Red Packet Rhythms - Moody Grooves

In Chinese and other East and Southeast Asian societies, a red packet (紅包) is a monetary gift which is given during holidays or special occasions such as the lunar new year, weddings, or birthdays. 

This mix was carefully constructed to represent the trajectory and flow of what you might expect from a moody warm-up set, with the idea of creating an atmosphere. The sound is inspired by time spent on the dance-floors of clubs such as fabric and FOLD, where a policy of darker, more experimental sounds is welcomed and encouraged. 

The focus of this mix was to strike a balance between flow and track selection - with the idea that every transition should sit perfectly in place without disrupting the groove. 

2 hours spanning minimal, 90s tech house, techno and electro. 

Enjoy

Red Packet Rhythms - Moody Grooves Vol.1

In Chinese and other East and Southeast Asian societies, a red packet (紅包) is a monetary gift which is given during holidays or special occasions such as the lunar new year, weddings, or birthdays.

As a follow up to last year's Red Packet Rhythms - Moody Grooves, Vol.2 comes in to play. Equipped with smooth blends, long loops and a dark, apocalyptic vibe, this mix aims to build through various different sounds that are all linked together with the same moody, intergalactic atmosphere.

Focussing on a juxtaposition between old tracks and new, with a pharmaceutical sample or two thrown in for good measure - 2 hours spanning minimal, techno, IDM, breaks and electro.
