I recently had the opportunity to DJ SpreeFest 2026, the wrap party for Outdoors for All Foundation’s annual fundraiser at The Summit at Snoqualmie, closing out a full day on the mountain with a crowd that had already given a lot — and still had plenty of energy left.
I played right after a fantastic 80’s band, The Suds, who had the crowd exactly where you’d want them — singing hard to their favorite 80’s tunes and full of energy. By the time the after party started, people had already spent the day out on the mountain, but this crowd was amped and ready to go!
A great cause behind the party
Spreefest is Outdoors for All’s largest winter fundraiser, supporting their mission of providing outdoor recreation opportunities for children and adults with disabilities.
It’s a full-day event, powered by a small army of volunteers, with ski and snowboard demos, race events, auctions, and a steady stream of people moving through the hill all day. There’s a lot going on, and it all builds toward the same thing — a community that really shows up for what this organization does.
This year’s event raised over $138,000 — an incredible showing from a group of people who care deeply about Outdoor’s for All’s mission and the people this program benefits.
The mix
The event planner for Spreefest wanted me to play a pumping, high-energy set to close out the day. Man, that was the right call because this crowd was ready to party!
This recording is a 30 minute section that captures this high energy start and shows the way I love moving between genres and tempos to keep things interesting.
I leaned hard into that high-energy feel with dance floor with bangers like Born This Way, I Love It, and Levitating — the kind of songs that always hit. You can only maintain that energy level for a bit before you wear everyone out, so I pulled a big tempo shift mix that I did live — moving from Raye’s Where Is My Husband at 120bmp to that new Bruno Mars jam, I Just Might at 103bpm. This kind of change of direction can make a huge difference in keeping people on the floor.
From there, I moved into hip-hop and Latin with tracks like Yeah! and Bad Bunny gave the set some range. Bad Bunny is absolute fire after his Super Bowl performance. The recorded mix runs through that section and into tracks like Calabria and Fireball, which is where this recording ends.Â
Enough chatter – let’s get to the music!
