Whether it's live or behind the 1's and 2's, this is how I get down in a club near you

In the Club

It's been a while since I've posted a mix online but I came accross so many nice tunes these last few weeks that I felt it was time for a little home session on the 1's and 2's. This set goes in many directions and features music from Vakula, Kim Brown, Baikal, Headless Ghost, Eduardo De La Calle, CVBox and Mark Seven among many others. Oh and there's even a track from my upcoming EP on Muhk ;-)

Golden Autumn DJ Mix

In prevision of my performance at Cruquiusgilde this June (http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?713391), I've recorded a DJ mix for the Kommune crew. It features a handful of favourites that I've been playing for a while (Dorisburg, Aybee, Simon Haydo) as well as some new tunes from Session Victim, Lando and myself. The mix is more on the techno tip... although I don't think it goes beyond 124 BPM ;-) Enjoy!

Kommune Podcast #1 - Quarion

Stagnation is one of my worst fears and for this reason, I love to set myself new challenges. So I recently chose to ditch the  computer for live shows and started building a strictly hardware setup with the wonderful Octatrack as the main hub. Definitely one of the best decisions in my musical life ;-) From now on, I'll be performing live shows exclusively with this new configuration and you can get an idea of what it sounds like with this 20-minute one-take demo!

Machine Passion: Hardware-only Live Set (snippet)

I've had a string of very inspiring DJ sets over the last few weeks but I couldn't manage to record any of them unfortunately. Hence my idea of selecting a few current favorites and blend them as if I was playing in a club. It's impossible to translate the energy of a party into a DJ set recorded at home... but I think this mix comes pretty close!
Special thanks to Loe.Loe. (https://soundcloud.com/loe-loe) for the pic and Paul Kav (https://soundcloud.com/cousin-paul) for the extra gear.

Clubbing Afterglow (DJ Mix)

Inspired by my new neighborhood, this club mix is built on trippy, soulful, quirky and heavy tracks which I've been excited to play out recently. Enjoy!

The complete recording of my set for DEEP DEPOT in DAS LOKAL, a perfectly-sized club based in Wroclaw, Poland.
I had a great time there and I honestly think I performed one of my best sets of 2017 that night... I definitely was in the proverbial "zone". Thanks again to the fabulous people that came out for a dance plus Rafal and the two Jakubs for the invitation!

Quarion@DEEP DEPOT bday - Das Lokal 13.10.2017

Back in the summer of 2018, I was invited by my good friend Ripperton to perform for his "To The Blaze" party series in Lausanne's Folklor. Somewhere around 5 in the morning, we decided to play back 2 back and this resulted in one of my favourite moments of 2018. Merci Raph!

A pumping set that I recorded while playing in one of my favourite Berlin clubs, Salon Zur Wilden Renate. Some rough mixes but so much energy!

Live DJ Set @Wilde Renate

Yanneck Salvo better known as Quarion, has been a staple in the underground house music scene for almost 15 years. The Geneva born, Berlin-based artist just recently released his debut album 'Shades' via legendary Swiss imprint Drumpoet Community. With this in mind, Theresa Baumel spoke with Yanneck at large about how the album came along, deep house as a genre, and much more. 
To accompany the interview, we at Delayed are excited to showcase a phenomenal mix from Quarion, recorded live at a recent gig at Folklor, one of the best clubs in Lausanne.

This is a little teaser of my live set...let me know what you think of it!

Live demo September 07

One of my personal highlights of 2012 was to play again at the wonderful Zukunft club in Zürich along with my buddies Alex Dallas, Soultourist and John Daly. John recorded both of our live shows with a mic that was set near the turntables, so you can hear the music AND the crowd. It's the real deal! 
Equipment: Mac Laptop, Roland TR-909, Moog Minitaur, M-Audio Trigger Finger & Echo Soundcard.
Tracks: "Free To Grow" (Remix), "Vibrations", "A Night At The Zukunft" (of course!), "Karasu" and "Turn Off The Light".
Special thanks to John Daly for recording this session!

They say nothing gets lost on the internet but for some reason this decade-old mix seems to have fully disappeared from all portals... so when someone recently reached out via Facebook and told me that he would like to listen to it "again during quarantine", I thought it would be the perfect excuse to finally upload that mix on my own page.
Back in 2009, I recorded this selection for Mono_Cult, a cool and dedicated crew from Leeds who were running parties and a podcast series. The series had a strictly "no playlist" policy and I remember getting quite a few "Track ID?" requests via mail or myspace (LOL) when the mix was published... let's see if it's still the case now!
Enjoy!

ps: special thanks to the Mono_Cult crew and Ed for reaching out.

ppps: that pic was taken in Tokyo in 2009. I was proud that Retreat's second EP by Session Victim (featured in the mix) found its way over there!

2009 Mono_Cult DJ Mix (2020 Remaster)

At the beginning of January last year, Iron Curtis and I played a memorable all-nighter at Paloma Bar for which we decided to dig deep in our Broken Beat and Dubstep collection so that we could try to stay clear of the four to the floor. Of course, we ended up playing House and Techno as well :-)
This was a special night for multiple reasons, the most peculiar one being that this gig would turn out to be my last club performance before the pandemic...
This edit of the original 10-hour recording covers roughly the first four hours of our back 2 back. 
Special thanks to Finn and the Palomas for the invitation (and the recording!) and all the friends who showed up that night.

Iron Curtis B2B Quarion - Astral Basement @ Paloma Bar, 11 Jan 2020

This is a very special DJ Mix I've recorded for my mates from http://melbournedeepcast.blogspot.com
It's contains some of my all-time favourite "Deep" tracks in various genres (House, Garage, Techno, Dubstep...) and it was very emotional to record this set as a lot of memories came back to me...
I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do! More info &amp; tracklisting here:
