Two weeks ago, some of our favourite people gathered in the heart of our favourite place -- Johannesburg -- for one last night in the inner city. 

The basement of the iconic Turbine Hall provided the ultimate space for a bunker rave. A series of concrete chambers were illuminated by candle light and reverberated with a sensational sound track. 

It was the perfect way to say goodbye -- albeit temporarily -- to the city and the people that we love before we head to Manchester. 

Here's my set from the night. I hope you enjoy it.

Montreal's rising talent Mike Haddad turns out with an upfront selection for our next installment.

A mix that has been recognized and appreciated by the organizers at Ibiza Sonica Radio. We are extremely proud to finally have Mike on board.

Who is Mike Haddad?

Born and raised in Montreal, Mike has been mixing for about 3 years. Inspired by all cultures, he is curious about exploring all sounds, and playing a more diverse range of tracks. 

Raised on classic hip hop, he has only dived into electronic music in the past few years. The genre has satisfied the craving for driving, grooving melodies. Developing a passion for moving dance-floors, he uses DJing as a creative outlet; a means to tell a story. Obsessed by the deepest of sounds, his goal is to transport his listeners; through his evolving mixes. 
The production path might come soon from Mike, but for now he is balancing out his career with his DJing passion. Always eager to move his audience, lend him your ears, as he takes you on another journey.

DJ T.'s Asylum On Hawaii Mix - Spring 2012

That thursday afternoon was clearly one of the highlight of my burn this year. Opening the stage to end my set with all these enthousiastic people in front of me was magical. I can't thank enough the people of Ubuhlanti for this beautiful stage and mostly @parallellsofficial for inviting me to play at this Klassified takeover, you two are amazing souls ! It also allowed me to meet the fantastic crew of Umbrella Lounge, thank you for your energy !
Behind this stage there is also Bridges for Music, incredible people building a music school in a town ship in Cape Town. Feel free to support this honorable cause  : https://www.justgiving.com/bridgesformusic

Blackbird Close

Breitbeinig und mit festem Stand stehe ich auf dem Dach eines Hochhauses. Ich lasse meinen Blick schweifen und bin von der sich mir dargebotenen Szenerie beeindruckt, als würde ich dieses Bild zum ersten Mal sehen.
Unter mir brennt das Lichtermeer der Stadt, über mir thront majestätisch der Himmel in schwarz.
Nacht auf Nacht gehe ich auf Mission. Die Menschen hier brauchen mich, sie brauchen jemanden der nach dem Rechten sieht und an die Vergessenen denkt. Der den Schwachen eine helfende Hand reicht, die hungrigen speist, die Kranken heilt und bei dem Einsamen verweilt.
Ich bin der Nachtwächter dieser Stadt, meist nur ein Schatten, der Nacht für Nacht seine Runden macht.
Danke Elif, dieses Set verleiht Flügel.
