I didn’t write this before the set. I couldn’t.
I had six hours of music curated, but this wasn’t the kind of set you plan down to the second. This was a story that needed to be told in the moment, with every track chosen by feeling—by reading the room, channeling the energy, listening to my ancestors.

When the music began, I let it guide me.

The Beginning – A Clash of Worlds

It started with “The Clique”—the sound of history colliding. African people stolen from their lands, forced onto ships, while Indigenous people in Brazil watched their world change. Their land was no longer theirs, and a violent collision of cultures began.

From that pain came “Keyta,” a Mandinka name meaning leadership—a call for someone to rise, even in chains. African strength pulsed through the track, resilient and unbroken.

Then came “Ahora,” the moment cultures began to mix. Portuguese, African dialects, and Indigenous tongues collided into something new. Brazil began to take form.

“Bonita” arrived like a slow, hypnotic sway. European fascination with Brazilian women’s beauty and sensuality—a force of nature that demanded admiration.

The energy shifted with “Ana,” honoring the Indigenous Curandeiros—the healers connected to the Earth. This track carried the whispers of the Amazon, the spirits of ancient rituals.

From history came “Taka Tuko,” a Bantu-Swahili mantra blending Afro-Brazilian, Indigenous, and Latin cultures, opening a spiritual portal where new life emerged.

The New World Takes Shape

The techno wave hit with “Along Came Polly” (Zac Brazilian DJ remix), propelling Brazil’s evolution into the future—tradition and innovation hand in hand.

Before we lost ourselves in the future, we remembered the Four Elements—Earth, Wind, Water, Fire. Brazil, blessed with fertile lands, was planted with seeds of many cultures, growing into something unstoppable.

Then came “Diwali,” a celebration of unity across religions—Indigenous, African, Catholic, Spiritist. In Brazil, belief is a blend of everything.

The Shadows That Linger

But the story of Brazil isn’t only joy. “Gospel” came in heavy, reminding us of forced conversions, Catholic oppression, and massacres. Yet, the spirit of the Indigenous people never died.

Then “Ta Da Da”  carried us forward—the sound of diverse voices trying to sing the same song (metaphoric embracing each other's culture), harmonizing into survival.

As the connection grows, It was time for "Samba". The drums, the heartbeat of Brazil. A rhythm that survived slavery and defied oppression, embodying freedom, spirit, and Carnaval.

With “Solitude,” I honored African roots—Candomblé, Umbanda—the spiritual fusion that held Brazil together. This wasn’t just music; it was ancestral memory.

Then came “Blinding Lights,” “Dope Dance”— Brazil’s wild, unstoppable spirit. No longer divided—just one, no divisions, we all become 1.

“Um Manna” grounded us in sacred rituals, from the past, the cosmos, the infinite, the extraterrestial connections, from Matchu Picchu and sacrede spots in south america where we recived information from other galaxies.

Carnaval, Love, and the Final Release

“French Kiss” brought Carnaval’s sensuality, the ecstasy of touch and rhythm, with lança perfume in the air, where bodies dance, touch and connect. “Si Quieres” fused Latin sensuality with techno, inviting us to dance and lose ourselves in life’s rhythm.

And finally, “Kak Nikogda” took us on one last journey, inspired by Röyksopp’s haunting landscapes.

Then, “Capricorn - 20 Hz.” The peak. The climax. Melodic techno meeting Escola de Samba drums. The ultimate release.

The Journey Ends, but the Music Lives On

This set was more than music. It was a story—pain, resilience, oppression, and triumph. Brazil—wild, beautiful, chaotic, unstoppable

And in that moment, playing for Fox & Badge Carnivalentines, I wasn’t just DJing. I was channeling something beyond myself

For that, I am endlessly thankful - muito obrigada 

yours trully Dayane Leanddro

CAROLES - LIVE @ FOX&BADGE LONDON

Set recorded live at the Carnivalentines edition of the Fox&Badge party on 14th February 2025 in London.

A melodic DJ set specially crafted to bring a bit of Brazilian spirit to the Carnivalentines edition. It mixes the essence of Rio Carnival with the hypnotic vibe of techno, which is the heart of the event. 

I played a blend of Brazilian Afro House with touches of Umbanda and original productions from various producers in our country, representing Carnival, the most authentic party in Brazil.

This party was a very personal experience for me: after 18 years in my career, I’d never experienced anything like it. It was such a special night, where everyone had their own unique energy and every person was, in their own way, the star of the party! No matter where you went, the energy exchange was intense and mutual, something hard to forget.

I feel incredibly privileged to have been an active part of this event. 

Long live the Fox&Badge community!!

CAROLES - LIVE @ FOX&BADGE LONDON

Set gravado ao vivo na edição Carnivalentines da festa Fox&Bagde dia 14 de fevereiro de 2025 em Londres. 

Um dj set melódico pensado especialmente para trazer brasilidade para a edição Carnivalentes. Trazendo a essência do carnaval carioca sem perder a essência hipnótica do techno, característico do evento. Apresentei uma mescla de afro house brasileiro com pitadas de umbanda e produções autorais de diversos produtores do nosso país, representando o Carnaval, a festa mais autêntica do Brasil. 

Essa festa foi uma experiência pessoal para mim: após 18 anos de carreira eu nunca tinha vivido nada igual, foi uma festa muito especial onde cada pessoa tinha uma energia única e todas individualmente eram a estrela da festa! Por onde você andava a troca de energia era intensa e mútua, algo díficil de esquecer.  

Me sinto uma grande privilegiada em ter feito parte ativa desse evento, vida longa a comunidade Fox&Badge!!

Caroles - Live @ Fox&Badge London_

Vor lauter Heißhunger, hat Hophiluck kurzerhand für uns alle einen leckeren Hauptgang mitgekocht und serviert seine Leibspeise: Deftiger Peaktime & Driving Techno-Auflauf mit aromatisch würzigen Kicks, treibend cremiger Sauce verfeinert, ergeben eine Synergie der Sinne, sodass die Schmackofatz-Schnute, einem begeistertem Bassface gleicht. Ein bewährtes Rezept und doch, jedes Mahl anders. Der Spacefaktor beim Genuss ist auch hör- & schmeckbar. Das Ohr isst ja bekanntlich mit oder so ähnlich... In diesem Sinne: schmecken bassen & fürs schöne Wetter nicht vergessen aufzuessen! <3 

Tausend Dank an @hophiluck für diesen Leckerbissen! :-)

IN HOLE

AndrewzVee - The Void Calls (Original Mix)

Following the immense success of his "Pressure" EP and the chart-topping "Reflections" contribution to EXTIMA's 10x10 compilation, Luis M returns with yet another powerful addition to the label's catalogue — "Fragmented."

Staying true to his unique sonic identity, the Portuguese maestro delivers a hypnotic minimal techno weapon infused with subtle psy-trance energy. "Fragmented" unfolds with razor-sharp precision, driven by a rolling groove that pulses with understated power. Dark, immersive atmospheres are crafted through bold synth stabs and delicately placed percussive textures, while Luis M's signature clean and spacious production gives the track a commanding presence on any system.

The genius of "Fragmented" lies in its simplicity — every element serves a purpose, drawing the listener into a swirling soundscape that's both cerebral and floor-focused. Whether you're deep in a late-night warehouse session or opening a peak-time set with something deeper and moodier, "Fragmented" proves once again why Luis M is a cornerstone of EXTIMA's forward-thinking techno vision.
