it's been a long time (again) since i last mixed and i tried to do something slightly different here, with perhaps a more solid structure to it. at the same time, i left the field open for experimenting and this was the first time i attempted at mixing these tracks together. it's on the techier side of things, getting progressively more uplifting by the end. i enjoyed it - hope you do too.

this is a weird one, albeit one I had thought of doing for months - with the Christmas break, I finally had the time to pick the right tracks and blend them together as well as I could. anyone who knows me for some time knows I started listening to dance music through trance - and that never quite went away. a few of my friends receive the occasional message of "evidence of a trance revival #2456" together with a video of Charlotte de Witte, SDC or anyone else closing their sets with trance classics. unfortunately - and I only found this recently - there is ample literature on a "trance revival" anytime since 2010, which put together proves the very opposite. anyway, I thought I'd try and have a go at this. those who don't like and never liked trance will probably not enjoy this as much, but feel welcome to give it a try; those who do or did at some point, please stick around.
I tried to stay away from the 'epic'-euphoric-cheesy-hands-in-the-air trance of the late 90s that precisely put off so many people; what I aimed to do instead was to find links between darker, albeit melodic tracks from back when and newer releases that are either techno-based current takes on trance by techno artists such as Charlotte de Witte, Dusty Kid or Reinier Zonneveld) or Calvin Logue's Mysteryland. Am I fully aware that I'm probably (save for one or two exceptions) the only person that will have read this post? Absolutely. But since I had fun writing it anyway, thought it wouldn't hurt to post either.

The weather in Brussels has been the nicest since I first moved here. I had little else to do - who hasn't? - so I thought I'd record another set instead. It's sunny. Enjoy it - at home, obviously. Like it was every going to be played anywhere else. :D

you can call it pandemic productivity: quarantines and lockdowns made me do another set.
of these tracks, the first three are "cozier" and work better indoors; one serves as a sort of transition and the last three as summer tracks - and i sure hope we're all out by then. stay the fuck home; stay safe. :)

Smoke and mirrors is a classic technique in magical illusions that makes an entity appear to hover in empty space. It was documented as early as 1770 and spread widely after its use by the charlatan Johann Georg Schröpfer, who claimed the apparitions to be conjured spirits. It subsequently became a fixture of 19th-century phantasmagoria shows. The illusion relies on a hidden projector the beam of which reflects off a mirror into a cloud of smoke, which in turn scatters the beam to create an image.
The phrase "smoke and mirrors" has entered common English use to refer to any proposal that, when examined closely, proves to be an illusion.

Bruges (Dutch: Brugge) is a town in Flanders, the northern part of Belgium. Relatively cosmopolitan and bourgeois given its compact size, it is one of the best preserved pre-motorised cities in Europe and offers the kind of charms rarely available elsewhere. Bruges is a postcard perfect stop on any tour of Europe.

bumper cars are a mandatory feature of every town holiday in portugal. be they of religious origin - and they mostly are - or not, you can count on bumper cars and similar paraphernalia (merry-go-rounds, rollercoasters and the like) to be there. unlike those, however, bumper cars always have a particular soundtrack, always revolving around dance music. it's usually shit. but does it have to be?
here i tried to recreate that sound, but using tracks i like and that, i think, are in better taste than the typical eurodance you'll hear blasting of the speakers around bumper cars. since i've been missing these kind of parties - in fact this is the third year in a row i'm skipping them... - , and since they formed such a big part of my childhood, this is a kind of tribute i made to my own homesickness. (like anyone cares! lol) anyway, this is just a narrative that, being on a flight with not much else to do, i decided to wrap around this set i made. hope you enjoy. tracklist below.

i was in berlin last month and being there gave me the last push i needed to make the set i've been wanting to make for the longest time. meet this.
i don't quite know how to put in words how i feel about the berlin, all that i lived there, when i lived there or not. certainly not much beyond much of the clichéd sentences one can say. i'm not sure i did a good job at relaying that feeling onto the set, but ahm, i tried.
mind the first track, which is truly an hidden gem. and the last. hope you like it. there were a few more tracks that i wanted to put in for what they meant, but they didn't really connect to the rest. maybe i'll include them in a second set - one that will be preceded by a far shorter post since i ran out of lameness for now. but please, enjoy. <3
tracklist:
thadii - three difficult words
Lee Jones - MDMazing
Tale Of Us, Mind Against - astral
Petar Dundov - synchrotonic
Ilario Alicante - awakened
Alan Fitzpatrick - organic
Amateur Dance - you give me butterflies
traumprinz - 2Bad (DJ Metatron 'What If Madness Is The Only Relief' Rework)
the concept behind this miniset is, essentially, coldness. the tracks i put together here are meant to, together, pass a introspective mood; a cold, frosty atmosphere. it gets slightly more euphoric towards the end but, essentially, this is a tracklist for winterish, low-light times.
tracklist:
Drumcell - Speak Silence (Francesco Tristano Pianowave Remix)
Rodriguez Jr. - Mistral (Original Mix)
Bedouin - Now Or Never (Original Mix)
Lindstrøm - Closing Shot (Original Mix)
i have been enjoying a break these past weeks and since i had some spare time, i decided i'd revive this sets thing a little bit. i've decided to make a lower-bpm thing, as per usual, and i really enjoyed it. hope you do too. grab a drink and listen on! or just listen on. goddamit.

03. phillipi, rodrigo - gueto de gent

spring is kicking in and as the last days here in bruges were so nice, i thought i'd make this and share with you. for some reason i stayed within only lusophone tracks/artists, but i think that'll be fine by you. :) this is a 'slowburning' kind of set, so it's all recorded at a very chill pace of 106 bpm. enjoy! :)
