One foot in front of the other, sometimes side by side, always moving to the beat, stomping in the desert, watching the dust rise and we stomp some more!

What an incredible weekend spinning in the Karoo Desert at the Place of Dreams! We played the 1pm slot on the Friday at POD1 with this set, starting at a lekke slow 105BPM to ease us into the musical journey of Friday at POD! 

A massive shout out to everyone that enjoyed this set with us, it was an absolute jol to lay this set down and get that dance floor moving and grooving. We added one or two vocal remixes that will tickle your memories in the best ways.

I’m happy to present you what happened to be a true adventure & a musical highlight for me this year, Journey to Tarab 2019.

The story takes place in two chapters, recorded on the Drachen Nest Saturday night in Zsambek, Hungary.

CHAPTER I

It’s 7:45pm and I’m in the DJ booth of the Drachen Nest, my equipment is connected and I’m ready to play. In the center of the dancefloor, a beautiful tandem are performing live with a super cozy setup & I discover the talented duo Ameli Paul. The stage manager gives me a sign that it’s their last song, and I have my intro tracks and samples selected - I’m ready to go and ecstatic to play. 

As my first track is playing, it only takes a few minutes before the wind blows dark and dense clouds hover above our heads. The rain starts pouring; showers. I look down for only a few seconds to mix in the next song but by the next time I look up, everyone has vanished.

A small group of people with the most vibrant energy came to seek shelter in the booth and it truly cheers me up. I’m so excited to be there and I know that such heavy rain won’t last long, staying optimistic that people will come back.

As the rain calms down, people come back, one by one. Umbrellas, raincoats, mud & smiles. The crowd continues to grow and I get to meet my dance floor one person at a time. The rain has stopped. The Drachen is blowing smoke while the sun disappears & I feel the dance floor is finally in symbiosis. I evolve tempo by a few BPM & as my most energetic track of the set drops…

B L A C K O U T. No sound, no light, it is total darkness on the dance floor, a complete power outage.

Kora @ Journey To Tarab 2019 [Chapter I]

The Amazon is burning. Its rich fauna and flora, as well as its indigenous people, are in danger. The Rainforest is vital for life on earth, and we need to see this crisis as a catalyst for action.   

This set was recorded live at Newspeak in Montreal, and was made with all my heart. The intention is to raise awareness toward the urgency of the fundamental changes we must undertake as a species. 

We need to rethink our relationship with the Earth: The Occidental way of life is certainly comfortable and sometimes makes us feel like anything is possible… But hidden from our eyes is a plethora of highly unsustainable practices that need to stop immediately. 

 Please have a listen, please repost, and PLEASE discuss this topic with the people around you. Let’s find solutions!

The time is now.

The Earth is our home – let’s treat it as such.
Let’s think differently – let’s make a better world.

-David <3

A Dirty Love Story #11 -  Istanbul - The Abracadabra Edition - Mixed by Isaiah Martin

What sets the Playground Twins apart is not just their music, but their unwavering belief in service as the highest calling.

In a world of fleeting fame, they’ve rooted themselves in a deeper mission: to uplift, to guide, to give without asking. Through their NPO, GrowingOGs, they’ve spent the last six years nurturing over 700 young dreamers—teaching them the language of sound and rhythm, opening doors to futures they couldn’t yet imagine.

Their journey transcends the decks. From taking free workshops to the far reaches of the Transkei to inspiring their international audiences, they’ve woven their craft into something larger: a movement that keeps the arts alive and thriving, even in times of adversity.

Every beat, every mix, every set they play carries the spirit of transformation—an invitation to evolve. These Twins aren’t just DJs; they are stewards of a musical ethos that dares to dream beyond the self, to serve the greater harmony of the world.

This is what it means to truly stand out—not just in sound, but in purpose.
