9am Zouk In Foco

One Zouk São Paulo - Saturday

Zouk Heat 2024 Thursday

I started my set with Lambada and Brazilian Zouk for the "Keeping it Rio" theme for the lamba dancers at Zouk Heat.  Often times at events the lamba dancers like to have meet ups to gather and dance together and switch partners frequently.  For Zouk Heat 2024 they asked me if I could play lamba so they could all be on the dance floor and dance together.

2024 Zouk Heat Friday Night  Lamba Start

I was asked to play a Lambada friendly set in prime time on Sunday evening during the Canada Zouk Congress.  This is one of my favorite events on the planet.  The energy in the room was amazing all night.  This was my last set for the event. I got the first song from my good friend JC Arzaga.

Zouk Sense - Friday Set

Conexao '24 Saturday

SBKSF - Saturday Live Energy

Energy 3-8 | 71-82 BPM

Saturday evening for BraZouky US in DC, USA on 11/09/24.

Chapters: Charmed > hot and bothered > wistful > intimate > playful and flirty.

DJ Nerds: When I talk about waves and energy shapes, this is a near-perfect example (enough that I almost named the set for the sin wave describing the progression of energy). It starts at mid energy and builds to its peak energy around the 1/3 mark. It then cools down to its minimum energy at almost exactly the 2/3 mark before returning to mid energy right at the end.

Charm | BraZouky US 2024 (Part 2)

Energy 3-9 | 73-86 BPM
 
The closing set for the Marck & Melyssa Brazilian Zouk Weekender in Boston, hosted by the Zouk Pirates on January 6, 2024.

Chapters: A cursed pairing > traditional > slow but hype > since I know some people who like Halsey > chill R&B >  > build it up then kill it, but speed it up, but also slow it down again, but also make it more energetic > now we're at a party > now we're at a beach > "It's time to try to break people" > surprise electronica > surprise traditional > surprise encore.

>> DJ Nerds << In a recent private with DJ Kakah, I was challenged to experiment more outside the box. The only "planned" part of this set was the opening couplet and, beyond that, the idea was to play.  In this set I ended up transitioning in places I normally wouldn't, between genres that shouldn't work together, and playing with layering and mashups in bold, new ways. As a result, I felt more "visible" as a DJ, with more in-your-face (yet still smooth) transitions, and created a set with some of my strangest energetic / BPM curves to date. Hope you enjoy this little experiment 😉
