Infinity Space

Kaspar, Akki (DE) Infinity Space (Original Mix)

This weekend was our first rave back after what feels like being locked down forever. I am still buzzing. 

This is my set from TOYTOY Morning Glory at And Club, Johannesburg. 
I had a fantastic time playing for this special dance floor who are always up for anything. Having that bass run through my body again is THE BEST feeling ever.

Thank you to all the ravers who danced with me. It was so awesome playing for you and your energy was the perfect welcome home. 

Enjoy.

TLM095 -  Absolution (Patrick Bateman Remix)

2 Hours on the VOIDS
Thank you so much to the TOYTOY team for having me.
What an experience, I have never been so nervous for a set but the energy from the crowd made me feel right at home. AND Club is a special place.

The recording is a mixture of output audio from the mixer and I have added some of the crowd reactions that are live in some points.

Set time was from 23:00 - 01:00

TOYTOY

This was one of my favorite sets to date. I went in blind with preparation to this set as I wanted to play off the crowds energy.
I have never played for such a responsive crowd before, AND club and TOYTOY truly have something special here.

Thank you top everyone who came out to support and thank you to the TOYTOY / AND club team for hosting me.

Friday: TOYTOY - AND CLUB

A big thanks to TOYTOY for bringing me back up. I love this space so much, it has such a special place in my heart. The JHB crowd is amazing and so well educated on the sound.

Saturday: UNDERGROUND AFRICA - AND CLUB


Experiencing Marrøn's 9-hour set at the AND Club was truly unforgettable, creating an electric atmosphere with his rhythmic consistency and engaging energy that kept everyone on the dance floor until sunrise. The seamless flow and intense focus he brings to his performances, combined with the professionalism of the Underground Africa team and the supportive environment of the AND Club crew, made for a magical night, especially after a year apart from Marrøn. This event was a remarkable celebration of music and community.

Daryn Steytler | TOYTOY | 20 September 2024

I launched @linked_techno in November 2019, this past event marked our 5 years of duty.

I’m filled with pride for what we’ve built together, and the atmosphere during the event was nothing short of electric. Both floors were with packed with an open-minded and diverse crowd, coming together to create something truly special. Your consistent support is appreciated.

Here are some audio highlights of my set from LINKED. Many of you have asked why I don’t record videos in the club; the truth is, I prefer to focus on the raw energy of the music and the crowd, cherishing the moment in the space rather than capturing it through a screen.

Bulgarian talent Timmo returns to Monika Kruse’s Terminal M imprint to deliver his ‘Starlight’ EP ahead of his forthcoming LP on the label later this year.

The title track ‘Starlight’ opens proceedings and sets the tone as soaring, driving lead synths meet rich bass patterns, whilst ‘Connect’ takes up a darker, more menacing aesthetic as resonant bass licks and eerie female vocal interjections fuse amongst hefty kicks. Last up, ‘Belle Epoque’ concludes the package combining ever-evolving melodies, warping synth lines and slick, refined percussion throughout to shape up the EP. Timmo's ‘Starlight’ EP is out on Terminal M on 7th June 2019.

Tracklist:
1. Starlight
2. Connect
3. Belle Epoque

TOYTOY Invites JED 

"This mix was inspired by a fast paced and at times harder groove. I have tried to incorporate a variety of more peak-time techno I enjoy playing, a mix of stuff from the 90s till now, that resonates with my taste. In this mix I try make use of multiple layers and polyrhythms creating a unique yet continuous dancefloor mood. This should transport you to a dark room somewhere in the deepest reaches of your subconscious . 

Including tracks by @rhyw, @kaiserksr_it, @gary-martin, Reeko, @luke-slater (Planetary Assault Systems) amongst others. Hope you enjoy”. - @jedisadj
