Among many crazy and funny things I said (and did) this summer, one sentence glued to my mind: 

LIFE IS A WONDERFUL THING TO WASTE! 

I meant this in a sense of "how much of ourselves are we willingly suffocating to maintain the image THEY have imposed on us so that we can develop, progress and move freely?" Life's too short to maintain that image. Live your life the way you want. Your life is only yours, and if it makes you happy to "waste it", well it's yours to waste!

* Music genre of the mix:

After five or six years I played (almost only) a deep techno set at The Swamp, Mo:Dem Festival. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.

In my process of overthinking I labeled my style of (writing and) DJ-ing as BRICOLAGE /ˌbrɪkəˈlɑːʒ/. In the arts, bricolage (French for DIY or do-it-yourself) is "the construction or creation of a work from a diverse range of things that happen to be available, or a work constructed using mixed media." This definition fully and realistically corresponds to what I'm creating, whether it is a text or a DJ set. This definition also fits my punk philosophy and aesthetics.

Peace, love, empathy; #ValVashar

This exclusive set is by DJane MARCIANA aka Back to Mars, showcasing the music style she is fully into right now, having had great gigs playing it last summer like the Swamp of MoDem. Marciana is a DJ project from Marcia, a Brazilian based in The Netherlands, who is also known as Back to Mars. Having started her journey as DJ Back to Mars in 2001, she soon was also playing sets in more styles. It became a natural development to have a separate project to represent these styles and Marciana was created. Marciana has played at parties and festivals around Europe like the Pumpui stage of O.Z.O.R.A. Festival in Hungary, Hadra Festival in France, MoDem Festival in Croatia, Psycristrance in Mexico, Own Spirit Festival in Spain, Free Earth Festival in Greece, Transition Festival in Spain, Gaggalacka Festival in Germany, Club Charlotte in Germany; and Sassafras, Bevrijdings Festival, Green Vibrations Festival and Psy-Fi Festival in Holland. Also a producer, her tracks have been released on Electric Power Pole Records and directly on her Bandcamp page. Marciana's drive is to inspire people, and her sets are a mix of energies between her, the public and the sound, creating a musical story on the spot.

Cosmicleaf presents SHIVANAM with a studio mix showcasing their music catalog. With their fourth album that was released at Cosmicleaf Records they are entering a completely new musical dimension. They leaned even more into the electronic scene with dense bass lines and rich rhythms, traditionally connected by many sound frequencies up to hypnotic trance. They are also preparing a new concert line - when the situation allows it. The music group Shivanam is a multi-genre band which draws inspiration from world and ethno music and combines it with modern styles like chill-out, ambient, electronic music, dub, downtempo and trance. The Shivanam was founded in 1998 and has cooperated with many musicians and bands. Although some of the abovementioned now run their own projects, they still perform with the Shivanam as special guests. Currently the group has three members. During performances you can hear a variety of music instruments. The music itself is a fusion of classical and traditional instruments (acoustic guitar, pipes, percussion, drums, shaman drums, Tibetan bowls, shenai, voices) as well as modern ones (electric guitar, keyboards, samplers, sound effects).

Digital Diamonds presents STEVE SLUG. Steve Slug, a passionate techno DJ, discovered techno and house music in East Germany during the late 90s and 2000s and instantly fell in love with it. He started DJing and played at clubs and underground parties, relying on vinyl records back in the day. As life progressed with the responsibilities of starting a family, Steve had to temporarily set aside his DJ career. However, his passion for music never faded. In the midst of a midlife crisis :-), he decided to reignite his love for DJing and purchased a DJ controller, allowing him to mix tracks digitally. While he appreciates the numerous advantages of digital DJing, he still misses the feeling and handling of vinyl. Nevertheless, he has embraced the digital world and is now open to exploring all genres of electronic music. This exclusive Techno set is created especifically for Digital Diamonds. In this mix, we will dive into the world of atmospheric and melodic Techno. We combine timeless sounds with modern tracks. For those who experienced Techno in the 2000s, this set will undoubtedly feature some familiar sounds. Of course, no techno set would be complete without the label's signature "sugar tracks." Enjoy it!
