This mix intends to act as a warm up pre-party set and is also the first part of a 3  hour long set I will be playing. I draw inspiration from Middle Eastern and African sounds, in an effort to nuance my electronic set.

Exercise 001 – calmer

In this second second part of my first set, I go remarkably harder. I still recur to African and Middle Eastern sounds – there are also a few Spanish influences – mostly in the beginning of the set.

At this open air, I had the privilege and pleasure of bringing the African and Kenyan heat to a cold and rainy Sweden, Norrköping. One of my hardest yet one of the more emotional sets I've ever played. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did!

Mårtens Hus Pt.3, Nyköping 22/7-2023

My set from the latest pop-up market at the coffee house 'Babettes' in Linköping, Sweden. 

I can proudly (if his politics would have been reasonable) say that the Swedish prime minister has heard me play. When I saw him, I changed song to the Norrköping based artist 'Dirtytwo's' latest track 'Embrace'. Maybe some caring politics implicitly entered his mind as a result. One can at least hope so! 

Other than that, the struggle was real trying to look at all the nice stuff, get some Swedish 'fika' whilst mixing properly, leading to some blunders haha.

My debut set at The Alchemist as well as in Nairobi from this Thursday when I opened the AURA event. Enjoy my Gs and massive thanks to AFU for the opportunity.

AURA at The Alchemist, Nairobi 8/2-2024

Started playing at 8.30 in the morning to energise the club competition and its participants at CrossFit Bromma, Stockholm. Organised by my dear friend Albert, this was one for the books. Not least to play hard techno through morning eyes haha. 

PS. Basically my first power mix. Valuable lessons were drawn and much much fun. Sudden genre changes were to agree with either full on exercise, or recovery, during the competition.

/dooount noooooooooou/...why it was recorded in two clips tbh🤷

NOMAD 2, Linköping 2024

In this set, I start loungy but slowly by slowly the heat is elevated. Always recurring to my base of oriental and not least afro "smultronställe" (Swedish for "lovely little spot").🕺Set played this autumn at the newly opened restaurant NOMAD, in Linköping.

If you're planning to attend the Karnival 30/5, this is a slower version of what's to come ey!

In this set, I exhibit parts of my repertoire which I'd play in front of a sunset. Still many blunders, but in it for the learning and the fun eyo!

Hoping that you'll enjoy this set, preferably in the sun.

Warmest regards,
