A bit about the inspiration for this mix - the full text and the tracklist are at https://djsolitare.com/old-dogs-new-tricks

I recall an amazing Equinox event in the Autumn of 1995 where Kuni played the whole night and the impression was that a cloud of quantum information would enter the dance floor in the middle of the forest and when it had communicated its message, another would come in and take its place as the old one left, and there was a moment to catch your breath and adjust to the new data entering the space. At times during these events, one had the impression that the music was not music, it was geometrical design and information that was communicating in sonic form. There wasn’t the sense that the DJ was a ‘DJ’ playing ‘music’: rather, the DJ booth was like a cosmic radio tower with an antenna tuned into outer space, picking up signals and transmitting them to those gathered in this tribal gathering.

Each time I play a set, the type of storyline and style of tracks are different, and my approach to transitions depends on track selection and how things line up, though there are general parameters that I always aim for. As a result of my classical training, my emphasis when mixing has been to try to connect more than just the kick but to find matching patterns between tracks and to blend those to create a thread of continuity beyond the percussive elements, at times with kick-matching and at other times not. Usually, it’s a combination of the two, but keeping the rhythm consistent and aiming to have one track ‘hand over’ the space to the next one in a less conventional sense, like multiple speakers reading different chapters from a book that one absorbs through the set.

As I tuned into the more hypnotic and nighttime storyline that emerged as this set evolved, I was drawn to more of that atmospheric cloud-like mixing style, where one track dances with the next along harmonic, rhythmic, and upper-register elements as opposed to the bass-level kick. As I listened with headphones, I was able to let go of the technical focus of the ‘mixing' of two ‘tracks’ and rekindle some of those early impressions of this music being more than just music but combinations of patterns gathered together and presented through sound waves, hearing things not in left-right, high-low mode but all-at-once, like voices coming both from the speakers and the centre of one’s head.

I believe that as we have gotten used to listening to this music at clubs and events over the years, many of us have adapted to a sense-based linear perception of what we’re hearing as opposed to a more embodied dimensional experience, and we can easily listen with a set of standards that can be mechanical rather than holistically musical. I know this has been the case for me, and listening at home can have its pitfalls, as you get used to hearing the music outside of the contextual space for which it was created, and on speakers whose size are inverse proportion to your body than what they would be at an event. But in the right outer and inner space, we can hear these sounds beyond the framework of the familiar and as an expression of something quite outside the ordinary.

All of us experienced some magic in our early years of attending these events - and sometimes since, too! - and it is my hope that these classic tracks in this storyline will enable some of those to be rekindled as they have for me.

Hey Everyone❤️
52 days have passed since that Black Saturday.
The day so many of us lost friends, family, partners, loved ones. I lost my parents, and I don’t think it will ever fully sink in.

I want to share a story that I’m only now able to return to.
A few months before October 7th, I got a call from Naor Levi (DJ AudioPhiller).
He told me that he and his friends from 604 Freaks Records in Portugal had been enjoying my sets and wanted to talk.

Eventually, we had a call full of music, stories, connection, and love.
Naor and the label asked me to record a Goa/Retro set – a sort of welcome set to their family.
We kept playing at the same events over the summer, sometimes before or after one another – always with joy.

I finally found time to record the set, carefully selecting 20 tracks close to my heart.
That recording happened exactly one week before October 7th.
Naor and I agreed I’d send it to him on Sunday, October 8th – right after his weekend set at Unity and Nova Festival.
I had sent him the tracklist, but the set… we said, “after Saturday.. after Nova Festival.”

Just a few days before that dark Saturday, I visited my parents in Kibbutz Be’eri and told them about the label and about Naor.
They had always been part of my musical journey, front row at my sets – proud and present.

Then came the massacre of October 7th💔
My parents were murdered in Kibbutz Be’eri in the morning hours,
and Naor was murdered at the same time on his way to the Nova festival, outside the kibbutz where my parents lived.

Naor never got to hear the set.
My parents never got to see it released.
But I promised I would still share it – with them, to heaven.
And now, I’m finally doing that.

This set is dedicated to all those we lost – and especially to my dear parents and to Naor.
If old-school Goa sounds can bring you a moment of comfort, I hope this set does that.
Tracklist below. 
Much love. 🙏🏽❤️

I made this mix 2020 and it was supposed to be streamed on a radio show. 
I lost it but have now found it on a usb behind my desk. 
Its a psychadelic downtempo thats going in to a full on forest style mix. Hope you will enjoy it. 

Groovy

raw record from my first ever DJ set - who took place at the mountain people event last week somewhere in the desert... 
I played a "goa" psychedelic trance set between 01:00-03:00 AM - as a person who likes to party himself i find the night time more "attractive" and interesting with his psychedelic darkish sounds - "a realm of the unknown" ... i was honored to play in the middle of the night - and ive tried my best to create an atmosphere of non compromising lunatic sounds that make you feel like your dancing with demons ... 
hope you will enjoy.... 
(recommended with a full wine glass & a spliff) ;))
