DJs were friends or acquaintances of the owner (that’s how I got my opportunity) playing an eclectic mix of rock-dance (think DFA and early Mad Decent), 80’s, indie tunes, UK styled dubstep, old school hip hop and disco funk on Friday and Saturday nights. It started with 2 Technic 1200’s and a crappy 2 channel Stanton mixer which was already used up and having issues. What’s always been awesome is that a restaurant (in an old car rim & wheel warehouse) has given local DJs a place to play, and as I see it, a space for eclecticism without the pressures of crowd or scene.Ī quick list of notes from the last 7 years at Mua when it opened in October of 2008. I’ve been a part of the place since before it opened and had the pleasures and frustrations of building some of the various incarnations of DJed music there. No matter what, I always look forward to my monthly gigs at Mua Restaurant & Bar in Oakland, California.

The music herein evokes this sensation and touches down for a couple vocal points of reference that man or machine, we are living in the same dream. Sonically to travel time and space in an instant and for sustained periods. One of the things about music I love is a sound’s ability to transport us to fictional spaces, imaginative landscapes. Maybe my neurons are firing a little more often these days. I suppose some might call this experimental or head music.

Trance through repetition, texture and space. Touching upon club styles, but relying more on the slowly emerging. It was the energy and ambiguity that gave glimpse to the magical and mystical realms. When I first became enraptured with music, it was through 50’s and 60’s jazz, the avant 20th century composers, the dj ready dubbed out psychedelia, soundtrack styles, hip hop neck breakers, and futuro drum & bass breakbeat swirls which put the hope of sonic states to the reality of modern states. I wouldn’t call it a best of list, moreso an evocation. It’s time for me to pull together another satisfying wrap up of sounds and atmospheres, rhythms, tones and trends from the last year of my music shopping and listening.
