BEST ENJOYED WITH HEADPHONES!!!

"Waiting for one final fire, one horrendous storm, one brutal earthquake." -Revizion

Xtorm is the 10th release of my Dishes Delicious Compilations and is all about pushing through. Dark downbeat mixed with chillrave and slowtech is probably what describes it best. 

My main object of this set was to create a strong, dark and stormy atmosphere (which was very challenging to maintain for almost 2 hours without getting either too techy/bouncy and neither too drowsy). Starting off with 100 bpm I wanted this to be enjoyable while sitting or lying down, so I focused more on the dark mood of this set and not on dropping recent releases. Meaning that the tracks are not all brand new but very (!) carefully selected (with 2 yet unreleased tracks).

Please leave your like, comment or repost if you like this set and always feel free to contact me in case you have any questions.

And now grab your favorite headphones, get comfortable on your couch and enjoy this 2 hour trip through a wide ocean of emotions. 

Happy hearing,
Alex

Asintyah - Meditative Voyage

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.

“There is light in the dark”, Nico Tober is back. 
For the second time he serve us from the best audio plates in downtempo, and if they aren't 'down', he will make them. Somehow Nico manages to balance vocal melodics and lush harmonies with the more unpredictable beats. The goodiebag is open, from the Sofa we bow and give him a high-5-support.

His love for ancient as well as celestial sounds will take you on a deep journey, and when listening, you will undoubtedly find yourself connecting with your higher self and all beings around. Mathias enlightens and leads into time- and spacelessness to inspire an earthly awakening.

Slowing down since...

Rasmus Backhaus is a Copenhagen based dj, who has been around for quite a while now and he is one half  of the dj duo Angebot. 

Even though his main influence and inspiration comes from Berlin, he spent his first four years dj’ing in metropolitan Barcelona back in the year of 2001, playing venues such as Macarena microclub, Apolo, La Paloma and Le Kasbah. He moved back to Copenhagen in 2005 where he quickly became a strong contender among the Danish dj circuit, dj'ing mainly at Vega Nightclub and at the now closed and legendary open-air venue, Luftkastellet. 

In the summer of 2019 Backhaus hooked up with friend and colleague, Bow Miller, and together they created Angebot.
Angebot is the result of their common interest and passion for world music and deep-driving downtempo.

These days he wants to play less, but good so to speak. Choosing only venues with the soundsystem and good vibes that he likes, such as Werkstatt, Hangaren and his all time favourite bar in the centre of Copenhagen, Log Lady

When dj'ing, Backhaus is all about connecting with the crowd, so that he can do what he does best; playing nice and deep mid-tempo electronic music, that leaves you bouncing and filled with warmth.

It all starts with unsuspicious slow background music. Always. It exits your headphones or speakers and enters your auditory canal. You might be distracted by your surroundings, not focusing the music itself. No big deal. But all out of sudden you are getting into the groove. It is that Dishes Delicious-moment when you are finding yourself tapping with your feet along with the beat. Your head starts shaking and you are like „Where did that come from?“ But we are not done yet, we are just getting started. You turn up the volume. The set proceeds. Every single track is building momentum aiming for the peak. And the peak will come. You will be going through a wide range of emotions accompanied by surprise, amusement, confusion, excitement, relieve and happiness. There will be dirty basslines, sassy sounds, powerful build-ups and mind-blowing drops, This is a 3-star menu containing only the tastiest filet bites sliced and cutted to perfection all the time. Everytime. Get ready for a thrilling journey through my world of electronic music. This is Dishes Delicious, prepared and served by The Cook.
