Don't Fall Down the Upstairs

146 bpm housey hardgroove, bret/afterhours vibe to go
first 5 mins are a lil messy pls bear with me

SUN'S OUT BUNS OUT

catchy text about a journey through fast paced rolling groovy percussive rhythms and soundscapes, you know the drill

enjoy <3

Basal Ganglia

I wanted to steer away from the idea of only playing tracks as unknown as possible in a set, so here are the (overplayed) greatest dancefloor hits of the Amsterdam techno scene in ~2023. All killer, no filler! 

how many do you recognize?

(shoutout Juri Heidemann/Marron for the iconic intro and Not A Headliner/Freddy K for the iconic closing track lol)

Basal Ganglia: Hitzone Mix

Set played amongst the trees, 138bpm. Thanks for dancing and thanks 403 Forbidden for having me ❤️

Varuna | 403 FORBIDDEN OUTDOORS [10 AUG 24]

Opening set I did for @orphicamsterdam at Tilla Tec! 129-133 bpm atmospheric and textured techno for the body and soul. I really enjoyed playing, and thanks everyone who was there for dancing <33

Varuna | ORPHIC @ Tilla Tec (Opening set) | 24.08.24

Dubby, detroity tracks to spacey hypnotic techno: bridging the gap between Loek Frey's great opening and Freddy K who played after me. Hope you enjoy this since these are tracks that I all really love!! 

Beatmatching is sloppy in the first 35 mins, had some difficulty with hearing the mixer cues & the monitors + i was too short to reach the upper cdjs properly (even while standing on a platform lol) so that took some time getting used to

Artists played: 
Johanna Knutsson, Blue Hour, Carsten Fietz, Adlas, Deano, Maarten Mittendorff & Jasper Wolff, Modus, DJ Deep, Yogg, Connor Wall, Red Rooms, Nachtwaker, Ruben Ganev, Black Mirror Park & Red Rooms, Dorisburg, Vergil, Robert Armani/Alexander Johansson & Mattias Fridell, Joline Scheffler, Lenson, Fase Bipolar, Sterac
Happy digging! <3
