there's something going round inside my head...

In November 2020, I was asked to warm up for Anthony Pappa at Brown Alley's rooftop for the Warehouse 3000 Rooftop Summer Series. I decided to keep it chilled and smooth and I was pleasantly surprised to see so many people grooving and cheering so hard to such downtempo vibes. It was a great atmosphere!

Checkout my live set recorded last month @ Funk Club in Mexico City. I played alongside Guy Mantzur & Josta. 
I closed the night so here is part of that live recording.  Enjoy :)

Closing set @ Funk Club (July 2023)

I'm going to try and put into words some context about this live set recording in a magical space, with amazing cool people and an uplifting atmosphere.   This set was recorded live on Saturday afternoon. I started around 5:30pm and played for an hour and a half. 

From the first record I had none other than Nick Muir (John Digweeds right hand man) by my side egging on the crowd for me.  We had so many laughs I can't even remember what about.

I knew it would be a challenge to keep the dance floor busy as I was playing on the  inside stage on a very hot day.  People would come in get into it and start dancing, then overheat and leave.  We would do the same thing no matter how great the music was.  

There were 4 other stages.  3 of them outside.  The heat was immense over the whole weekend.  Most choosing to stay outside in the shade where every now and then a cool breeze would waft by in the +30 in direct sunlight.

The mini Festival was held in the North East part of NL, called Elp 2 hours from Amsterdam on the high speed train.  This was their 3rd party if I am correct.   
For me as a long time DJ from the beginning of proper dance music around the early 90's, after playing internationally as a pro dj, this party was very special for me and everyone who attended.

We had 3 friends Tim & Debbie + Chris drive all the way from IOW just to join us for this amazing event.  So we had a mini UK crew that we could share this experience with.  They got there a few hours before us on Friday to set up camp literally right by the main stage.  Tim was texting me before we got there saying this place is awesome.

The people in this festival community are between the ages of 30ish up to as old as i can't even say maybe +70 at least. All veteran music lovers no doubt about that.  Every person was unique, no one had similar style and all dressed to impress in their unique way. 
 
No egos, No chasing guys or girls, no attitude between any of the + 40 volunteers who helped for 6 days 16 hours a day to get this pulled off.

Every Dj i met was supportive and respectful and loving being part of this event.  
Hugs and handshakes with no attitude or ego that I have to say is extremely rare between Dj's.  

I am very honoured to be in this group of talented awesome spiritual people in every way shape and form. 

I remeber saying to my wife Ani  at the end of the night when dancing on the main stage.  The only rubbish i could see was one cigarette butt.  I wish i took a picture as this is unheard of anywhere else i have been.

Everyone was torn between where they wanted to be.  How hot it was in that place, How much energy was needed to be in that place.  How hot they wanted to get dancing in that place and torn between other Dj's in other spaces some spaces cooler some hotter.  Some playing more chilled, some harder and rocking.  You found yourself just wandering about over the whole weekend going with whatever your instincts told you.  I have never been to a Festival where every Dj was playing so good you wanted to stay.  But then other Dj's were also playing really great music and you didn't want to miss anyone.  So choosing who you listened to was a constantly changing pattern following the vibes.

Smiles all round with zero attitude from anyone you bumped into, trod on or spilt drink..!!

What a weekend.  I am really happy with this set. I have held back releasing recent peak time sets for a while now knowing I wanted to record something special, a moment in time captured now forever.

Thanks so much to DepGlobe (Hilbrand) and Bob for inviting me to do my thing.
I really cannot thank you enough for accepting me into your organically growing family.

It will take some time for me to digest this experience.

Hope you enjoy this set and my long winded explanation to put things into perspective on how special this set was to me and others who joined us..
I'll shut up now and let the music play!!

I'm super excited to be sharing my Return to Rio Festival set with you.

This mix is very special to me as it's really one of the first times I've been able to express my style of music, and to do so on a stage like this was nothing short of a dream.

It was such a pleasure to play on the Friday evening at the Pool stage and I'll never forget it.

My creative thought process in this mix was to play around with the masculine and feminine energy in me (and all of us) using deeper darker tracks mixed in with dreamy floaty emotive sounds to encapsulate the yin and yang, masculine and feminine to open up each side, to stomp the ground and float away within the hour I had to deliver this set.

Thank you to everyone who danced and who came up to me over the weekend telling me how much they enjoyed it. These comments meant so much to me especially as this was the first time I could express myself musically like this. Thank you.

And the biggest thank you to Ricky and Alex Cooper for inviting me to play and giving me the opportunity to deliver this set. 

Lastly, thank you to my friends who supported me that day as I was crapping it! You guys are wonderful.

I really hope you enjoy this set :)

Love LUCY xx

Ricky Ryan @ johndigweedtransitions kiss100fm JULY2006

UK based Co-founder of PROGRESS:ON. DJ and Event Promoter. In 2024 Nasser has relocated from living in Cyprus to his hometown in Newcastle. During lockdown his live stream series “Melodicast” grew into an exciting gathering of music lovers on Youtube, and when events opened up this became a sunkissed 3 year DJ career across the beach bar, nightclub and festival events based along the Mediterranean coastline, which has further curated his style today.

Nasser’s personal taste is inspired by the connections he made with strangers on the dancefloor when a special moment is felt together –  which he believes is only achieved with phones away so we are present with one another.

He is one of the first promoter DJs in the U.K. to bring regular daytime electronic music events to clubs and outdoor spaces in his hometown. Celebrating it’s 5th birthday this year, PROGRESS:ON, has uncovered a niche of people of all age ranges who want to party in the day and remain ready to take on tomorrow. Nasser’s event was born from moving into a house where he could throw house parties with loud sound systems, and they attracted so many people it eventually had to go public.

Today Nasser serves DJ Mag's favourite clubs including Guaba (Cyprus), Digital, theCut and World Head Quarters (Newcastle), and a recent highlight BEONIX Festival & Sunset Tribes Festival in Larnaca.

Nasser is growing an international electronic music following. His cross-genre journeys through rhythmic, bright and vibrant sounds are influenced by the basslines of Serge Devant, the grooves of Jimpster & Marlon George to the energy of Butch, Josh Butler & Nick Curly. 

Nasser regularly DJs at festivals and venues in the UK and across the Republic of Cyprus for GUABA, KESH, AGORA ROOFTOP, NOA BEACH and BEONIX FESTIVAL and throwing intimate terrace parties in Newcastle UK under his event brand PROGRESS:ON. 

When not DJing in-person you can catch him live streaming in front DJs and music lovers worldwide on youtube, growing awareness for artists, labels and enabling everyone to discover brand new releases from rising stars in the scene.

If you would like to discuss your upcoming event or book Nasser, please feel free to get in touch!
