Mr Joy Goes To Ibiza

En-JOY these 3 hours of refined dinner beats recorded @ Gastrobar Gaston last Friday!
 
Gastrobar Gaston is a new unique place in Turnhout (Belgium).  The whole concept is south american inspired.  Cozy and trendy interior with eye for detail, delicious food to share, and an impressive sound system comparable to most famous beach clubs in Ibiza.  While the beat is comfortably bouncing in your chest, you can still have a conversation and enjoy your dinner.  
 
I don’t know why, but my memory stick cut off the recording after exactly 3 hours.  So we sadly lost the last hour  ;-( .. 

Starting at slow tempo 113 BPM, then smoothly building up to 120.

"Go make something rough!", a bunch of friends said.  Well here it is!  Pure techno madness this time.  My favourite techno tracks, old & new, in the mix..

Harder than this it won’t really get for me ;-)

BPM’s ranging from 127 to 138.
