Let's party! Another [Placeholder_Club] event is about to happen.

February 5, 2022 will be one of those legendary nights in VRChat again. Ten DJs, five hours of new  mixes, followed by an open end afterparty! Because this will be my eigth gig at PHC and I never played an opening set there, I agreed to do the opener this time. That means I'll start early, at 21:00 GMT (22:00 CET). But I won't be holding back -  I'll give you a brand new B-Step mix! I would love it if my friends could come early for the opening! ❤️

My collabo track with Dub Tribe Rising is out now

When I made my Dub Techno tune "Shokubō" in the summer of 2021, I didn't think that it would get thousands of plays on Soundcloud and Youtube, let alone inspire other musicans to record a new version of it. But that's what happened, and I am very grateful for it. The amazing singer Sabina Thompson and Dub producer/guitarist/space-echoist Thomas Panzenböck - a.k.a. Dub Tribe Rising - added their skills to the tune, which is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud and other platforms.

Keep On Coming

This is another B-Step tune I just finished.
I had great fun making it and I hope you will enjoy listening to it. 
In January, I'll play another B-Step DJ mix in La Boum Deluxe at radio FM4. It will be a one-hour set and I'm looking forward to it!

I made a new B-Step tune: Here We Go

Enjoy!

[Placeholder_Club] Mix 7 - Do you like bass?
