I really didn't think I'd be DJing again this much after having quite a bit of trouble with my health over the past seven years. BUT, back in December, I seemingly climbed out of a dark hole and have been playing pretty much non-stop every weekend since, culminating in this last EPIC weekend at Wicked Woods Music Festival! What a beautiful way to not only end the summer, but also mark a beautiful return to the music festival scene. Wicked Woods is held in Fairmont Hot Springs in the Columbia Valley, which is actually where it all began for me back in the late '90s.
I decided to move to Vancouver Island in 2009, and yes, I’ve been back to play, but the last time I was in the Columbia Valley was in 2017! It was so incredibly amazing to see SO MANY buddies at this event. It felt like a real homecoming! I am forever grateful to Tracy Mihajic and Murphy for believing in me and supporting me to show up and rock a two-hour Monday morning set at The Unicorn Lounge! I had the best time! Watching the sun come over the mountains and shine on everyone's faces was such a treat. Thank you to everyone who showed up and shared the Love! I had so many friends surrounding me, it felt like a dream. And, I am always so grateful for the ongoing love and support of my wicked husband, Tony. I likely wouldn't have been able to make it, if not for him. This set is also dedicated to our sweet little Ivan The Cuddler (our cat of 14 years) who sadly passed on the same day that I played this set. We'll miss you buddy but your love will always live on in hearts I hope you enjoy listening to this set as much as I loved dj'ing it! Huge props to all the producers who work tirelessly to make such great music! I'd absolutely love if you'd support this mix by liking, sharing and commenting. It all helps so much!

I had so much fun pulling out some of my fave breakbeat tracks! This was an impromptu, end-of-night, wingin-it, breaks set. I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved playing it!
A group of wicked people came in at the end of the night, at The Nanaimo Bar, and we got DOWN & DOOTY!!! xo sprouT
Hi friends! This is a LIVE House Mix I played this past weekend at Ace Brewing and it was one of many. It's called Fierce & Fragile.
This one is special because these are tracks I've never recorded before. Please keep in mind, this was a casual event where people are talking to me - but I love these songs. So not performing really, mingling and dj'ing... Saving my 2024 tracks for my upcoming events - stay tuned! Much Love ALL WAYS ~ sprouT
I've created the Playlist on Spotify too...
I am SO stoked to have had the opportunity to close out the night at the Waverley Hotel in Cumberland, BC.
I absolutely adore this community. Since I first lived in the Comox Valley (2009-2010), and went to shows at the "Wave", and other events (that I had the honor of being a part of) such as The Big Time Out, the Big Day Up and many more... I have found the people (promoters and dancers alike) to always be super supportive and not a lot of "donkeys' lol, really truly though, my kind of peeps for sure. They are really all about the music! Now that I live here again, it was awesome to see Vig, from Cumlerland Village Works, still at it! It's been great to reconnect with him. I believe that I did meet Ben back in 2009 but I can't remember how... well, anyways, he now has a company called Mt. Eliah (aka Long Shot Events) and one of his latest, big projects, is the Pachena Bay Festival. Him and Vig are responsible for many of the great shows that come to the Waverley. Being a newbie, here (again) in the Comox Valley, it's important that I get myself immersed into the community and thankfully, Ben & Vig started up an event that supports up and coming djs, as well as provides an opportunity for those of us that are new to the area called OPEN DECKS. My hubby caught a few snippets of my set and I've posted it to my Video page I will be adding a second video - of all of the djs from that night and their info. They were all amazing people and I definitely made some new, very good, friends. Plus, met some lovely peeps who stayed until the end for the love of music! I'm so grateful. ᙭O ᔕᑭᖇOᑌT

Ah! It's been a while since I've made an Indie Dance / Nu Disco Mix and to be honest I don't think I have ever done one exclusively just these two genres. In-Joy!
Important Note: on Mixcloud - there is a tiny glitch at the beginning - but this was not recorded on my end - so it's not in the download link... jus'so'ya'know!
I was so honoured to have been invited to dj a set at Artist Chad Depner's Closing Party & Auction at _space - BC's first interchangeable arts & alternative healing centre https://spaceartscentre.com/depner-beauty-isnt-always-pretty Peep Depner on: FB: https://www.facebook.com/chad.depner IG: https://www.instagram.com/depnerdesigns I went with my gut and these are the tracks that I finally chose. I am feeling a call-back to play more Breaks again and have been loving Bass House ... and of course, as always you'll find some tech, progressive-ish house, a touch of techno and always a remix or 2... Please share a comment or I'd love if you gave me a review on my Facebook Page >>> https://www.facebook.com/djsprouT/ Let Love Rule xo ~ Tammra PS: You rock COVER ART: Chad Depner
Hi Groovers!
Soooo... I've been wanting to complete Pt. 2 of my "Music Is The Answer". These are songs I've wanted to put together since Dec. 2018 -- so my next mix will be tracks from 2019 - but I didn't want these to go unheard... I've decided that I am going back to the way I've always mixed - starting with about 115 BPM- and then journeying through to about 125bpm (likely in 2 parts like this one) - and will be including nu-disco, indie dance, all kind of house and breaks. Yay! I am also enjoying so many different kinds of music and hope to make more mixes for intuitive dance, world music and more. Stay tuned. For mixes right to email inbox with download links >> Subscribe HERE THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LOVE & SUPPORT XOXO ~ sprouT

These songs supported me through a long and painful winter.
They brought life to my limbs and love to my heart.

This mix was intuitively guided by the Spirit of The Eagle for a themed event on Self-Leadership. When I sense into Self-Leadership for myself I think of an animal like the Eagle. You might find a different animal to join you on this journey. Explore that and have fun with it. The songs are a mix of songs I was drawn to on YouTube and then mixed with Garage Band on my laptop.
"All these energies [the 5Rhythms: flow, staccato, chaos, lyrical, stillness] come together in you. In your deepest center, you are the stillpoint. You are the rhythm beyond stillness, the feeling beyond compassion, the sexual energy beyond celibacy, the life force beyond death, the vibration beyond inspiration.The moving center is within you.” ~ Gabrielle Roth — Maps to Ecstasy How to use this mix
The Dance (some ideas if this is your first time) - Beginning with the singing bowls allows us to slow our movements into flow and also root into rooting. - Connecting with our heart-centre, the place of love and trust, we can begin to trust ourself to guide us on the dancing path and ask: how do I move at my core? - As we find ourselves rooting and flowing- we can begin to open like a flower - Hearing the Eagle calls can give us a birds eye view and we can let ourselves fly - In the last song ask: How can I build a shrine for all things Self-leadership - how does this translate into movement? The Tracklist
Today was the Women's March around the world. Some women / people have the freedom and privilege and health to march, some don't. Thank you to everyone who keeps fighting and praying for my right to be a female dj (and to feel safe- which hasn't always been the case) - this is for all youz.
This was my first time recording on the new DDJ SX2 controller - I have played and recorded my mixes on turntables (since the late 90's) - but I couldn't link this crazy new machine to my controller vinyls w/o a certain added pak- so here you go--- my first time recording on this cd controller, even though I have hardly played / practised on it. This was my first take and didn't edit anything. I found it to be a lot of fun. I journey through Deep / Tech and Electro House, Breaks & Glitch Hop I simply want to share the music. I always want to dance. XOXOXO ~ TAMMRA aka sprouT

xo ~ Tammra Magic Carpet Ride + Darkness Falls - Best of Electro House Pt. 1 & 2 - Mixed by dj sprouT10/30/2016
Oh that felt so good!!! I just spent 4.5 hours dj'ing and made 2 "Best Of Electro House" mixes.
I think Electro House is so perfect for Halloween and this time of year. It can be fun but it's usually a little eery and sometimes quite heavy and dark. These are all my 5 Star tracks ranging from the years 2006 to 2016! Many of them floor fillers. Alas, I am an artist so they can't all be club tunes. Oo, so many goodies in here. The first one is 120-125 bpm and is 1.4 hours, and the second one is 125-127 bpm and is 2.2 hours!!! I have at least one more to do, maybe 2 because who knew I had so many electro house tracks? PLUS, I bought 5 more new tracks today! I couldn't help it. This is like paint for artists, for me. This doesn't include the 4 hours on Saturday organizing my serato crates. I am so excited to mix more "Best Of" mixes and once I rinse out all this farty and fun Electro House, up next will be Indie Dance, then Nu Disco then Breaks baby! Then it will be a new year!
