Fraîcheurs Club avec Nightchou (Octobre 2022)

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

El Santuario Music Podcast Series 001 By TACT - HEAL // Luna Lion

This is a set I have played at the party called Fexxtinha at the end of 2022. It was my favourite party where I DJ-ed in ages. We put it on at the property of old school doofer where my Brazilian family used to live. This area was badly affected by Feb '22 floods and road to this house and area in general was inaccessible for 9 months!!! As soon as they finished new road we made a call to do the party to celebrate. All the locals were stoked! 

My gratitude goes to owner for trusting us with his amazing house and allowing us to dance on his land; to my dear friends Lucho and Luiza who used to live there and said their goodbyes to us with this party; to Daniel, Diego and everyone else who worked hard to put this on! And we all did it without any money exchange, for free, for love of the music and to celebrate life 💖

To prepare for this set I dug deep into my "DJ bag" and pulled out few bangers / classics, played house and techno music I really love and most importantly had the best dance while DJ-ing and seeing happy faces of my friends, old and new. Prior to these two hours I have played b2b set with LostBoy Ludo which was super fun experience! I love you all soooo much 💖

Who is Mary Hush?

Once again we were invited to discover more hints to answer that elusive question. On May 27th 2023, a portal opened in Ōtautahi Chirstchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand, to the Holographic Hotel - a place suspended between our dimension and our imagination. Time works differently there, and its guests were those of stories, memories, dreams, myths, fables, and legends. Once we arrived safely, thanks to the guidance of the Stewards of the Portals, we were greeted by EL-42, a bell droid of the Holographic Hotel. History, realities and quantum superpositions of paths all intersect throughout its hidden halls. Once we had settled in, a succession of portals opened from other times, places and cultures that co-created an opening ceremony that will be remembered and retold throughout the ages to come. The last portal to open transmitted a beautiful waiata sung by karanga wahine, who passed me a holographic fern that I picked up as I started playing the first tune, dropping a deep bassline to allow us all to drop in fully.

This is my opening set of the Holographic Hotel: a raw odyssey within an odyssey, giving guests at the Holographic Hotel a glimpse of things to come later in the night, foreshadowing a great many riveting stories that were yet to unfold. Travel well, dear friend, and remember (as Rumi said): “Don’t be satisfied with stories; how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth” 

A heartfelt dankeschön, ngā mihi nui, thank you to all those who came before me and who will come after me. Thank you to the land where I grew up in Germany, the beautiful rolling hills of Allgäu in South Bavaria. Kia ora, pfiad eich!

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
