Hanoi with a blue sky. It's a rare but beautiful sight to see the skyscrapers sway in the heat, with the Ba Vi mountains towering above. The warm autumn air breezes through your hair as you cruise through the shadows of the palms, occasionally stopping for a coconut, and watching the boats on the lake. 

With nowhere to be, you sit on the shore and sit a bit longer while that deep blue turns to a brooding red. As the colors turn, the honking starts and two-wheelers throng the streets, desperate to catch a glimpse of the maroon before it turns to an also kind of maroon black. Your coconut's getting a bit warm - you'd better order another one.

Vita D's blissed-out vinyl only exploration of jazzy and synthetic sounds is perfect for when you're drifting around lakes, trekking up mountains, or doing anything that makes your day-off a day-off.

MBE #23: Vita D - Cirque Le Dance (Vinyl Only)

Friend began his journey as a music journalist in 2010 founding @psymedia before taking up DJing 2017. In 2018 he moved from South Africa to Vietnam and quickly established himself as a formidable DJ and promoter in the region. From sandy beaches down south to mystical caves up north, Friend played at many reputable clubs, festivals and tropical jungle raves such as Studio Adventure, Savage, Retreat (Equation), We Groove and Equinox Festival. His creatively curated 'This Is' club nights and prolific sunrise afterparties in Hanoi under his humble record label @magicboxengine also played a pivotal role in shaping the city's underground music scene.

Since returning to Cape Town in 2021, Friend has performed at renowned festivals and prolific venues such as Wolfkop Weekender, Bazique, Habitat, Into The Wild, Afrikaburn, Origin Festival and Modular Club. Often eclectic, sometimes obscure, always tasteful, Friend's forever evolving sound is heavily influenced by his nomadic travels in SE Asia, South America and Europe. Never shy to switch up the genre or tempo, Friend's versatile approach pleases dance floors - blending elements of ambient, house, minimal, techno, electro and breakbeats depending on time, space and the present.
