"This set is about creating an immersive journey through my personal interpretation of techno. I wanted to start strong right from the beginning with a powerful bassline that immediately sets the tone. Following this, the phenomenal sounds of Alarico and Rødhåd come in to shape the pace and energy I wanted to build.
I always aim to include sharp, cutting sounds combined with deep and driving basslines to keep the mix dynamic and intense. At the same time, I make sure there is always a melodic thread to follow so the flow never breaks and the emotions stay connected. Melodic techno influences from Heiko Laux, DJ Dextro, the subtle percussive elements from Ignez, the unique sound design of the infamous ociralA, and tracks such as “Microdose” by PJJSB complete the journey perfectly.
For the first time on SoundCloud, I have included my own track “Gospel” exclusively within this mix, alongside “Ras Dashen”, which holds a very special place for me.
I wish you a wonderful journey through the spheres of my interpretation of techno and hope you enjoy this ride as much as I enjoyed creating it."
