DJ Gotek

Possibly the shortest set ever, but what a night, had so much fun on this eve opening for Russian, DJ /Producer and one of my all-time faves, ARTY, and LOUD LUXURY, along with Seattle rising stars Leolux and Darrius, plus yours truly, Gotek. Incredible energy in the club that night, had so many friends in the audience, was so happy to be a part, no matter how short of a time slot it was. This set...

On Saturday, November 28, 2015, the November edition of Mission Trance show hit the stage at Whiskey Bar in Portland, OR, and it was a very special Thanksgiving Holiday and double-birthday DJ event called "TRANCEGIVING". I have been lucky enough to have been a fairly consistent member of this show for the past several years, and was honored to make the trip down from Seattle for this one in partic...

I was honored to have been invited by the popular Portland Trance and Progressive promotors, PLAY SATURDAYS, whom I have had the pleasure of playing for at Whiskey Bar in the past, opening for Trance superstars like Ronski Speed, Lange, and Cressida, to be their guest local DJ on the monthly Play Saturdays radio show for November. I had a lot of fun with this set and really tried to ratchet up the...

Brand new!! Just sort of randomly decided to record this more mellow and melodic Progressive House demo mix last weekend, on Saturday, October 10th. I have been collecting a lot of really great, more down-tempo Progressive tracks for the past few months, and the bare bones of this mix just happened to be what I have been practicing with on my gear lately, which gave me this kind of melancholy, hap...

Brand New!!! On Friday, September 18th, at Club Contour, Seattle, I was honored to be invited to be a part of a show put on by a local promoter/DJ, Bobby Lilly, a.k.a. Digital Ascension, called The Sounds of Trance. This particular night was also extra fun and special because it was centered around kind of a Northwest Trance celebrity’s birthday, Johnny Monsoon, so the club was full of friends and...

On Sunday, August 2nd, I took a stab at recording this mix, which was a collection of nearly all brand new, beautiful, exhilarating, and euphoric 138 BPM Trance tracks which I had put together for a set that I wanted to entitle "MAJESTIC" in tribute to the late Cecil the Lion. I ended up only doing one take of this recording, so just one pass, but liked how it turned out, but you can be the judge...

On Saturday, June 20th, 2015, I was honored to be invited to be a guest DJ for the PLAY SATURDAYS show at Whiskey Bar in Portland, OR, my old stomping ground and my home that I moved away from over six years ago, was so great to be back. On top of that I got to play a B2B set with my good friend and DJ mentor, Dj Zoxy, huge DJ talent and icon in the NW Trance scene, and I think our two styles of T...

Brand new – just recorded this live on my CDJ’s on Sat, June 6th, the latest in my series of 138 BPM Trance demo mixes, this one I entitled “SUNFLARE” due to this mix being loaded with uplifting summery tracks with huge melodic breakdowns and spine-tingly drops, plus it being the kick-off of summer and the hot weather starting to kick in here in the Pacific NW, perfect for driving fast with the wi...

Brand new demo mix, been experimenting with this one for quite a while, this mix is comprised of tracks that are much slower in BPM than I usually am able to play in a club, but over time I have accumulated quite a few tracks that I love that are between 110 and 120 BPM, and have been toying with a mix just so I could record it and listen to it for my own enjoyment, so thought I would share. It to...

On May 16, 2015, I was honored to be one of the opening DJ’s at Foundation nightclub, Seattle, for two up-and-coming DJ/Producer stars, LOST KINGS from L.A., and Swedish DJ/Producer, Prinz Adrian Johannes Hynne, better known as ADRIAN LUX, along with AUDIOH and EMERGE warming up the decks beforehand. It was a totally awesome show, and a super fun set for me to play because I had a lot of friends a...

On Saturday, April 25th, 2015, I was honored to be on the opening roster for UK DJ/Record Producer that I have been a huge fan of for many years, Stuart Langelaan, better known as LANGE. This was my second time opening for Lange in the past 2 years which was an added bonus and just like I found out the first time at Whiskey Bar in Portland, on top of being an incredible DJ and producer of such wel...
