After having recently been to Tulum (Mexico) and having enjoyed the excitement of live shows again, I was inspired by the many artists I saw and decided to make a mix with all this new music I heard (yes, Shazam was on fire). The mesmerizing surroundings blending both the beauty of the bright green jungle and the jaw-dropping turquoise color of the their waters, combined with the performances by artists like Colyn, Eelke Kleijn and Monolink among others was an unforgettable experience that I hope I was able to capture to some extend in this mix.

My set at The Listening Room for Cardio, an event series from Black Hearts.

Black Hearts is a community that only speaks the language of music and whose members you'll find all over Chicago at every event. That's why playing in front of such a dedicated crowd, at this intimate venue, felt really special.

Live Set @ The Listening Room | Black Hearts - Chicago

2 weeks ago, I had the opportunity to warm up the night for the incredible and emblematic artist from Palestine, Sama' Abdulhadi.

I've spent uncountable nights at Primary Night Club, but I've never felt such a powerful energy transmitted from a DJ, like she did. The intimacy and proximity to the artist that this club provides is like no other and that contributes to the unbeatable experience.

It was a night that I will never forget!

Let me take you to Burning Man and explore playa with this chill organic house.

Welcome to Organic House - Burning Man 2020 Edition

Hand of the Wit was first introduced into music when he started playing the piano as a kid while growing up in Spain. But the event that drastically changed things for him was attending his first Burning Man in 2018.

The type of music showcased in Burning Man was like nothing similar from the main EDM festivals. The hypnotic and organic melodies of the so called "Playa Techno" genre, among others, which could take you to different places, really opened his mind to limits he did not know existed.

Since that moment, he decided that he wanted to become a producer and a DJ, to try to make people enjoy as much as he did when listening to all those Burning Man artists.
