Шикарный сет, неделю гоняю на репите

This set is like tooth floss for my brain

that tiny lil Wu Tang hook teaser is probably my favourite tidbit of any mix from the last ten years 🧨

Splore 2023 - All Sets

Dolphin Therapy @ Splore 2023

I don’t think I’ve ever been as nervous and anxious prior to a performance than on that day. Something about a much bigger crowd than my first time, knowing that there will be dance floor full of DJs, as well as me overthinking and over engineering this set, sent me down an anxiety spiral a few hours out. Top tip: turns out a bit of food and hydration does wonders.  

The intro to this set was meant to include a dance performance stint. Dressed as an over expressive opera singer, I had planned to transform into a muchacho with moustache and all. Turns out the Studebaker stage at Lucky Star was PACKED. There was absolutely no room for dancing in front of the DJ booth, which was likely a combination of the time of the day, it pouring down heavily with rain and this stage being one of the very few covered one’s. Aaaaand a big crew showing up to hold my hand (*thank you*). So the dance performance, undressing and moustache application had to happen in the privacy of the DJ booth which was…surprise, surprise….a Studebaker vehicle. My alter ego Lurky Bertie decided to take everyone on a ride, go a little all over the show, sprinkling in some classics, before taking the dance floor dwellers down the good ol DirdyGerdi path of chunky hip thrust motivating tunes. Trying to keep it sexy at all times. 

Shout out to the massive group therapy crew support right in front of my eyes. It made navigating my second public set so much more of a breeze.
Thank you so so so much to Mels & Jonas for providing their unparalleled lush Lucky Star grounds for the next best mini festival stage at Splore…and having me play for your guests! Thank you so so much to Sarah Bronte (@msbronte), Jake Rattler (@jakerattler) and Joss (@voidvalkernz) for adding me to the lineup at an absolutely stellar time, appreciate you trusting me with this task and being so incredibly supportive. I love this crew very much and still pinch myself about how lucky I am to be part of this community.

Now enough blah blah, enjoy this little piece of rerecorded set - cause yeah we are still no good of remembering to press record and oh no I still messed up some transitions here and there. Cheers to my inner critic and perfectionist who has to bear through this journey with me. X

ALEJA | Splore Festival 2023 @ Lucky Star [[ Saturday 2 to 4 am ]]

Magic, love, gratitude, belonging and connection - those words capture some of my first Splore Festival experience. These feelings are better to be present with rather than trying to freeze moments in time. 

A massive thanks goes to Lucky Star, who entrusted me with the privilege to open The Studebaker stage(formerly known as The Portal) on Saturday night, as my mobster alter ego Tony "Tassel" Caputo. Vielen lieben Dank, Joss, Jake, Christa, Sarah, Mels and Jonas. ❤️🙏🏼 You're the ones who made this happen for me and are making me feel like the luckiest guy in the world. 🥰

Saturday night was especially memorable and full of presence. I spent the night with a small crew of old and new friends who I felt so much cohesion with that night. We were exploring different stages, vibes, genres, ways of moving our bodies, and all round hilarity. That experience escapes all description, so I'll give up right there. Much love to you, you know who you are 😘 🦥

Thank you Darling!

The Studebaker Saturday Opening | David Juno | Splore Festival '23

Our next episode is mixed by a friend who is with us just recently, but whose music has accompanied us for a long time and regularly delighted us.

We are talking about @san-miguel-berlin, who has been shaking up the scene for years with constantly great releases and seamlessly interwoven DJ- Mixes.  

When not behind the decks, he lets his musical flair come into its own on his label Monada with a finely curated selection of artists. We are happy to welcome this likeable gentleman with us and hope that you enjoy his set as much as we do.

Not bad considering I was a last minute fill in, it was the wettest Splore of all time, and I had no monitors for first part of my set -the amazing sound crew managed to locate and instal another set without a break in the music.

Thank you to @beaconbloom, @maz_project & @antdotmusic for the advance copy of "Sky Father"- their recent release on @dawnpatrolrecords - it started raining as I played it. 🌧☔️

Live from the Crystal Palace @ Splore Festival 2023

Before the flames rose at the Effigy, this Sunset Mix at KiezBurn 2025 set the scene — a deep and melodic soundscape to guide us into the night, preparing hearts and bodies for the burn.

... From one dream to another ...

Happy to share the recording of my live set from Sunday 8 am at Mystic Creatures’ Creatures Corner stage. 
This is (for the most part) the same set I’ve been performing throughout the summer, and i’m suuuuperrr excited to share it with you finally! 😻

It’s hard to put into words the gratitude I feel when I get to share my music live. To move something in you is a dream come true. 🥹
Closing out the summer in that cozy corner, surrounded by dancing friends, warm smiles, and the soft morning sun, was truly magical.

Syzygy marks the moment of rare alignment – when light and shadow, day and night, sound and silence converge into balance. Echoing the equinox, it is a threshold and a still point between seasons where cycles turn and reveal their hidden symmetry. This 2-hour journey dwells in that liminal state, tracing the subtle tension between motion and stillness, dream and awakening. Another slow gem 80-99 bpm.

Wednesday morning somewhere in nowhere & day 3 on the playa of that magical place called Burning Man where your imagination is not limited, where money doesn't exist and everything could be possible where we had the great opportunity to play a sunrise set at Opulent Chill and couldn't be more proud of the recording and our inner playa soundtrack.

We also would like to thank each and everyone of you we met and who made this burn so special and a special thanks to @opulent-chill for inviting us to their beautiful, chilled camp and the great hospitality and everything <3

Please listen carefully this content contains trippy ingredients

See you next year 

With love

Für die Ewigwachgebliebenen zum Feierabendbier, für die Frühaufsteher als Seelenfutter zum Wochenbeginn: Montagssorbet mit Laut & Luise. Alles erlaubt, was gut tut und Gedanken kreisen lässt, nur der Name ist Programm: cremig, fluffig und ganz schön weich.

Heute wird's eng im Sorbetzimmer, denn @okuma-sounds sind dick, groß und gemächlich: Hippo Sounds for Hippo People. Euch, uns, alle. Zum Stelldichein direkt in Live mit 90 Minuten aus eigener Feder. Grüße nach Zürich, ihr Großstadtpferde.

Manucho @ NYE Afterhours - 1/1/2021

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.
