We Need Jungle I’m Afraid

Right, we’re going to take a Music round now…

On Soundcloud

Superhero like, even

Hackers penetrate and ravage delicate public and privately owned computer systems, infecting them with viruses, and stealing materials for their own ends.

Take It Back

Take It Back: a renegade gathering to make up for lost time stolen by the plague. Performed on a brilliant sunny day in Berkeley, California.

Mission: Dance 2 (Jungle Boogaloo)

The world is constantly shapeshifting, adapting, and evolving. This mix was improvised by popular request on an unexpected Wednesday at a warehouse in the Mission, San Francisco.

Mission: Dance

This mix is an homage to legendary NYC discotheques Area, Limelight, Visage, Danceteria, Roxy, and the Paradise Garage. Performed on a rather lit Wednesday at a warehouse in the Mission, San Francisco.

More Twerking!

Following the NYE disco funk set from Old Man Syne, James Fish and I decided it was about time to rinse out the crowd, bumping serious old skool beats till 6 N’ tha Mornin’.

The high priestess Shanza sayeth unto the people: ❝More Twerking!❞

Age of Wonder

This New Year was spent with good friends in the cozy woodland surroundings of Wonder Valley Ranch in the Sierras. My alter ego, Old Man Syne, cooked up some groovy beats to help ring in 2017.

Folks danced hard, and in the morning I was paid the most excellent complement when one reveler told me that my set was like being inside a “utopian dentist’s office from the 70’s”.

There are places and events that, through the years, begin to take on special meaning. Few parties more near and dear to my heart than Trip Vest’s once-birthday-now-festival on a secret San Francisco beach. It’s had many names in its history – last year at Edididob (Every Day I Dream I’m Dancing on the Beach) I played a particularly luscious morning mix for the revelers. In fact, sunrise is one of my favorite times to spin because dancers are in such a malleable state you can take them almost anywhere.

Make it Rain

As you know, California is currently racked by a drought engineered by the same crooked ‘scientists’ who faked the moon landing. Luckily, Betabrand has a solution: in partnership with SpaceX they’re grinding up used pants and bits of fabric from the cutting room floor to pack inside a rocket that will be detonated above the skies of Mendocino county to induce rainfall.

To raise money for the (rather expensive) pants, not to mention the rocketry equipment, Betabrand held a fundraiser at their offices on Valencia that yielded more than $600 for those effected by the drought and wildfires. Your humble DJ ¢hip$et, né Pup, threw down drippy, wet beats feat. none other than the face-melting cypherpunk Ri¢h Jone$.

Beach Dreams

Ten years ago I met a chipper, extremely bright, and enthusiastic kid by the name of Trip Vest. Together we built soccer-playing robots out of drill motors, solenoids, and scavenged spare parts. Through the years, although we didn’t hang in the same circles and Trip moved to California while I bounced between Japan and New York City, we remained good friends and I always saw him with a smile on his face.

The Gospel: Saturday Mass

In an era of new friends and funky beats, there are none funkier than the beautiful smiling faces of the Monks of Funk.

The Monks saw fit to call upon the Reverend Gleitz to bless the masses with the Groove, the Altered Ninth, Frankensense, and Myrrh. And it was good – ya dig? Grab the boogie while it’s hot.

Seaside Ranch Seal Felony

The soundtrack to Pup’s Seaside Ranch party calls to mind oceanfront cave oms, fireplace cuddle piles, lazy seal pups, breathtaking hikes, banging beats, and gourmet meals. It does, however, need more barts.

Sexy Sunday Selecta

Fresh off the decks is a sultry new mix just in time for the sweaty days of summer. Get down, y’all.

Far Out! A Journey back to 1974

For fans of funk and disco the 70’s are a magical and formative era. For a DJ the 70’s are a smorgasbord of groovy rhythms and deep grooves. This weekend, in celebration with my buddy Bill, his fiancé Jen, and a killer cast of friends and family I put together a musical line-up for their 1974-themed party at Dunton Hot Springs in the mountains of Colorado.

Chord Memory Tokyo (Promo Mix)

In preparation for my upcoming show in Tokyo with Micah Ginnis (of Chord Memory) I’ve released a promo mix that should get your booty moving. Since I won’t be lugging too much vinyl to Japan this was recorded on Ye Olde CDJ-1000s.

Gleitz - Chord Memory Promo (92:11)

Meteorological Winter

Hot off the decks I’ve got a wintery mix that starts chilled and then gets real cozy.

Team Fun BBQ (Gleitz VS Sagotsky)

In collaboration with @sagotsky, here’s my set from the first Team Fun BBQ in Brooklyn, NY.

Also at the BBQ was the ever-smooth Soul 2 Seoul.

Overland Route House Battle

In collaboration with @sagotsky, this set is the first 20 minutes of a soon-to-be-completed mix that will stretch from Oakland to Brooklyn.

Always Summer Somewhere

Channeling my blog-fu I have joined Iron Blogger San Francisco, in which a dedicated posse of Bay Area bloggers commit to a post a week.

Inspired by fellow (audio) blogger Matt Earp (Kid Kameleon) and Dan Levine, I’ve decided to make this week’s post an aural experience.

Enjoy! It’s always summer somewhere…
