YMSM: CAST series

spring DD25

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."

YMSM: CAST 01 - Flaaviø

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."

thirteenth CAST is by Da Silva, founder of Balearic Ensemble @balearicensemble, half of Moon&Mann which we had the chance to have down in the ROOM ONE HUNDRED back in march 2023. for this entry in the CAST series, he recorded a highly personal selection that reflects his evolution as a musical selector & curator of unique sounds.
"In this new podcast, I focused on the Balearic Beat. In this space, I fuse the songs I am currently loving with tracks from previous releases on my label, MM Discos @mmdiscos, while also offering a sneak peek at some upcoming releases from Balearic Ensemble."

Mix of the Week #577: frangi. - The Big Blue

Trujilo's Mix April 2025

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.
