Johan brings you: The power of the present moment in the form of slow, dark & growling psychedelic techno.

We can experience nothing but the present moment, live in no other time, and to understand this is as close as we can get to eternal life.

The Power of Now

Always a pleasure to upload my Noisily set but this one holds an extra special place in my heart, managing to play to my hearts content on the main stage for 2 hrs whilst 37 weeks pregnant! Expect a fun, playful array of delightful sounds & textures - melodic, indie, acid, old-school rave - that progressively builds to something a little more pumping as I spied that the magic Noisily crowd were asking for it. Thank you for dancing with your endless smiles and excitement as we got a feel for the new Barkestone woods. Please comment, like, share and let me know what you think! Was the tiny dancer a good captain of the Noisily festival mothership that fine sunny morning? 🩰☀️

Continuing on with the re-recordings, here's my set from Pangea 2023! This has been hands down my most talked about set and the most people asking me if there is a recording. Unfortunately, the recordings went missing so I had to attempt to re-create this crazy morning - something I didn't think possible which is why it's taken so long to get up... But, I decided it's time! This was such an epic set to play - closing the mighty Pangea Canyon on the Friday night, 3-5am, after @delamoonmusic rinsed it for the previous 3h! I set the goal to drop a bpm or two on every track, and so this starts out around 125bpm and ends at 104 - something pretty different and I couldn't believe how well it worked / how much of the crowd stayed till the very end (pretty much all of them - thank you legends for dancing and sharing your energy with me <3). Was also quite full circle playing after Dela as we had met on our travels a couple months earlier and Pangea booked us to play next to each other without realising :)
