I love sunday. It’s the day to sleep in, hang out with my family, and do my radio show. For about a year or so now I’ve been doing a weekly internet broadcast called Sunday Soul. The time slot has shifted around somewhat, but I’ve happily settled on Sunday night from 10 pm until there’s only 5 listeners left, or I get so tired I can’t mix (whichever comes first.)

I plan themes, and have guests. We talk for two hours, and play some musical sources (when there’s a guest) and after the theme program is over, I go into the Late Night Discothéque until the sun comes up. I love it. In some ways, doing a program is far more liberating than having a weekly gig at some party, or club (Though it would be really cool to do Sunday Soul in front of people, and videocast it) because I can begin in any way I feel, and take the journey, the conversation into any territory. I love the growth as a man, and as an artist I have enjoyed exploring subjects as light, healing, dysfunction, love, sex, peace, and the process of remixing. I’ve interviewed Jonah Sharp, Jen??, Cosmique Jason, Adnan, Bradelectro, Jaswho?, Hesohi, Drwahwah, Moonbeam, and more. The basic tone of the show is definitely house music, treehousemusic, but I’ve explored the singer songwriter, and had live performances as well as completely non musical guests as well.

What began as seed planting, seeking to educate, inspire, and rekindle something has really grown into a creative outlet for all the colors of my heart. Interesting to see a more service oriented intention evolve into a self realization experience. I mean, doing it for you is the core, but then, if I’m not doing it for me, then what’s really the point? I can not contribute endlessly to something which does not revive my own soul.

This week’s program ‘A Shift in my perspective‘ was dedicated to that change. I performed live, my recent material and some Dubtribe faves for a couple of hours, and then proceeded into the night playing disco music I adore. I didn’t speak much, and in listening back to the recording, I’d say that my singing voice needs to get out a lot more and see the world. But as an expression of my own liberation, stepping into myself as a man, a musician, a writer, a DJ has been such a reluctant journey. I am so good at being a part of a “we.” And yet, I am not so good at being a me. You’re laughing now, I can hear you. Yes, I am irrevocably me and there’s nothing I can do about it… my efforts to be someone else [color=grey]anyone else[/color] never last more than 10 or 15 minutes. I can not act unless I believe…

I just wanted to explore this a moment, and thank everyone who comes to listen. You mean the world to me, and have contributed, willingly, or otherwise, to a bright, and open change in the way I see the world.

Thank you.
