My set for Rocking the Daisies on 4 October 2014. I was booked to open the Beach Bar floor with a downtempo set. I don’t get booked for chill out sets often, so I was more than excited to do it.

I’ve included all my favourite types of downtempo, including ambient, chill dub techno, trip hop and ends off with some super chilled deep house.

The set was compiled and recording as an Ableton Live DJ set.

Our second Thrumcast for 2014 , compiled and mixed entirely on vinyl, is brought to us by Thrum Room co-founder Helmut J. 

“What started as a simple listen/mix session, turned out to be the selection I’m happy with to showcase my own understanding of the foggy & warm sound known as dub techno and dub infused house.” 

Originating from Johannesburg, Helmut J is known mostly for his versatile flowing journeys into ambient & deeper Tech House, and more so for his darker penchant for Minimal & Dub Techno. Helmut is now based in Cape Town where he has been drawing on his creative energy in the form of production.
