PROGRESSION October Mix

Daniel and David started this musical journey together by successfully finishing a DJ course in 2010, focusing mostly on house music and with the help of a club owner who was also a very good friend of theirs, they started out with some gigs, gaining experience and confidence in the process. 
Throughout the years they felt the need to change their music style so it was in 2014 when they decided to integrate slowly in the underground music scene, which was the real music for their ears. Since they always performed as a duo, they even decided to change their stage name to DEEZTWO and started focusing more on the genre they loved and felt most at ease in - Progressive House Music!
Years into it, today they are very well known for the vibe they create with their specific groovy track selections and harmonic journeys they always give shape to their sets and established a solid name in their local progressive scene in their home country Malta!
In fact, DEEZTWO played in various prestigious events in Malta playing alongside big international artists, such as Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, Mind Against, Magda, Rafael Cerato, Raxon, Petar Dundov, Stephan Barnem, Dmitry Molosh, Nick Devon, Stereo Underground, Anna, Dino Lenny & other well-known DJs in the industry.
2019 was another milestone for DEEZTWO as they got their first international gig in Thailand, followed by another one in Scotland in August 2021 with headliner Guy J, DJ Ruby and other international artists. They also got booked to play in various Ruby &Friends editions in Malta, which are considered the best progressive local events held by their very good friend DJ Ruby himself - the pioneer of electronic music in the country!
DEEZTWO also started their own one/off events named DEEZTWO&YOU inviting local and foreign artists such as Miss Monique, Emi Galvan, Sebastian Busto, Alex O’Rion, Robert Babicz and more to come!
2024 was the year when they finally decided to introduce their selves in the world of music production too –  successfully realising their 1st two track EP which is set to be released in January 2025.

I've been listening to electronic music since I was old enough to tune into the John Peel show on Radio 1. Peel first introduced me to Chicago House, Detroit Electro and Rap. I would listen to an entire show with my finger hovering over the record button of my 'tape-recorder' close to the radio speaker just to record whatever 3 electronic imports he would play each night. I wish I'd kept those recordings.
From the moment I first heard 'Roxanne Shante' I sought out everything I could ranging from Kraftwerk, Mike Oldfield, Kurtis Mantronik, Africa Bambata, Grandmaster Flash, Gorgio Morodor, Axel-F, Jean Michel Jarre and just about anyone who used a synth to make music! With the arrival of House in the mid-late 80's the likes of Marshall Jefferson, Frankie Knuckles, Farley Jackmaster Funk, Steve Silk Hurley, Adonis and many more American underground House producers, the music had developed into a new, seriously exciting phenomena.
Music progressed at pace with House and Acid imports driving change, the UK in particular underwent an epiphany of sorts in the 80's and 90's. From Break-Dancing to New Romanticism, the music developed, finally morphing into the early genres of Acid Trance, Techno and Progressive Trance. Heavily influenced by American and underground Dutch and German artists and with the advent of clubbing and non-speaking mixing DJ's, it opened up a Pandora's box of new music, influences, sounds and styles. What that amounted to for me (and most others like me) was an ever-growing range of electronic music that was continually breaking free from pigeon-holes and mainstream pop culture. Electronic music had become the new classical music of a generation.
I can only say that electronic or computer music has evolved beautifully in the past 40 years and I love it as much now as the day I first heard John Peel play fantastic American imports.
I'm not anything more than a bedroom DJ and electronic music enthusiast. I have the greatest admiration for those who DJ publicly and seek to build a following or career from DJing, but that’s not a path I’ve tried to follow. I do love to put together great tunes, so for me using this sort of platform for sharing music is perfect for me. I do mixes both on my decks and using Ableton, as sometimes I find it easier to create a journey through that medium. 
As for making music, I’m slowly finding my way around Ableton in order to bring life to the musical ideas rolling around my head. 
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the mixes I post, please give me some feedback and if nothing else, support the artists themselves and buy their music.
