We did a party in memory of a dear friend of ours, Bob De Rosa, one of the great unsung heroes of the early tech house scene in London. He wasn't as well known as he deserved to be to the world at large, but he was loved by all that knew him, immensely popular and a real father / brother figure to many of us. This is my set from the party.

After years performing as one half of the acclaimed duo, This & That, Borna Safa has ventured into a solo project that reflects his own individual sound and direction. Expect sets which move fluidly through tech house, electro, breaks, and leftfield cuts, prioritising energy on the dancefloor while emphasising his sound, without being restricted to any one style.

Having emerged in the North East music scene, Safa has built a reputation for his thoughtful selections, performing across clubs, festivals, and warehouse nights, as well as through the work with his brand, Miyagi Music. Whether warming up the room or closing the night, his approach is about dynamic balance, crafting carefully curated mixes- keeping things moving while leaving space for deeper, unexpected moments.

His sound draws on early UK tech house and electro, shaped by labels like Swag, Wiggle, and 2020 Vision. Sets focus on dark, bassline-driven tracks and rare underground finds, weaving unexpected selections across genres to create a storytelling journey.

This solo chapter marks a step forward in his artistic evolution: an opportunity to dig deeper into his record collection, expand the range of his sets, and explore new sonic directions.
