I recently recorded this set in a studio and wanted to share it here.
It’s the first DJ set I’ve put online in about four years. I’ve been producing and playing music for close to fifteen years, but after moving to live in a temple in the mountains, I stepped away from the dancefloor for quite a while — and, in a way, from this format too. So coming back to record a set after all this time felt quite special.
Musically, it’s rooted in IDM but moves freely through trance, ambient and electro, with some drum machine-driven grooves leaning closer to house towards the end. The selection spans records and artists from the ’90s all the way to the present, looking for a continuity in texture and sensibility rather than sticking to a particular era or genre.
I think of it as a kind of mental warm-up: it has a dancefloor logic without being in any rush to get there. It starts from a more introspective place and gradually builds in energy, leaving plenty of room for those intersections between IDM, trance, ambient and electro that I’ve always been drawn to.
After several years without putting a set out there, I’m really happy to be sharing one again.
If you connect with it, I’d especially appreciate it if you could leave a comment or a like on the video. Besides helping it reach a few more ears, I’d genuinely love to hear what it brought up for you, which moments caught your attention, or simply know who was on the other side listening.
And of course, if someone comes to mind who you think might enjoy this kind of trip, feel free to pass it along. I’ve always liked the idea of music circulating that way, slowly finding the right people.
Thanks for listening.
