Show Notes
Step into the booth for this exclusive look back at one of my favorite sets of 2024. In this episode, I’m revisiting the full two-hour warm-up session I played at the iconic Gaskessel Bern, setting the stage for the powerhouse herself, Daria Kolosova.
A warm-up set is more than just “early music” it’s about architectural tension. The goal for this night was to create a journey that allowed the room to breathe while steadily building the sonic pressure required for the high-octane energy Daria Kolosova is known for. From deep, atmospheric textures to driving, rhythmic pulses, this set was crafted to bridge the gap between the calm of the early evening and the peak-time intensity that followed.
Whether you were on the floor that night or are just discovering these tracks, this mix captures the anticipation and the distinct energy of the well known Techno event SOMNIA at Gaskessel Bern.
