Yesterday I published a live DJ set that is tied to one of my saddest memories in DJing, but good thing I also have good ones. Like the day that I decided to explore the entire production of Suara Music, a Barcelona-based independent label that is, as they say on their website, “all about music and cats”. As a matter of fact, all the releases artwork of Suara feature a cat, some of them pretty wild – I love it! (Yes, I love cats too). Suara Music is run by Coyu, one of my favorite artists, often featured as producer or remixer on the tracks I play in my mixes and DJ sets – sooner or later I’ll remix one of his tracks, promised! I love the Suara sound, so I decided to pay a tribute to the Barcelona label by playing a full DJset mixing only Suara Music releases. And of course the cover I created for the mix is also pretty “inspired” by Suara records’ artwork. Enjoy! Meuw!

My closing DJ set for the Burning Man-inspired Go Animal party at the Ice Cube Club in Zurich. Unfortunately, this is one of my saddest memories in DJing, as it will remind me forever of a very bad discussion I had with my girlfriend right at the end of the DJ set, that ended up in a broke-up – and now I feel so miserable I wish I never been to Zurich to play the gig. The trance-infused techno mix of this DJset is actually pretty awesome, so I hope that at least it will make someone happy – just not me. Not this time. =( BURNINGMAX LIVE 22 :: :: GO ANIMAL ZURICH :: DJ SET TRACKLIST :: :: E-Doser – Popof :: Let’s Take Drugs (Cedric Gervais Remix) – George Morel :: Riff Machine (Mladen Tomic Remix) – Bass Kleph :: Black Sheep – Samuel Dan :: Bang Your Head – Riton :: Nivanoise – Circles :: Front Pocket (Nicole Moudaber Remix) – Sian + Mladen Tomic :: AITU (Jokers of the Scene Remix) – Jokers of the Scene :: Banga – Spada :: Techno Raw – Coyu + Ramiro Lopez :: Kissive – Ramiro Lopez :: Hope She Ain’t Late (Teva’s CPH Remix) – Samuel Dan :: Bad Photocopy of a Big Saw – Pan-Pot :: Mr. Drive (Original Mix) – Hot Since 82 :: Tammo Chanter (Mark Reeve Remix) – Gary Beck :: My Thing (Original Mix) – George Morel Liked my Go Animal Zurich DJ set?

Burning Night Paris is, in my opinion, the best Burning Man party in Europe, being even more intense than London Decompression, and also for the awesome location, the world-famous Moulin Rouge in Paris! This year, for the third time in a row, I played the closing DJ set (5-6 AM) from the main stage of the venue, with all my Euroburners friends dancing front stage, and I loved it! Here is my Burning Night Paris DJ set for your dancing pleasure.

It took me a month to finally be able to publish the recording on my closing DJ set at London Decompression 2012. The reason is that my laptop died just a couple of days after the set, and my poor baby has been in the hospital (Apple assistance) until yesterday! A month and 420 Euro later (hey! 420 again!) I finally got it back. And here we are! The title Casualties on the Dancefloor came up while working on the London Decom playlist. “Really? Am I really going for remixed hardcore punk? Jeeee… I’m gonna make some casualties, this is pretty violent…“, but I decided to go for it anyway! I guess this has been the darkest and most violent sound I played live since I dj – I mean, the hard techno or overnoisy track every now and then or the super acid sets are part of the classic trademark sound of Burningmax live, but this is the first time I do a 1 hour 30 minutes set that can make your ears bleed. And I liked it, and people on the dancefloor too. I underestimated the level of aural resistance of the Decom crowd – they actually loved it and neverfuckingstop danced until the end at 6AM, leaving no casualties on the dancefloor at all! Sweet! Now it’s your time to either enjoy it or being a casualty! =) BURNINGMAX LIVE AT LONDON DECOMPRESSION 2012 :: LIVE SET TRACKLIST :: :: Upon Ourselves (Intro) – Argy feat Bajka :: Climb feat.

This is the DJ set I played at MART (Museo di Arte Contemporanea di Rovereto e Trento) last night. The Italian contemporary art museum invited me to play a live set for “Hungry Like The Woolf“, a dance party inspired to Virginia Woolf and the Modernism, which I twisted into a “Angry Like The Woolf” live set. I kicked in with a stripper song, a remixed Ella Fitzgerald and some pimped up electroswing, but pretty soon I moved into the techno rave sounds I feel more comfortable with, and closed the live set by venturing into dubstep and psychedelic electronica, just to throw in a pinch of “dancefloor modernism“. And I had plenty of fun! =) Enjoy, download, and have fun you too! BURNINGMAX LIVE AT MART :: ANGRY LIKE THE WOOLF Are you wondering why I used a cameo for the cover art of the live DJ set?
