This mix opened one of my friend’s 40th birthday celebrations, playing during the very first phase of the night — when people are slowly tuning in to the space and the music.

Built around a steady 125 BPM, the set follows a warm-up mindset: deep and groove-driven selections, smooth transitions and a gradual, unforced rise in energy.

The focus is on atmosphere and continuity rather than peak moments or big drops.

It’s a mix meant to set the mood, create comfort and quietly pull the room together, leaving plenty of space for the party to unfold later on.
