March Events: Fundraiser for Jeremiah and a Wake for Burner71

I know it’s been a minute since I’ve updated this so I felt to bring you two amazing announcements!

In the last few weeks I ran my first raid train as a fundraiser for a dear friend, Jeremiah Hammer (dearearthling.com) who recently was diagnosed with stage 3 lymphoma. We managed to raise the bar from 16k to 19.5k towards his efforts!

Jeremiah has been a purveyor of the independent electronic music community of the Pacific Northwest for nearly 30 years, creating art, curating drum and bass DJ sets, as well as techno, progressive, and downtempo, building tabletop games, and more.

Thank you to everyone for helping achieve our $19.5k to a $24k goal! While we managed to make $19,593 in our 25k goal, the GoFundMe is going strong with a stretch goal of 40k. If you could not donate this time around, this GoFundMe campaign will continue. Any funds contributed will go directly to Jeremiah and his campaign.

If you would like to learn more, and donate to his cause, please visit the GoFundMe campaign still alive and strong at Jeremiah’s Battle Against Lymphoma.

It is amazing to see the community come together for a wonderful friend and supporter in our electronic music community.

If you have recordings from your sets (both audio and visual), SoundCloud links, etc, please post them in into my Discord channel #lymphoma-awareness-fundraiser.

Much love to all the DJs for providing their songs of freedom and giving us those healing tones we all need so very much right now.

A huge thank you to all the people behind the scenes: Ken Jones, Jae Nice, TotalRage, OsirisIndriya, Erika & Jon Lemmon of Viva Recordings, Global PsyFam, Catch22, StreamElements, Dawn Bustonaby, AbstractAMCR, MagdhaHalina, StrayLight, The Golden Shrimp Guild, SOBA, Thalestriss, PHDJ Harmacist for his 13 hr raid train build up, Ken Jones, TEAM BRISK, and many more for helping promote this event to help us go viral!

Next up, I’m honored to be part of something special – I’ve been invited to play a tribute set on a raid train for the late legendary Burner71. 

Chris (Burner) Clay was so much more than a streamer – he was a pirate radio host, a BMX enthusiast from the 80s, and, above all, a passionate jungle and DNB fan through and through. While I didn’t get to know him personally as much as I would have liked, I’m incredibly grateful to be able to pay my respects and keep his spirit alive through music. My heart goes out to his family, friends, and everyone who was touched by his incredible energy.

The set will be one hour of fresh tunes, dedicated to honoring his legacy – a true pioneer who always brought the vibes to the drum and bass community.

If you wish to write to his kudoboard in memory, or send a donation to his family, visit https://www.kudoboard.com/boards/ZCBRU78R

I’ll be playing from 5-6 PM PDT, and I’m beyond excited to share this moment with all of you, alongside so much amazing support from across the DNB community on Twitch. Let’s bring the energy together and celebrate his life through music! 

Hope to see you there. #RipBurner71 #JungleVibes #DNBForever

Until then, keep the light steady and bright!

I know it has been a minute, but we are online and still making music happen!

I was recently invited to play for a few events and had the honor of recording them to share them with you!

The styles vary between downtempo, melodic house, and Psytrance! Please check them out at the links below for your sonic pleasures.

Going in chronological order, my first set was played for a special event celebrating the day of the dead with the Silk Road at the CARAVAN of Seattle! A mix of disco, tech, progressive, and house beats! I was inspired to play some world beats taking us on a proverbial ride around the globe on a mystical caravan…

This second set is a goa and psytrance tribute set to a dearly beloved lost friend of the community. this 2.5-hour masterpiece was derived straight from the heart of your home.

Broose will forever be missed but never forgotten. One of the true purveyors of good within the community.

My Second set was played live for AbstractAMCR for his Holidaze Chillout special on Twitch!

This set is comprised of lush ambient soundscapes, Downtempo, dub beats, and funky lo-fi rhythms

Abstract has been instrumental to the success and a true heart song of almost any Twitch electronic musician. Not only is he a crafter of music, but as well as a visual artist happy to share what he has for the community at large.

Thank you again for all you do in keeping me going. I hope you enjoy the music above!

Until next time – See you on the dancefloor!

MZ WORTHY
No one knows how to push the boundaries of House music quite like Mz Worthy. With a deeply intuitive understanding of production, she’s shown reverence to the traditional form of classic House even while tripping off the mark & sinking into euphoric, less-charted territories of booty-clapping bass. Attaching “Mz” to her name, Mz Worthy marks the new era of her career. With a new relationship to DJing, she connects with her music and her audience like never before. Despite over two decades in the scene, she continuously felt disconnected from the world and her fans. After years of repressing feelings of gender dysphoria, Mz Worthy came out as transgender in 2020. Describing the discovery as pieces of a puzzle coming together, Mz Worthy has invited her fans to join her on her journey in finding herself. Feeling a sense of freedom like never before, she has become more expressive in her music and mixing. Mz Worthy is no stranger to the world of electronic music. Energized by the early American rave scene, she bounced from city to city before finally landing in San Francisco. It was here that she put down roots and established the Dirtybird party alongside Claude VonStroke & Justin & Christian Martin. She released her breakout track “Irst Te” off Dirtybird records back in 2007, followed up by bangers like “Shy Look” (2012), “Tric Trac” with Eats Everything (2011) and “Dip” (2013). Worthy once again proved her notoriety as a producer with her 2014 debut album, Disbehave. Released off her very own label, Anabatic Records, the critically acclaimed album defies genres and pushes the boundaries of the traditional House sound. She followed the record up with a 2-part remix album, featuring Will Clarke, Walker & Royce, Thugfucker, Stanton Warriors, and Yolanda be Cool among others. She has since released on top labels, such as Defected, Exploited, Insomniac, and Toolroom. Having played the massive Coachella, Dirtybird Campout, Burning Man, and Ultra festivals, Mz Worthy has the insight to play for her audience every time, cultivating intense positive energy and an energetic dance floor camaraderie. She invites her audience to embrace their true selves, just as she is. Open to showing and teaching the trans experience, Mz Worthy is a light for other LGBTQ artists. This is only the beginning for her as she reintroduces herself to the scene

A local crew with deep PNW music and art roots takes over the Green Room from 11pm-3am. Taking you on an eclectic journey of sounds – expect to hear everything from loungey downtempo beats to liquid DnB and techno!
See you on the dance floor ❤

“UNITING SOULS has contributed to setting standards as to what the Seattle electronic music community has to offer on a local & international level. It is because of organizations like Uniting Souls that Seattle is a favorite stop among touring electronic musicians. With e-mail, smart phones, cheap flights, declining costs in music production, and the explosion of information technology, the face of the global music community is rapidly changing, but it is collectives like Uniting Souls that are evolving right alongside to help define and retain humanness in the often impersonal world we’ve created.” – The Stranger (Seattle’s Largest Weekly)
