Eletun Selona - Safe
I like the title of this one because it does make me feel safe indeed. Safe enough to know that Eletun Selona was an artist to keep an eye on. Such a shame he or she passed away. If you hear me, I hope you feel safe up there with 2Pac. The remix from Ben Kaczor is great as well but it misses the vocals from the original in my view.
Elfenberg - Ritmo Paradiso
Found thanks to Axel Boman. Boman, Mr Tophat & Art Alphie and Jesper Dahlbäck already made Sweden sunny. Elfenberg pushes it further by making it even trippier with a nice acid touch. This track will make you dance, smile and feel the sunrays on your happy face. And if you close your eyes you could even freely go back to Outro Lado for free.
Eletun Selona - Breathing Quieter
Martinou closed this set with this track (Martinou Kune Takeover ending). The smooth vocals, the rythm and the overall breakbeatish vibe took me over.
Edward - Tecsol
Edward has a unique sound, digs really interesting music and released here a killer one imo. I discovered it inadvertently while trying to play the overly famous Maybe by Kettenkarussel. And then, the magic happened…
Alex Banks - A Way Out
Somehow an organized mayhem, dense, melancolic and perfect to end the night.
Raymond Castoldi - The Solo
Another great track discovered thanks to Edward in his Outro Lado 2022 mix.
Aaron K Gray & Conway Casey - You (Timmy Regisford Remix)
House and warmy track found via Laurent Garnier’s Deep Search podcast. The kind of track that goes well in many environments with people having different tastes. This one feels good and always will.
DJ Koze - Buschtaxi
DJ Koze’s music is singular. This one is no different and teleport you in a spiritual madness deep in the jungle with birds singing around you.
DEHD - Bad Love
Hey kids! Wanna travel for free in California without paying a dime or telling your parents. Listen to this or click here directly you poor bastard.
S.A.M - Strings From Mars
Cabaret Sauvage, April 2025, 4.30am, Lawrence decides to takes things further by playing this one. Cosmic groovy basslines. No luck with Shazam. No luck with the Giegling Discord server either. Lucho desperately tries the Giegling Facebook group with no hope. Next day someone answers with this long awaited gem from S.A.M (I recommend Money Blues from him btw). Lucho starts believing in god.
GǼG - Bonne. M
September 2025, Rex Club, 3:47am, club is packed, Axel sends this psychedelic UFO. Club goes crazy. Absolute banger mixing acid, japanese house, 80s vibe and crazy synths. New artist in town to watch closely: GǼG.
Irini - Too Lost in Love
Veni, vidi, vici. Everyone thinks about Julius with this saying but it makes me feel about our most famous yet to be seen for real Giegling artist with way too many aliases: Irini, DJ Metatron, Traumprinz, Prince of Denmark, DJ Healer, Prime Minister of Doom, The Phantasy, Golden Baby, Dr Sun. Trance track molded by and for the dancefloor (inspired by Legend B - Lost In Love).
Leafar Legov - Let Me Know (A)
This year selection wouldn’t feel complete without this absolute gem from M. Vogel. It’s simply magnificient. Period.
