Here is the first of the DJ sets I played this year at Nowhere 2009. Not the first I played this year in the Monegros desert, but probably the one where I had more fun playing. Enjoy the very funky and uplifting 2hrs sunset session (8-10PM) I played at the new amazing Belgian barrio KosmoZoo. I kicked the DJ set off with a very funky deep house tune I really love, then jumped immediately into Chicago house, mostly exploring the production of UK-based house label Soul Revolution, that I have recently discovered on BandCamp. At around half set I moved to UK garage and bass music, I dropped some afro-jamaican-brazilian percussions, and I finally closed the set with a bit of progressive deep house tunes. The final part of the set has been epic, a desert classic. A night dust storm was approaching, while the sunset painted the sky in reds and blacks, and the first drops of rain started coming down. Meanwhile, the KosmoZoo crew was protecting speakers and electronics from rain and securing tarps from the wind, I was playing a remixed version of Nathan Fake’s “The Sky was Pink”, and everybody kept dancing until the end of the set. Loved it. Stay tuned, as I will be releasing all other Nowhere 2019 DJ sets soon!

Not the average 420 session, that generally comes all mellow and “smokey beats”. This time, at the recent Barcelona Burning Bash Weekend BBB 2017, I just decided to go with massive beats – from gangsta rap to techno with some good bass music too, just what the crowd packing the dancefloor needed! And of course all of the songs (or most of them anyway) celebrate 420! Rastafari!

My three DJ sets at the Barcelona Burning Bash Weekend (also and even better known as BBB) are immediately available online by popular demand. Over the last months, while I have been recording all my DJ sets, I never had the time to actually timecode them, upload them to MixCloud, and create the relative blog posts. But this time here they are, merely one week after the event, and all three of them! So here we go, a deep techno set with some rave, old school moments, one morning dance set for a crowd who still wanted to keep grooving, and a sweet afternoon set in the sun by a pool – all in the same blog post, for faster sharing! One technical note: since we had some problens with acoustics at the main stage of BBB, the sets played there have very little bass – I guess you can fix that manually by pumping the bass up in your device. The poolside set has a more balanced sound, and very chilly dance tunes. Enjoy them all! =) BURNINGMAX LIVE @ BBB 2015 :: RAVING IN THE NIGHT BY A MAGIC CASTLE This is actually the first of my DJ sets at BBB 2015. My only nightime set for the weekend, so I pushed some pretty massive tunes, most of them new, so it’s been kind of a warm-up session but it worked fine. The bass is not really at its best for the same limitations we had with the sunshine set. Enjoy! DJSET PLAYLIST :: Two Birds (Original Mix) – Kolsch :: Holographic Universe – Leftwing +...
