I had wanted to record a new DJ set for some time, but kept putting it off. Without planning it, it happened last Sunday. When I pressed 'REC', I only had the first and last songs in mind. They inspired the rest of the set. I let the music guide me, and "my booth" became a place where imagination flowed, and for an hour, time stood still.

On the setlist: Pop Dell’Arte; Tom Waits; Yo La Tengo; Radiohead; Blonde Redhead; Air; TV On The Radio; Tricky; Mesa; The Smile; Club Makumba; Dead Combo; Joan As Police Woman; e Ezra Collective.

DJ Set recorded live at Bixos (Coimbra) on November 5th 2021
