Here is the first of the DJ sets I played this year at Nowhere 2009. Not the first I played this year in the Monegros desert, but probably the one where I had more fun playing. Enjoy the very funky and uplifting 2hrs sunset session (8-10PM) I played at the new amazing Belgian barrio KosmoZoo. I kicked the DJ set off with a very funky deep house tune I really love, then jumped immediately into Chicago house, mostly exploring the production of UK-based house label Soul Revolution, that I have recently discovered on BandCamp. At around half set I moved to UK garage and bass music, I dropped some afro-jamaican-brazilian percussions, and I finally closed the set with a bit of progressive deep house tunes. The final part of the set has been epic, a desert classic. A night dust storm was approaching, while the sunset painted the sky in reds and blacks, and the first drops of rain started coming down. Meanwhile, the KosmoZoo crew was protecting speakers and electronics from rain and securing tarps from the wind, I was playing a remixed version of Nathan Fake’s “The Sky was Pink”, and everybody kept dancing until the end of the set. Loved it. Stay tuned, as I will be releasing all other Nowhere 2019 DJ sets soon!

Welcome to the Together Mansion, an amazing co-creators space in Trastevere, the heart of Rome. And welcome to Room Beats, the “packed small living room” version of the classic Boiler Room – the DJ at the center of the room, surrounded by an happy dancing crowd. A couple of weeks ago I have been invited to play at the closing event of the season, also closing the line-up after the sets of RoyTson and Estien – check them out, they are good! My Room Beats set has been defined by participants’ mood. I was not sure about the best sound to bring to a living room party – I thought people wanted cool, groovy beats, while I was ready to hit hard and rave – so we let participants decide by choosing a pill (obvious choice was blue or red) and putting it in a jar. Problem was that the responses were pretty much balanced between groove and rave, so I adapted and ended up kicking off with some groove techno tunes, to slowly move on to more acid, ravey sounds. Everybody loved it, and I had a great time. Can’t wait to play the Room Beats again!

I’m back to my roots, as Mr. Garnier would say… techno! Actually, TEKNO with a K, because this techno of raver/banging grade. Talking about Laurent Garnier, I was moved to record this studio DJ set as the French master just released a couple of new massive tracks last weekend, as part of a french movie soundtrack. Both of the tracks are here in this mix, opening and closing the 2 hrs set. I hope you enjoy them, and the rest of the mix!

Earlier this week I ended up at the hospital’s emergency room for an acute pain crisis. Nothing serious, but I’ve been severely sedated, and the doctor prescribed me a couple of weeks of absolute rest, and plenty of pills, including very powerful opioids for the pain. So this morning I followed the doctor’s orders and I popped my pills, plugged into Traktor, put the headphones on, and I immersed myself for 3 hours into a psychedelic chill state that I would love to share. Enjoy it, with or without the chemical support! Note: opioid prescriptions are bad and very addictive. Try to keep them at large if you can, and always ask your doctor for alternative pain relief methods, whenever possible. If you really must, then do not abuse. You can definitely abuse dancing, it’s really good for you.

This is the first of my DJ sets at the recent Italian Burning Boots – IBB 2018, a a very nice small scale burners gathering in the woods of Tuscany. The campfire flame in the cover image has not been photoshopped – the flames were actually colourful and psychedelic thanks to a special magic powder I threw in. A cheap trick, but very effective and entertaining! Enjoy the DJ set, dance, download and share!
