I've always enjoyed warm up sets!
The beginning of the night provides the context to play tracks that probably you won't play in other situations.
No pressure, just getting warm during these cold days.
Enjoy !

Warm Up 1223

Happy New Year!

My house friends do not like breaks
My techno friends do not like breaks
My prog friends do not like breaks
I love breaks!

I recorded a pure Ableton-based breaks set during the Outbreak which received excellent feedback. I'll also upload it here if this one reaches at least 100 listenings :)

Someone reminded me recently and I decided to record a new one as I got an FLX-10 controller (quality gear btw)
What may you expect here? Well, many loops, pads, textures, melodies, effects and a 100% breaks set!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did recording it!

Two Million Beats (Kiwi's Essential Breaks Mix II)

Storytelling: "Init 2024"

It has been while since the last time I recorded a Textures episode. I was looking for something different but the amount and quality of tunes I wanted to showed you since the last episode was growing a lot. Pulsating baselines, hypnotic melodies, a lot of loops and.. textures. You already know.

See you in the next episode,

David

Textures V

Recently I joined embat.io and I just wanted to record something for them. This time the afro house rhythms create the vibe. Enjoy !

Playing For Embat

Storytelling: "Shadows & Lights"

I would have liked to release more episodes of Textures this year, but sometimes things don't turn out the way you want. This episode is about that duality of shadows and lights, the good and the bad, the happy and the sad. The light will appear at some point during the set... or maybe not.

See you in the next episode,

David

Live From Marchal Private Party '24

Got a good friend working there and it seems they need some quality stuff for this summer.

They did not see it coming.

I'll publish the tracklist if it gets at least 10 likes.

Storytelling: "Playing for RØNÊM"

This is the most contundent Textures set I've recorded. The goal here was to include the atmosphere I've heard from mi coleague RØNÊM into Textures. Obviously both styles are different as he mainly plays Techno but I'd say this is one of the best episodes recorded in the series. 

Don't forget to check RØNÊM profile if you also like Techno:

See you at the next episode!

This Summer Is Not Over Yet '24

Just a few tracks to enjoy before Christmas time
Enjoy !

Black Friday Edition '24

As of today, **Playing for Embat** it's the set that has resonated most deeply with listeners, my most cherished creation. When I embarked on finding tracks for a sequel, I wrestled with it. Some felt too subdued, others far too intense, pulling me completely away from the very soul of the rhythm I was chasing. There were moments, more than a few, where I simply abandoned the idea.

It's truly astonishing how profoundly our **moods shape our decisions**, and music, my friends, is no exception. This isn't just a set; it's a creation born from a **slow, simmering fire**, a journey that deliberately unfolds its story, taking its sweet time. Within its depths, you'll find space for everything: the deep and the commercial, the stark light and the profound darkness, the purest joy and the most heartfelt sorrow. But above all, it's a piece into which I've poured my **heart and soul**, every ounce of my tender care.

This isn't just another addition to your Spotify playlists. No, this is a **true artist's statement**, a set that I believe will not only surpass the achievements of its predecessor but will carve out a truly special place in your personal library – if you allow yourself the time to truly **savor every moment** of it. My deepest hope, my genuine desire, is that you'll revel in it as much as I have, pouring myself into the process of collecting, structuring, and mixing every single note.
