Out Now: Acid Bombay (EP)

In Between is a two-track deep techno release that captures the fragile balance of love and loss through music.

Featuring the tracks "I Love You" and "I Lost You", this album tells an emotional story that oscillates deep between desire, melancholy, and catharsis.

In Between - EP

Thank you so much Boris and Karsten for inviting me to play at Firspace stage at @zugvoegelfestival So glad I finally made it after 3 years of discussing and wishing to play here.

Claptrap DJ Set @ Zugvogel Festival, Firespace Stage, Germany | Sept. 2021

DISCLAIMER: 
Every time I play in a club or a party, I challenge myself to experiment with different electronic music styles. To keep it interesting and fun for the dancefloor and me, I like to think of my sets as musical journeys and so I never set my playlists in advance. Every DJ has their style. For me, I always go with the flow and select tracks based on the dancefloor's vibe or wherever I wish to take the party. While this is the adrenaline rush I chase (and love), the pressure of what to play next, in the time pressure also sometimes leads to unsuitable track selections and mixing errors - and this is what you might hear in this mix. I was not optimistic about putting this set on Soundcloud; however, I chose against it and embrace the mistakes as "lessons". Here I am presenting you a DJ set in all its natural form, with what some may call 'odd track selections' and some 'mixing errors'; I hope you can overlook them and enjoy this mix nonetheless. Thank you for reading and your understanding...

Claptrap DJ Set | Dreamers Camp | Afrikaburn 2022

They say that there’s a glade, deep in the woods – an eerie place where many souls have been swallowed by the wilderness, where one’s animalistic instincts take over and people lose themselves to the rhythmic drumming of the earth.

The Glade is as much an art installation as a sound camp that takes place at the Borderland, a regional Burn, in Sweden. In this hidden clearing – adorned by ancient, mystical ornaments, faintly illuminated from the other side of the veil – the feral and the wild are welcome.

This was my second time playing at Fusion. Last time was in 2019 at the Salon de Baille and ever since I could not wait to be back there. And, I wanted to play at Rauberinnenholle so badddd. Thank you life for alligning the stars and making this happen again. Thank you to all my friends and to all the people who danced with me; a special thank you to the Mensch Meier crew for believing in me. 

I never plan my sets and let them flow, taking whichever direction, and this is what I love about DJing. Enjoy the two hours of bouncy Bollywood edits, house, techno, acid disco, whatever came to me at that moment.
