Here it is, y’all: my headlining set from the Main Room at REAL BAD 37. From the “Shadows” to “Peace Train,” this one was a true labor of love, and I’m so grateful to everyone who showed up “Together” to support me and help make it such a special night. First off, to the REAL BAD committee - especially, Derrick, Kevin, Philip, Chandler, Mario, and Harrison - volunteers who give their time year-round to put on Grass Roots Gay Rights’ events, raising an incredible amount of money for local Bay Area LGBTQ orgs. Thank you for believing in me and supporting me so much this past year. You made this LA lonely boy feel truly special. Stephen J, Stephen M, Jarrod & Zach C, Zach N, Kevin & Carlos, Danny, and Ryan: looking out and seeing each of you out on that dance floor all night made this experience even more magical for me. To my fellow DJs and promoters in the house - George, Brian, Matt, Brady, Deanne, Russ, Dan & Luciano, Jorge, and Carmen - thank you for being peers who lift each other up in an industry that doesn’t always make it so easy. And Conner & Dustin, sharing this musical odyssey with you both was everything! Your talent & musical prowess knows no end. This set was a true journey - with a beginning, a middle, and no end. (IYKYK… thank you, Peter, for the “Drama”) There were some big swings and a lot of musical homage was paid. “One By One” will be out next week and the Dolly montage will be online soon as well. Want a track ID? Drop it in the comments and I’ll happily ID it for you. Surrender all your dreams to me tonight… they’ll come true in the end.

Hi y'all! What started out being what could've been an average Friday night in West Hollywood ended up being one of my favorite sets of the summer! Please enjoy this fun midsummer night's ride of house bangers and pop diddies to bop around to. And see you at REAL BAD 37 in a few weeks!

I had the pleasure of DJing for some of the most important people in my life during the week of my 50th birthday in Provincetown. Gifford House has become such an incredibly important space in this mystical magical queer little town and there's nowhere I'd rather have gathered my closest loved ones to share a dance floor outing with than Purgatory. Please enjoy all 3 hours of this fun birthday journey... I was shedding tears of joy by the end of the night.I also want to wish a very happy Pride Season to all of my fellow queer folks, as well as our allies, this June. Remember always that queer dance floors are an important epicenter of resistance and they're always one of the greatest sources of community and joy.

Please enjoy my set from Paramount at The Crown & Anchor in Provincetown on May 29th, 2026. It wasn't the craziest night I've ever played there, but I wanted to make sure I still turned out something great to listen back to. This one starts out light, but it's a grower by the end!

Please enjoy Part 2 of my set at The Cuff Complex from my hometown of Seattle back in April. The "Demon Circuit" spirit was alive & well with the children!Advanced Warning: this set pops the f-ck off at points! Check out Part 1, here: Djblacklow – Demon-circuit-the-cuff-seattle The theme for the night was "welcome back to our Queen of Pop - Madonna!" Part 1 opened with a Sgt Slick mashup of an Armand Van Helden classic ("Hear My Name") layered over "Borderline," and Part 2 closes with one of my favorite Junior Vasquez/Madge anthems of all time! (you'll have to listen to the end to find out which it is!) ... here in Part 2 you'll hear Nick Bertossi's updated remix of "Future Lovers" into the brand new "I Feel So Free" from "Confessions II", leading directly into Peter Rauhofer's classic remix of "Impressive Instant" from 2000. Dance your asses off and enjoy!

It was so wonderful to return this spring to The Cuff Complex in my hometown of Seattle. Truly one of my favorite places to play... and a venue that always has the best crowds! Last fall, my friend Weston produced his first "Demon Circuit" party around Halloween and it was such a success he's keeping the franchise goin' year 'round! I was in the main room this time with hometown hero, the incredibly talented Nick Bertossi, on the patio. And once again, the night did not disappoint... Seattle, you bring it every time! I just couldn't wait to post this set, so here's Part 1 now, with Part 2 coming next week. If there was a theme for the night, it was "welcome back to our Queen of Pop - Madonna!" This set opens with a new Sgt Slick mashup of an Armand Van Helden classic ("Hear My Name") layered over "Borderline," and Part 2 closes with one of my favorite Junior Vasquez/Madge anthems of all time! (you'll have to listen to find out which it is!) ... in-between, dad serves you "Vogue," "Ray Of Light" (Victor Calderone's), "Impressive Instant" (Peter Rauhofer's)", and Nick's incredible updated remix of "Future Lovers" into the brand new "I Feel So Free." Dance your asses off and enjoy!

It was such an honor to have the opportunity to play at INDUSTRY in Puerto Vallarta back in February. But what made the night most special was that it was the after party celebrating the wedding of my two friends, Zach & Justin. From Tove Lo to John Legend (their first dance was to "All Of Me"), it was so much fun incorporating some of their favorite tracks into this set. Congrats guys! Here's to a long beautiful life together of love and adventure!

This past Valentine's Day, love was in the air in St. Louis as the midwest called out to my romantic side. It was a delight returning to play for my cupid crew at Monarch Events... please enjoy the journey of my lonely hearts club set.

It's been a full year now that I've been returning monthly to Chill Bar in Palm Springs for a monthly residency and I couldn't be more grateful for the experience. I always have great crowds and an even greater time in the booth there and it's truly become a highlight of a gig for me. A major thanks to Rob G and Patrick Ryan in the booth, for all of your love & support! I've decided to start recording and posting my sets from there every now & then, so here's my first installment from Feb. 7th, 2026. This is a very pop centric set - I get into some house-y sections - but it's really mostly mainstream tracks and remixes that have broad appeal. That's just what this particular room requires... but it's good gym and workout music though, so I hope you enjoy!

Please enjoy Part 2 of my set from The Cuff in Seattle over Thanksgiving weekend!

I'm not sure what was in the air last Friday, but this set went off from the beginning! The Seattle crowd musta been very ready to get away from their families and onto the dance floor, because the energy zipped from 0 to 100 within the first 30 minutes. All kidding aside, this may be the best set I've played all year... I was in a great mood and I was really having a lot of fun in the booth this night. Gonna break this one into two parts, because it's worth taking the time to savor each part of the journey. I hope you enjoy it!

Post this nearly 5-hour spooky set from The Chapel... sure, why not? Enjoy!

Sharing my full set from the patio of The Cuff in Seattle for its first ever "Demon Circuit" Halloween party! A huge shout out to Weston Blankenship for organizing this awesome new event and for having me play it... and also to my sis, Hector Fonseca, for playing an amazing set in the main room! This is a fun set with a gentle & gradual build-up. Enjoy!

I had such a great night in my former home town of Portland recently playing this late summer set at The Get Down for BRÜT. Feeling post-Burning Man inspired, I delivered a set that's truly emblematic of where my sound is heading these days. (more similar to what you heard in my PTown/Gifford House set back in July) Learning the art of opening takes years and the first hour of this set is a true warm-up to welcome the crowd and slowly start filling the dance floor. DJ's should never start the night at an 11 and I have great honor & respect for the slow build and the long journey; music that weaves and tells a story over the course of the night. You'll hear a transition about an hour in when the crowd starts to usher in and the night really begins. From there on out, it's 90-minutes of tech house heaven. I've been going a bit acapella crazy recently and this night was no exception. I had a lot of fun playing several tracks for the first time including Adam Ten's "Just Kidding" (layering Shawnee Taylor's "Live Your Life" vocals over), N2N's new track "Naked," Vinter's "Space Pump," BLOND:ISH's new "Don't Cha" remix from The Pussycat Dolls, and my friend Simon Harrison's new original "Find Me On The Dance Floor" (also with a special acapella layered over!) I hope you enjoy this set... please repost, share, and say something in the comments if you do!
