MIXES + RADIO

Diving deep into the genre that expresses my sound most authentically. Progressive House, specifically deep underground progressive has been the genre that I feel most fluid in. I can get lost into this realm of beautiful vocal samples, loops with a driving baseline. I explain this as the yin / yang of my sound. The balance between two worlds meeting together. 

I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I did playing it.

Astral Avenue 03

I first tried DJing in June of 1998, using a broken Technics 1200 and an unreliable belt drive turntable from a local thrift store. I wasn't competent until after picking up real 1200s a year later, but that summer was the departure point for the many twists and turns of my DJ life.

Now it's 25 years later. I have little to show in the way of fame or money, but I'm rich in friends, music and memories. I'm celebrating those loves in the best way I can, by sharing music from throughout the long, weird journey.

I'll be performing one livestream mix a month from January to June of 2023, then putting the live cut on Soundcloud a few days later. Some will be broadcast from my basement, some from live gigs, and some from who knows where? Each mix will cover distinct tempos and styles I've played over the years, all while maintaining the heady, melodic, sometimes dark vibes that characterize all my music.

I hope family, friends and fans join me for any or all of the 6+ mixes. The February edition features dark, weird, deep progressive house from the likes of Bedrock and more, spanning all but six of the last 22 years and getting really weird for a while there.. AKA "Can You Diggers It?"

DVO25-2: Can You Diggers It

Hard & Sleazy, Stretched & Catchy. Sexy & Nasty, Happy & Chanting. 
The groove, the rhythm, the melody, the hips: the guts and the brain. 
Playing to get you going. And selecting the not always to dance to tunes for his Vinyl Only Sessions at Kiosk.

LIVE Opening Set for Börscht

Live @ Banshee House "MAD HOUSE PARTY" by Mad Lemon 2.8.25

LIVE @ MAD HOUSE PARTY

Listen to "NA BUVET (Dragan Zaranoff remix)" by METRONONE taken from "NOKIA BALISTIKZ" out on September 5th via DALF records

Pre-order: https://dalfrecords.bandcamp.com/album/nokia-balistikz

Nokia Balistikz blends club-focused sound design with experimental structures, moving between broken rhythms, heavy bass, and textural detail. Rooted in the aesthetics of the Bern underground, the album reflects a DIY approach that values rawness, and sonic unpredictability.

The production relies on a combination of analog and digital techniques, using samplers, drum machines, and synthesizers, with a strong focus on 90s sample CDs and hardware as both sound sources and creative tools. 

It integrates elements from Rap, Drill, Baile Funk, and experimental electronic music. Field recordings, vocal fragments, and ambient noise are layered into the compositions, with intentional roughness and looseness playing a central role in the aesthetic.
