A 1.5 hour set from pre-door opening grooves, mid-way mindfulness activations, to getting the party started.
UP After Dark is a social wellness dance party in Adelaide, South Australia run by UP On Purpose. It’s 0% alcohol, 100% good times and I had the pleasure of warming up the evening. The event included guided breathwork, mindset and sound bath sessions by Martine Quigley. Martine perfectly curated three songs for these moments:
Beyond Beliefs by Ben Böhmer Innerbloom by RÜFÜS DU SOL Where You Are by Zedd, Hayla, John Summit
My bookend selections supported the chill, cool, sexy vibes of the event space – a New York style loft fitted with red-room infrared lighting – and the intention for the night to move, connect, and feel good.
This was my first gig as a DJ (!). This set was also my longest recording yet. The mix is not perfect (playing live is so much more forgiving) but remember: practice/progress over perfection.
