4 years since i recorded the last Cosmic Picnic mix, time to kick some ass again, only this time it is a selection of groovy & deep techno. Don't mind the repeated tracks )

There are some tracks that i save up for a special occasion like this, tracks which i would not play on the main dancefloor except for the afterhours morning set or a gig somewhere in the wild. And if i would dance to this music i would definitely do it with my eyes closed.

One fine October weekend we got out to the lake to close the camping season. I took some silent disco headphones with me so my friends could enjoy music wherever they wanted to, we put my dj equipment on the beach and had a great time dancing and enjoying the nature around us. Music-wise the set got very eclectic, and so was the weather. One of the best experiences in months.

Had a great time playing a 2-hour set in Kumano a year later

Love my friends who let me do experiments. Been testing 5 hours of new music with them last week, which eventually came up just to 120 minutes of the selection you are about to hear, a music rollercoaster.

Was warming up the atmosphere by the pool last saturday. Despite a small rain in the beginning the weather was great and mostly sunny. Unpacked some tracks which i didn't play for quite a long time, it was a pleasure doing it.

Had fun at the Sunchill festival camp right after my gig on the main dancefloor, brought controller and some silent disco headphones for my friends. Chilled downtempo grooves and then a bit of atmospheric electro, perfect before getting a nap.

Music can heal. Tried it myself many times. There is a secret playlist of mine where i collect tracks that had a therapeutic effect on me. I took some of them and recorded a mix a year ago (Lazy Grooves Vol.16 Here Pop-up restaurant edition). It's time to record another one - different genres, different emotions. There is an unreleased track by me and my friend Oleg on 19th minute called Velvet Gamma, planning to release it this year.

Forgotten feeling of a small and dark room full of bass and sweaty people

Took a small mixing console from a friend and recorded a short mix by the pool in the middle of the jungle. Pure summer vibes in the middle of January here in Sri Lanka.
