Fox&Badge 1 - Event Sets

Fox & Badge @Noisily Festival'24

Psychedelic Glow - Brighton


I didn’t write this before the set. I couldn’t.
I had six hours of music curated, but this wasn’t the kind of set you plan down to the second. This was a story that needed to be told in the moment, with every track chosen by feeling—by reading the room, channeling the energy, listening to my ancestors.

When the music began, I let it guide me.

The Beginning – A Clash of Worlds

It started with “The Clique”—the sound of history colliding. African people stolen from their lands, forced onto ships, while Indigenous people in Brazil watched their world change. Their land was no longer theirs, and a violent collision of cultures began.

From that pain came “Keyta,” a Mandinka name meaning leadership—a call for someone to rise, even in chains. African strength pulsed through the track, resilient and unbroken.

Then came “Ahora,” the moment cultures began to mix. Portuguese, African dialects, and Indigenous tongues collided into something new. Brazil began to take form.

“Bonita” arrived like a slow, hypnotic sway. European fascination with Brazilian women’s beauty and sensuality—a force of nature that demanded admiration.

The energy shifted with “Ana,” honoring the Indigenous Curandeiros—the healers connected to the Earth. This track carried the whispers of the Amazon, the spirits of ancient rituals.

From history came “Taka Tuko,” a Bantu-Swahili mantra blending Afro-Brazilian, Indigenous, and Latin cultures, opening a spiritual portal where new life emerged.

The New World Takes Shape

The techno wave hit with “Along Came Polly” (Zac Brazilian DJ remix), propelling Brazil’s evolution into the future—tradition and innovation hand in hand.

Before we lost ourselves in the future, we remembered the Four Elements—Earth, Wind, Water, Fire. Brazil, blessed with fertile lands, was planted with seeds of many cultures, growing into something unstoppable.

Then came “Diwali,” a celebration of unity across religions—Indigenous, African, Catholic, Spiritist. In Brazil, belief is a blend of everything.

The Shadows That Linger

But the story of Brazil isn’t only joy. “Gospel” came in heavy, reminding us of forced conversions, Catholic oppression, and massacres. Yet, the spirit of the Indigenous people never died.

Then “Ta Da Da”  carried us forward—the sound of diverse voices trying to sing the same song (metaphoric embracing each other's culture), harmonizing into survival.

As the connection grows, It was time for "Samba". The drums, the heartbeat of Brazil. A rhythm that survived slavery and defied oppression, embodying freedom, spirit, and Carnaval.

With “Solitude,” I honored African roots—Candomblé, Umbanda—the spiritual fusion that held Brazil together. This wasn’t just music; it was ancestral memory.

Then came “Blinding Lights,” “Dope Dance”— Brazil’s wild, unstoppable spirit. No longer divided—just one, no divisions, we all become 1.

“Um Manna” grounded us in sacred rituals, from the past, the cosmos, the infinite, the extraterrestial connections, from Matchu Picchu and sacrede spots in south america where we recived information from other galaxies.

Carnaval, Love, and the Final Release

“French Kiss” brought Carnaval’s sensuality, the ecstasy of touch and rhythm, with lança perfume in the air, where bodies dance, touch and connect. “Si Quieres” fused Latin sensuality with techno, inviting us to dance and lose ourselves in life’s rhythm.

And finally, “Kak Nikogda” took us on one last journey, inspired by Röyksopp’s haunting landscapes.

Then, “Capricorn - 20 Hz.” The peak. The climax. Melodic techno meeting Escola de Samba drums. The ultimate release.

The Journey Ends, but the Music Lives On

This set was more than music. It was a story—pain, resilience, oppression, and triumph. Brazil—wild, beautiful, chaotic, unstoppable

And in that moment, playing for Fox & Badge Carnivalentines, I wasn’t just DJing. I was channeling something beyond myself

For that, I am endlessly thankful - muito obrigada 

yours trully Dayane Leanddro

CAROLES - LIVE @ FOX&BADGE LONDON

Set recorded live at the Carnivalentines edition of the Fox&Badge party on 14th February 2025 in London.

A melodic DJ set specially crafted to bring a bit of Brazilian spirit to the Carnivalentines edition. It mixes the essence of Rio Carnival with the hypnotic vibe of techno, which is the heart of the event. 

I played a blend of Brazilian Afro House with touches of Umbanda and original productions from various producers in our country, representing Carnival, the most authentic party in Brazil.

This party was a very personal experience for me: after 18 years in my career, I’d never experienced anything like it. It was such a special night, where everyone had their own unique energy and every person was, in their own way, the star of the party! No matter where you went, the energy exchange was intense and mutual, something hard to forget.

I feel incredibly privileged to have been an active part of this event. 

Long live the Fox&Badge community!!

CAROLES - LIVE @ FOX&BADGE LONDON

Set gravado ao vivo na edição Carnivalentines da festa Fox&Bagde dia 14 de fevereiro de 2025 em Londres. 

Um dj set melódico pensado especialmente para trazer brasilidade para a edição Carnivalentes. Trazendo a essência do carnaval carioca sem perder a essência hipnótica do techno, característico do evento. Apresentei uma mescla de afro house brasileiro com pitadas de umbanda e produções autorais de diversos produtores do nosso país, representando o Carnaval, a festa mais autêntica do Brasil. 

Essa festa foi uma experiência pessoal para mim: após 18 anos de carreira eu nunca tinha vivido nada igual, foi uma festa muito especial onde cada pessoa tinha uma energia única e todas individualmente eram a estrela da festa! Por onde você andava a troca de energia era intensa e mútua, algo díficil de esquecer.  

Me sinto uma grande privilegiada em ter feito parte ativa desse evento, vida longa a comunidade Fox&Badge!!

Burning Man '25 Pink Dragon 9pm set

Kimono Disco at Miki Beach - Burning Man 2025
Recorded live on Monday 8/25 - Christian Voldstad

Christian acquired his love of electronic while growing up in the UK. It wasn’t until he moved to New York, however, that he would attend his first underground party and find the sound that would capture him and inspire him to step behind the decks himself. Since then, Christian has become a staple of the underground scene, a party enthusiast, and an avid techno tourist.

After some time as a free agent, Christian’s sophisticated taste in music earned him a residency for Bespoke Musik where he has entranced audiences with thoughtful, layered DJ sets. In 2021 he became a resident of Beachouse in Ibiza, where he provides the soundtrack for sunny days on Playa D’en Bossa. He has also recently joined the All Day I Dream roster, having contributed multiple videos to the All Day I Stream series, as well as being booked to play All Day I Dream events at Space Nightclub in Miami, Cova Santa in Ibiza, and the All Day I Dream festival in California.

His music blends a focus on the low end frequencies with a melodic, sometimes melancholic touch. The end result is just as suited to a nightclub dancefloor as a desert sunset, with enough versatility for everything in between.

Christian now manages the Bespoke Musik record label, as well as helping run the brand with the founder, Rocky Ramniceanu. The second release on the label was his collaborative ep with German All Day I Dream artist Powel, and marks his first foray into the music production field. The two met whilst sharing a lineup in Brooklyn, which marked the start of their musical partnership, as well as his first event as a Bespoke Musik resident.

Some of his notable bookings include Gazgolder and Leveldva in Moscow, Café D’ Anvers in Antwerp, Sisyphos in Berlin, Output and Cityfox in Brooklyn, Do Not Sit on the Furniture, Space and The Electric Pickle in Miami, Beachouse and Cova Santa in Ibiza, and Robot Heart, the 747, Miki Beach and Pink Mammoth at Burning Man.
