The Good Life Is Here - Episode 003

DSD - The Good Life Is Here - Episode 005 (Through The Prism)

Recorded in Johannesburg as a dedication to those who made the pilgrimage to Quaggafontein for AfrikaBurn 2026. This year's theme was Through The Prism — an invitation to look at identity, perception and presence as an incandescent spectrum, light bending and refracting through the dust of the Tankwa Karoo. From outside the playa, this set is a sonic gift back: sixty minutes at 127 BPM, melodic textures threaded through warm low-end, refracted synth lines, and the kind of slow-building tension that mirrors the long arc from desert sunset to the nightly burns. For the burners, the builders, the gifters, and the ones who packed a week of water and left no trace. For Tankwa Town — temporary, radical, gone again until next year. The Good Life Is Here.

The Good Life is Here - Episode 004 (curated for a monster workout)

A harder cut. One hour of current progressive and melodic techno locked at 127 BPM — tighter grooves, more drive, less drift. This set leans into the percussive side of the genre: relentless basslines, urgent synth work, and builds that don't let up. Still melodic. Still DSD. Just with more teeth. Ideal for runners, gym sessions, or anyone who needs an hour of unbroken forward momentum. Made in Johannesburg for everyone's listening pleasure. 🎧 Progressive Techno / Melodic Techno 📍 Johannesburg, South Africa 🏃 127 BPM — built for movement

The Good Life Is Here - Episode 003

Recorded during a bush break at Mabalingwe Nature Reserve with my daughters. Just over one hour of melodic techno and progressive house shaped by wide skies, birdsong at dawn, and the stillness between the trees. This set trades concrete and neon for red earth and open air — slower to build, warmer in tone, grounded in the kind of quiet that only the bushveld delivers. Proof that the good life isn't always on the dancefloor. Sometimes it's barefoot on a stoep, watching the sun drop behind the Waterberg, with the music doing exactly what the landscape does — making everything else disappear.

DSD - The Good Life Is Here - Episode 002

"The Good Life Is Here" is a sonic meditation on presence — the radical idea that everything you've been searching for is already underneath your feet. Built across layers of melodic techno and progressive house, this set moves through tension and release the way life does: not toward some distant destination, but deeper into the moment you're standing in. This isn't background music. It's a one-hour argument that the dancefloor — right here, right now — is the only place you need to be.
