This mix is a gift, I’m deeply grateful, Mr. Clay🫶🫶🫶

Love this mix.  Picked up a bunch of these on Beatport recently.  Michael A & Alex O’rion, some great music out now.

Hello everyone and welcome! You are in tune to our exclusive podcast, the weekly mission where Il Modo scours Planet Progressive in search of those hidden DJ mixes. Sit back and chill, let's see where our search takes us .... 

We are back in the mix with a crowd favourite this week, and it's an absolute pleasure to have her back. Her style and track selection make it an easy choice for DJ mixes, never failing to produce a set that rocks every time, please make some noise for Daria Fomina!

Daria Fomina was born near Moscow. She graduated from music school as a teenager in piano class and soon after she found her musical inspiration in electronic music. The people who shaped her musical taste in this new found passion were DJs and bands such as Robert Miles, Radiohead, Enigma, Massive Attack, Prodigy, André Tanneberger, Tiësto, Markus Schulz, Ferry Corsten, Armin Van Buuren, Paul Oakenfold, John Digweed, Sasha, Deep Dish, Pole Folder, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Sébastien Léger, Guy J and others. 

In the beginning of her career Daria played on several radio stations in different geographical locations and has since hosted several exclusive podcasts. At the moment, Daria is a resident of Frisky Radio (US), hosting a two-hour podcast where she invites unique, talented DJs and music producers on her show Oxygen,  and on DI.FM Progressive Channel (US), Subcode Radio (UK) and DNA Radio FM (AR) where she hosts her one-hour show Purple Sky. Daria has also played at Amsterdam Dance Events, Burning Man Project, Hungary and other dance venues in Moscow and Russian cities. 

On April 21, 2021, her first remix on  DROID9 was released, and it was quite successful. It got into the ratings of Release Promo's - Hype Chart Essentials Week 16 on Beatport, and also stayed in the top 100 Progressive House Releases for an extended period.
 
She was the curator of theLIA Series project, which Amber Long founded in December 2021. Daria was tasked with inviting female DJs and organising podcasts for female musical artists from all over the world to participate in the project, which involved over 30 women at its peak.

From April 2024 to the present, Daria has been a resident at the Moscow City Space Bar & Restaurant, which is located on the 34th floor in Swissotel Krasnye Holmy . You can enjoy a magnificent view of the center of Moscow and its attractions to the beautiful melodies of organic and progressive house, which she plays every week.

Daria also occasionally participates as a guest DJ on some online radio stations where she is often a guest in many projects of other musicians and DJs from all over the world.

Her sounds in her DJ mixes are filled with deep and melodic progressive house combined with melodic techno, tech house, deep house, organic house and adding different shades of electronic music.

Berlin Hypnotic House XXV - Club Mix II

Inspired by the first mixing programs on the Dutch radio, Clement van Dijk started mixing in the early 80’s. Being the music obsessive that he is, it didn’t take him very long to find a local club (Display) to showcase his skills. After doing so for a couple of years the promoters of Arnhems hottest dance club; Luxor, offered him a monthly residency on the Stargate party's. This gave Clay the opportunity to play alongside almost every well-known deejay in Holland, and in countries like, Hungary, Mexico, Germany, England, Greece and others... 

This quietly-spoken DJ from Amsterdam has always understood what made people dance, but never compromised his vision of what good music should be like. By continuously following his favorite waxmasters, like John Digweed, Sasha, Nick Warren and Hernan Cattaneo, he developed his love for progressive house music. And now as a big fan of producers like, Guy J, Alex O'Rion, Marcelo Vasami, Matias Chilano, Matter, GMJ and many more....

His style reaches from proggy house with some of the most beautiful strings and vocals you are likely to hear unto deep and dark progressive. He combines deep house, progressive and melodic techno into a hypnotic and intense DJ set. His specialty is creating an atmosphere wherein the audience will be taken to a different musical level. He will take you on a rare, extraordinary and psychedelic musical trip in to the deep space of the progressive underground.

Every first Friday of the month Clay has his radio show Connecting Souls on Proton Radio. Let this joyful Deejay connect your souls on the dance floor with his magical mix of progressive house, deep house and melodic techno music. Now in these days you can find him as a resident in the best underground club in Amsterdam, The Recycle Lounge Gallery Club, and in the famous hotspot Club NL. Here he is the organizer of the party's 'Connecting Souls' and 'HUG' that stands for Holland Under Ground. So if you’re in the mood for a party, let Clay take you on his musical journey...

Love, Beats and Progressive!
