Live Session Mixes

This is the audio of my very first video mix which I produced for YouTube recently.

A 30 minute journey of 1980s influence, analog drum machines, laser sharp synths and futuristic soundscapes, it's all very  T E C H  N O I R.

Here is the audio for my second video mix which dropped on YouTube recently.

Night vibes only on this one: dreamy textures, extended blends, lushious breakdowns and trippy jungle beats. It's all a bit G O O D L O O K I N G.

I'm having a lot of fun digging deep through my collection putting these video mixes together, it gives me chance to showcase stuff I wouldn't normally get chance to play, and plus you get the rare treat of seeing me mix live and blow the dust off!

On June 17th 2003, I performed my very first gig for a local Trance night, my first step into the DJ world and a buzz that I'll never forget.

A 17-track, 75 minute journey featuring 20 year old vintage classics from labels such as ASOT, Anjunabeats, Lost Language, Platipus, Tsunami and many more!

After delving through the 2023 Year Mix of A State of Trance (mixed by Armin Van Buuren) I was inspired to curate a live mix showcasing my favourite cuts from the compilation.

It's hard to try and distil a compilation of such scope (111 tracks!) down to a 1 hour set, but this mix hopefully shares the essence of what ASOT in 2023 means to me...

Live Sesion Mixes

Steve Callaghan | Live XDJ Session Mix | 006 | ASOT 2023 Mini-Mix

After a 10-month hiatus, I’m back on YouTube with a fresh mini-mix, diving deep into one of my favorite compilations of last year: Permanent Vacation Vol. 8.

This session has been in the works since last summer, but after rediscovering some old project notes, it felt like the right moment to bring it to life. Ah the joy of two months off work!

Permanent Vacation has been a favourite label of mine ever since I first discovered them through Dølle Jølle's ‘Balearic Incarnation’ back in 2008. 

Interestingly, revisiting these tracks now, they resonate even more than when I first heard them. It's a reminder of how the "novelty effect" (that initial rush of excitement when something feels new can equate to better) can wear off, and as a DJ I’m constantly looking out for this bias.

Recorded live on a hot Thursday afternoon in Fallowfield, Manchester, here are my favourite cuts from the compilation....

Tracklist for 007 /

00:00 - Snecker - Trigger [Permanent Vacation] [2023]
02:13 - Ruf Dug - Cyprus Street [Permanent Vacation] [2023]
06:03 - Tape_Hiss - Teinturier [Permanent Vacation] [2023]
09:38 - Running Hot - Tonight [Permanent Vacation] [2023]
13:59 - Clint - Bliss Science [Permanent Vacation] [2023]
17:41 - Maze DJ - Planet Rapture [Permanent Vacation] [2023]
22:14 - Eliott Litrowski - Space Sugar [Permanent Vacation] [2023]
26:54 - Eli Escobar - Headphone [Permanent Vacation] [2023]
