OWL - Page 80

Just a few weeks after making an incredible mix for our “Sundays are for...'' series, OWL leaves us in awe with his contribution to one of the most exciting podcast series online - The Memoir. As we featured many sets from this series in the past, you may already be familiar with the concept behind it - artists make 60+min mixes entirely of their productions, often featuring primarily unreleased material. OWL grabbed this opportunity with both hands and brought us a mind-boggling journey that slowly unfolds from lush ambient into a powerful deep hypnotic techno. Just to make a U-turn in the final quarter and through recognizable OWL's atmospheric drum'&'bass, go back to a lovely downtempo and ambient.

Maara - Truancy Volume 295

The last two years have been quite exciting for the Montreal-based producer and DJ, Maara, after a string of excellent releases on NAFF, Isla, and Radiant Love Plus put her in the spotlight. Currently, on a European tour, this young talented DJ found time to record a mix and answer a few questions for the Truants platform. The mix is a true energizer which would shake every dancefloor. This is what Maara said about the mix: "I wanted this mix to encapsulate live energy and include some of my dancefloor favorites. While the first part of the mix is chill, after 20 mins I start to focus on more stuff I like to play out. I'm challenging myself to embrace both improvisation and imperfection, and stray away from making super formulaic mixes. I hope it's still a blast to listen to! I've included lots of forthcoming music from friends that I love."

An incredible ambient journey by the one and only Donato Dozzy.

There were 60 people audience lying on the sand, a few candles and a 4+1 Turbosound system. I played my own productions including a few unreleased tunes.
