Dyl👽Alien
San Francisco

Music for when you’ve danced all night.

Handrails optional.

Long-form, hypnotic music built for forests, deserts, mountains, and beaches — the hours when the sun is up and nobody is checking the time.

Optimistic surrealism, made for daylight and sunset. Everyone wants the 2am slot. I want the 2pm one.

What I beamed to Earth for

I spent close to twenty years organizing Goa Gil’s 24-hour parties in California — twice a year, every year, often running into a second night. I wrote music for the daytime hours. He played it. I wrote more. Somewhere in there the writing and the parties stopped being separate things.

Everything here grew out of those afternoons. Guardrails off, spirits up, everybody welcome.

Press and booking

Outdoor stages, daylight hours. Give me the afternoon and I’ll give you the set people talk about on their spaceship back to their home planet.

Shows and releases, sent rarely. The best way to hear about a set, since I’d rather you weren’t scrolling at one.
