Why Bam Vol 3 - The Chillout Session

Rumours were abuzz on the island.. word on the beach was that the mysterious Eggnut was to be the special guest DJ flying in to close the mythical secret festival known as Magic Beach. As a close personal friend of Eggnut I can reveal that he did in fact parachute in from his orbital satellite home, telepathically controlling the decks throughout the descent until crash landing right into the DJ booth wearing a ridiculous hat consisting of spinning disco glitter painted nuts that was hand made by a gaggle of gorgeous beach goddesses. He then blew the festival away with Rachmaninov level keyboard chops played live on a toy melodica over a mindblowing 3 hour set of blazing sunrise beats and beautifully layered soundscapes with a one eyed pirate rocking the egg shaker and TwinZilla rocking the mic . Here is the set.. get a listen to the legend…!!!

DJ Eggnut live at Magic Beach Festival 2015

After 8 months travelling on different shores the memories of playing those wonderful parties of last season still linger warmly in my soul,  resonating across time and space the sheer joy and love we all created there together, so I felt excited to be back on my favourite beach in the world last week where I recorded this 2 hour mix. Opening with deep and mysterious delicately enveloping grooves and building into a vortex of pumping techno influenced progressive, we come to a gentle close with some warm and organic tropical influenced vocal house. Close your eyes and be transported… with the wind and the waves… back to the beach…

Why Nam Vol 5 - Back To The Beach

Why Nam LemonFest:

After a beautiful afternoon of sparkles, glitter, face painting, sacred spanking, contact dancing and lots and lots of lemons I took the reins to steer the sunlit beach on a four hour journey through funky disco, slinky catgrooves, tropical island bass and uplifting progressive…  A snake line of dancing bodies on the shoreline under the setting sun and the rising full moon is an unforgettable memory of my favourite gig of the year so far…

Why Nam Vol 6 - Lemon Fest

For the heart opening wedding of my dear friends and fellow globe trotting DJ's Wild Sirenda (check out their Soundcloud!)I was honoured to be asked to play at the post ceremony beach party and what a party it was! Hundreds of sparkly, costumed and joyful friends dancing late into the night on a gorgeous tropical beach was a love bomb that will resonate long in the memory of all who were lucky enough to be there. This was not the moment to play it cool and drop all the newest tunes in the armoury, but the time to bring smiles to faces with island anthems from seasons gone, sing a long moments, cheeky edits of dance floor favourites, energetically twisted bass tech workouts and then finally bring it all home with some warm and deep vocal house... Relive the most magical wedding set of the year.. for lovers and dancers all over the world!

Wild Sirenda Lovebomb

For this final saturday session of the season we started softly with some chilled soulful beach vibes, before taking a wistful meander through some classic edits courtesy of Late Nite Tuff Guy, a legendary producer from my hometown. As the hot afternoon started to give way to a slinky evening we dipped briefly into some Tropical House and spaced out Progressive and then as the dancefloor ignites one last time shift up the gears and accelerate into the vortex… 
Thank you Why Nam for another mind blowing season.. 
We will be back together again soon!

Why Nam Vol 7

My first time playing at this perfectly formed boutique festival in Bulgaria was an unforgettable experience. Deep in the heart of the Rhodopes mountains surrounded by ancient forests and lush meadows blooming with spring flowers I played on Saturday night in a colourful moroccan tent once owned by Naomi Campbell (!) on a DJ booth we built out of scrap wood… and what a jam it was!! By midnight the tent was packed with the most colourful and sparkly happy dancing souls and what was supposed to be a 2 hour set was just too good to end and I end up playing 6+ hours until we literally ran out of diesel for the generator… 
Warming up with some soulful disco edits to soundtrack the gorgeous misty sunset and get the dancefloor grooving we then took a meander through some classic vocal house anthems before firing off some bass heavy bouncy garage bangers at which point the entire dancefloor literally exploded into squidgy fireworks of joy (or at least that’s what I remember).. Now that we were in full flow it was time to unleash some uplifting progressive techno and go full power into twisted bass and soaring synths, touching into some nudisco and deep house before touching down into my favourite genre, Island Bass..  
I’m sure I will be back at this amazing event next year.. but until then, enjoy this set which I think is one the best I’ve ever played.. and if this doesn’t get you dancing by the end then you need to check your pulse because you may be clinically dead!!!

Meadows In The Mountains

My last night in Thailand and one final gig to play at the legendary beachside venue Merkaba.. I was excited to be playing the sunset slot to a colourful and joyful crew of dancers, performers and islanders dancing in the pool next to the DJ booth and bathing in the warm sunkissed waters of the gulf of Thailand. A tougher set than what I usually play,  I dropped some big bass heavy house, melodic techno and a couple of solid gold classics from years gone by.. it was a suitable sendoff for another memorable season on my favourite island in the world! Until next year...!
