5 days away from NEST #2, the 150 people capacity festival I organize with some friends 1h from Barcelona! π£π³
I can honestly say last yearβs edition has been the most intense, but also the most rewarding and most personal experience of my decade-long 'career' of event organization and I canβt wait for another wild week-end in our 13th century mill in the Catalan hills π‘
It's a pleasure to bring this special musical diversity - rarely seen in such festivals and in Barcelona - with our headliner this time being the sickest hip-hop selector Beatpete (last year was downtempo queen Melina Serser!), as well as many exciting international and local talents for an intimate journey through our 3 different stages.

Packing my records for a 2nd round of what was a truly unique experience last year : the boutique festival Le Chant des Oiseaux in France π¦
I've been digging lots of new music the past few months for this one, starting off with a similar flow as this mix recorded at the previous edition : soundcloud.com/kanvasfm/music...
Spanning from ambient to dub, hip-hop, downtempo, new wave... and then easing into more upbeat house and UKG, finishing with a couple of hours of b2b2b with my Kommuna boys pekkuliar & driahn π₯°
Hope to see many of you on Friday π

Summer is looking incredibly exciting, with many festivals and club nights that I've been looking forward to for a loong time!! Can't wait to reunite with old friends and make new ones along the way. π»
Special mention to our very first micro-festival "Nest Fest" in Barcelona organized between Mass & Kommuna - more info soon! π£
A big big hug to everyone who contributes to letting me do what I love the most - may it be coming down for a boogie, enjoying my Youtube selection, sending over music for the channel, listening to my podcasts / Kanvas radio, buying records from my labels or thinking of me for your event! π
Sometimes the work involved to keep all those platforms active can be a bit overwhelming, but the amazing feedback I get keeps me motivated to share all kinds of music with you through as many ways as possible. π€
OK enough emotional speech, see you on the dancefloooor hehe - starting tonight in Toulouse π

As a huge charity effort for our brothers & sisters in Ukraine, Guerrilla Bizarre has put together an absolute bang-for-your-buck compilation (almost 70 tracks!!) featuring a beautiful variety of music from artists & friends ππ
Iβve selected and shared a few favs on the channel, hope you'll discover some great tunes, and have a look at the rest too - you could easily make a great 1h set just out of all these seriously! π

Back to the Youtube game after a few weeks of break with a special LP by @gene_on_earth ! π‘ππ£
It's been an absolute pleasure to host his projects from the start on my channel - which I unfortunately had to put aside for a few weeks as I've been in the middle of a flat move... quite the mission with thousands of records, studio gear etc. π°
HOWEVER things are getting back in order, and I'm catching up slowly on emails and scheduling uploads for the coming weeks - got loads of nice stuff that I look forward to share with y'all β€οΈ

While my podcasts & DJ Sets usually focuses on the more old & obscure side of things, it was a very fun exercise to be asked by Subwax Distribution to record a podcast with only music from their catalog! π΅οΈββοΈ
As it's also the distro of my own labels Kommuna and Jam Dem Sounds, it was a good chance to sneak in a few upcoming tracks (& even a prod of mine), while also supporting many friends + of course a few unearthed ones π
Really happy with how this turned out, hope you'll dig it too! x

Six years after my first self-published, non-dance music mix, here's volume 2! π
soundcloud.com/kanvasfm/musicforlisteningvol2
This time coming to you as Kanvas, a project which has provided a large share of my musical inspiration the last few years, leading me to revisit and meticulously organize music I had accumulated over a lifetime, and researching the best ways to assemble truly genre-bending selections. π€
This recording is the non-dancey half of my opening set on the sunny Saturday afternoon during Le Chant des Oiseaux festival by Atipik.
People were slowly gathering, some chilling in the grass, others bopping their heads on what would soon become a dancefloor. For many of us, this festival represented the first time in over a year and a half we attended such event - a very cherished memory. ππ
Hope you enjoy the selecta (despite a few dodgy transitions and some saturation issues) as much as I enjoyed this moment!

Last year I started my own label Jam Dem Sounds - it's time for a 2nd fruity release with a juicy 5-tracker by man like Crump π
3 summery UKG numbers, a homage to old school jungle and a downtempo headnodder.
