The Child, Jan 2009

SKANKING FARMERS!!! One of the most memorable and epic festivals I've ever been to or played at! A magical location at the Mira river, a massive dub tower soundsystem, and a fresh organization dedicated with heart and soul! And what a crowd... full power! Respect, and thank you for having me play 🙏

Yo - El @ Skanking Farmers Festival, Alentejo, 2021 - 08 - 14

Thank you to the crew of Space Safari for this great event...and a huge thank you to the crowd, the energy you brought to the dance floor was unique!!!

Yo - El @ Space Safari, Massembre Belgium, August 2021

Thank you, Kuf Kuf crew for inviting me, thanks to all the dancers cozily filling the dance floor. Belgium rocks, was a veeeeery nice one :-)

Yo - El @ Kuf Kuf, Caplette, Flobecq, Belgium, Oct 2021

Mid November and still open air party in the Algarve!!!
So nothing better than some heart- and body-warming acid-core to conquer 5° in a humid valley ;-)
And as there ain't no coincidences in life, special thanks to the Belgian crew I met there, you gave the party an extra pump, and inspired me to add some Belgian classics.
Sorry for the few unintended beatjumps, it was my first set with a new controller, still getting the hang of it ;-)

2022 - 06 - 17 Yo - El @ Kuf Kuf, Chinastraat, Ghent, Belgium

2022 - 06 - 18 Yo - El @ A Hybrid Night Out, Chinastraat, Ghent, Belgium

A special blend of older and newer songs that bring you into the atmosphere of what has in my humble opinion been the most significant and future-shaping decade in musical history: the eighties. 
Thanks to the digital era, lots of hard-to-find music from back then has now been made available for purchase, and this mix contains some stuff that had never even been released on anything else than a cassette.
It’s not intended for the dance floor, and certainly not as background music. Rather theatrical and poetic, it’s best enjoyed with a magnificent sunset or a spectacular thunderstorm, along with a glass of "1431 Chateau Dracul".
Enjoy :-)

Femmes Aux Yeux D'Argile (July 2022)

Here it is folks, the full 4 hours set from this crazy night at the Space Safari festival. Travelling from 1981 to 2022 with an eclectic blend of Dark Disco, Electro-wave, New Beat, New Wave, Post-punk, Cold Wave, EBM,...
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did 😎🤩🥳

Song To The Siren, Nov 2018

Essit sin, Feb 2019

A tribute to John Carpenter, with excerpts from "Escape from New York", those who know this cult movie might recognize the music, I hope the others won't :-) 
The mix captures the atmosphere of the movie, combining Dark Disco with wavy tracks from the 80's.

Gowax and Dj Yo-el are also working on bringing this dance-able Dark disco genre to you in Antwerp and Berlin . First stop 
Antwerp : Sat 18 May 9PM - 4 AM Kleine Hedonist
