Gesaffelstein - Ever Now (Dario Dea Edit) by Dario De Angelis

Maybe this was all a dream...

Last summer I had the absolute pleasure of performing at Kimber Fest 2023, for the craziest, loveliest group of people I have ever met. Here is my 90-minute ride between clubby, indie, and melodic sounds <3

Last Saturday I recorded a 60-minute set in the new garden room at the Egg, where I was kindly hosted by Load. I had a lot of fun testing new demos from myself and some friends and I hope you will enjoy it :)

I think it's important to make the most of every situation. Last weekend I played a 5 hour set at Village Underground, something that I have been dreaming about for a long time. Unfortunately, it happened to be a socially distanced, sitting event, which turned out to be a little awkward to be honest, as I found it a bit hard to connect with people not being able to dance. However, I gave it my best and played a bit over 3 hours of my favorite house, classic disco and indie dance music ranging from the 80s to today (followed by a couple of hours of more clubby music, which I didn't include in this file). I hope you enjoy and hopefully there will be more chances to play a sweaty set at VU <3

I'm quite excited to share with you my latest set at Aures, an incredible venue underneath Waterloo Station. Roughly 90 minutes of my personal favorites recent and upcoming tracks from the likes of Coeus, Santiago Garcia, Ivory, Whitesquare, myself and more.

“The mistake people make is thinking DJing is some kind of competition – it’s not. Warm up means just that – create a warm vibe which welcomes people as they enter the venue and encourages them onto the dancefloor (as opposed to trying to force them…)” I had the absolute pleasure of sharing 3 hours with Gus Emmett (Warm Up legendary resident) for the opening set of our May 10th Fragments party with Toto Chiavetta. I think the best word to describe this set is probably "kindness". From start to finish we respected each other tracks, slowly building from atmospheric vibes, simmering up until the dancefloor was ready to welcome Toto. I hope you enjoy listening to this set as much as we enjoyed playing it :)

Fragments founders and residents Dario Dea B2B Victor C for a 90 minutes Christmas set before their debut on January 19th with Innellea and Kris Davis! Tickets here: https://www.residentadvisor.net/events/1189347

I had the pleasure of going back to Rabat to play for Aperos Electronique & Melodic Diggers with Lehar, Nawfal and more local DJs. This is my warmup set before Lehar, including my favorite tracks from the Indie House, Italo House and Afro House genres.

I could not have thought of a better way to close my DJ career in Dubai than a debut at Deep Like. A special line up with Hyenah, Jason Pinto and Sam Farsio, this was really the best way to say good bye to all my music friends. See you soon on some other dance floors!

The more I listen to new things, the harder I push myself in terms of music exploration and mixing. This is my last Melodic Techno mix of 2017, jammed with unique, groovy tunes.

Here is the recording of the entire set, minus the first 5 minutes (because well...I forgot to hit record). I hope you will enjoy this quirky, unusual set :)

Please bear with me for this 54 minutes. I will take you to places you don't know, and places that you remember with pleasure. You will be relaxed and then you will dance to the beat. Now sit down, chill, and enjoy this journey.

As some of you might now, I'm currently trying to learn how to produce electronic music. This mix is the result of many many hours spent some incredible tech house music :) I hope you will enjoy it as well ;)

Summer 2015 is coming to an end but it's not a good reason to be sad! New adventures are coming, it is time to set sail towards uncharted waters! Download for free on The Artist Union

4 months, 3 continents, 5 cities, loads of new friends, the waves, the city, the soul. I am grateful for this trip and I've collected my thoughts through this mix and I hope you will enjoy it. This is for you Carlos :)

"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." -Albert Einstein

As the previous chill mix was quite successful I decided to create a new chill mix, this time using mostly tunes below 100 bpm. Now Imagine to be on a sunny beach at sunset, with a good drink and great friends. This one is for you :)

Today I landed for the first time in the US! I took advantage of the 9h flight to record this mix and I hope you are going to like it as much as I do! Enjoy! P.s. Happy b-day Alex!

After my latest Tech House mix I needed something a bit more chill so I created this mix to help me and my friends to relax after a long day or to get in the perfect mood for studying and working. I hope you will enjoy it my friends!

In the past few weeks I've been pouring all of my passion, efforts and feeling into this mix. I hope you will, just like me, start dancing like no one is looking :) Enjoy!
