Having been attending Origin Festival for over a decade, this was a dream booking come true! South Africa's premier psychedelic festival and I had the honour of kicking the Beats Floor off on Saturday morning. It was an early start just after 8am, so I selected tracks to ease everyone into their day: whether they were grooving on the floor, lounging next to the river a couple meters away having their morning swim or chilling in their campsites just over the river, this selection was bound to get them ready for the madness of the day that lay ahead.

The mix features a ton of new releases as well as some throwback classics (both tracks that make regular appearances in my sets and a couple I haven't played for a while). I hope you enjoy listening back to this as much as I had putting it together and playing it. And big thanks for all the love from the dancefloor and those that made it out - was so epic seeing you all moving and having fun out there!

The rāga saga acts as a cultural collectiva of our favourite artists from all across, Each raga is an array of melodic structures with musical motifs, considered in the Indian tradition to have the ability to "color the mind" and affect the emotions of the audience and this journey (raga) comes in from the beautifully brilliant @jemskiii

Reflecting on the Sofacast journey reminds me of just how magical this project has been. So many DJs have led us through the depths of electronic music, uncovering hidden gems from a vast sea of talented producers, each with their own unique voice. It’s a celebration of music, creativity, and the passion that connects us all.

As we reach the 100th episode, instead of a big spectacle, I opted for something more intimate. My dear friend and seasoned DJ, Backhaus, brings his signature touch to this special mix—proof that sometimes less truly is more.

Thank you for being part of this musical voyage. Here’s to many more adventures together.

Many of you asked for it… 🌅
I’m thrilled to share the recording of my live DJ set, captured during the magical sunset on Saturday, August 3rd, at the Artibarn stage of OZORA Festival 2024 ! 

This set was a deeply medicinal experience for me, bringing healing and a profound sense of connection. It allowed me to share so much joy and energy with all of you, the audience, through downtempo vibes, world music influences, and grooves that united us in the moment. Thanks Gabor for recording and OZORA festival to invited me, and Thanks dancers for your incredible energy, your presence, and the smiles that made this moment unforgettable 💛

Mula (FR) @ OZORA 2024 Artibarn (Melting pot sunset) - Dj Set Live

This slow, deep and psychedelic journey was weaved on the Capricorn new moon as a dedication to Mother Earth. As the world continues to elevate in chaos, destruction, and uncertainty, may we continue to collectively unite and heal  through our connection with Her, through dance, music, and a remembrance of all the times of connection as our bare feet stomped the grounds that shaped our transformation.

Passing – a Deep House journey through the soul of the Alps.
This album captures the quiet intensity of mountain roads, winding passes, and shifting skies. Each track is a moment of transition — from dusk to dawn, from altitude to emotion.

Let the deep, rolling basslines and melodic textures guide you through misty valleys, over sunlit summits, and into the heart of something unknown yet deeply familiar. Perfect for long drives, mountain reflections, or late-night escapes.

🔊 Genres: Deep House, Melodic House, Progressive
🎧 Mood: Atmospheric, Driving, Cinematic, Emotional
🌍 For fans of: Ben Böhmer, Lane 8, Bicep, Christian Löffler
