As we're creeping towards the end of the year, I decided to highlight a new and exciting melodic techno concept;

⁠-l| FROM DUSK TILL DAWN |l-⁠
⁠
I came in contact with one of the founders a while ago through the DHA academy (https://soundcloud.com/deep-house-amsterdam) and I decided to highlight this new and inspiring melodic techno concept.
⁠
FDTD is a first production from the newly formed non-profit organization called Geestdrift, which was created by 4 founders (Julie, Lothar, Matthias and Maxime)
⁠
They mainly focus on melodic techno & progressive house.
The goal is to start giving their genre of music, and young talented artists, a stage to perform. They had a first (private) event in October which sold out after a week and a half. And so far, 2 sold out editions of FDTD were organized, with Beswerda as headliner for the second edition . The third edition will take place on March 18th at Amigo Amigo in Ghent, with again an international headliner who already released on Oddity, Atlant and Eklectisch.

The intention is to organize club nights in the future, do their own parties & next summer an open air at a unique location.
The focus is and always will be quality. They're always going to try to work with people who also produce their own music. On their first event they invited Bröder & Kimman as external DJs, just to give an example.

To highlight the new concept even more, one of their residents (https://soundcloud.com/dvsk_music), who has more than 20 years of experience, made an enchanting guestmix. An excellent mix of relaxing melodic techno, an electro twist and a very nicely balanced dose of danceable melancholic sounds.

“An unseen balance between light and darkness”

Scattering for many years between different underground music genres, this frequency collided with the techno soundscape in 2016, creating an outburst of energy.

Equipped with a rumbling, driving, and unseen dedication to his passion, his journey began...

After he took the Belgian MUSICASA producer’s education, as a first step to pursuing his dream, he quickly released EP's and remixes on melodic techno labels such as SMR Underground, Melodia Records, Tanzgemeinschaft, and Papaya music.

After releasing and performing on various stages, and through the process of producing and self-awareness, he felt the melodic techno genre wasn’t the perfect reflection of what inspired and drove him.

In 2022 he had a change of heart as he started focusing more on
underground hypnotic, atmospheric and ambient techno, reaching for that inner spirit and dynamic balance. This resulted in releases on some of the biggest labels in the hypnotic scene like DORIAN, The Gods Planet, BAHN, Khoros, Informa, Space Textures, Arcadia,... with many more on the way.

Host of the podcast ‘Adjust (BE) Invites’ (2020-2023), he invited numerous DJ’s and Producers to make a signature guest mix, where the DJ/producer is the key element.

For over 130 episodes spreading over 3 years and reaching new listeners each month, the fanbase and mutual respect between colleagues kept growing daily.

In 2023 he started a new and hypnotic/deep-techno-exclusive podcast called ‘Andhera’, which translates to ‘darkness’ in Sanskrit. With every Full Moon or Solar Eclipse, a talented and highly respected DJ/producer creates a unique story.

An artist, hand-picked by himself, whom he highly admires, respects and who empowers and understands techno’s dark, ambient and emotional side.⁠

His style of playing and producing can be described as a perfectly, yet delicate, carved out balance between light and darkness, melancholic and emotionally charged. Cinematic sounds, rich and full of atmospheres, super evocative soundscapes with an inexplicable soul that can only be grasped when fully immersed into it.
