Light in all 3 meanings of the word.
And yes, I decided to play my favorite Ukrainian band right next to my favorite Russian band. And just in case I might get misunderstood, I also put my favorite Greek Cypriot and Turkish bands together too ;)

The Light

I started off by organising these little parties once a week in the Kalanbatu Bar on Rhoppongi street, while I was living in BK. Enjoy!

''When in Rome, do as the Romans do" Well, what can I say, I wasn't in Rome for this one...

Eclecto Swing

¿Porque No?

...Good juice and good vibes, what else could we possibly need...

Downshifting, or moving to a lower gear is the idea of disregarding material struggle (career, competition, greed) and instead concentrating more time on enjoyment, personal fulfillment, and just life.
Sideshifting is my little implementation of it. I have chosen to equally divide my life between Winemaking and DJ-ing. 
Every 3 months the seasons change and with them I start a new chapter in a different place.
I strive to introduce the hidden gem of the Balkan music everywhere I go, and enrich it even more with native rhythms from all over the planet. Seeing how people, who have never heard about certain region, connect to the cheerfulness of the rhythms amazes me every time. It's just magic!
And yes, I know I'm supposed to talk about myself in 3rd person in order to look more professional, I apologize for that ;D
We live in a very over-advertised world, where photos and likes mean a lot more than the actual music, but I urge you to try listening anyways. Thanks!
