Bringing All of Myself to the Table: A DJ Set

As a creative person, I find that having a variety of outlets to experiment with, explore, and channel creative flow through only just contributes to making me a more fully-actualized, well-rounded human. (To a point, of course, when one then has taken on too much and becomes depleted.) While jewelry and fashion are by far my primary passions, music also calls. And in fact, those things need not be siloed: most days I am appreciating music and creating setlists while I do bench work. In fact, that’s pretty much my fav combo… the two inspire each other.
Over the holiday weekend, I had the joy of DJing at a friend’s house show/party (enter my new DJ moniker, Bark Barc, shout out to James Gardner!). My set was a mix of house, synth pop, jungle, African psych, tropicalia, new wave, and other oddities. While most DJs don’t publicly share their set lists, I think you might enjoy listening to these groovy jams while dancing in your kitchen or bopping in your car. So share I will. Enjoy, and happy summer!
