Live Recording of my earlier Set at a friends birthday party in the middle of Darmstadt in the middle of Germany.

--------------

I felt like creating a lounge-like atmosphere, without a certain preferred style oder genre. This is how I started the mix. But at some point people came up to me and friendly asked for a little bit more spice and energy in the beautiful place. I sped the flow up from there a notch and tried to let the groove do the rest.

It worked out I guess, which made me quite happy, because as you might know, I´m more of a podcaster than an action based DJ on any kind of stage. I rarely play in front of people, and therefore am not used to improvise and let the flow and feedback of the audience control the direction of the set. 

As I haven´t seen some of the people in years, I was talking to one or the other while mixing. Therefore please don´t pay too much attention to the transitions. Furthermore it wasn´t that easy for my ruptured ears to mix without monitoring and many people having conversations. I gave my best  and I thought I might as well upload it. 

This mix is about friendship, the love to life, the vibe,
thankfulness in general and 
the appreciation of our creator, lord and saviour!

--------------

Oh, and before I forget:
Happy Birthday and all the best to you dear Aki!

Thank you for the great party. What a nice location, tasty food and lots of good people. 
Also many thanks for the time I was allowed to do architecture with you. I learned a lot from you about the realization of sketches and ideas, the creation of space and especially focusing on details.  

Thanks also and credits to all the great artists played in this mix.

bretfast loves all kind of sounds,
the sun and the clouds,
he is an aware listener and gives credit,
he loves to hear a song or mix progress and evolve, change directions, twist or just flow constantly.

bretfast enjoys making music himself.
not on a professional basis, 
but with admiration and love.

The Way of Love (1. Corinthians 13) 

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 
And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 
If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. 

Love is patient and kind; 
love does not envy or boast; 
it is not arrogant or rude. 
It does not insist on its own way; 
it is not irritable or resentful; 
it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, 
but rejoices with the truth. 

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 
Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away...

...So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; 
but the greatest of these is love.
