Progressive, deep, sultry, melancholic house. A few cheesy notes. I didn't mean to end it there, but got distracted and accidently let the track end, haha

Raving Raven Chronicles::SESH03::Deep & Sultry

Theres a couple crackles and messy mixes that I'm not happy about. I forgot to adjust the buffer size for the latency issue on my laptop. And sorry about this silly beat repeats at the end, haha

Twilight Tales::Hunter Full Moon in Aries::Darker Progressive Deep Tech in a House

This is a journey of techno. A deep curation of melodic and hypnotic rhythms going into harder, sexy and groovy beats . Average of 130 bpm. 

I made this in the middle of the night, so i was a little self cautious of the volume and maybe played around with it too much at some points.

Synthetic Heart::A Journey of Techno

On December 17, 2020, not only did I get to make my public DJ debut, but I got to do it for my favourite label/collective: Architextures, and on a night curated by my friend and dj inspiration, Win. 

Due to the pandemic, I played on a Twitch live stream, and setting it all up was really fun. Because of all the craziness, I forgot to hit record until i was about 5 tracks in, and parts of the recording got split into parts.

I have finally had the chance to fix the abrupt beginning to the mix, and repaired enough for it sound and flow okay. To celebrate the upcoming anniversary of the debut, I would like to share this mix with you at last. Its crazy to listen back and compare myself to the way I mix today. 

There are some little issues i didn't fix. I just adjusted the parts that were the most bothersome.

Architextures::Lunity:: Drogynous DJ Debut - Dec 17,2020

A quick mix I made for my Zoom Grad Ceremony and to share with my fellow graduates.

NPower graduates! The mix is available for download!

Deep Journey Mapping -  UX Design Grad Ceremony Mix

Was super fun to play a groovy daytime set. It was a tremendously hot day, so I kept the tempo floating at around 115 bpm . 

Some of these tracks have also appeared in my recent sets at Wiggly and Proud (Pride night) and Camp Wiggly. 

The opening track is a shoutout to a good friend and one of my fave local DJs... Christina Barroness. She played the track at Camp Wiggly and everybody cried, and I wanted to recreate the feeling that me and my friends felt when hearing the track for the first time.

Summer of Friendship - Friend Zone Daytime Set

Dan Drogynous :: Bloom Festival 2022 - A PsyLush x Nomada Project Gathering

It's more of a listening mix than a dance mix. Gentle sways, warm lighting, warm environment.

WOULDN'T BE ME WITHOUT YOU :: A Mix Offering from Dan Drogynous

As I go through my post birthday existential crisis lethargic feels, and packing away my home for the last 5 years, I decided that I'm a pro procrastinator and decided to AD-DJ a little, cause it's been a while since I've mixed music at home, or made a mix in general. Here's a no planning, no fucks given, half distracted, but yet, somehow confident mix. Just a jam with no intention, no thoughts, playing a combination of tracks that I've enjoyed playing out recently. 

Does it make sense all the time? Not really, but neither does life. If you're going through the feels or having a hard time right now, this is for you. Whatever we're going through collectively, I see you, I feel you, let's get through this together. Lots of heavy shit happening on all aspects in the world right now, and I feel it all in my soul. Whatever you are going through, know you are not alone.

Dan Drogynous presents: A BDay Existential Crisis Jam without the Bread

My first ever recording! Only a couple months into djing when this was made. Had my controller for about 2 weeks at this point. Was planning to rerecord, but decided to just release it, after holding on to it for 6 months. 
 
A mixture of deep and progressive techno and house, inspired by the need to dance during these pandemic times, and inspired by the BIPOC rights movement and revolution. 

Im happy with how it turned out overall in terms of tracks and the dancing vibe I wanted. I hope you enjoy it, and let me know what you think!

Raving Raven Chronicles :: SESH01

After stressing out over planning a mix overthinking track selection and mixing strategies, i decided to discard all of it and just press record and started playing. Not happy with some of the mixing and sound levels; it's not really clean as i would have liked but decided to post it for fun and not be too much of a perfectionist tonight. 

A deep and progressive selection of techno and house . The first half ended up being more heavy than the second half, so this is like backwards progression, haha.   And had a few glitches and sound clips along the way too, so i might try and record this, but rerecording things capture the same flow as the initial try, so i probably won't.

While fairly newer to the scene as a DJ, Dan Drogynous (they/them) is no stranger to the dance floor. With passion and roots connected to many styles of underground electronic music, Dan Drogynous seeks to create the dance floor experience that they love to indulge in. Emerging over the past couple years of the abyss, they have been keeping dancer floor dwellers on their toes, bringing a non-binary variety of flavours into their sets and keeping the journey fluid. They enjoy spinning the mood and story that they are currently experiencing.

Making their DJ debut on an Architextures live stream during the first year of the Pandemic, they have since been seen gracing the decks for Wiggle Room events and Camp Wiggly, Bloom, Impulse, Bassline, Generating Beatz, Friend Zone, Lossless, Phantom, Skeledance as well as renegade beach parties and house jams. Dan Drogynous loves experimenting with their sounds to create an interesting experience that ranges from house to techno to indie dance, four on the floor to breaks, deep and sexy to bouncy and groovy. They are also especially fond of some of the retro synth sounds of the 80’s and acid basslines of the 303’s.
