Percussions, uplifting vibes, driving bass, African vocals. A set inspired by my time at AfrikaBurn 2023.

Lets Burn Together @AfrikaBurn2022

Recorded the set while drunk and only playing songs that I randomly found in my files and didn't really mix before.

Like the wandering mind this set explores different genres of techno. Do we really need to always control the wandering mind with mindfulness exercises? Let the flow take you places.

Playing at the boutique festival "Trybe Aura" on a private island by Phuket, right at the peak at 3:00 as we were joined by the "Kolour Phuket" festival goers for the real afterparty. Starting off with high energy (outer spheres) and slowly taking the crowd to their inner tribal core to get them ready for the final sunrise set.

Playing at the party "Ripe 2 Rave" organized by our collective @papaya.sound at Coin Coin, Zurich. Taking up the energy from the previous DJ Gilles, slowing it down a little only pump it up again with my peak being "Amore by Augusto Yepes & Calussa" transitioning to "Mi Amore by Cloonee" all with Latin rhythms and recognizable trumpet motifs. The set becomes darker and more tribal, concluding with a surprise track.

After a great success of our "Forbidden Fruits"-Party in 2022, we hosted the second edition one year later, again ahead of the festival Wonderfruit. Together with the DJs Beetkat (US), Dr. Faust (IN), DJ Doubledee (NL) we dropped both fresh & dirty sounds with a view over Bangkok's skyline.

Schneiderei Club took over Tanzstube, Hive Club's top-level dance floor, together with the collectives "Host & Sound" and "Papaya Sound". Papaya Papis, Kaptain and David Jack, combine high-energy Afro House with fast-paced Melodic House. Kaptain started off with different medium-BPM tracks drawing their energy from unexpected beat drops and deep percussions, while David Jack added energy through increasing BPMs, distinct high-hats and almost ethereal undertones.

Playing at my birthday festival "Hedon Chapter 1 - Dragons' Rêverie" on the island of Brač in Croatia June 9th. The festival was embedded in a bigger story of the Hedon Community coming together for the first challenge, the Dragons' Rêverie, where an Eastern and Western dragon reconcile to form harmony. My set tells my musical story of dancy Afro House with influences from Elif, Myle and Fundi, foreboding to a next chapter in Latin America with even dancier Latin House.

Inspired by DJ Matija's style and ordered by the cult leader, Dr. Bananas, I encapsulated and explored a "forbidden funk" main part (from around 0:28:00) of the set with an intro that is true to the style I am known for and with an outro alluding to recent memorable experiences at Goat Portugal and Hedon Croatia.

Heating up the main floor of the official Burning Man decompression party of Switzerland, Zurich Decom. Starting off with "Are You Ready" by HitboiPanda and concluding with "Ich Tanz So Gerne" by Dan Bay, Valentin & Le Rubrique - hence the title of the set "Wieder Tanzbereit", meaning "ready to dance again (after BM)".
Another track to highlight is by my friend Siphe Tebeka "Ndiyekeni" (https://soundcloud.com/siphe-tebeka), coming in as second in set, setting a more melancholic tone (worth to listen to lyrics!) that my sets build on transitioning towards more intentional dancing & energy.

Just some kaptain navigating through a sea of electronic musik with different krews in Europe and Asia. It’s the journey, not the destination, that matters.
