I have spent the last 6 months putting together a mix of bass influenced house. I have been so inspired by the music which has been released recently, that I felt that I needed to compile a mix of this great music which has given me so much joy.
This mix started when I discovered the song “Vibe Alert” by No Thanks. After listening to this song roughly 100 times, I felt that I needed to find many more songs to accompany it. Right around this same time, I found out about an artist named San Pacho. Anyone who knows me well, knows that when I find an artist I love, I start devouring their whole library, studying every song like I am about to take an exam on their sound. After playing San Pacho’s tracks for a few months, I then made the bold move of reaching out to him on Instagram, asking about his music and praising his sound. He responded by sending me a library of unreleased tracks, which have been at the core of almost every one of my sets since June.
All of this being said, I have put together a mix that I am very happy with. It has taken countless hours of my time and I consider it the last mix I will be working on for a long time. While the style may not satisfy all tastes, I hope you can appreciate the time, intention, and emotion I put into this. This mix is peak Gene Lee.
Please enjoy.

On December 10th we celebrated 8 years dedicated to the sound we all love, deep, soulful Drum & Bass otherwise known as DEEP N BΔSS. This set was played live at the Monkey Loft in Seattle and the vibes were thick. I hope you enjoy my exploration of the deeper sounds of Drum & Bass. Big ups to our crew, Rob Noble, Zacharia, Grym & Korra the Kid.
Thank you all for staying true to your sound and pushing the limits of what Deep n' Bass is. Your sounds motivate me to dive deeper into this beautiful genre of music.

Last Saturday was one of the best nights we have ever hosted in or 23 year career together. Every DJ prepared their set and it really showed.
In my career, last Saturday was one of the best crowds I have ever played for. I am still getting chills from people dancing, clapping, singing, and yes people on each others shoulders, like they were at a festival.
I originally wasn't going to post my set, but because it was such a positive experience, I thought I should release it into the wild. This mix is for everyone who was there, and everyone who wanted to, but couldn't make it.
Upon listening, I feel that this is one of my best. I hope you can take a moment to listen and relive the magic that happened on that bouncing Monkey Loft deck last Saturday at LOST.

DJing in 2020 has been challenging. Normally I will craft a set over a number of gigs, testing mix after mix on a live audience. This year I have had to channel my fondest memories of LOST to pull inspiration for my online sets. This was until Donald Glaude asked me to do a set on Donald Glaude & Peeps. Donald has been the single biggest influence on my DJ career. The energy he brings to the decks alongside his beaming smile has been a constant reminder to have fun doing what you love. Putting a set together for him came easy. I am pleased to let you know that I have recorded my finest set in over a year. If you are at home and want to feel what it’s like to be back at LOST, I have you covered.
This is the audio recording of a set I played from my house during being quarantined on 3-28-2020. Thanks to everyone who tuned in! Your comments gave me life!!! <3

Last night was so much fun at the DEEP N BΔSS 4 Year Anniversary! So glad to see so many familiar faces celebrating last night. Rob Noble reminded me to press record last night, so I did.

Today on my 39th birthday I am releasing the sequel to a mix I did years ago, "Feel." I created “Feel Again” on the Summer Solstice, and it captures my emotion at a time in which I have never felt better about my mind, body, heart & soul. It has helped me honor my past and look forward to an amazingly bright future. I am both humbled and excited to spend many more years with you all on this beautiful planet. While 38 was one for the mental record books, I am confident that 39 will be my best yet.
Thank you for listening.

Here is the first track of a new project of mine. Ben Obee and I wrote this song a few years ago and it sat on my hard drive until Nikki Wright took it and gave it new life. Enjoy.
Vocals: Nikki Wright Production: Gene Lee & Ben Obee
Lyrics:
A seed Floret received from the lion A hazy cloud as I think back Her wings were white, His blood was black.
She flew Yet stood most tall, the Queen of Enshrouding all we were (trapped) Her song she warned us, We should capture And heed her every last word
Don't fight, you can't stay away Long night won't hide the light of day
His chains take hold, invisible But slaves can't beg to be resold
Love not the panacea in your hands He'll tend to wounds received within the blight
Dark as the night, his heartless soul Once a glowing star, but now it's growing old Radiation fighting to sustain its hold Cold as the Arctic ice, his tricks I'm polarized but deny his fix Lies ferment, I'm fighting this descent Won't let my heart be spent
The Sphinx, wish I had known her words were sane I played another pawn within a Savage game Begging the usurper, "Please, stake ya claim" A fool to let him course through my skin His eyes, a high any addict lets in The haze? It hides the nuance in my thoughts Lady, I know the riddle not.
