my fav.song! full flash , makes me feel completed, peacefull and very close to nature

DJ T make more of these! everytime i listen i hear something new.. playing on repeat. 🙌🏽

is there some way in which 
the past
the present
the future
are all the same
are all wrapped up
are all on one line i wrote write will write
instead of three separate?


in some ways
4 dimensional space-time
says yeah
sure
that's kinda sorta it:

all the space that exists in
this time
is simultaneously existing in
this time
and in
this time
and in
this time

so all the time that exists in
this space
is perhaps also
all simultaneously existing in
this space
and in
this space


but mostly
the world looks at me
says
nah dude
you're just insane



Somewhere in california, in a cool festival, time ago...

And I found myself on the dancefloor... <dj set>

La materia se hace energia. 
La llama transforma la ofrenda y libera la luz atrapada.
El calor convoca, transmuta y transmite sin palabras la paz de sentirse en casa.

Entre lo vacío del campo y lo inmenso de las estrellas.
Pampa libre, abierta y eterna.
Rodeados de nada más que la ciudad que construimos.

Los pies embarrados. 
El cuerpo agotado. El alma llena.
El aura limpia y la intención clara:
lo único que importa es lo que creamos.

El abrazo de la tribu nos conecta.
Vibración de seres vivos y en movimiento.
Armonía de mil frecuencias en una.

Pampa Warro se enciende cuando el sol se apaga y las estrellas nos envuelven.
Este momento es un regalo.
Un mensaje de Libertad, Confianza, Respeto y Amor.

Gracias @juancassinelli y @sidirum por este set y mención especial para @juantrouilh (aka A&B) que se subió una vez más al Warro.

The first episode of the brand new @dune2069festival was an absolute vibe! Incredible staging, sound, chill spaces and line-up of music and performance. Huge thanks to all the artists and crew. I was honoured to be included in this line-up of local talent, and we were treated to some excellent music all weekend!!!

This set was played from 2.30-4pm and is a vibrant Afro House / Tribal tech mix. The second track "Love Her Madly" is dedicated to the beautiful and capable, Juliette Smit who worked so hard along with Youri, Leandro and Keeton over two years to make this event happen. Gratitude and respect for the dedication and creativity!

Special thanks to @dreamscapepix for capturing the photo!!!

DUNE Festival - 2023

Wow, it's been a while since I posted some music to listen here. Feels good to share some progress representing where I've been at over the last few months. 

In the process of healing from a breakup, and taking care of myself I decided to travel the world in search of music, art, healing, and community. Lived in a hut in the Colombian jungle, played cool house parties in Mexico city, and eventually life took me to the beautiful ancestral city of Essaouira, in Morocco. 

Essaouira is the capital of Gnawa music. If you haven't explored it already, please go to google search and enjoy both the classics as well as the newer artists safekeeping this beautiful, spiritual musical tradition. Look up Omar Hayat, Innov Gnawa, and Mahmoud Gineya.

In Essaouira, through a series of amazing experiences and people, I was inspired to lean more into my own musical voice - and select tunes that were more aligned with the musical diversity that I want to advocate for in this world. I owe a lot of the inspiration here to my brother https://soundcloud.com/i_varlam - a pure soul and talented producer with whom together we expanded our boundaries. 

Also very grateful to https://soundcloud.com/maxsolely, who brought the sound and the inspiration time and time again. During one month in Essaouira, we experimented, performed, had fun, and most importantly supported each other in a musical friendship. 

This set is a collage of those moments, those memories, and those people. 

The set starts at 90 bpm, featuring an beautiful opening track by Domenique Dumont, layered with some recordings I took from the birds outside my hut in Colombia - and it ends around 122 bpm with some shimmers of Moroccan Gnawa, afro-caribbean compositions by David Walters, and a killer closer by Analog Jungs, a duo from Argentina. 

I hope that you enjoy it, and please do share and repost as that is super helpful in getting this project out into the world. 

Much love! 

Daniel (VeloVelo)

PS: I'm staring to take this a bit more seriously, and would love to get some international bookings. If you like the vibe, please hit me up :)

VeloVelo presents: Experiments In Essaouira

The Virtues Of Loss is the result of profound revelations, which came along a self-healing journey into the dark.  Bringing it to life became a creative guide that helped us find a spark of light to navigate the path in trust once again. And so, we felt inspired to translate all the wisdom we learned into 5 hours of musical landscapes to spread that brightness to all those wounded hearts ready to embrace healing.   

We are ALL letting go of someone, something, or somewhere … most of the time, even letting go of an identity within ourselves. 

Let’s inspire each other by sharing our gifts as we navigate high tides. Raising the sail is not a one man’s job; we are in this together.  

Hoping you help us spread the spark.   Leave a little comment where it resonates. 

Much love.

Despite the increased commercialism and popularity of Tulum, the magic does indeed still exist there, especially on the beach.  We certainly felt the energy during our Sol Selectas showcase, and the 5 days that followed, taking in the sunshine and positive vibes  this sacred land provides, to those who stop to be present, and listen.  I hope you will enjoy this 2nd chapter into deep tropical balearic grooves, crafted with relaxation intentions, hoping to cause inner peace and outer smiles. ~ Sabo

*vibes*

What a surreal existence we are all sharing at the moment.  Time is standing still now it seems.  The wait for an answer. The wait for the light at the end of tunnel, wherever we may be.   

I often think of my life pre corona virus and I feel it took, place ages ago.  In some other distant time when almost everything was a given.   Not now though.   

Only thing that is a given now is the power of love. 

The power of compassion. 
The power of empathy.  
The power of inwardness. 

The power of realizing that nothing is ever to be taken for granted.  

The power of gratitude.    

We are in a part of the world that allows us to suspend our reality here and there.  I plunge in the ocean as if the water is oxygen. Every drop on my body reminds me to breath the air.  To be present and to remember that the water I feel is the same water someone else feels on the other side of the seemingly infinite horizon.  
But it’s not infinite.  Nothing is.  
Only love.  
Love is infinite.  
Love is everything. 

And so is music.  

It is what has brought me all thats is pure in my life.   
That is true.  
This is why you’re listening now. 
This is why it’s never more important to feel, to taste, to hear  and see music.  It’s why I’ve called you to us.  It’s why my brothers are with me today. 

Please close your eyes now. 
Let’s suspend our reality and allow immense optimism reign. 

Thank you for lending us 
your ears
Your hearts 
And your souls.

All Around Mixtape vol.14

The Temple of Babylon pres.: A journey through movement, breath & sound

In today’s electronic music world there are not many artists who can lay claim to a legacy like that of DJ T. Born in Dusseldorf, DJ T. (aka Thomas Koch,) re-located to Frankfurt with his family in the late 70s. During his formative years, he fell for the hypnotic grooves of disco, inspired by his parents’ record collec-tion. At the age of nine he was already completely enraptured by music and that love affair continues until this very day. He began an obsessive quest to collect music, feeding his soul with everything from Disco and Hi-Nrg, through to early Hip-Hop and Electro, Soul, Funk and R’n’B. The groovy, infectious rhythms of all those genres continue to permeate into the music he makes and plays today, providing an intrinsic part of his sound ethic. 
He took up breakdancing, before becoming a DJ, playing at private parties ini-tially before landing his first professional gigs in the late eighties. This period proved to be a pivotal moment in his life as Acid House swept through Europe, landing in Frankfurt and taking over with the launch of Sven Väth’s legendary Omen club in 1988. The first wave of House and Techno took hold and T. was there at the forefront, absorbing all the fresh new sounds from Chicago, Detroit and the UK. He picked up a residency at the infamous Music Hall and held resi-dencies at countless clubs across the city during the next 10 years from Plastik and Dorian Gray to The Box. By the end of the nineties, he was one of Frank-furt’s best-known selectors. 
In 1989 DJ T. tapped into another side of his creative energy to set up Groove Magazine. Identifying a gap in the market and fuelled by a need to satisfy his own desire for specialised music journalism, which focused on his interests – namely underground dance music. Under his leadership the magazine was launched into the public’s consciousness and he guided Groove to become one of Europe’s premier dance music publications, which it still is today. 
DJ T.’s progression continued at a pace, as he launched his own club, Monza, using the experience gained through a decade of club events and tours under the Groove Magazine banner. He also invested his skills and knowledge into con-ceiving Get Physical – a label, which remains one of the world’s best- known House and Techno platforms. Though he left in 2010, T. still occasionally A&Rs for the label, lending his uncanny ability to uncover new talent to the seminal label. 
Production-wise, he has been consistent ever since his debut release, the ‘Mon-sterbaze’ EP with Steve Bug, which was released on Poker Flat in 2000. Since then, T. has released several well-received EPs, a slew of remixes and three al-bums, ‘Boogie Playground’ in 2005, ‘The Inner Jukebox’ produced with Tho-mas Schumacher in 2009 and ‘Pleasure Principle’ in 2011. His special touch has also been employed by numerous labels to curate compilation mixes , including ‘United Under The Ball – 30 Years Of Disco’ in 2011 and ‘The House That Jack Built Vol 1 & 2’ in 2012. In 2013 he celebrated 25 years of DJing with a very personal mix compilation, followed also by ‘Body Language 15’ and col-laboration with Defected and Strictly Rhythm to celebrate the latter’s 25th anni-versary. DJ T.’s reputation for being a master selector has been cemented by these superlative collections of music, each of which has received widespread praise, often featuring many of T.’s own edits of classic tracks. 
Despite so many accolades, his passion for music remains staunch, recently making several key changes to his professional life that have inspired him to explore new terrains. With hot new releases on AUS Music, Moon Harbour, True Soul and Jackathon representing his continued to desire to push his crea-tive boundaries. 
A highly-skilled DJ and producer and an A&R with an uncanny ability to dis-cover a nurture new talent, DJ T. is a master selector and one of the industry’s most influential figures.
