Ever since Covid ended I started the tradition of welcoming the new year by a fresh DJ set called “Live From The Utopian Void” - two hours of electrifying tunes that showcase the club sounds that excite me right now. It’s meant to spread uplifting vibes in times that feel quite dark - metaphorically and literally. It’s about the uplifting enthusiasm of a good rave, the joint togetherness of the dance and the positive energy it can create. Check them all out right here: https://soundcloud.com/burnout-sumner/sets/live-from-the-utopian-void

Number 4 is now on and it takes you on a fun adventure, starting in the 80s and then taking a housy path into faster floorfiller territory. From less obvious club material by Kontravoid, Neuzeitliche Bodenbeläge and a sombre New Hook rework of Kate Stein to proper contemporary bangers from Anna Lunoe, Barbara Boeing, Octo Octa, Folamour, Mall Grab and Kasper Bjørke plus the inevitable cameo of Bernard Sumner - expect a wild and joyful ride.

If you like what you hear in this set or others on my profile and want to experience it live on a dancefloor or festival near you - you know where to find me. It’s 2025 and I still don’t have a booking agent. DIY 4 life, I guess. Thanks for listening, thanks for dancing.

Love and hugs, Burnout Sumner
