Guest Mixes

Slowly but surely the weather is turning, trees are greener, flowers are sprouting, & everyone's shedding their winter coats. Perfect time for another addition to the VIBRATIO)))NS mix series! Continuingthis year's theme of inviting friends to host, I'm delighted to welcome my homie Adam Cooke to add his flair to the series @acooke-1

I first met Adam at Kala Festival in 2022, surronded by beautiful music in the most gorguoes setting possible. It's funny, because whenever I arrived at a stage at the fest, I instantly Adam's curls boppin' in the distance, which became a sure sign that the music at that stage was excpetional. We kept on running into each other through out the festival, chatting here & there with every interaction confirming to me that this dude was a vibe. 

Fast forward to linking up in Berlin over the past while, & every interaction just reconfirmed my initial impression. Truly, one of the highlights of this period has been getting the chance to know him better & being fortunate enough to call him a friend. A wonderful human, fantastic ally, a true music lover (& selector) of all genres & a dance floor fiend of the highest order. If you see those curls boppin', know you're in for a good time.

Here's the mix in his own words:

"This vibrations is an audio trip of the past few months for me. Tracks that have highlighted my ups and my downs and others I haven’t been able to stop listening. The vibe is mixed because… that’s my vibe. I find it impossible to play just one kind of style of music so there are a couple of twists in here for your ears. We’re going from Bossa Nova to Balearic from Dublin to Detroit. It somehow worked… I think. I’ll let you be the judge.

Music by:

Harry Belafonte // Jimi Hendrix // Os Tincoas // Edu Lobo // Sinead O’Connor // Massive Attack // Moodymann // Chez & Trent // Chaos in the CBD // Axel Boman // Atjazz // Leta Mbulu // Donny Hathaway // Daphni // Patrice Rushen // Nu Genea & Tony Allen // Sun Ra // Miles Davis // Gil Scott-Heron

Feel the rhythm. Feel the vibe."

VIBRATIO)))NS #12 - Guest Mix by Adam Cooke

tenth mix & we have today Adam Cooke @acooke-1, who played the ROOM ONE HUNDRED back in September 2023! as a musician, long time dancefloor lover & Refuge Worldwide @refugeworldwide host his music taste is broad & he tries to incorporate a bit of everything into all of his sets.
"There are always interesting ways to fuse genres & styles that makes older music sound fresh & new. I also likes to keep things unpredictable. It’s challenging but also incredibly fun for me, my ears & the people dancing. When asked to play ROOM ONE HUNDRED the first things that came to mind were low ceilings, sweaty basements & low down dirty rhythms & that’s exactly what inspired this musical trip bound by no genre. From hip-hop & Afro beats from artists such as Leta Mbulu & A Tribe Called Quest to deep chugging electro disco from Patrick Cowley & Todd Terje."

'You Mean So Much: CAST' is a series of home recorded (or sometimes live recorded ;) ) sets by past & future djs of the event, expressing their take on the party concept.
