A little over a month ago, I was taking a walk with a friend on the day of this year’s summer solstice. I didn’t know a ton about the true definition of a solstice, but he encouraged me to take a moment to myself to observe and welcome the shift that happens when the sun is at it’s highest point.
Solstices represent transitions - serving as life’s checkpoints where the sun seems to pause for a brief moment in time, allowing us to take a moment to reflect on our journey and welcome in the bright light of our future. They invite us to slow down, come home to ourselves, and let our feelings speak.
Rooted in my love for R&B and refined by beats of afro tech and progressive house, this set speaks to the many transitions we go through in life and how the acceptance of change is not only essential - it’s sexy. Even though we’ve passed through this summer’s solstice, I invite you to take a moment, listen, and embrace the ebbs and flows of how bright your life burns and how softly it dims (+ shake some ass!).
