This set comes with a little piece of writing, I hope you enjoy it.

Music is my passion. Being able to fill in to DJ at sunrise for The Kazbah's crew, was for sure the highlight of my Burn. I met many of you dancers through the week, and I would like to connect and continue sharing music and experiences with you.

I must THANK YOU my dear friend Ian for making it happen (as always, I'm nothing without your manager skills) and THANK YOU SO MUCH to Firas and Ali, who were the boothkeepers at Kazbah that morning and opened the gates so I could perform.

I can tell Ian didn't enjoy my set's opening. The first text message I received when I turned off airplane mode on Monday was "Dude play normal shit. Not techno.". I want to share the story of this set. I hope it evoques your own feelings, but this is what I tried to do:

I was at the Kazbah for over an hour before I started playing. I soaked the vibe. I felt the crowd. I feel this is very important on a camp like this, where most of the people commit to dance all night long and well into the morning. The DJ playing right before me had been playing beautiful deep melodies and creating a loving atmosphere on a pretty steady tone. When it was my turn to play I decided it was time to "stir the pot" with the big spoon. I believe it worked! Open eyes, groovy dance moves, fists in the air. A new party had just begun, morning coffee is strong today. I followed with heavy basslines, psychodelic synths, hints of electro, progressive and tribal percussion to lift the dancers into the deep groove of "Real Love". You followed, so I got a little deeper with darker synths to finally throw you a rope out with dreamy steel pan melodies as the sky turned red and orange. The SUN decided to join the party and it was time for "I need your loving... like the sunshine". I saw hugs, kisses and melancholic gazes to the horizon... followed with pure joy and more dancing. My job was done, and you had made me the happiest person in the Playa. I started slowly paving the way for the next artist with Peggy Gou's hit "Han Jan", followed by Jimpster's "Becoming Cyclonic" dreamy guitars and deep beat.

Were you there? How did you remember this sunrise?

Lots of Love to the Kazbah family and all my fellow burners!

Kristin asked me to put some tracks together to go run in the park on the first warm day of spring in NY... This came out, and we ran in the sun. Now We Are Here. Enjoy!! - compiled and mixed by Jorge Madden in Brooklyn, NY - 14th April 2018

Live recording of the first hour of my set for RELEVANT at Halcyon (Brooklyn, NY) - Septembet 22, 2017. Starting funky and groovy developing into a can't stop dancing tech house mood. A disfrutar!

I've been looking back at that time when I spent one year in Ibiza producing music full time... so many magic and beautiful moments come to my mind! Here are some of the songs I produced there in my studio in Paraiso del Mar, Talamanca. Please leave comments! <3

After months of sailing, traveling and working on different things, I finally take a break to mix a new set with all the awesome music that I have found in the last months... enjoy!!

Después de unos meses navegando, viajando y trabajando en diferentes asuntos, por fin me he puesto a mezclar una nueva sesión con el MUSICÓN que he estado juntando desde principio de año... a disfrutar!!

Happy new year! Feliz año!

I finished and started the year with fitness in mind. I decided to make a mixtape at 125bpm with some of my favourite tunes for the gym, running, biking... whatever it is you do. When any of this pops up on my headphones I just have to keep pushing, I hope it has the same effect on you and it helps with the new year's fitness resolutions :)

Acabé y empecé el año haciendo mucho deporte. Me apetecía hacer una sesión a 125 bpm con los temas que más me motivan últimamente, ojalá os sirvan para meterle caña al gimnasio, la bici, las carreras... lo que sea que os guste hacer. Motivación para cumplir esas promesas de año nuevo!
