Dave Angel live at 909 Festival, Amsterdamse Bos - 28th May 2022

Sven Väth - Loveparade 1994

Here is the recording of the all night long, Back 2 Back set with Dave Pham and Myself, recorded in a basement in Collingwood on a Saturday night in October, 2025.
Enjoy.

Dave Pham B2B w' Matt Radovich October 2025

Concrete Nights is a dark, pulsating journey into the heart of the city after midnight — where concrete breathes bass and neon lights reflect off the dancefloor. The album captures the raw energy of underground clubs, blending deep sub-frequencies, industrial rhythms, and hypnotic textures that pull the listener deeper into the night.

This is a sound narrative of warehouses, basement venues, and sleepless hours between darkness and dawn. Concrete Nights isn’t background music — it’s built for heavy sound systems, shadow-filled rooms, and movement without thought. Each track escalates the tension and drive until time dissolves and only rhythm remains.

Fusing techno, industrial, and dark club elements, the album delivers a gritty, urban atmosphere for those who live after hours and feel the bass through their bones. 🌃🔊
