Live @ No Requests - 10 March 2023

I like to think of this mix as a sonic journey that is a testament to the ever-evolving nature of music. There are moments of horizontal movement, however generally the power, energy and details in the mix are in a state of flux, guided by a subtle rise in BPM and overall power. I tried to make this mix blend the depths of the deep underground with the magnetic allure of the mainstream. Sifting through some stripped back house and delving through both deep and playful strains of Romanian minimal. 

Things start with a bit more of a house nature, however Romanian minimal is the focal point of this musical voyage. For people this sound is news to, it is like minimal techno delicately crafted with soft, velvety hands. It presents a paradoxical simplicity that holds hidden layers of complexity, inviting listeners to explore new realms of consciousness. Subtle and ethereal, the music is adorned with delicate effects that gracefully dance over raw, organic and electronic drums and minimalist basslines. It's an experience that transcends the mere act of listening, allowing you to delve into the depths of introspection. Within this sonic tapestry, you'll discover the mesmerizing works of esteemed artists like Dragutesku, Traumer, Silat Beksi, and Crihan. 

As the mix unfolds, there are a couple notable Romanian pop edits by “Unknown Artist” (Dragutesku) on the DRG series label, which effortlessly merge the realms of the underground and the mainstream. These edits somewhat serve as a sonic bridge, creating a seamless flow that tickles your sense of nostalgia. They intertwine nicely with the mix, creating an energy that amplifies the impact of the moments around them.

Notable Labels:
Afterhours
DRG Series
Getraum
Modeight

Live recording of my 3am-4:30am set from Brit's That 90's Black Light Rave party (tough transitions and all lol)!  This is an all vinyl 90s throw-back set of song I remember from when I first started raving in 1993. All records pulled for this set were produced in the early 90s (with the newest release date of 1995) for that authentic 90s rave feel! I start things out with early (1990-1992) UK Hardcore and then progressing into songs (from 1993-1995) that were super popular at raves back in the day! Hope you enjoy!

1. Hyper Go Go - High (Cloud 9 Mix) 
2. Awesome 3 - Don’t Go (Kicks Like A Mule Mix)
