Before making mixes as Frian, I was already flirting with the idea of mixing genres and letting go. This was recorded  in Tulum 9 years ago  when I used to live there. 
It was a  small gathering, full of bliss, on a Sunday afternoon at the crystal blue beach PPP.
Found this 5 hours on an old HD. Enjoy.

Fanfarrosa - Dreamland Mix 2012

I made this track during a visit from my friends Gunnar Hemmerling and Telly Quin at my house in Mexico city in 2006. We were eating tacos all the time, so much fun. 
We called our project Hecho en House.
It was released digitally on Dock Records. You can get it on bandcamp if you like it. Time flies.

Hecho En House - 5 De Pastor Con Todo

I will be using my Frian Bantana page to upload music from my other projects and genres. 

It was so much fun to be back on decks.
I have been collecting records for the past 2 years and was an uplifting opportunity  to play them to lovely dancers on what became a radiant dance floor. Recorded live at Sisyphos Wintergarten on an April Saturday evening 2022 with 2 Technics MKII 1200, 1 Allen & heath 96 mixer.
Thanks to everyone that joined me on the ride.

Fanfarrosa at Sisyphos wintergarten spring 2023

A bike full of record bags, a dog, and a mission:
To play the closing set at  Wintergarten Sisyphos. And what a wonderful time it was.
A lovely crowd that didn´t stop dancing, love,  smiles, and high energy.
Here is the recording of last Monday morning, only vinyl, no edits.
Love.

Fanfarrosa - Closing Set Sisyphos wintergarten Summer 2023

A Sunday afternoon at Ambient floor Garbicz 2023.
Records, loops, a Microcosm pedal, and Folk hero Marlais singing and dropping on the mic.
It was pouring frogs from the sky, but we were all protected from the rain by the mighty tree at the Mothership.

An hour from a long set at  Klunkerkranich, playing some records on a Friday evening with friends while drinking the night away.
