A High BPM Detroit inspired raw and deep techno mix.

The audio begins a minute or so into the set already because I decided to record the set in the spur of the moment. 

Big shout to all the artists featured on this set whose mixes I've spent endless hours consuming, and all the local DJs whose shows I’ve been to.

If you made it all the way through to the end, let me know what you think of the closing track, it's one of my favourites!

ĀMAN @ home: fast, hard and groovy

My third official DJ set for you listening pleasure. 

I have been getting into House music of all kinds a lot recently after touring some underground festivals here in BC. Been super inspired by local DJs and friends who have turned me on further to this genre of music. 

I had a lot of fun crafting, creating and playing, especially after I got over the early nerves and just settled into the flow!

The set has a blend of deep house and progressive house with a switch towards Italo disco (or as I like to call it Space disco) towards the end. 

Hope you enjoy!

Had the honour of opening up for Atroxx, ROUSZ and KASH at Vantek the other night, a night of relentless, driving techno. 

Big shouts to Zen Den and Electric Love for making it happen.

I played some deep, dark, swirly, psychedelic techno with elements of dub and acid peppered in. 

Opening on the night allowed me the chance to experiment with the slower side of techno -- something I’ve only recently discovered, and really started loving listening to, and mixing. 

The focus was to keep the vibe flowing while not going too hard and just allowing people to wander in and sway until it was time to start shuffling harder. I had a lot of fun playing and the support I recieved on the night was wild.

There's a couple of times through the set where the audio jumps back/repeats itself and the sound quality wavers. This is an issue with the recording file. 

It was a blast to finally make my debut at Vantek, and a great learning experience. Hope you enjoy listening to the set

A very chill, vibey, daytime house set I played in the autumn. Perfect weather, immaculate vibes.

I was the opening set of the evening, and so went for something relaxing, deep and groovy to draw people in and chill out to as the party got going.

Had a blast coming up with this very vibey house music mix.

Hope you enjoy!

ĀMAN on decks: a house afternoon

I love exploring house music as much as I do techno. 

The process always begins with the idea of wanting to play something new, and then begins the journey to find songs, and build a set list that flows. 

This time I tried steering towards the deeper, more minimal side of house, peppering in some breaks (because how could I not!)

The goal was to create a chill, warm, inviting vibe. 

This is a long one, but perfect to have on in the background for any kind of day or night if you want something easy to listen to and get your feet moving a wee bit :)

ĀMAN on decks: deep and vibey

A few weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of playing at one of my really good friend's birthdays. 

The set up -- the sound system, and venue -- was exceptional, and I had a blast exploring and playing a different kind of sound. 

I decided to play at a much lower bpm than I normally do -- exploring the 115-120 range, -- but in keeping with my vibe of wading through the deep, dark and psychedelic sounds, stumbled upon this bouncy blend of genres. 

This was probably the most fun I've ever had playing a set, you can see my thoroughly enjoying myself as I shuffle around behind the decks. 

This mix has a diverse set of tunes across indie dance (which I like to call space disco), electro, deep, and progressive house. 

The power went out just before the end of my set, so it ended abruptly, but we were able to capture most of the recording. 

Hope you enjoy!

Wow. Hard to find words to describe what went down at Vantek. 

So much going on in my head prior to taking stage, but as soon as I went on and pressed play, things just flowed so well. 

It was surreal to play in front of these many people, and boy did I feel the pressure to deliver. Raves after all are a collective experience, and I felt that it was my duty to give the crowd a bit of decadent joy that they deserved. 

This was my second show at Vantek; an incredible night that will live forever in my memory. 

There is nothing more fun than to play techno, and with this set I got to explore the broad spectrum of music that falls within this category. 

This mix, -- which covers a whole range of sound including deep, acid, and driving techno and even some light trance, and old school dark tech house -- was inspired by so many artists and producers' sets I've listened to over the last few years: Aurora Halal, Wata Igarashi, Kia, Deep Creep, Derrick Vnuk, Popu, and Finitymind to name just a few.

Hope you tune in and enjoy!

Hyperbolic Chamber #1: deep hypnosis with ĀMAN

Opening the night really allows me to explore the deeper side of techno (a subgenre I have fallen in love with), and so for this set at Vantek, playing for Ride the Rave, I was really able to tap into this obsession and bring forward tracks I have been aching to perform with. 

Besides playing tracks reminiscent of the sound of artists I have grown to admire (Aurora Halal, Christopher Ledger among so many more), I wanted to bring in some rave music -- long, 90s inspired, trance sounds -- that to me is "peak" rave. Dance music you can just close your eyes to, and groove and move until infinity. 

While the recording is just over an hour, my set was for an hour and half, and seeing as Ride the Rave nights are known for their hard, no-nonsense techno, I tried my best to set the night up for the DJs to follow. 

I felt I was able do that, while still throwing in a couple of bangers to let the crowd sink their teeth in and move their feet a bit. 

This set meant the absolute world to me, and I hope it comes through to when you give it a listen!
