MIXES

RTD Red Bull Opening Slot Competition

Some sets gain iconic status. What Daddy did with the closing set at Hideaway in front of the Triangle, framed by Jou Ma Se Stoep in the majestic Quaggafontein was the kind of thing that garners a cult following. The man who is not constrained by genre, tempo or convention delivered something so thunderous that the howling wind only amplified the insanity that gripped the dancefloor. This recording represents some fragments of that night. 
For anyone who was in doubt - @daddyxwarbucks is most certainly not dead.

It's become apparent to me that I might never live up to my name, Dylan, son of the sea. I spend most of my days on land, and with each step I more deeply lament my life on this terrain. I've stopped eating fish, like my other sea siblings, because the seals have gone hungry. Poseidon has probably never even heard of me. If only he could hear this mix and give me a gig at one of his parties in Atlantis. That would be nice.

From Dictionary.com: "When in Rome(ania), do as the Romanians do"

"When visiting a foreign land, follow the customs of those who live in it."

A big thank you to @Moonsound for letting me use his studio in Bucharest to record this set. 

Bogdan, if you're reading this, and you've already noticed that your CDJ 3000 isn't working properly, this is me admitting that I spilt a large glass of lemonade on it. Luckily I'm safely back home in South Africa now. 

Let this be a lesson to anyone who drinks beverages near expensive electronics x

When In Rome(ania)

My buddy Kyle had a birthday. 
You can hear me singing Happy Birthday in the mix.
Please ignore that.

He has a YouTube channel dedicated to stretching and chakras:

More of the world needs to know about these beans. I'm talking about Father Coffee's beans. 

Father's beans are kept in furry sacks in their beautiful garage. The garage is in Joburg, but those beans get packed up and shipped to vendors around the country, and possibly the world. 

These beans are global. 

Thank you for sharing your beans with me, Johannesburg. The 15th of June 2023 will live on as the night I properly fell in love with those beans, using coffee beans as functional furniture, and Johannesburg.

One decaf oat milk cappuccino and a custom @MatteBinary graphic, please.

This year had lots of DJ sets under different aliases. This time around, George deemed me 'Dyl', and I rather like it. It's efficient and factual.

This set feels like a step in a new direction. The last time I really changed up my sound was @ Hideaway, which was during COVID. At that stage I thought it would be fun to mix some well known '90s dance songs with a bit of Tech House. I'm not sure Tech House has aged so well, but I love how those sets can spark a dance floor to life.

This new set finds a balance between chin scratching and accessibility. Best of all, it reignited the digger in me. I discovered a lot of new artists while looking for music for this set, and I finally got to play out some music that's been sitting on the shelf.

The cherry on top was getting to play at 'de werkplaats' aka FILTH. It's a space in Noord (Amsterdam) where I've been spending a lot of time, working on random projects, and it's there that I've met a lot of epic, creative, epicly-creative people. 

Ook mooi was dat ik bijna de hele avond Nederlands heb gesproken maar totdat ik een beetje 2cb genomen.

Anyways, fijne nieuwe jaar!

Nieuwe jaar @ FILTH

Those who were there got the first 30 minute, for the rest of you, at least we managed to save most of the recording!

Parallelism mix

This week, instead of a podcast episode, where I chatter in-between and over music recommendations, I decided to put together a mix.

It's soulful. It's groovy. It's sexual. It's criminal. 

It's Playlist Obstetrics (my podcast)

Love haus magic mix features: @prinsemanuel, @geoffroymugwump, @uffeisaband, @saine, @rigopolar, @oliverdollar, @sunrom, @djmikeq, @kevin-over, & more.

Love haus magic mix (Playlist Obstetrics Ep. 3.5)

Eight used to be my lucky number. This mix will be the eighth episode of my podcast Playlist Obstetrics, where give music recommendations around a certain theme.  I'm not a numerologist, or anything, but this mix felt significant. It was different from my others, which are more dance-centric. My focus was to journal how I was feeling through a mix. And right now, that's out of focus.

Hopefully SoundCloud never goes bankrupt, and this mix stays up forever.

My podcast is available on pretty much all of the podcast apps. It's a complement to your quarantine morning strolls.
