New Jack Swing with
@breakdnz
I’m really happy to finally share this set with you. Deniz not only has outstanding taste in music, but his DJ skills are truly top-notch. I’m grateful not just for all the new music he brings into my life, but also for the inspiration I get every time I hear him play.
After a short conversation and some preparation for this set, we quickly landed on the theme of New Jack Swing. It felt like the perfect choice, since we both share a deep love for all the artists featured in this mix.
The biggest challenge while producing this set was actually staying focused in the kitchen. The groove was so infectious that I constantly felt like dropping everything and just dancing: I just had to make sure I didn’t cut myself while cooking.
It was an absolute pleasure, and I feel very lucky to have Deniz as a friend. He’s an incredibly kind and supportive person within the Hamburg DJ community, someone who not only creates new formats such as
@no.algordm and inspires people, but is always there to support others as well.
I’m also a big fan of the
@hayat.sounds party series, which he co-founded with
@shari_who and
@sir_manselot It quickly gained popularity right from the very first event. If you’re ever planning a trip to Hamburg, you should definitely check if there’s a Hayat.Sounds party happening while you’re in town.
For this set, we decided to go with poké. I started making poké myself a few years ago, after spending time in Hawaii and experiencing what real poké actually tastes like and not the versions you often find in so-called poké shops here, where the fish content is maybe 20% and the rest is just vegetables. Nothing against vegetables, but authentic Hawaiian poké is all about fresh fish!
We hope you enjoy this set 🪩
