Spread The Groove x Sloppe - Balthazar Martinez, Prince Of Deptford & Luc - 25 Feb 2023

A very special one, the set we did and recorded with @trularisa & Bogdan, playing btbtb at this lovely house party in Bucharest, with a huge, loud soundsystem, and dozens of very sweet souls joining us and dancing all night long.. Can’t be thankful enough to count you as friends guys and for this trip you offered us with Eodisia in Romania.

Huge thanks to @refugeworldwide as well, without whom I wouldn't have meet you.

Here are few snippets, the set is online on SoundCloud, link is in my profile bio.

Theses few hours are representing everything I love about sharing musically, and crafting all together as deejays. This art has been unfortunately too much discredited during the past years, because of media misinterpretation, surely not having enough knowledge about it or the chance to be properly initiated to it.. And of course people using it more as a business model, or seeking fame.. but l'm not saying anything new, a lot of us knows already..

Long post I know, just telling it with my words and my English which is not perfect, but I guess I just wanted to remind kindly and humbly, that music, sharing and giving to others is the center of everything regarding this craft, and should be for everyone, the one and only most important thing ever..

Seeing all these smiles, forgetting everything and being happy during few hours is our greatest reward.

Big hug and thoughts to my friend and mentor @shark6, from whom I learned so much. You will love this set ❤️

6 hours of pure bliss. We went in a lot of directions, with my dear @holoofficial! This one was really about fun and being careful of what was happening in the room, following the energy, the crowd, on the loud and massive sound system of Wintergarten, with hundreds of souls dancing and smiling around us, from the beginning till the end.

Thank you @sisyphos-berlin, thank you Bruno and Wintergarten staff for the warm welcome and the good care as always!
