YMSM: CAST series

first up on the CAST series is You Mean So Much resident dj Flaaviø @flaavio. starting with a drummy mid tempo & finishing on strong disco edits, the set is a balanced blend of a wide spectrum of house & disco tracks.
"I wanted to record a mix using some of the music I played at the first 3 parties in 2022. Expect claps, deeper sections, a fair bit of keys & (literally) sexy beats."

for the second iteration of our You Mean So Much CAST series, we have Jelle (From The Block) @jellefromtheblock who opened the floor at the very first party we had back in april 2022.
"When I recorded this set, I wanted to create something that would capture what a night out at You Mean So Much would sound to me. A musical journey starting off slow & easy-going, like when the first people start to enter the club. As the dancefloor begins to fill up, the music gradually builds up in energy as well. You would hear a nice mix of disco & house tracks throughout the night, some familiar & some unknown. You would dance with a crowd of music lovers & people just there for a good night out. I have very fond memories playing at the first edition & going there myself several times. I really enjoyed trying to translate these memories into this mix."

third CAST & we have a really summer-y set recorded by the one & only Eclectic Elektra @eclectic_elektra. we had her setting the vibes at our party back in march 2023. she now co-runs a party (named Cosmic Circuit) mirroring the energy & blend of genres/styles she loves to display during her live sets.
"Infused with the spirit of 'You Mean So Much' parties & the feeling of summer, this mixtape is meant to be a hot-weather soundtrack. Listen & enjoy while the sun's still out."

fourth CAST & a special one as this was live recorded at the party we threw back in may 2023. @murrinmusic & @glenstefani (name is still 'work in progress') delivered nearly 4hours of complet bonkers from all genres, all under 110bpm, ROOM ONE HUNDRED style.
"First time we played together on this one & it was a lot of fun! We selected a couple of hours of this recorded dubby/chuggy b2b which we feel represents best the journey we took the crowd to."

eleventh mix & The Brahma @imthebrahma is up! warming up the floor at our party back in march 2024, The Brahma lit up the dancefloor with his house & disco influences!
"For this CAST entry, I wanted to create a special groove based on my funny background - I remember the first time I listened to GTA Vice City radio station 'Fever 105' with some music by The Whispers, The Pointer Sisters, Fat Larry's Band... & I said to myself 'wait, this is my music, the groove that I need'. The Arabic/north African section of the mix is very important to me, to show where I come from: different musical keys, rhythms & atmosphere."

Mix of the Week #590: Frunk29

Dea Barandana is an artist we are thrilled to see make the step from his local scene towards the international circuit. Originally from Jakarta, where he started out mixing records for a local breakdance crew, he was eventually throwing warehouse parties before ending up one island further, on Bali, where he’s a familiar face at Potato Head Beach Club and Studio Eksotika.

This mix he did for us lays out his talent for weaving together unfound rarities from then and now, connecting dots between different musical tropes of the Asian diaspora. The result is a meandering journey across forgotten recordstores and dusty crates, reminiscent of island life and the smell of kretek, to modern club music and back. 

Starting off like a warm breeze, the mix quickly gears up to grooving disco and bright Asian synthpop. Further down the 100-minute trip, the journey spirals from its effervescent moods down into darker, more spiritual affairs, with compelling percussion and sturdier basslines — just before locking down with laidback, dreamlike endnote to seal it off.

You Mean So Much is a party in Berlin. its concept & name stemmed from the realisation of how important letting loose & dancing are after challenging & stressful times we cope with...

the night will surround you with love & togetherness while the dance floor will be filled with house (deep, proto…), disco (nu, italo…) & downtempo[-ed] music.

'You Mean So Much: CAST' is a series of home recorded (well... sometimes live too) sets by past & future djs of the event, expressing their take on the party concept.
