DJ sets at Basement CPH

The mix can be described as ´banging summer grooves´. This was my first session at Refshaleøen at a very sweaty afterpart made by an amazing Brazilian/Danish couple based here in Copenhagen.

Erik Francis | OpenAir KPH AfterParty | July 2021

This is a clip from the second last hour of a four-hour set that I played on a Sunday morning in the beginning of July 2021. The party was located just outside Copenhagen. During the first three hours the mixer distorted the recorded sound because the sound was peaking just as much as the party was peaking. The set is all about bright, energizing Detroit techno- and electro with an ending that consists of UR classics. It was a dusty and happy crowd dancing in the morning mist. People were really maxing out their needs. The crowd had an obvious desire to dance together after too much waiting. It was a hunger for going all out after the boring Cov19 lockdown. We had so much fun that night and morning. I played from 05 to 09 at this party while I played a two-hour set at another afterparty earlier that night. Playing that many hours was really inspiring. The more I played the more the music was flowing. Fellow DJs are talking about being "In the zone". Well, we were definitely "In the zone". How is it possible to perform so many hours you may ask? It was a continuous flow of energy to and from the crowd. In addition, the context was strongly contributing; among others the smell of dirt and grass, skies of dust, and the heat of the sun.

Lots of love to the crowd of this party and a special thanks to Miriam, Ezben, Dainius, Bjarke, Aya, and Victor.

Ambient and other mellow and groovy stuff from outta space and around played at Joy Bar Copenhagen for the guest's aural listening experience. A set that takes you from ground zero to somewhere. Have a listen if you would like a smooth start on a Thursday or any other day of the week.

Techno and chicago house, a DJ set that I played at Basement 05 o´clock in the morning. Basement is a beautiful industriual venue in the heart of Copenhagen. The crowd was so nice. We had a good time :)

Basement this night was all about being together. At the dancefloor and in the DJ booth. We were four DJs playing and we all had our one hour solo sets each. But the real fun was to play B2B2B2B2B. We played B2B the four of us the last two hours and it was so much fun! This hour is my solo output in between the B2B sessions. I had so much energy to give that night and found the sweet spot in a very festive techno with funk and energy. It is so rewarding when the crowd is responsive and this crowd surely was. It was an exchange of happy good vibes, a lot of dancing and fun. Lots of love from Copenhagen :)

In the midst of the night in an ancient industrial cellar: sweaty bodies moved mechanically to strange repetitive sounds. Lights in colors and blurry stroboscopic pictures moved with the sound. While a misty smoke blurred the sights.

Wow what a night!! Bliss at Basement was above all expectations. The Bliss Collective did really facilitate for a great party by owning the industrial venue with visuals in a very immersive and delicate way. 

It was an honour to play alongside Miss Puppy, Phloem, Ekkel, Peachlyfe and Sven Rellek. 

My opening was a track by Sri Hari. This track has many memories from my hometown Oslo and my friends there. I also played tracks by Juno Reactor, Eat Static and from the Warning label.

Such an energy!! Loved the crowd!!

5AM out in the nature we all got totally carried away. The crowd was amazing and did most of the job getting the energy right. Domas, a very friendly guy from Lithuania, that I had the pleasure to meet, decided to dance in his underwear and use his socks as gloves. At that point the flow of energy was left to Nataraja, the dancing avatar of Shiva. We moved in a symbiosis driven by chaos and happiness. It was a pleasure playing this set. Thank you!
