DJ FARKAS LIVE SETS

Where do I begin? What originally started as a single promo mix for a friend turned into an entire series as I didn't know how to condense everything I play into a single mix. I try to cover most of my styles, paying tribute to a bunch of great DJ's and producers alike with music I love playing and listening to. The series intends to take you on a journey of a night out, from the very beginning you decide you want to go out, to the peak hours on the dancefloor, when you get back to the afterparty or winding down at home, with some nice downtempo, ambience and jazz to cap it off. I hope you enjoy it, whether you listen to it all (you're fucking crazy if you do), or you listen to some of it. Thank you<3

The Lost Demo Tapes - A Love Letter To Electronic Music

KONSTANT LIVE MIX 001 - Robert Lysholdt

My first set from this weekend's gig at Håstad CentriFuge. Tried to keep the high energy throughout the set considering my start time was around 4 am -that combined with tracks that have long melodic pauses to give the dancefloor some breathing room before the dancing kickstarts again. Hope you enjoy:)

DJ Farkas Set From Håstad CentriFuge 3.0 14/10 2023

Set from my first ever gig together with Gabriel back in the beginning of April. I had DJ'd for about half a week when we had the gig.

Robert Lysholdt & Gabriel Bäckström Set From Konstant Easter Party 8/4 2023

Re-upload of my YT video, sections of the video had to be cut for various reasons which you will notice when listening but considering the length of the mix I thought it'd be worth uploading anyway

Malmö Techno Tales Episode 32 - DJ Farkas

playlist to get the party and dancefloor started

The gig and subsequently the mix that made me start this ‘mix series’, all other mixes in this one series is fundamentally based around this mix and just as the actual performance at PHENOMENH it serves as an opener for the rest of the mixes (barring the prologue). I’ll try and keep the description relatively short, and point out important labels and artists that I used to build (and mostly choose from my already existing library) to build the performance around. FIY I had a gig at PHENOMENH at Plan B in Malmö on the 28th September - this mix is not what was played there - although I tried to mix the tracks that were either similar or the same but not necessarily in the same order and some tracks might have been skipped or replaced.

**NOT INTENDED FOR AIRPODS OR PHONE SPEAKERS -- PROPER SPEAKERS OR STUDIO HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED*

When I first started DJ’ing I was taught to mix progressive house and melodic techno - as many other DJ’s who first started out in recent years. I don’t play very much of these genres anymore and hence a lot of the tracks are ones I found during those first few months as well as before I started DJ’ing. Such as Kiberu, Luke Garcia, ARTBAT, Adriatique and others particularly from the label Diynamic Music. When I then got to DJ’ing on my own I dipped my toes into tech, dub and minimal where I quickly started listening to someone you can’t miss if you’re swedish and into tech house - Per Hammar, I delved into that sound and quickly found more, Malin Genie, Mihai Popoviciu and (although more to the microhouse & dub sound) adjacently Traumer, Priku & Dinu & Luuk Van Dijk. Dense & Pika I actually found because I like techno and I happened to listen to the George FitzGerald remix of Colt on a night out a long time ago and most of the trance selections were tracks I found back when I used to game a lot (and watch a heck of a lot of montages and videos with particularly trance music in the background). The rest of the tracks in the tracklist are either also very old discoveries which I stumbled upon by accident or very new discoveries which I’ve found by looking into more sci-fi soundscapes within techno, trance & house.

Mix predictably becomes more melodic as well as harder as the runtime racks up. Starting off with raw and minimal sounds, then layering with trance sounds which then bursts into the first progressive trance song and about a third of the way through is where I’d imagine the crowd really start dancing.

phenomenh aftermix

For the next two parts in this Mix series I want to take you on a progressive journey. A journey of melodies, rhythms, tempos, keys all united by progressive design and rich audiophonic textures. Intended either for the dancefloor during a pre-party, at a party before the main act or just before peak hours but equally suited for home listening while gaming. It took me quite a while to curate these two mixes (APEIRON & DELTA) during which I deep dived into the sounds I really loved and wanted to explore more particularly in the bpm range of 128 - 138. It also needed to align with the more melodic, tech-y sound of earlier mixes and the idea of being a pre-peak set within this larger series. This quickly made me go further and further back in time, at first to the mid 90’s from where I slowly began working my way back in time and most of the tracks are from the early to mid 2000’s, discovered through hidden Spotify playlists, Youtube videos, MixesDB2, Rave Archive (sadly down at the moment), Mixcloud, Soundcloud and of course the greatest contributor to these mixes - Discogs. Finally it became time for the recording process which was also long and exhausting as the two mixes were recorded together - continuously, and after a few tries I got a result I was content with. **NOT INTENDED FOR AIRPODS OR PHONE SPEAKERS -- PROPER SPEAKERS OR STUDIO HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED*

With all that being said that left me with these two mixes, made with a lot of love and care. Major inspirations for these two mixes were Markus Schulz, Lemon8, Jonas Steur, Gabriel & Dresden, Fluke, Snutz, Chris Sedayao, Armin van Buuren, Tiësto and of course my dear friend Gabriel. For more labels and artists that were a huge influence either through their sound or directly by them being featured see the bottom of the description.

Apeiron Alloiosis is our introduction mix to this sound and also differing mixing style from the previous mixes in the series, most tracks are played close to the end - regardless or not if the other track is already mixed in at halfway through or two thirds through, this is an intentional decision to allow for the rich progressive design of the tracks to really shine through and follow the journey that each track takes us on. We start the mix where we left off, with Traumer’s Dub of the Priku & Dinu track Distopic. Where we then continue with a minimal yet rich approach before we really get into the meat of the mix. This meat-y part then begins with a definable old school progressive house vibe until some electro house and acid sounds serve to break up the mix and transition it slowly and incorporating more and more trance as well. And of course, it’s no Farkas mix if we don’t also have some tribal sounds permeating through the mix every now and then.The tracks in Apeiron Alloiosis range from 2000 to 2024, though most were released between 2001 and 2007.

Hardware: Pioneer XDJ-XZ & 2x CDJ-350 (DJM-350 for some) for all mixes.

Apeiron Alloiosis - An Old School Progressive House & Trance Mix

For the next two parts in this Mix series I want to take you on a progressive journey. A journey of melodies, rhythms, tempos, keys all united by progressive design and rich audiophonic textures. Intended either for the dancefloor during a pre-party, at a party before the main act or just before peak hours but equally suited for home listening while gaming. It took me quite a while to curate these two mixes (APEIRON & DELTA) during which I deep dived into the sounds I really loved and wanted to explore more particularly in the bpm range of 128 - 138. It also needed to align with the more melodic, tech-y sound of earlier mixes and the idea of being a pre-peak set within this larger series.

For more labels and artists that were a huge influence either through their sound or directly by them being featured see the bottom of the description.

Delta Kinesis takes off exactly where Apeiron Alloiosis left off and continues the trend of slowly building up the energy, driving beats and progressive song structures but departs slightly and introduces more pure trance songs and slowly but surely departing from progressive house in favor of - as stated - more trance, breaks and a lot of tribal sounds but even more prominent this time, particularly during the end of the mix. This mix in particular features a lot more uplifting tracks especially during the middle of the mix, and brings that energy back into more progressive structures which then blends together with those tribal sounds coming back in, -and more space and ethereal sounds take over. This mix also slowly builds energy, expectation and breaks up the generally predictable nature of four-to-the-floor structures with electro and breakbeat influences. The breaks infused ethereal progressive nature creates a constantly evolving mix that should never leave you feeling dull and just prepared enough to follow along but not predictable enough to see any change ahead of time. The tracks again have release dates spanning multiple decades with the oldest being released in 1998 and the newest in 2021 but the majority of the mix this time is more spread out with most of them being released between 2000-2011.

Delta Kinesis - An Old School Progressive House & Trance Mix

A slower paced mix, intended to build up for what’s to come. The sounds I explore in this mix are mostly lounge, indie, pop and tech house related mixed with some dub and minimal. Think of the mix as my own audial beginning of a night out, the decision to do something has just been made - still early in the evening, heck it may still be afternoon. You chat to your buddies waiting for everyone to arrive, listen to some chill music with a cigarette in one hand a glass of whatever in your other. Slowly the tension builds, whilst the pacing increases along with the lounge-ness slowly but surely edges towards a more party-oriented-atmosphere.

**NOT INTENDED FOR AIRPODS OR PHONE SPEAKERS -- PROPER SPEAKERS OR STUDIO HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED*

Not too much to say about the mix, if you like it and listen all the way through I can only recommend you continue listening to the series - I think you’ll like it - and there’s loads of hours of music ahead of you. You can listen in any order you want of course, but everything is designed and mixed in such a way to take you on a journey, in the way I’ve arranged the mixes - each mix more or less seamlessly transitioning into the next. 

Due to the relatively short description of the mix I can actually list the tracklist here, for the remaining mixes (except for the Epilogue) the tracklists will be released on the youtube versions and/or maybe on instagram.

Prologue (White Print)

Appropriate title name for the mix considering it took me around 8 tries and continuously scrapping the songs I had prepared to prepare other ones, to then going back and trying the first ones a few times et cetera et cetera. Probably the greatest ‘thematic’ departure in the mix series so far in terms of speed, rhythms, style and groove. Since it’s a peak mix and that’s the timeslot most DJ’s want to occupy regardless of what they play I had this notion that the mix had to be perfect, buildup, breakdowns, layers, perfect for any dancefloor during peak hours, vocals, no vocals, great intricate grooves yet simple melodies - and most of all a good representation of what I love to play when I’m booked for such occasions or mixes such as this… One can not please everyone, or everything. After torturing myself by banging my head against the wall over and over I realised this mix isn’t going to do all I want it to nor does it need to. 

The mix thus turned out to be some but not all of the elements I originally had in mind. It does give an idea of a few types of sounds and styles that I like to delve deep in whilst occupying those sweet 140-145 bpm slots and a vibrant and engaged dancefloor - but it does not go into my heavier and ‘harder’ sounds, the following mix will serve that purpose (with some teases in the latter parts of the mix). What then, are those sounds that you will hear in this mix? Those intricate grooves I talked about in the opening paragraph, whether they be from groovy producers such as Danny Wabbit, more purebred trance such as the legend Armin van Buuren or the more modern, euro-influenced trance wave of Grand V, DJ HEARTSTRING, KE-YEN and co. Bouncy, wobbly and heavy basslines, tech house, tribal elements, breaks and heavenly melodies are what you can expect, and perhaps even a little something from the dull author here himself ;)

**NOT INTENDED FOR AIRPODS OR PHONE SPEAKERS -- PROPER SPEAKERS OR STUDIO HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED*

Building on the end of the last two progressive mixes, we have to start with some progressive house and progressive trance before really getting into the meat of this mix (contents of which are stated above) before finishing in style and giving a slight nod of where we’re heading next. I didn’t really have any huge inspirations for this set but rather it’s my musical inspirations as a whole, if any - for this specific mix - it’d be DJ HEARTSTRING, Paul Oakenfold and possibly D.Dan. But, I mostly drew inspiration from my old sets and what I like to play during peak hours/just after peak hours for this mix.

(IMPORTANTLY ALSO - big tip is to check a lot of unofficial releases on youtube, soundcloud, bandcamp, beatport and even spotify, you will find a lot of hidden not so well known tracks)

Genres/styles to check out for this type of sound is Eurotrance, Hard Groove, Tribal Techno & Breakbeat

T.S.D - Farkas' Lost Peak Mix

Not really much to say, wasn’t planning on even doing the mix but ended up making this (and the previous mix) on the go after having made the ‘Groove On’ mix. I don’t usually mix DnB and wasn’t really prepared with tracks which shows at times. BUT, it was a fun little side thing to do and I still liked the mix overall and thought it’d fit well into the series. Tracklist below.

TRACKLIST:
Skeptical - Imperial. 2015. Exit Records (EXIT 053). Drum & Bass, Halftime.
Skeptical, Loxy - Bongo Mania. 2021. Dispatch Recordings (DISDUB017). Drum & Bass.
Unknown Error - The Yearning. 2006. Horizons Music (HZN016). Drum & Bass.
Jestah & Creatures - Emulsifier (Black Barrel Remix). 2021. Delta9 Recordings (D9REC101). Drum & Bass.
Hatiras, J Majik - Spaced Invader. 2001. Defected (DNB1). Drum & Bass.
Special Request - BREAK IT DOWN. 2024. -- Album is Portal 4 -- Not on a label. Jungle, Drum & Bass.
Artificial Intelligence - Desperado. 2005. V Recordings (VRECSUK 005DD). Drum & Bass.
DJ Seduce, Gina040 - Something More. 2021. -- Single -- Self Released. Drum & Bass.
Future Prophecies - Deceived. 2005. Beatservice Records (BS088CD). Drum & Bass.
D.Kay & DJ Lee - Manipulate The Universe. 2003. Advance//d Recordings (ADVRSK5). Drum & Bass.


If you like the type of DnB in the mix I’d highly suggest looking more into artists such as Future Prophecies, Skeptical, Special Request, Artificial Intelligence as well as the following artists:
Matrix & Futurebound
Anthony Kasper
Naibu
Seba
Joja
DJ Hype
Makoto
Netsky
Monrroe

And in general looking at early to mid 00’s liquid & melodic drum & bass. Other DnB and jungle artists I highly recommend are the following
Mt Eden
Loxy
Etherwood
Nia Archives
Sordez
Odyssey
DJ SS
Blame
Blu Mar Ten
Degster
Pendulum
DJ Metatron
Feint
Mediks

and lots more ofc but I’m not gonna name every single one I like, sadly I don’t really know that much about DnB labels to be able to give any recommendations, hardware this was recorded on is stated below and as always **THIS IS NOT INTENDED FOR AIRPODS OR PHONE SPEAKERS, USE PROPER GOOD QUALITY HEADPHONES OR A GOOD SOUNDSYSTEM** - Otherwise it’ll only be Dn without the B

DnB Interlude (Improvised Mix)

Appropriate name for this mix as well as 'Groove On!' became the mantra for every track selection, transition, and layer I worked through while putting this together. This one came with a clear mission: to celebrate hard groove in all its forms—past, present, and future. The result is a mix that not only showcases the evolution of the genre but also fits snugly into the broader series ethos. From modern hard groove stalwarts like Chlär and Julian Muller to foundational acts like Killa Productions, every track had to contribute to that relentless, dancefloor-focused rhythm.

What makes hard groove so fascinating (and at times, difficult) is balancing its history with its modern reinterpretations. Some tracks lean into its roots, with that unmistakable percussive drive and looping funkiness, while others push boundaries, incorporating contemporary techno, acid, and even trance elements. For example, 'Las Lilas' might stand out to some as the odd one here, but I find it as groovy as any other track and proof that a little melodic flair can still fit within the groove’s hypnotic pulse whilst also aligning it with the other mixes + giving us a well needed melodic break before we get back to grooving.

The mix starts a bit heavier on techno vibes—tracks like Introversion’s ‘Body’ and Franck’s ‘Rose Tinted Glasses’ set the tone before we fully dive into hard groove territory. From there, it’s all about relentless energy, intricate drum patterns, acid-tinged loops, and basslines that keep pulling you deeper. Highlights include Mall Grab’s ‘Disconnect,’ Chlär’s ‘Competitive Influencing,’ and old-school heaters from Killa Productions with ‘Women Beat Their Men.’ or Deetron ‘Decipher Language’ And to cap it all off, Joris Voorn’s classic track ‘Incident’ with its ever-evolving energy, proving why it’s a cornerstone track for me.
This mix isn’t just about the tracks, though. It’s a journey through the soundscapes that shaped my understanding of peak-hour energy and what it means to get a crowd moving—not just physically but emotionally. Funky, relentless, and always with a wink toward the groove’s future.

Groove On!

**NOT INTENDED FOR AIRPODS OR PHONE SPEAKERS**
This one is for the high-energy crowd—the ones who want it hard, fast, and never letting up. The title, a nod to Pop Smoke, gives you a sense of the vibe: it’s unapologetic, raw, and takes no prisoners. For me, this mix represents a departure from the progressive sounds, and albeit fast not as hard hitting grooves that keep you dancing endlessly, and it’s a deliberate shift into something that feels relentless from start to finish. The BPM isn't significantly higher than what you've heard in past mixes, but the energy here is on a whole other level.

For about an hour, we’re diving straight into electro, acid, breakbeat, ghettotech, hard techno, rave, 2-step, UK Garage, and bassline. It’s a full-throttle blend that maintains a constant push of high tempo and hard-hitting soundscapes. The tracks aren’t here to lull you into comfort—they’re here to make you move, to keep your feet planted on the floor while your mind gets carried away by those thick, crunchy synths and a pounding rhythm section. It’s a series of sonic punches, each track seamlessly flowing into the next without ever losing the momentum or energy.

It’s also a nod to some of the genres and sounds I’ve been obsessed with, from the groovy, grime-tinged basslines of 2-step to the chaotic energy of ghettotech, electro and breakbeat. There’s a certain freedom in the way these genres come together—each one influencing the other, yet each maintaining its own identity in the mix. Tracks fly by quickly, but they all add something to the overall experience, whether it’s a breakdown, a build, or just a head-nodding groove that pulls you in deeper.

The mix ends with a smooth transition into the DnB interlude, setting the stage for the next phase of the series. But before we get there, this one is all about the intense, high-octane energy that’ll have you moving the whole way through.

This is the perfect soundtrack for when you need that shot of adrenaline—whether it’s in the club, on the dancefloor, or simply locked in your headphones, head bobbing along to the unrelenting pace.

AK ON MY SHOULDER LIKE I'M MALCOLM X

Following the intensity of the DnB interlude, The Definitive Afterparty Soundtrack shifts gears into something a little smoother. It’s the perfect bridge from high-energy chaos to winding down, keeping the groove alive but letting things breathe as the night stretches on. Starting off with DnB tracks like Jakwob’s “Fade (Etherwood Remix)” and DJ SS’s “Black”, there’s still that steady energy keeping you moving—but it doesn’t stay locked in.

The mix eases into a more relaxed flow as Kessler’s “Moonlight Branches” and Arkajo’s “Entwine (Polygonia Remix)” take the tempo down, offering a perfect balance of groove and space. The vibe becomes more about feeling the rhythm than pushing the pace. By the time James Saunders' "Jamiroquai in the Garage" hits, we’re settling into a groove that’s more about the late-night, afterparty energy—chilled, but with something still simmering underneath.

The second half of the mix shifts even further, with ambient and jazzy elements creeping in, like Bonobo's "ATK" and Victor Rodrigues' "Bread'N'Butter". These moments are for sipping wine, talking with friends, or just letting the music speak for itself as it leads into more reflective vibes. 
And as we reach the end, The Definitive Afterparty Soundtrack winds down seamlessly, leading perfectly into the Epilogue, with the last track flowing directly into the opening of the next chapter. This mix is a 3-hour ride—starting with energy, easing into reflection, and finally settling into calm, leaving you ready for whatever comes next. Perfect for a come-down after a night out. Or a night in with some friends or by yourself.

Thank you for listening <3

The Definitive Afterparty Soundtrack

And the finish line is in sight, sadly. This final mix is a collection of a whole bunch of different sounds I love and cherish in one way or another to help cool down after all the mixes - or just to cool down in general. Sip some whiskey and smoke a cigar, enjoy a glass of wine as you wind down after a long day, lay in bed listening to this as you prepare for a nap - anyhow, anyway or anytime you use it that’s what it’s for.

If anyone has bothered listening to all mixes or just this entire mix, let alone read all the in depth descriptions, thank you I hope you enjoyed it. It took a lot of fucking time and care to compile lol. I didn’t get to cover everything I like to listen to nor everything I like to play - as expected but I did cover a great deal of what I think covers the broadest spectrum and to tell the ‘story’ of the series.
