Psychedelic Trance / Tech Trance DJ Sets

A mix with conflicted intention:
A mix to mark the 21st Birthday Party for Planet Zogg;
A demo to help the Noisily Festival programmers place us, appropriately, in their lineup.
In the end, I mostly just played what felt like coming out - which is very representative of the sets I play at Planet Zogg.
Its a mix of old and new tracks - not quite as cross genre as I might sometimes play. I think that was the Noisily influence.

Now That's What I call Zogg 21

I had the privilege of closing the Sunrise Stage at the 2024 Beatherder Festival and here it is...
I am trusting to the magical atmosphere of the stage, which prevailed throughout the weekend and untill the end of my 'just one more', final track. I promised myself not to overly scrutinise the mix and just to share it, having made sure it was all mine, by scrolling quickly through, and not pausing to inspect the minutiae of the sound.
Thanks to Dave Leadbeater, for the recording, and high quality sound of the weekend.
Thanks to all of the Sunrise crew, who work so hard to create the beautiful ambience of the stage. The outstanding decor, lighting, sound and stewarding of the space make it a jewel in the northern crown that Beatherder proudly wears.
Long Live Beatherder, Long Live Sunrise.

greg zogg, Beat Herder 2024 - Sunrise Stage - Sunday

We are at Equinox Festival. Getting here has been a real challenge. It's a mental health thing. Is it ironic that a lifetime working in mental health has led me here?
Feeling out of place, like an outsider, rapidly diminishes in the face of the acceptance and warmth of the inclusive Equinox Festival community.
It's Saturday Night. The atmosphere at the Sunrise stage is electric! It's ready to erupt. I feel that all I want to do at this point in time is be a part of this collective energy, get behind the decks & let myself go.
I completely lose myself in the mix.  I feel part of the dancefloor, freed from the cage that has held me captive. It is visceral, raw and in the moment.
Cathartic, lustral, life-affirming, transcendent. (Even if it feels I am labouring the point here...)
90 minutes of absolute clarity, connection and insight.
It is sublime to have that interaction with the tribe and to share a timeless moment as part of something larger, leaving behind the day to day isolation I have experienced for much of the past 4 months.
Dave (Leadbeater) hits record & the outpouring that is my set is captured in digital splendour. (Ta very much, Dave)
It reflects the spontaneity, impulsivity & disinhibition that took control.
Praise be! It's here, rough edges and all.
Thanks for reading, thanks for listening.

Greg Zogg Equinox Festival 2025 Sunrise Stage

24 years of parties!!
That's over 200 Planet Zogg parties...
It was such a privelage to play the end of the night, to that dancefloor. To those beautiful people! Full of visceral energy, love and individuality.
The opening tune is a recent remix project that I had been working on with Sabretooth (AKA Ben Fraser). The original track, 'Pharmonic' is the first in a new project from Jack Allsop (Act One). Thanks for that guys. Dont forget to keep listening at the end. After a few seconds of silence (you can't hear the rapturous cheers and applause :-) the last couple of tracks start. The Louis Armstrong ritual is also represented, as the recording kept running.
Thanks to: Huw (Sinai Sound System, for recording the set); Chris Tregenza, for the photo; Mrs Gregory for the art; The Zogg family, for years of blissful, life affirming dancing; The Zogg crew, who work to keep this journey never ending..
Big Love
One Zogg, One Love

greg zogg, closing at the Planet Zogg 24th Birthday Party

Here it is!
With minimal delay or pondering...
My closing set from the 2023 Planet Zogg halloween ball.
What a party that was!!
Such a thrill, playing to a packed dancefloor, full of the Zogg Family, right up to 6am. (yes, again! Let's not take it all for granted)
The set is just a little faster than I would normaly prefer to play, but that was the nature of the night and preceeding set. (thanks Lorraine, for coming along and playing such a stormer!!)
Also.. adit... keep listening, I the set finishes and then there is 'one more'.. featuring the unreleased (at the time) preview of a wonderful bootleg. I felt privelaged to be able to play that (Thanks Jack, Act One).
ONE LOVE, ONE ZOGG
