Insights:
Live set recording
bpm: 140 - 144
Dark Progressive / Groovey Hypnotic Techno / Break Beat

~~
It’s been an absolute honour for me to join Mo:Dem festival again in 2025. This year, I was allocated an evening slot within a dark progressive session.
Set Time: 21.00-23.00 - Day 1

I did my best to honour the slot while holding integrity and taking risks. My selections explore various parts of my library, ranging from dark prog to an array of sped-up psy-tech and 140-ish hypnotic techno flavours I’ve been delving into recently. I also featured some fresh break-beat and syncopated grooves I’ve been gathering.

I must admit, I didn’t play drums throughout the set as much as usual. This was due to focusing on the mix and trying to harness control. With this being said, there’s still several moments throughout the recording where you can hear me having a slap. It’s a bit sloppy, but hey, we’re out here winging it, and that’s where the magic lies (sometimes).

All in all, I’m happy with the set and believe it’s a good representation of my style within the context of the session. Mo:Dem is the psychedelic mecca!! She is a must-attend event, and my favourite in the world so far <3

Big up all the producers whose tracks I’m privileged enough to play in my sets. You’re all gods in your own right; we appreciate you! You can find the track-listing on my Soundcloud 🤌🏼
