Stompede 3

One of my most memorable sets played for the legendary 3-30 night club at The Origin. The engine room is known for its fierce Funktion 1 sound system and playing belters like these just blows your hair back. 

I  hope you enjoy this one as much as I do :)

Hey whats up guys. This is something I played on a beautiful Saturday  afternoon with the sun setting behind me. The tracks remind me of the moments of triumph in 2022 and the set resembles a "happy go lucky"  feeling to put anyone in a good mood. I hope  you enjoy listening as  much as I  did recording it.

Techno mix (30min) for Mutha FM

So I have decided to make this the finale of the Stompede mix series before I post new mixes where I bring a different sound to the table. This mix was put together with most of my favorite tracks ranging from classics to recent releases. I have tried to give it a nice flow in progression with a twist of the agressive flair that I like to showcase during my live sets. I made a point of NOT making the mix a short one so that there's a nice run to enjoy the full potential that the tracks present in a mixed set....If you dig what you hear please follow me on Facebook on https://www.facebook.com/Boikiezn to stay up to date with whats happening with my gigs, ideas, opinions and upcoming mixes :) I also run a music page on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/djzone.mixes where you can get the low down on whats hot and happening in the dance scene globally and locally here in the 031 :) Big respect to all the producers whos material is in the content - I like to promote your art in this set, any objections I will gladly remove...Crank it up and ENJOY! Comments for compliments and critics will be much appreciated! Much love - Dj N3M3S!S

Stompede 4 - Collective Stomp

Hey! This is a recording of my live performance at Earthdance 2012 in Kwazulu Natal. The dance floor was on fire and the response was amazing :) I figured seeing that tech/techno is making a huge comeback I can take the liberty of uploading this set that I showcased at this phenomenal event. As always TURN IT UP and ENJOY! Any copyright please lemme know and I will remove it immediately - this is all in spirit of promoting the producers and the amazing work that they do!
