2023 was a milestone year for Amapiano... just ask Rihanna (I may or may not have played her favorite song of the year in this set...).Here is my 2023 recap, cooked for the best radio show in Switzerland aka "NAYUNO", on @couleur3 radio, with guest appearences from Calliopé, Wham, and Palestine Freedom. s/o and thanks again @vinczlee & Geos!
"La Gravière (Geneva, Switzerland) - 15.07.23".A few days ago, I had the honour to play @lagraviere alongside some great DJs/artists….It was an early set and to be honest with you my friends, it was one of those nights where doubts and fear of failing were on the guestlist without being invited... you know what I’m talking about my fellow DJs…and every single one of you I guess....« Comme par magie » as soon as my first transition went even more smoothly than I wanted to… this huge weight on my shoulders instantly disappeared and I embarked on one of my best, most soulful and unexpected #amapiano set to date….I wanted to share all of this with you, in all sincerity and enjoyment….Thanks a lot to @lagraviere for the welcome and trust 🙌🏾🙏🏾🔥.This is what Amapiano does to you….Amapiano to the World 🌎 .📸 and ❤️: @s_uperwoman

" Would you like to learn to tango Darling? - Right now? - I'm offering you my services, free of charge, what do you say... - Huh... I think I'd be a little afraid... - Of what? - Afraid of making a mistake... - No mistake in the tango, Darling, not like life... simple! That's what makes tango so great. If you make a mistake, you get all tangle up... just tango on...! Would you try? We try it? - Aight I'll give it a try! - Hold me down son!"
Don't be afraid my dears... tango on!
Happy Valentine's Day

Idris: If I'm trying to impress my date, should I be a bad boy persona or a good guy persona? Kid 1: Bad, because if you're good, then you might have to wear glasses, suspenders and ugly trousers and then your watch will be a babyish one and then your date will probably slap you because she likes someone bad. Kid 2: Good by far. Yeah coz you want her to like you in order to like... you might wanna propose to her some day. Idris: haha that's true... you're very romantic aren't ya...
So? #gangstalove? Really?

Vous connaissez le test de la portière?
Il est infaillible...
Listen carefully and stay safe...
"La "Friendzone" est un état psychologique dans lequel vous vous retrouvez piégé lorsque vous éprouvez des sentiments envers une personne qui, lui ou elle, vous considère comme un véritable ami."
Person 1 : How would you react if I told you I like you? Person 2 : I'm sorry, I don't mean to hurt you, but I would prefer us to be just friends. Person 1 is now a complete non-sexual entity, like a brother, or a lamp, in other words, welcome to the friendzone.
Stay safe brothers and sisters...
nope: the answer to all the questions this lockdown brought to your lonely & single mind... yeah I know this set doesn't help... but stay home anyway damnit!
"Love liberates. It doesn’t just hold—that’s ego. Love liberates. It doesn’t bind. Love says, ‘I love you. I love you if you’re in China. I love you if you’re across town. I love you if you’re in Harlem. I love you. I would like to be near you. I’d like to have your arms around me. I’d like to hear your voice in my ear. But that’s not possible now, so I love you. Go" Maya Angelou
Sounds of my heartbeat to yours.
