Favorite sets/mixes with deep house, downtempo, tech house and progressive house

deep house sets

Dylan C is my favourite DJ. Such a legend with a deep musical knowledge and sensitivity to energy. I got to join him in this closing set of Ponderosa Ranch festival with my Minimoog. All improvised and played reactively to what Dylan was laying down. Thanks to The Busy Movement for having us ❤️
Enjoy! :)

SAGA CHAPTER ONE 

SAGA | CHAPTER ONE

Gratitude. Belonging. Collaboration. Flow state. Scintillating crowd energy. Much mud. Moist air. Fire and Water. Masculine and Feminine.

These are a few words that come to mind when I think back to my Sunday Mass set at Swing Fling, from 2-4pm on the last day of Kiwiburn 2023.

Many thanks to all the pious and devout dancers who brought their palpable energy to a very special rendition of the Sunday Mass, as well as all the nuns at Swing Fling serving pancakes, mimosas and/or spanks to those who confessed their transgressions on (or off) the paddock. Gary Boomshanker certainly got excited, letting off a burst of flames with every spank.

It turns out that sleep deprivation, a splitting headache and the sweltering heat inside Swing Fling's dome on a sunny afternoon after days of rain make a great recipe for entering flow state while DJing! I've had the best time feeding off the energy, dance moves and smiles from the crowd, playing one of my most enjoyable sets in a long time. Originally I was only supposed to play an hour but when the next DJ didn't show up I was actually stoked that I could continue tapping into flow state and weaving more songs. I ended on one song that I chose specifically as a way of showing my gratitude to Swing Fling and the larger burn community: Belong by Viken Arman. There is something truly tangible about the sense of belonging I feel with the radiant humans of Swing Fling, both at my first burn and this time, being actually part of the camp.

I got even more emotional when my friend Dani from Wānaka started drumming along to my tunes - something that I'd always dreamed of someone doing during a set. Next time we should try and get the drumming amplified and recorded, too!

In closing, I'd like to share a massive insight I had at this burn: the music I like to play (and dance to) is usually more feminine than masculine, which sustains the positive valence of a dancefloor and of the dancers, and keeps spirits uplifted. This may sound straightforward, but there's something in the simple clarity I gleaned from this that is very wholesome and satisfying.

Kia ora!

Sunday Mass @ Swing Fling | Kiwiburn 2023

Happy new year everyone! I had the immense pleasure of playing this 2.5 hour set at 2 am after New Years Eve at Rhythm & Alps festival 2023 in Aotearoa New Zealand, closing the lush Playhouse tent. 

The Playhouse is part of the Yumm Zone, offering couches, cushions, carpet, warm heaters, free hot chai tea and a welcoming vibe for everyone to slow down and feel at ease.

Thanks everyone from the crew for making me feel at home, and the crowd that contributed to the lovely energy in the tent.

Enjoy the journey, may it guide you into the energy of 2024.

My cup remains expanded and full after Relish Festival 2025, nestled in the lush native forest of the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand.

With deepest gratitude for all the beautiful souls and the land, I had the absolute delight of sharing two hours of tunes on the Friday night in the Chill n Cherish Lounge, at the far end of the Delicious Kitchen tent - the very heart and soul of Relish.

I only hit record a few tracks into the set, but since it was all an impromptu multi-genre musical journey, I didn't feel called to make any edits or rerecord the start of my set.

Enjoy!

Much love,
David <3

P.S. Thanks to Bear Heart for this beautiful photo of the kitchen tent.

Friday night in the Tea Temple at the last ever New Zealand Spirit Festival North Island was such a delight - the most present, engaging and supportive crowd I've had a in a long time, turning the Tea Temple tent into quite the portal indeed! The set recording captures the journey we all went on, starting in mellow downtempo, adding a bit of a bounce pretty soon, and taking us all the way into melodic tech house at the end, with lots of vocals. 

Viel Spaß, und dankeschön! <3

Wie hieß es bei Monty Python doch gleich: „And now for something completely different“. Passender könnte man die Vorstellung unserer neusten Podcast-Ausgabe nicht einleiten, denn etwas „komplett anderes“ erwartet den Hörer.

Es ist gar nicht so einfach, die richtigen Worte für den Künstler, dem wir dieses außergewöhnliche Set zu verdanken haben, und seinen Sound zu finden. Vielen wird http://soundcloud.com/paul-valentin vermutlich ein Begriff sein, denn seine „Valium“-Reihe gibt es nun schon seit 2010 zu hören. Sie zeichnet sich durch eine sehr seltene Einzig- und eben Andersartigkeit aus. Das erreicht Paul Valentin sicher durch die mehr als ungewöhnliche Trackauswahl, bei der auch mal reine Instrumentalstücke, die gar nicht aus dem elektronischen sondern eher aus dem klassischen Bereich kommen, verwendet werden. 

Generell spürt man bei seinem Sound die Liebe zu klassischen Instrumenten, so kommen sie auch sehr häufig in seinen Produktionen zum Einsatz. Man bekommt das Gefühl, hier entsteht wirklich noch größtenteils handgemachte Musik. Und deshalb entwickelt sich beim Hören immer der Eindruck von besonderer Tiefe, Emotionaltät und Authentizität. Besonders freut uns, dass er dies in unserem Podcast mit zwei bisher unveröffentlichten eigenen Tracks unter Beweis stellt, die es bis zum Erscheinen der EP später in diesem Jahr vorerst nur hier zu hören geben wird. Aber auch ansonsten haben seine Tracks schon den Weg in zahlreiche Sets gefunden; seine Remixe von Jonas Kimmelmann und Hannes Smith seien hier nur als Beispiele genannt.

Freut euch also auf ein Set, welches einfach wunderschön anders ist. Es ist zwar kurz aber dafür um so intensiver. Und es lädt ein zum Augenschließen, Davontreiben, Eintauchen und sich verzaubern lassen!

Tracklist:

Dictaphone – Soylent Green (1973)
Paul Valentin – Sommeil (avec Veronique) [unreleased]
Oren Ratowsky – Raccoon
Solpara – Extinguish
Paul Valentin – Aurore (avec Veronique) [unreleased]

Das haett es frueher nicht gegeben #19: Paul Valentin

German-born David Juno discovered electronic music in Jena before moving to New Zealand. Melody and organic sounds are at the core of the music he is passionate about, through different tempos and moods within the 4/4 realm of house and downtempo. David Juno concocts harmonious brews that enthrall listeners at large and small gatherings; clandestine woodland rendezvous; thundering, pitch-black basement blowouts, light-speed gigs aboard gleaming spaceships, and even interdimensional celestial soirées. He's a regular at XCHC and core member of Mary Hush. David Juno is a sonic conduit - his sets create atmospheric journeys that connect audiences through sonic storytelling, ranging from dark, spacious soundscapes to bright, energetic peaks that capture the full spectrum of human emotion and experience - with all the nuances in between.
