TOGETHER WE DANCE / Party Mixes

A nice "WarmUp" set by the 2 MDMA's veteran DJs Loc and Erick...
Their sound/music implement each other in a well balanced manner giving the audience a deep and calm preparation for he crazy night to come... However, on their own, they certainly rock the dancefloor too!!
Well, let's start your weekend with this mix :)

LOCxERICK Mix March06 2021 @ DD3 Verandah

It was a great party and our very first at DD3 Verandah... As usual, something has to go wrong with the live recording and well, (ran out of memory space on the recorder this time, lol) therefore need to re-record the tracks that I played in the party again but in my studio... Well, it's a little different of course as the vibe was really good during the party, but yeah, better than nothing.... Hope you still enjoy it :)

My build up mix for DJ BLUE at DD3 Verandah (May 1st, 2021)...
It was a fun night under some strange circumstances with one of the CDJs but always thankful with all you lovely party people dancing and supporting me and Macau Dance Music Association(MDMA) :)
See you all soon on the dancefloor...

This is the warm-up mix I did for DJ NIGL's birthday at DD3 Verandah... It was the collaboration party of FORMA x MDMA for the first time!!
Fun night :)
I started with some older tracks (but good ones) building up this mix and I really enjoyed the outcome of it... Hope you all like it too :)

D - Hoo July24 - 2021 - Mix / FORMA x MDMA Party

Complicated time with us again... Macau after almost 500 days with zero Covid-19 cases, the city is in chaos again due to some new cases hitting the city... Clubs are closed again... Parties cancelled... and with a strong typhoon approaching, it is best to stay home and stay safe...
I have compiled a bunch of downtempo electronica lately and these are some really good music that I personally like very much... Also I named it "Rhythm Behind the Wall" because when i made it, all I had in mind was "TRAVELING" which I miss so much since Dec.2019... :( 
When is it safe again to go places???

RhythmBehindTheWall 2021

Very happy to be doing a 3 hour opening set for BE-ATS a couple of weeks ago in LMA Macau...At first I thought, maybe 2 hours was enough? but 3 hours came I really didn't want to stop and wished there was another hour at least to play, hehehe... It's never easy to slowly build up the dancefloor but then it's a challenging job and so much fun to take the crowd to places and when you see them all follow your sound and dance, it's surely rewarding!!! So I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you all who were there and "BE-ATS" team to believe in me :)

"REFLECTIONS" was actually the mix set I prepared for New Year's Eve at DD3 Verandah... However, there were some technical problems while I was playing that night with the sound of the monitors very distorted that for the first 70 mins or so I was "guessing" while mixing the tunes until the technician came and fixed it... So I had to do this recording again back in my studio which I have made a little adjustment and added 2 more tracks that I did not play that night...
This is also a very personal mix to me as it "reflects" my feelings on the year 2021 which was absolutely crazy for me with lots of ups and downs, surprises, family matters, physical matters, etc, etc... It was just a crazy year and yeah... let's hope we all have a wonderful year 2022 :)
Anyway, hope you all enjoy it...

D-HOO "Reflections" Jan2022

The best way to listen to your new tracks is to play it loud and record them at the same time! Do you agree?

Spring is here and this time has the best weather in town and Spring means new beginnings, new life, new leaves and new grasses are born and the air is fresh in the mornings which i love... So, it's time to make a new mix with some new tunes, more melodic and housey, still deep but on the bright side... :) 
Hope you all enjoy it and may "PEACE" be with us... and hope we can all travel again soon..............

D - Hoo - SpringMix2022

Well well well... it's the time of the year that I turned a year younger (hehe), a year wiser.... However, it's also a very strange time here in Macau as Covid is hitting us (after 3 years of it worldwide) and we are kind of in lock down mode (again) and I could not go out and party.... Luckily I have my new little studio and I could go there and do a quick recording... Oh, it's also my first time playing music there so the setting is not 100% yet.... Anyways, it's not a perfect mix but hope you all like it :)

Hi everyone,
We made it to the final quarter of the year...!!! The weather is kind of at it's best over here in Macau and I find myself often lying by the poolside on the weekends and start daydreaming hehe :)
So I thought it's about time for a new mix and I am going to call it "DAYDRERAM" and here it is... Hope you all like it :)

D - Hoo Daydream Oct2022

Hi hi... It's been a while after Covid finally hit Macau during December 2022...
Still not feeling like the usual me (recovering from that shit)but it's time to do a new mix as it's Chinese New Year :)
Hope the year of the Rabbit brings everyone joy and peacefulness and good health!!!
Have a listen and hope you enjoy this mix which I have played at UTOPIA party in Jan.2023, but this one has a couple more tracks in it that completes the mix :)

As Summer is approaching, I have selected a bunch of lovely tracks and did a mix dedicated to the people I love... Hope "Gravity Beats" will always give you a pleasant mood to whatever you do this Summer!!!

It's been a while since I last posted any mix... This is a rework of the music I played in "Together We Dance" party in July 15 at DD3 Verandah... I did not bring a recorder that night and right at the start of my first track it got jammed and the cdj went into loop mode... However I thought it was a good 2 hour journey and decided to record it once again in my studio... It will never be the same but there you go... Hope you all like it :)
This was the night's last set so I started the mix harder than my usual slow build ups!!

"Feels Like Heaven" is an emotional mix from my latest collection of Deep House / Electronica tracks! 
I hope to give listeners a journey, a sensation of being in Heaven, (maybe?)... So close your eyes, play it loud, possibly in a dark environment, move your body and come fly with me! :)

This is a re-make of my 3hour + set at Acadana HK, as the original live recording got some bad sound distortion and can not be used........
Therefore I recorded the set again with little minor changes in a few tracks and I am quite please with the outcome...
I had a really great time meeting and playing for all the HK friends and DJs that came along and supported our infamous "TOGETHER WE DANCE" parties...
I hope this mix can let you all re-live the special moments we had during the party :)
Now, seat back and enjoy!!!

CORONASOUND  is all about this difficult time that we are experiencing in our city, in our region... People are staying indoors, self quarantine time that "left / leaves" our once super crowded city deserted... And I myself too had to stay in as much as possible!!!
I decided to put together a bunch of tracks that could serve as "background music??" to some or it could also be "inspiring sound" for some doing creative work at home??... Either way, let's all stay strong and stay healthy and positive and the good days will be with us soon!!! 
Hoe you all enjoy my mix :)

Dear All,
This is my mix from "Together We Dance" party June06, 2020!!! It was such a crazy and unforgettable party due to the pandemic that locked everybody home and many many parties being cancelled for a long while! Everyone was so happy coming out and danced all night long!! :)
My actual live mix was ruined due to heavy sound distortion, but it was such a great night that I went back to my studio and did it all again! It's a little different as the mood was different, but I believe it is still good and hope that it could bring back memories to all the people who went to the party!! Oh... and THANK YOU all for your support!! :)

DHoo TWDJune2020 Mix

Yet another great night with lots of great people, happy faces, great vibes and non stop energy on the dancefloor!!! This party was special because we also had Concrete Lotus live and it was amazing!!
Thank you all for dancing with me as usual, and hope this mix can bring back good memories of the night with little stories of whatever happened to each of you... Love you all and much appreciate all of your support!!! :)

Hi all, I have been very very busy lately and don't really have time making new mixes, however, Halloween we created a really cool party at D2 Club and what an awesome night it was!! The live recording was not so good as there were occasional distortion so I managed to find some time and re-recorded my set in my studio... Hopefully it will bring back some fun memories of the night for those who were at the party!! Enjoy :)

DHOO HALLOWEEN MIX 10.2020

ELECTRONICA # DEEP HOUSE # INDIE # HYPNOTIC MELODIES # TECHNO # UNDERGROUND SOUND
Founding Member of MDMA (Macau Dance Music Association)

Derek da Rocha Hoo aka dj D-HOO’s love for music was first sparked by his uncle, a musician who still is a drummer at present day. The drumming sound gave D-Hoo a good sense of beats and ryhthym at an early age... By the age of 14, he spent all his savings on a set of hi-fi stereo and bought his first pair of turntables and a mixer. He started hosting private house parties and by the age of 17 his experience landed him on his first DJ gig at a prestigious Night Club in Macau...

Influenced mostly by the sounds of Pink Floyd, Front 242, Depeche Mode and so on, D-HOO’s musical journey really began when he moved to the UK in 1991. Legendary Clubs such as Club UK, The Heaven, Ministry of Sound and live performances of 808 State, The Orb and Orbital, opened up his doorway into the world of electronic music.

He returned home in 1997 with the urge of bringing the party culture and the good vibe into Macau’s night scene. He joined efforts with a friend and founded Bermuda Productions which was a success, then Phuturo Entertainment, hosting some of the most acclaimed parties in town at that time... Left Macau again by mid 2000 to pursue higher education and also to grow his personal musical journey...

Having spent years experiencing different genres of electronic music and fine-tuning his DJing skills, D-HOO’s sound remains steadfast to “HOUSE MUSIC”. His sets reveals his personal reflections during the course of self-explorations. D-HOO can bring you to a cruise from chill, sexy melodic sound to the other pole of deep, dark  hypnotic techno vibe. D-Hoo’s mix set provides a distinct transcending experience each and every time he plays in a club.

Relentless on the attempt of making a difference in Macau’s electronic music development and the party scene, he founded MDMA – (Macau Dance Music Association) in November 2012 with a couple of close friends! Since then the journey began which he is impelled to dispense musical insights locally.
