’re bigger than Prince” at Lucidity 2014!

Bringing in the second mix of our Lucidity promo-podcast series is San Francisco’s Trevor Kelly.

This mix carries some serious weight for all you heavy hitters. Laced with an impressive amount of originally produced tracks, Kelly successfully incorporates everything from festival trap to dubstep to glitch to future bass to oh-so-many 808s- I absolutely love how this mix progresses!

Originally from Southern California, you can currently find Trevor playing along the likes of Northern Bay Area favorites such as DJ Laura Low, Thrifworks & Russ Liquid. Not only a creative DJ, but an extremely talented producer. Make it a point to check out his original tracks.

Music is Love and Trevor Kelly present to you, our first bass mix for our Lucidity promo series.

Here’s to you, bassheads!
