This episode is all about proper Techno: groovy, slamming, heads-down, and sometimes melodic too. I feel that nowadays many people use the word ‘techno’ to describe something entirely different, sometimes they call progressive house tunes ‘techno’, sometimes trance tracks are mislabeled as ‘techno’, and there is, of course, a whole ‘melodic techno’ thing which rarely does anything to do with techno. So enjoy this proper, real Techno mix (with a couple of trancey tracks).

The diversity of the Progressive scene really excites me because now, as a DJ, I have much more flexible tools to play around with different energy levels, rather than being locked to always playing banging sets like I used to do. So yeah, now I can play opening sets, peak-time sets, closing sets, or whatever, and I just love the musical freedom I have now.
As for today’s show, I’d like to give you a warm-up set, with deep progressive and long progression, so it’s all about the groove. Of course, by the end, I’ll spice things up a little bit, and you’ll hear my brand new track that is coming out next month on JOOF Recordings.

Rave Podcast with Daniel Lesden

July’s show is quite unusual: as you know I’m a Psytrance music producer, but I also have a love and passion for a deeper side of music which I would like to showcase for you today. I like how the Psytrance labels now embrace that deeper sound as well, as we see more of such music coming out from names like Nano Records, Iono Music, JOOF, Iboga etcetera, they all seem to realise how fresh it is now.

And for the second hour, we have a guest mix from Datacult, a very talented German producer and sound designer.

For years I’ve been known as a very diverse DJ, playing from some of the deepest music up to fast, pounding, banging tracks. And it’s always quite challenging to showcase all of my musical taste in a single mix or even a gig, for example when my set is in the peak time in the middle of the event, I just can’t play some slower tunes because usually it’s a duty of a warm-up DJ, but I just love doing both: playing deep and pounding, and especially making progression between the two.

So, today I’d like to try to do exactly that, hence why I’ve recorded an extended, two-hour mix. It’s still just a glimpse of my taste, obviously two hours isn’t that much, and I would probably need at least a 6-hour set to fit all my recent musical findings, but anyway :-) Enjoy!
