My set was the warm up and only listened to live by the select few that made it early doors, but warm up is warm up and you have to prep for every eventuality and that’s what I did.

Tribus

Tribal/ big room house, with a touch of breaks has always been a fave sound for me, best heard in the likes of the Ibizan church, Pacha, at Roger Sanchez’s Release Yourself nights, when the man himself would perform his legendary 7 hour sets that would take you on a real journey. With tribal beats and the big room sound starting to come through again I thought I would do a mix capturing the that sound over the last 4 decades. Enjoy x
