Hi, everyone. For the winter holiday season here's a little something that I'd like to share with you.

TCHARODEÏ B2B Hristo Tafkov - Opening Set @ Once Upon A Beat 01, The Other Side (AMS, NL), 08.11.24

Hristo Tafkov, trapt het verse jaar af met een mooie en meeslepende Nest Sessie. Een pakkende, harmonieuze en melodische set is waar deze Bulgaarse kanjer zijn gevoel volledig in kwijt van. Je gaat het merken tijdens het luisteren van zijn creatie, want dat wordt volledig overgebracht! Dit is er een om in weg te dromen. Houd jezelf dus zeker niet tegen en speel hem af!

Over dromen gesproken... jaag ze na, je kan het! 2025 wordt mooi!

Hristo Tafkov @ Geluksvogels Nest Sessies #69

Heavily influenced since childhood by legendary electronic music bands such as The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Lamb, Massive Attack, Underworld, Aphex Twin, Orbital, Hybrid, Way Out West, Global Communication and then pioneers such as Sasha, John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo, Anthony Pappa, Danny Tenaglia, Satoshi Tomiie, Frankie Knuckles, Kerri Chandler, Larry Heard a.k.a. Mr. Fingers, Josh Wink, Kevin Saunderson to name but a few... I felt true attraction, discovered and ultimately fell completely in love with the DJ-craft or as I like to call it "the art of musical storytelling". It's been almost 25 years since this love runs through my veins and keeps growing as it's been fuelled by the incomparable feeling of sharing those inner experiences with like-minded people and fellow music lovers.

About my work – attention to detail in order to attain perfection in my studio mixes and live sets. I'm always looking for innovation and diversity. Trying to make a difference and leave my mark by always presenting something new, perceived as "outside the box", something that doesn't necessarily appeals to the masses but for those who share a deeper understanding and appreciation for the music in its richness. That is why my sets combine multiple flavors of carefully chosen underground electronic sound. Perfectionism concerning mix and music selection has always been a must and it can be easily sensed in my work, particularly when it comes to my studio projects. In other words, by following the latest currants of the vast field of my beloved electronic music while also by always recalling past moments of its long history that lead me to what I am presently, my focus goes to extracting the best material and putting it into a memorable musical trip that comes from the heart and shouldn't let you stay indifferent...
