Bonjuk Bay Stories // 01
This is the first of a series of sets I have been playing in the beautiful Bonjuk Bay, Turkey. I spent a fair amount of time in this magic land this summer, and I played long hours, that for once, I thought of recording ☺️ 
Every session is a new story unfolding, and I chose to start with the most recent one, a spontaneous sunset playtime that happened mid-August 2021.
I played this one on a Sunday,  it was actually my 3rd set there that weekend, and I had fun exploring my old collection. From atmospheric sounds to groovy beats, I hope you have as much fun listening to this one as I had playing it 🌅 
Stay tuned, more Bonjuk Bay Stories to come 💕

I am very happy to share the recording of my set in Dream of Utopia 2021! I played on Thursday night, surrounded by many familiar faces, the energy was incredible and it was, really, too much fun!
Thank you to all the dancers for this magical time together in the forest! To many more ✨

Bonjuk Bay Stories // 02
No better time than January to reminisce the unique Bonjuk sunsets 💕
I felt like sharing this session recorded in July in the Bay, infusing a little warmth to those cold winter days.
It was Bayram holiday in Turkey, the weather was hot but so nice, and as always, magic people around 🌀
To all the dancers out there, may the year 2022 be filled with love, music and many, many stunning dance-floors ✨

Bonjuk Bay Stories // 02 (jul. 2021)

It's been a long season in Dubai, and it is coming to an end.
Time to fly towards new adventures!
I played a lot these past weeks, and I wanted to share this special one before I go, recorded recently at Moe's on the 5th. I shared the stage with my dear Britta Arnold that night, and as always, it was full power music until the end.
Here is my set, one of my latest favorite - as fun to play as to re-listen to ✨
Voilà, see you around ✌️💋🚀
Check description for my upcoming dates 💕
@britta-1

Moe's On The 5th - Friday Night (Feb.2022, Dubai)

Probably one of my best experiences as a Dj ✨
Couldn't wait to share it with you, enjoy!
This is the first set I played on that day, this one daytime at the Rakete Open Air, first of the season in Zurich, main stage, it rained at some point but only made the energy on the floor more electric, was too much fun, what a ride 🚀
Second set (sunrise) played at Rakete at Hive Club will be uploaded soon! Stay tuned 💋
Note: recording quality may not the best at some parts but hey, it's live recorded so ✌️

Rakete Open Air (Apr.2022, Zurich)

I'm excited to share with you a part of the set I played at Le Grande SaSoMo Bar25 weekend earlier this June.
It was a Monday afternoon at the legendary Hopper floor, I can safely say that this 5 hours - sweaty - journey felt like magic as always at Kater Blau. What a weekend, anchored in my memory as one of my highlights of this year ✨💕

Hakkaset By Josephine De Retour

Here's to the rave weekend of the year, adventure time celebrating the amazing woman, artist and achiever @mira_kater among 46 other Katz dancing like there is no tomorrow.  It was a little crazy that she asked me to play on that Monday night at Heinz Hopper and I was nothing short of nervous of course, the Universe decided to test me a little more with some technical glitches to start with and see if I could make it through (ahah). I am so happy to share with you my set on that day (I call it my warrior set) and the unforgettable journey it has been 🙃
Thank you Mira for being one of my biggest inspirations along the years, and for making me the honor of inviting me to play at your legendary birthday rave. 
And to all the dancers for the crazy energy and love 💕 I hope you enjoy listening!

Joséphine de Retour @ Dream of Utopia 2024

For our 42nd release, Bucharest-born and Basel-based artist Don Son presents a stellar five-track EP. This diverse offering includes two original tracks, a rework, and two remixes, each showcasing a unique vibe and exceptional production. Drawing inspiration from a variety of musical styles— ranging from hip-hop and jazz to 90s influences—Don Son continues to refine his fusion of genres with remarkable creativity.

The EP opens with "Pas Vonda", a mellow yet captivating track featuring intuitive melodies and a subtle touch of 80s nostalgia. Its remix transforms the original into a deep, bass-heavy groove— bold and unapologetically infectious. 

"Voices In My Head" stands out as a richly textured
collaboration driven by a massive bassline, while Burika’s remix injects a playful, melodic energy designed for the dancefloor. Closing the EP, "Love Taxi" takes listeners on a soulful journey— emotional, sultry, and evocative of an intimate highway cruise with a story to tell.

This EP is a masterful blend of styles, highlighting Don Son’s ability to push boundaries while staying true to his roots.

Available in all Stores December 20

We’re starting the New Year with an amazingly versatile musical talent. Growing up in an environment of classical music and jazz, Joséphine de Retour absolved her education at the French Conservatoire and became a professional Pop and RnB artist.  

Few years later, when she discovered the House and Techno scene, she exchanged her mics with DJ equipment and her passion for electronic music was revealed. 

After spending some time in Beirut, Joséphine de Retour found Dubai as her new hometown. This is also where she co-launched an new party series, Deep Like, where she is one of the resident djs on rotation with her favorite international artists as long as being the creative director. 

We’re happy to have you on board, Joséphine, and we are totally addicted to your delicious Frostbite! 

Mellow. Classy. Deep! 

Cheers,  
The bartenders

A few days into the marvelous world of Fusion Festival with the team of Why Not…
After a few 24 hour’s rounds of dancing and exploring…
One of those mornings, somewhere deep in the forest, at our unforgettable camp Project Why // Project Heart + Why Not, we set up a little sound system and we shared the - unofficial - decks for the first time with Elif <3
Have fun listening to this spontaneous secret set, as much as we had playing it ! 
Dedicated to our bunch of crazy Project Why friends, thank you for dancing !

So happy to finally upload the first part of the set I played on Monday afternoon at Heinz Hopper floor ! Closing KaterBlau was a crazy thing to do and I have to say that the vibe that day was top notch <3

Grrr Mit Brrr, KaterBlau, Heinz Hopper (Berlin, 24-09-18) CUT

This is our 60th episode, which means it's a very special episode. And we've got our lovely friend, the talented Joséphine De Retour with a killer set. We sure love her colorful personality which translates beautifully into her work. 

The hippie-est of the infamous Deep Like crew, the party series she co-launched almost 5 years ago in Dubai, Joséphine is often seen floating from festival to festival, soundscape to soundscape.
As a stubborn optimistic and music hunter, and always looking forward to the next step, she’s been leading Deep Like’s musical and artistic direction while evolving as a resident, and now cross-borders DJ.
She mixes and matches genres as she pleases, transporting the listeners to hypnotic and groovy journeys, with each attendee following her intricate storylines. 
From Dubai she’s now regularly flying to play in Germany (KaterBlau, Ritter Butzke) Switzerland (Hive Zurich), Turkey, Bahrain, and much more to come.
