A 100-minute progressive story carved from warm dust, hypnotic tension and emotional precision.

I’ve always loved building progressive sets - especially opening ones. There’s a unique beauty in starting slow, shaping the space, and guiding the room into motion without forcing it. That’s where this mix lives.

Built with long, evolving transitions and a steady, deliberate tempo, it explores the shadowy corners of melodic techno and progressive house - rising from sparse, atmospheric grooves to deeper and more percussive territories. The energy intensifies, but the flow never breaks. Each transition is harmonically blended; each selection, intentional.

This was mixed live in a single take. No edits, no post-production - just pure storytelling through sound.

Desert Without Stars (Progressive / Melodic Techno Set)

Kepposmetsä is a unique phenomenon in Finnish DJ scene. Not only he hadn't listened any electronic music before he turned to 40, he didn't start to go underground parties (or edm parties in general) until he was 41. It was love at first sight! Only a year after the initial party phase, he started DJ'ing and organizing own parties. After two years of playing, he has delivered almost 70 gigs also with some special occasions, like a b2b support gig for Whiteno1se & Omiki. 

Music is the answer to all you problems. Kepposmetsä likes to keep his sets dark and melodic, but with a twists of some surprise songs. His techno sets will vary from deep, bass house stylish 122 bpm techno to 155 bpm industrial stuff. When it comes to psytrance, the style will be pumping, melodic and aggressive shit with faster tempo near 150 bpm, but it won't be a surprise to find him play some offbeat gigs also. Kepposmetsä also plays tech & minimal house and frenchcore under different aliases, but you never know if one of his alter egos possesses him during a gig. 

Kepposmetsä is known of his unique fashion style. Animal jumpsuits, Hello Kitty gears, unicorn hats, BDSM styled outwears, leather, metal and very pink clothes are common stuff to be Kepposmetsä seen with. His sets are full of power and showmanship, but hey, what can you expect from a rainbow unicorn behind decks. Albeit Kepposmetsä started DJ'ing "twenty years later" than others, it won't slow him down, vice versa, not only he has the energy of a twenty years old, he has gathered the experience of performing by having a history of playing in a rock band and being on a stage a lot. 

Kepposmetsä really like to play b2b sets with different kind of DJ's and loves to play in strange occasions, like sex parties. You can't go wrong with Kepposmetsä.
