This is the second part of a recording of my DJ-Set at Waking Life 2023 in Portugal.

Vera @ Outro Lado, Waking Life 2023 PART 2

Canadian artists in underground music have managed to carve out a rather special enclave for themselves. One artist of this nature seems to be somewhat of a counterpoint to many genres that make up our current sonic landscape. That artist is Colin de la Plante aka The Mole. As a result of constant studio and live performance collaboration and a keen ability to unearth the best sounds from the cosmos, he has also produced some of our time's most noted musical highlights. Colin is a treasured name and no mistake. [continue reading at...https://trommelmusic.com/music/podcast/trommel-192-the-mole/]

Every time I consider to finally step down from the DJ booth with a bold statement another opportunity arises with a high promise to become the chance for an even bolder statement. And her I am, continuing.

So, what to play this time? One recent night gave me the inspiration: a music lovers' trio (me included) hanging at a friend's place while tripping smoothly on mushrooms (me excluded) was wondering which music would be the appropriate accompaniment.

I proposed my "Psychedelic Soul" set (it's here on my SC page) which I believe belongs to the most flawless and fluid mixes I ever managed to conduct. Somehow the flow happened almost by itself here, plus: "surrounded by nature, outdoors vibes and the heavy, monsoon-like rain must have been a great inspiration". So why not get this spirit back into the club, surrounded by a Get Perlonized nature, family vibes, and a heavy monsoon-like love for music! Consequently, back home I delved into the shelves of club psychedelia that had remained untouched and dusty for quite a while.

At Zenner Club, I was very moved when quite a few people in the crowd told me that they had only come to hear me play and that my performance was the one they've been tripping to in the most pleasurable manner. Which confirms me that it is advisable never to follow a safe path in favour of always looking for an adventurous music journey (in this case with the echo of a mushroom feel). The extra fun part of the mission was: 30% of the tracks I mixed I had never played before.

These experiences keep me continuing while still looking for the ultimate boldest statement to step down from the DJ booth. It seems it didn't happen, not even this time.

Mixed + recorded live at "Get Perlonized", Zenner Club, Berlin, 04.10.24

James Dean Brown – Get Perlonized (Psychedelic Soul)

Wrapping up the year in style, we’re happy to share the 2nd pieces podcast: a recording of Ivan Smagghe at Houghton Festival last August. 
“Everything has been said about Houghton and yet, nothing gets close to what it actually is and means. Playing at Outburst has become something of a regular occurence and I get goosebumps every year. Recordings are not the actual moment but some have been asking for the memento so here it is. Huge thanks to Craig Richards and Bobby. for their continuum of love and support”

Taking over after Nicolas Lutz playing a magnificent sunrise set to a packed terrace is no easy task, but Adi made easy work of it on the Sunday morning of Bonanza this year. 

Kicking off at 7.30am, Adi never let the energy dip, working through house, electro and techno all underlaid with her trademark acidy sound palette. 

Listening back, this captures the sun-kissed energy of that morning perfectly.

Welcome Dea Dvornik (aka Dea, ERIS, Bad Flatmates)!

Dea is a Berlin-based DJ and producer with roots in Slovenia. With a foundation in classical music and a path that has taken her from Ibiza to Ljubljana and finally Berlin, her sound is as global as it is refined. Her sets are known for their precision, depth, and emotional clarity—thoughtfully curated journeys that speak to both the body and the mind.
Whether performing solo, as part of the duo ERIS, or the collective Bad Flatmates, Dea explores the dynamic tension between structure and spontaneity in electronic music. Her work bridges genres and moods, weaving intricate narratives through rhythm and sound.
This recording captures Dea live at Karmakoma Club in Belgrade—an intimate glimpse into her world of immersive, boundary-pushing sound.

This mix was recorded live at Hoppetosse Berlin on Sunday, at the unofficial "New Kids On Acid" after hours, where I spontaneously and totally unexpectedly accepted to take over the party. I didn't have my records with me, as I wasn't booked for the party, so I ended up playing for 8 hours from my USB key I had in my wallet. We finished at 1pm on Monday. Despite some sloppy mixes I decided to upload the whole recording, only the last 3 h are missing- unfortunately the recorder stopped earlier then the party :)

Hard, heavy grooves from Binh, filling the forest floor of The Quarry in the early hours.

The Quarry is where late-night beats meat nature, and the evening melts away.
