Have you tried liquid drum and bass for breakfast? It’s delicious! Try it with a mimosa cocktail or with a bloody mary, depending on your hungover state! =) I love liquid drum and bass, with its “logical progression” bass, its jungle beat and a bit of grime mixed up in a good measure. Liquid drum and bass tunes are beautiful, dreamful, uplifting. Soulful, luscious, sexy. A bit cheesy sometimes, specially on the lyrics and some piano or horns melodies, but it does its job delivering progressive bliss, and keeping pumping on the dancefloor. This is my very last at Nowhere 2017, 2 early morning hours that flew by smoothly. After my actual last closing set on Saturday night, when we had to respect sound policy and to switch off our Function One racks at 7AM, I’ve plugged the exit of my Traktor controller into a Minirig speaker and served some liquid drum and bass for breakfast to the last ravers who still want to keep dancing. Because we neverfuckingstop, remember? =) This year at Nowhere I’ve been playing every day, including before and after the official festival dates, and I selected 5 sets to share, those with mostly new tracks, and with different styles. I will be sharing the other Nowhere DJ sets soon, stay tuned! One technical note about this liquid drum and bass set: since I played this set on small speakers without a proper subwoofer, and switching from Funktion One, I’ve “pumped up” the bass from my controller. It worked, but I had to clean a bit the sound from the recorded session, as the bass...

I haven’t played much live this year, but I’ve been stacking up tons of massive tunes. Last month I figured out that I’ve been listening to plenty of great music that I’ve never shared with anybody else, and what’s worst is that I didn’t even tried to pass it on decks. So I said “Fuck it, let’s empty the summer crates on Traktor and see what happens”. What happened was that the selection alone took almost an entire month… and I ended up with three different mix, even if more than 90% of the tunes didn’t made the selection. Bummer. Anyway, there’s enough music to keep everybody happy: 4 hours of relaxing electronica, 2 hours of uplifting dance music, and further 90 minutes of massive beats – music for all tastes! Since the whole idea started with a “Fuck it” (without the hypocrisy of the asterisks), the decision about the name of this multiple studio DJ set was immediate: introducing Burningmax’s F Trilogy! Take it personally or not, I hope you enjoy it. Do not forget to check out also the other two mixes, Chill the Fuck Out and Fuck Off and Rave – in the mean time, enjoy a couple of hours of dancefloor, and “shut the fuck up and dance”!
