The deep, deep early sasha-digweed era vibe on this is by design: 6 of 18 tracks are epic legends from 2000-2005.  A sound and feeling ... hit so hard ...

Its a tribute to sets we heard over and over,  soaking up every sound.  And wondering what manner of wizardry conjured such magic. Then, the long road learning how. 

So - for me - this is the vibe that led to a dance music career.  Body and soul.

P.R.O.G. Volume 03 is an enhanced remix of a set streamed on Frisky Radio's Waveforms on 2/24/25: https://www.friskyradio.com/show/waveforms/02-24-2025/josh-von-at-02-24-2025

As the deadline to submit that version approached, I ran out of time to do it justice - of note, the final 15 minutes - which features 3 of my all time favs remastered ('smak' mastered), edited, re-sequenced and layered (shuffle mixed)over two modern minimal techno tracks.

Here 'enhanced' means I finished it up the way I heard it in my head. Adds samples from the 'The Realm' acapella, a smoother feel and flow with refined engineering overall.

P.R.O.G. Volume 03 (DJ Set 2025)

Production Date: 09.11.1970. Bonn, NRW, Germany. Male. Raver4Life. 
husband, father 'n all. just an ordinary man. in order to dance.
cosmic traveller. one love one unity.

I've helped clients around the world with Ableton Live services.

Friends and peeps I have done work for include Brian Transeau (BT), Bill Hamel, John Graham, Alexander 'Sasha' Coe's Involved (charity benefit tour), Danny Howells, Nick Warren, AK1200, and others.

Starting in 2005 I produced some tracks, put a few records out. I was also low-key obsessed with the DJ set as art form, using Live as a tool to harmonize, restructure and re-edit tracks together in realtime ie. non-linear mixing or 'shuffle mixing'.

At one point I developed a custom 17 inch touchscreen + hardware controller setup to do it live on stage and in the studio. Played gigs around Orlando and Central Florida for a bit.

On my sets mixes are harmonized and tracks deconstructed / reconstructed in new sequences by skipping back and forward through the waveforms. I prepare samples to drop throughout.

After mixing I do post-production, fine tune the samples and/or produce additional parts to fit. Then I master the output to make it pump and shine.

I've chilled on it in recent years other than the sets. But people ask me what I've been up to and want me to keep it coming. 

I'm still obsessed with the art of the DJ set. So here they are.
