The Juan MacLean

Little known fact, I was born in Boston! Well, Dorchester to be specific. Here I am at 19 years old, sometime in the latter half of the 1980’s, with my 1967 Jazzmaster, after emerging from the Boston punk / hardcore scene and defiantly listening to Neil Young and growing my hair long. Kraftwerk, Mission Of Burma, The Swans, DAF, Big Black, Ministry…..all were hero’s that inspired me to make my own music.

I return to the stomping grounds of my youth next Thursday to play the 4 year anniversary of at .cambridge. So happpy has kept this Thursday night tradition alive after decades of so many amazing DJ’s playing this space.

On March 21st and 22nd and I will be bringing two nights of sound journeys to in NYC. Expect a 2 hour (or longer) sound journey that is part prayer, part meditation and part concert, entirely improvised with an ever evolving collection of instruments like flutes, gongs, synthesizers, handpans and loads of other esoteric instruments utilized to bring an atmosphere of novelty and exploration.
The human field is under an enormous amount of stress right now. This is chance to enter into a couple hours of respite and potentially filter out the noise in favor of healing or consciousness expansion or enjoying beautiful and otherworldly sounds.
We limited the number of tickets in order to have space for everyone to lie down. There are still a couple of tickets available for each night but once they sell out we will add more sessions if there’s enough interest.

What a way to close out 2024! I’ll be at on New Years Eve for this ‘Silber Disco Jubilee,’ so honored to be onboard with such an amazing selection of DJ’s and hosts. Much thanks to the .chicago team for having me. Thrilled to be sandwhiched between Derrick Carter and !
This event is sold out but I believe there will be tickets at the door.
