Vorpal's debut at Earth Frequency during the Bassic Records showcase on Friday evening, following John Baptiste & SamWise. 
This session was absolutely heaving man... The dance floor was colossal and the 2-step was unstoppable 😈
This is one of my favourite memories in my DJ career so far. I sincerely hope I will have the chance to rock a techno floor of this calibre again. 
Eternal gratitude to Bassic Records and EFF for the opportunity.

Vorpal @ Earth Frequency 2022 - Australia - Stone Seed Showcase

~ November 2022 ~
A special mix paying homage to Sisyphos and my recent European adventures.
~~
◂ 128 - 132 bpm
◂ Psytech > Groovy > Driving
~~
Earlier this year (2022) I had the privilege to play at one of the most renowned clubs in Berlin - 'Sisyphos'. Alongside a collective of Aussie artists from Stone Seed, Sixth Sense and Church of Techno, we held down the Tunnel Floor for an all-day Aussie takeover. 

I visited the club two weekends in a row, once as an artist, and once as a punter. My experiences inside this space are unforgettable and completely changed my perception of what I thought a club could offer.

Unfortunately, on the day I played the Tunnel Floor, I did not record my set. Nor is this a re-recording of that set, however, I thought it would be cool to create a mix inspired by my recent experiences in Europe and Sisyphos alike. This mix showcases some Psytech and approachable driving techno between 128 - 132bpm.

I want to express genuine gratitude and appreciation for all of the new friends and connections I made during my travels. I am eternally thankful to have had the opportunity to cross paths with you all. 

I will see you again in 2023, until then, big love and respect from down under. Peace

Vorpal - Sisyphos Mix - 2022

Sisyphos, Hammahalle closing set - 14.08.23 - Berlin
~~
Insights:
This re-recording is a condensed 3-hour version including 44 tracks. The original set was 5 hours with a whopping 72 tracks.

bpm: 134 - 144
Vibe: groove, rolling, driving, psychedelic, hypnotic, dark, hard groove  

Things start to heat up around 45 minutes. Throughout the set, I dip in and out of a range of lighter, deeper and darker energies. I conclude the mix with a soothing Martin Nonstatic track for a smooth landing.
~~
Extended Blurb:

I’m excited to share a re-recording of my debut set inside Sisyphos’s ‘Hammahalle’. For those who aren’t already aware, Hammahalle is the main room inside Berlin’s Sisyphos nightclub. I played a 5-hour closing set, 1 am - 6 am Monday 14.08.2023. Not only is this the fastest techno set I have ever played at an event, but intermittently I snuck in some of my dark progressive/psytrance library taking risks I had not anticipated I would. 

This opportunity has been a dream of mine, a huge milestone in my DJ career, and a step forward in developing as an artist. Big up and gratitude to my techno family and co. (Stone Seed and Sixth Sense) for including me in the Aussie takeover. The other Australian artists included in the takeover included: Axon, Tom Baker, Jedidiah, and ZigMon.

If you feel so inclined to support and repost the set, I would be very grateful. Final thanks to Sisyphos and the hosts inside this space, I hope to return in 2024 <3

Vorpal @ SISYPHOS - Hammahalle closing 14.08.23 - Berlin

Club Renate, closing set - 26.07.2024 - Berlin
~~
Insights:
Live set recording - 3 deck mixing - freestyle/improvised. 
bpm: 135 - 147
Psychedelic Techno / Pacey Groove / Hypnotic / Dark Progressive

~~
Although this set took place back in July of 2024, I believe it showcases a glimpse into the direction my taste in techno is heading. It is very apparent to me my sound is evolving. I'm very excited to lean into this new styles of pacey groove, hypnotic, and dub techno.

Unfortunately, I did not record the input of the drums correctly, hence why there is no live drum recording throughout the set... (bummer)

That is all for now. If you would like to know any Track ID's, please comment and I will respond as soon as possible. 
No Gatekeeping - Music is meant to be shared.

Big thanks to Stone Seed and Club Renate for the opportunity to share music within this space. It has been an honour <3

VORPAL @ The Swamp | MoDem Festival 2024

Mo:Dem Festival, Swamp Stage - 04.08.25 - Croatia
Day 1 - 21.00-23.00
~~
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 🤌🏼

Vorpal @ Mo:Dem Festival - Swamp Stage - 04.08.25 | Croatia

Dragon Dreaming Festival, Bogong Moth Stage - 28.09.25 - NSW, Australia
Day 3- 20.00-21.30
~~
Insights: 
Transition set
bpm: 143 - 165
Driving Hypnotic, Hard Groove, Tech Trance, Primal Techno/Guardian Records 

~~

In tradition, Sunday night at Dragon Dreaming Festival showcases the deeper more hypnotic realms in techno. This year we pushed the bpm and the session resolved with some experimental tribal sounds. (I will list the flow below). My duty within the session was to transition through the harder grooves, concluding with the primal sound of Guardian Records. From the moment I pushed play I was absolutely locked in... I have never played a transition set like this before. However, I believe it will be the first of many... 

Session's Flow: 
- Safira
- Tilda
- Vorpal
- Vent des forets
- Andy Garvey
