TLDR: Next time should be less words and better mixing :)

After recording a set for my gf, I found the inspiration to start mixing again. It's been quite a few years since I've recorded anything off the cuff, so apologies for the rough pitch changes and some mixes in the first half - I'm just going through the 1000+ (EDIT: 3500+ in 300+ folders!) tracks I've bought since I started DJing on CDJ's back in '07.

Also it should be noted this is recorded on a 16yo computer I built that was on it's last legs about 2 years ago lol. So if you hear pops and clicks, that's the Quadcore-9505 CPU and 8GB of DDR2 RAM maxing out :D

I'm not too worried though, the goal here is primarily to spark my enjoyment of mixing again, and in doing so, let all those tracks that one buys but never ends up playing out, the chance to see the light of day. Anyone who has been DJing for a while will know what I mean!

Things may be rough as we start off, but as the months go on, I'm hoping to find my groove again (and get a new HDD/SSD for my non museum-worthy laptop to fit the tunes).

As always, hope you enjoy, and thanks for taking the time to listen <3

Gabriel Gilmour - #001

Played this set on the side/techno stage back when DD was in the forest. If anyone can correct me on the year pls do hmu as 2011 is just a guess from the few sets I had played for them before then <3

Gabriel Gilmour - Dragon Dreamin 2011 (I think)

The crowds at Dragon Dreaming are without a doubt the most passionate and open minded I have ever played to. So when I found out I had a 2 hour slot on that gorgeous main stage system Sunday arvo, I couldn't think of anywhere more perfect for attempting my first proper daytime progressive set at a doof. 

Still did not expect just how much people would dig it and get into the journey. Sun was shining, crowd was grinning and howling. Amazing. You legends are why every year Dragon becomes my new 'favourite set ever' ;)

I can't thank enough the Servants of Sound and all those who continue to help make Dragon the mind-blowing experience that it is.

Hope you enjoy the tunes.

Rock on :)

Gabriel Gilmour - Dragon Dreaming Main Stage 2014

Synth leads with a live acid analog feel, carry the track and match the percussion from the Korg Volca Beats, as a spacey vocal floats above.

I tried to have fun with this one and write something a bit lighter than I normally go for. Thanks to the artists who put the time and energy into remixing it. It's impressive to hear how each remix goes in such a unique direction/vibe, whilst still carrying the signature elements of the original.

Stoked to finally get this one released, I hope you enjoy <3

Acid Wave

After a 2 year break from DJing, I was lucky enough to play for the amazing crowds and crew at Dragon Dreaming Festival again, this time as a transition between cranking psytrance and the legendary Doppel. Sunday afternoon, sun shining on the Love stage and hundreds of people out for a boogie - good times!

Thanks to everyone who came to dance and listen. For anyone who missed it or was having such a good time they can't remember it, here is the recording :)

Hope you enjoy xo

Seeing as hardly anyone looks at my Mixcloud, thought I'd start posting up some sets from there. I'll start with a recording of my set playing after Max Cooper in Canberra 2015, at one of Escape Ferocity's first events, hosted in a raised room overlooking the lake that literally shook with the ridiculously HQ subs and tops :D

Starts minimal, goes pumping dancey techno, then deeeep.

Hit up https://www.mixcloud.com/GabrielGilmour/gabriel-gilmour-escape-ferocity-pres-max-cooper/ if you are interested in a playlist.

Escape Ferocity Presents Max Cooper

This is a  mix I made for Xmas almost a decade ago. Deceptively light start ;) Still some of the best Tech-House/techno I've listened to. Apologies that I have no idea what the tracklist is.

This has been 'private' on Soundcloud for a while, but decided to make it public in 2019.  Hope you like what you hear :)

Gabriel Gilmour's Xmas Mix

A recording of my glitch/trip-hop set on the chill stage at Tribal Rhythms doof in 2013. It's still one of the best parties I've ever played at.

This style has been thrashed to death, but it's fun to listen to sometimes, to be taken back to that time. It features some excellent work by a range of primarily Aussie and American artists. Apologies there's no tracklist, shazam is your friend.

Hope you enjoy xo

Tribal Rhythms (Sunday Chill)

Finally felt the inspiration to record a mix, which ended up being a very small selection of some of my favourite tracks I've played out since my first gig over 10 years ago now.

If you've seen my sets in the clubs or doofs/festivals, you will probably hear a few tracks you recognise, along with some new ones. It was nice change to record a mix just for my enjoyment, rather than preparing for a particular night, sound or venue.

I hope you enjoy the tunes as much as I do.

Cheers <3

10 Years On

The awesome dudes at Rainbow Serpent Festival got me on board to play a chill set at their 2013 festival in Beaufort Victoria. 
This is the recording of my set from Sunday morning - opens with a few tracks from my journey demo i sent in, and moves through all sorts of chill psy and downtempo sounds.

Massive cheers to the Rainbow crew and the crowd who was there for it!

Hope you enjoy xo :)

Gabe Gilmour - Rainbow Serpent 2013

Over the Easter Long weekend 2013, the tribes gathered in the bush to dance and be merry for one absolute corker of a weekend. I was fortunate enough to play Main Stage Saturday arvo, to without a doubt the most cranking crowd I've ever played to. Absolutely unreal, you guys rock :D

Despite some technical difficulties i managed to salvage a recording of this journey through Minimal, Techno, Psy, Prog, and everything in-between.

Massive cheers to Dyl, Leigh, Jack, Loz, and the gang for the opportunity. An experience il never forget ;)

Hope you enjoy!

PS: Footage of the dancefloor during the set>http://youtu.be/n3DPxQRA2rU + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pi3ffkzI-g Check out those crash helmets and crazy smiles :D <3

Tribal Rhythms (Main Stage)

That time I played a tech-house set for the radio in little ol' berra. Appreciate the opportunity, 'twas good fun :)

Sketchy Sessions Techno MiniMix

I write and mix techno, house, progressive, psy and everything in between.

Bio: When he first started DJing, Gabe knew no bounds and used no equipment. He was a poor, unshod, head-strong fool, using his body alone to make the music. Despite his primitive vibrational mastery, he soon discovered the power of mixing together pre-recorded songs, and amplifying them through giant speakers. Since then Gabe has come leaps and bounds to play at parties around Australia and the world, including Burning Man, Subsonic, Rainbow Serpent, Dragon Dreaming, Regrowth, Tribal Rhythms, Prognosis, and Darkbeat.

These experiences continue to inspire Gabe to spend more time in the studio, where he writes his own unique blend of techno, house, prog and more, to share with Australian dance floors and beyond. His debut single 'Mantra', featuring a stellar remix from Fourthstate, charted at #8 on the Beatport world breaks charts, and was also welcomed into the Late Night Music label for their debut compilation 'Trajectory'.

Keep an eye out for new releases in 2019 from Gabe and the artists he unearths through Khao Records.
