Joe Fisher, Gridlayer - Into The Light

Introspective Voyage Set Vol. III.

I would like to close this year with sound.
What follows, is a voyage for the mind and spirit.
A journey to that place, so difficult to reach: our within.
Mixing ambient music & chill-out tracks is an alchemist job for the soul.
& it is what I sincerely want to share with you.
I have carefully designed this set to make you fly inside yourself… 
To seek the answers to the questions that keep you up at night…
It is a hell of a ride to perceive the transitions in-between songs… 
Some, are quick… lasting only a few seconds.
But some are long…. going up to five minutes… 
You will lose yourself in the mix.
No need to be an electronic music lover to enjoy this set.
Any music lover can feel uplifted & take advantage from it.
These almost beatless tunes made me shed a couple of tears.
I hope they get you emotional as well.
Headphones are strongly recommended for this one!
It is dedicated to my patreons, readers, listeners and students!
But also, to anyone who kindly comes across it.
So, just sit back, relax and enjoy.
It was done with earthly love.

This marks my 33rd live-recorded DJ set, skillfully mixed using Traktor DJ Pro 3 and a Pioneer DDJ-T1 controller on December 1st, 2024, amidst the scenic pampean-grassland fields.

Introspective Voyage Set Vol. III - 01.12.2024

Mayrolized. A Mayro Tribute Set.

Please welcome Pablo Maneiro -a.k.a., MAYRO- into your lives.

Here, I provide a glimpse into the epic music world created by this outstanding Argentinean producer. The 14 tracks that compound this set were crafted between 2019 and 2024.

He is a sound-bender, an acoustic sorcerer. His music is a spa for our ears, as well as a gym and a theatre. He has a refined taste, a sound of his own and the capacity of taking you through the storytelling of an entire set but in just one track. His level of detail is indecipherable and the way he unfolds his tracks is just a never-ending ascent into uncertainty.

This is why I tried to keep the mixes clean, only uniting the very end with the very beginning of each track, in order for us to overindulge ourselves in his cinematic approach of music. I did not use added effects either. Why would I add effects if he has already done the job with surgical care? You can dance to this music, or even meditate with it. Do not use a “mono” reproducer! Try finding shelter within a joyous “stereo” sound in a pair of good-old headphones!

It is my personal opinion with tribute sets, that it would be very rare to apply all of these tracks at once… Instead of using all of these Mayrohits one after the other, it would be wiser to use them as a resource whenever you need a galactic-side-track in your set creation. Regardless of this observation, this is a tribute set, so prepare yourself to be Mayrolized!

EMA Premiere: Gridlayer -   Beings of Light [Sounds of Krafted]

Every Day Is New Year. A Fast Rejoice Set.

Upon the dawn of a new year, I woke up feeling quite happy. Making amends with a New Hope for Humanity for the first time in years, thanks to Music, which will save us all. It is a fast rejoice set, in the sense of having the power of being able to shift the frequency of any conundrum you are going through, in just over an hour.

I sincerely hope you get emotional with this one & perceive its smooth ups and downs. Although designed to be a happy ride, we can find a sad introspective moment right after the first two tracks, and then a rather hard angry moment in the antepenultimate track. The rest is glory. I must also add that instead of finishing up in the clouds, I decided to provide a safe landing to feel well rooted with ourselves.

I had to record it twice, as it happens to me with several sets when I am not convinced of something. In this case, in the first run I tried to make it fit in just one hour and two minutes. It just wasn´t me, as I love long mixes. So, I went for it a second time and it ended up adding up to one hour and nine minutes. Seven minutes were extended, only by mixing freely, dancing, and getting all emotional about it. As an example, by minute 54 you can perceive a pretty long mix of more than 128 beats, as I was “lost in the mix” for a while, as also trying to set a difference between the darkness left behind and the light that was yet to come.

This marks my 35th live-recorded DJ set, skillfully mixed using Traktor DJ Pro 3 and a Pioneer DDJ-T1 controller on January 1st, 2025, amidst the scenic pampean-grassland fields.

Every Day Is New Year. A Fast Rejoice Set

Perseverance & Discipline. A Kamilo Sanclemente Tribute Set.

How do you get to be where you are now? 
“Perseverance & Discipline”, said Kamilo Sanclemente in an interview they recently did to him. 

I loved his austere reply, full of wisdom… 

He also said that there is a “portal” open nowadays, in which everyone wants to be a deejay. And that when this portal closes, very few deejays will be left… those who really, truly, craft their mixes and sustain their passion long enough to make it to the end.

This Colombian artist, deejay and music producer follows his own line of self-made sounds, melodies and chords, creating lovely galactic landscapes full of serotonin and Feel-Good emotions, which makes it a very particular tribute set… I usually say that I would not put one track after the other one from only one artist… But this law does not apply with Kamilo. All of his tracks share this in common: they could all be listened inside a spaceship while travelling at an autopilot speed through the Milky Wat Galaxy. Indeed, he would provide the best soundtrack for that visual voyage. 

If I had to choose one set to cry in an absolute emotional state, this would be it!
It is compounded by 26 tracks & divided into five “Acts”.

Act I:    HAPPINESS RIDE – 6 tracks
Act II:   GALACTIC STRUGGLE – 3 tracks
Act III:  BEACH SUNSET BREAK – 4 tracks
Act IV:  THE COMING AND GOING OF POLARITIES – 8 tracks
Act V:    PANGALACTIC HIGHWAY – 5 tracks

So then… pick anything you have to do in 3 hours, or do nothing at all during them… 
& prepare yourself to feel the Sanclemente Wave!

Perseverance & Discipline - A Kamilo Sanclemente Tribute Set

Radio Atila Armaggedon. An Eternal Tribute Set.

This is a very special set for me, as it was mixed in honor of Atila Armaggedon, the first dog I learnt to love, who passed away last wednesday, march 12th.

It is a radial set, worthy of being heard in the purgatory. It not only contains tracks ranging from 1974 to 2025 (more than half a century of electronic music), but also a weird first creation I managed to do after months of learning music production.

There are true classics from The Presets, Steve Lawler, Stephan Bodzin, Gui Boratto, Faithless, Justice, Air & Kraftwerk, as well as three tracks from my cousin, Gridlayer.


This marks my 37th live-recorded DJ set, skillfully mixed using Traktor DJ Pro 3 and a Pioneer DDJ-T1 controller on March 12th, 2025, amidst the scenic pampean-grassland fields. There is even one small glitch from my laptop right before and after hour one-minute 39, things that happen live.

The track-list of this set is available in my IG account: @brianlongstaff_mc

How To Quit Smoking. The Handle Set. 

Yes, indeed. 
I did it… 
I finally did it!
But, how did I achieve it?
Well, this extraordinary music set, designed to endure and surpass your darkest hours of any kind of abstinence or craving, tells the story of how I managed to accomplish this inner-mental challenge. 

Anxiety is, indeed, a long-fellow-enemy… In my case, it was handled during twenty years through smokes. But what happens is that the hit, with the same old fix, does not hit as the first time; it never will… 

Having decided to quit tobacco, and after reaching a peak point of abstinence while reaching two complete smokefree weeks, I turned my attention into music, trying to capture-within-it the rapture felt these days by mere oxygenation.

It is a HARD-SET, ranging from old-school Techno to Dark-Club-Progressive House; composed in an inverted way, meaning that the ending is much swifter than the beginning. We start dark, and finish reaching finally the light at the end of a 128 bpm-tunnel.

This marks my 38th live-recorded DJ set, skilfully mixed using Traktor DJ Pro 3 and a Pioneer DDJ-T1 controller on April 1st, 2025, amidst the scenic pampean-grassland fields. 

Having already uploaded more than 80 hours of music to SoundCloud along 2 years and a half of having started with all of this adventure, I shall now put the mixes at rest and dive into music production for a bit, as well as into the seventh art. 

You can now search for my video-sets in YouTube under the name of “Nature Household MixTapes” & my full name!

Deep Aquatic Hardness. A Joe Fisher Tribute Set. 

Have you ever paid attention to how exponential curves usually curve? They have a long sustained straight line first and then, boom! an upward ascent to infinity! We could say that Joe Fisher is as solid as a rock when it comes to perseverance & discipline and may very well be just about to have his epic ascent!

It is an honor to bring a tribute that encompasses lots of his tracks. It was very difficult to compile and achieve this set because, just as a puzzle or a sticker album, I did not have the correct pieces to connect the tracks doing swift changes among the key of each one of them. I could manage to make some -let´s say- groups of sounds, like putting together the collaborations with Matias Sapag, and others with my dear cousin, a.k.a., Gridlayer. It is worth saying that the tracks “Dark Matter” & “Time Bender” are presented with their remixes, but saying this is as well as nothing, as the remixes are so good that the tracks are not similar to one another at all. Really impressive!

The whole set is an acoustic atmosphere, so dense and rough, that it is more like a hydrosphere to me. A deep aquatic voyage, full of dark hardness that only Joe knows how to resolve for us.


This marks my 41st live-recorded DJ set, skillfully mixed using Traktor DJ Pro 3 and a Pioneer DDJ-T1 controller on May 19th, 2025, in the countryside region of Quemú Quemú, La Pampa Province, Argentina, Planet Earth.
