After a six-month hiatus, we are back! Welcome to club.rave.listen [Episode 10].
On New Year's Eve 2024 in Kalamazoo, Michigan, I orchestrated a one-of-a-kind DJ set that brought the vibrant and dynamic sounds of Europe and Latin America to the heart of the Midwest. This unique mix, filled with melodic techno, progressive house, and deep/dark trance, is a fusion of styles that currently dominate the global club scenes outside of the USA.
Tracks like Vakabular and Red Machine's "Turn Off The Heat" and Khainz's "The Drift" set an electrifying tone. At the same time, Anyma's "Explore Your Future (Extended Mix)" and Kevin de Vries' "Dance With Me" introduced a sense of mystery and euphoria. The mix continued to build with powerful beats and hypnotic rhythms from artists like Duke Dumont, Nathan Nicholson, and Matt Fax, showcasing the future of rave culture with Airsand and TuraniQa's "Rave Is The Future" and Modern Brothers' "Unhole."
By bringing these worldly sounds to Kalamazoo, I aimed to represent and share Europe and Latin America's rich, diverse musical landscapes. This set celebrated cultural exchange, bridging the gap between continents through the universal language of music and offering a unique experience to a college town audience typically more familiar with the sounds of nearby Chicago and Detroit.
