BLACKOUT Podcast

Really looking forward to starting my night "Blackout" with my buddy Danny Fry (W Hotel Bali/Chile) at one of the coolest places in Singapore at the moment…. KILO. 

No more having to compromise on my sound and style. It's refreshing to be able to do my thing and not have to worry about the club owner telling me its too deep.. or needs it happy… uplifting… whatever… hate having restrictions!

Last time we played at Kilo, it was INSANE! Probably one of the BEST Gigs I've done in SingaBore EVER! Im really looking forward to our next gig at KILO on July 18th. 

To celebrate the start of our new night Im giving out a mix I did a few weeks ago. 60mins of my usual deep techy moody music for you to drift off into space. Took me awhile with programming and also finding tracks to match, but by far one of my fav sets so far lots of beautiful tracks in there. 

Enjoy the mix!! Leave a comment when you're done, I'd appreciate it a lot! Look forward to seeing those of you in SG on the 18th July 2014 at Kilo for our first night…… Blackout!!

BLACKOUT 03 - Hugo Marti "Live @ MINT, Bali" (Sept 2014)

"Melancholy Is The Pleasure Of Being Sad." - Victor Hugo.  

Melanchollia is such a complex emotion..... Its just really hard to explain it. But I just LOVE being in that state......  and the right melancholic music either makes you remember everything or forget everything. 

I love putting melancholic mixes... its sooooo much more challenging for me. I can put out a 1h our techy techno happy banging whatever mix any time... any day.....too easy... THIS is the real challenge for me.  

Lots of my favourite tracks in this mix..... some new... some old.... all damn good nonetheless. =) 

Kick back and enjoy the mix. 

Feel free to leave comments and share the mix. Thanks!!

BLACKOUT 04 - Zig Zach "The Pleasure Of Being Sad" (Oct 2014)

Sorry for the delay on this month's mix. =P But this one is well worth the wait. A nice dreamy melodic mix from Dan Paris up next on our podcast.

Earlier in the month, I had Dan and Iain Donnachie as our guests for the BLACKOUT at 25 Circular Road party.... and they both put out an amazing set and had the place pumping!!

Some beautiful tracks here in this mix!! Sit back and enjoy the ride!

Dan Paris -Digging Deep (Digging Deep / UK)

With his roots cemented in the early house scene in London, Dan has enjoyed playing at many of the capitals finest venues including Ministry Of Sound, Raw, Brixton Academy and arguably the most hedonistic of them all - The End.

Since moving to Singapore in 2002, Dan has continued to evolve his sound with healthy doses of Deep House and melodic techno at the heart of all his sets. as one of the team that brought Digging Deep to our island, his music has continued to push the underground scene at Home Club, StereoLab, Blu Jaz and at various private parties both here in Singapore and across SE Asia


BLACKOUT 05 - Dan Paris "Autumn Leaves" (Nov 2014)

I was asked by local techno festival Super 0 (www.super0.sg) to do a mix for their podcast campaign ( https://www.mixcloud.com/Super0Sg/ ) and kicking it all off would be a mix from their resident DJ.... ME!! They will be featuring mixes from some of the artists that have played before on their party in the near future, so  please follow them on mixcloud. 

This mix was done on short notice, and took about 4 or 5 days to gather a few tracks and took me about 3 or 4 hours to arrange the tracks properly and record the mix.

"Dusk Till Dawn" is a late night after hours mix. You know, you've come back from the clubs, you're just chilling out with your mates on the sofa...you've just poured yourselves your last drink for the night.....u kick back...and you let the hypnotic melodies, bells and trippy vocals just take you on a journey into space. As the last two tracks come in, daylight breaks and you feel a sense of happiness. You've had a great night with amazing friends, you've partied and listened to some great music....and you feel thankful for everything! =) 

That's what I'd like to think this mix is about!! haha 

So, please enjoy BLACKOUT 08 from yours truly. Feel free to leave a comment and tell me your take on this mix. ;)

P.S Apologies on the 2nd tracks quality. It's 320 but for some reason it sounds like it was mastered under water?!?!?! -_-
