We are one: my house is your house
We Are One is a series of online live shows that I created in response to the global pandemic that wreaked havoc in 2020. I felt, in the early stages of the pandemic, that it was more important than ever to provide people with a sense of community and togetherness and to bring friends together from all corners of the globe to laugh, love and dance (like no one was watching).
The series kicked off with We Are One Vol.1 on April 12 2020, my birthday. In the absence of turntables or CDJs I had to get creative using Ableton and several controllers to curate my mixes for the faithful. It was actually a giant learning curve for me as I’d never DJ’d in this way, and as the shows evolved so did the complexity of the sets.
By the fifth and final show (on American Independence Day), We Are One had moved well beyond DJ’ing into the live performance arena with 8 dedicated DJ channels, hundreds of a cappellas and stems, and 5 live performance channels that allowed me to improvise on the keyboards in real time. In short, this was no longer a DJ set. It was a 4-hour long live set!
The whole series is archived via my MIXCLOUD page, and downloads are available on request. Just use the contact page on the website and drop me a line.
