On Friday, Jan 19th, 2018, I was honored to be on the opening roster for a truly classic and household name for anyone who’s been listening to this type of music since the far earlier days; iconic UK record producer and DJ, CHICANE. This was a sold-out show and it turned out to be an absolutely mesmerizing and magical evening with SO many people and fans of all ages who came out to see Chicane wea...

Brand new, I've been working on this one for a while, a collection of spine-tingly 138 BPM uplifting and euphoric Trance, just in time for the kick-off of holiday season! Featuring mostly brand-new (or at least fairly recent) releases from some of my favorites artists in the genre, plus some bright new names to the scene as well, but the common denominator is every single track on this 70 minute s...

On Friday, October 27th, 2017, I was honored to be on the opening roster, along with my good buddy and fellow Seattle Trance DJ, Derrick Gennrich, for one of my personal favorite Trance DJ/Producers from yesteryear, an Irish Trance DJ/Producer visiting Seattle all the way from Wales, Mr. PURE himself, Richard Mowatt, commonly known as SOLARSTONE, at the Underground. This is actually the 2nd time I...

On Saturday, July 22nd, 2017, I was incredibly honored to be one of a handful of local Seattle DJ’s to be invited to spin a set at a party that has become a bit of a legendary institution on the East Side over the past decade, Chris Paape’s annual Cabana Party on Lake Sammamish, Washington. Chris is a friend, former workmate, and fellow DJ buddy that has been playing around Seattle for as long as...

On Friday, July 21st, I was honored to be on the opening roster for world-renown and beloved Progressive House Pioneer, GAI BARONE, visiting us all the way from Italy for the “Elements” Progressive House show at the Underground, Seattle. This was an incredibly fun show to play at, and it was so great getting to meet Gai and talk to him for a while before my set to get his perspectives on music pro...

Hello my friends! Well.. I’ve been gone a while, but I’M BACK (haha!) My job has been taking a lot of my time lately with lot of travels etc, plus I recently bought some new DJ gear, which sat around in my office useless and collecting dust until just recently when I had some spare time to get it set up and start playing on it. I have had a few shows lately, and those sets will be up here soon, bu...

Brand new!! Just in time for Spring I finally got around to recording the latest iteration of my Uplifting and Euphoric 138 BPM Trance demo sets, something that started off as more of an inwards-focused novelty, since I so rarely get an opportunity to spin 138 live in clubs, to record just a couple sets to get some of my favorite Trance tracks and classics on the airwaves so I myself could enjoy t...

On Sat, Nov 17, 2012, I was invited to be the guest DJ for the 2-hour spot on Jason LeMaitre's Progressive Saturdays show in the Blue Room at Trinity Nightclub in Seattle. Jason is is a well-known DJ in Seattle and he had been a resident at Trinity running this renown show every Saturday for several years, and it was such an honor to be a part of it. This was a very memorable and special night for...

Decided to record a new chill proggy-deep demo set to kick off 2017, sort of in a holding pattern in between shows, but meanwhile the music keep flowing endlessly and I can’t sit idle for too long haha.. I intended this mix to be a more ambient and Deep set, but did some genre blending and kind of started off more progressive and transitioned over into Deep House territory and then back into some...

Well, thought I would try to record one last set for 2016, and a 138 BPM mix seemed appropriate for the Happy Holidays and Year End, so here it is!!! I honestly wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to pull this off because I have spent much of this month recovering in bed from some surgery I had at the beginning of Dec, which has been a very painful process, but just managed to get well enough in...

Brand new!! Once again I was beyond honored to be on the opening roster for one of those gargantuan names in Trance, a true pioneer and contributor to the formation of the Trance genre in the early years, one of the founders of NU-NRG with all of their classic Trance hits from the late 90’s that Trance enthusiasts hold so near and dear, and so much more between then and now, Italian DJ/Producer me...

On Friday, August 26th, I was very honored to be part of the opening roster for a rising star in the global 138 BPM Trance Circuit running his hi-NRG hit Trance tracks with the likes of FSOE, ASOT, Gods Kitchen, and Armada, all the way from Sweden, BJORN AKESSON. I helped kick the night off with Andy K and MarQ, and had a super fun night playing this set with a ton of my friends and Trance fans wh...

It seems I have been on a 138 BPM kick lately, and to add to the ever-expanding “DJ Gotek repertoire of 138 BPM mixes” I finally got around to recording this earlier in the week on Monday, August 15, 2016, after several weeks of delay due to business travel for my “real job” (haha)! This one was a lot of fun and I was able to cross a few more of my favorite EPIC classics from yesteryear off my buc...

This one has some brighter summery sounds and features an assortment of incredible and euphoric just-released stuff, plus a few EPIC CLASSICS that seemed to fit the mix perfecty.. I recorded this on the afternoon of Sunday, July 10, and have been pretty excited about this one for a while because A.) there seems to be an uptick of jaw-droppingly gorgeous...

On Saturday, July 2nd, 2016, I had the honor of being invited down to play at a show called DEEP & PROGRESSIVE at the Whiskey Bar in Portland, OR, which I have played at before many times, and each time I am totally thrilled because the people who come out to the shows there are typically great Trance fans with a lot of “Trance Fam” vibes and support for the DJ’s, both local and all the huge headl...

On Friday, June 17th, I was honored to have been invited to play alongside some of Seattle finest Progressive House and Trance DJ’s. Eric Weber, a.k.a. “WEB”, Jason LeMaitre, Alex Henkens, a.k.a. “Frequent Flyer Miles”, and Tony Apfelbeck, ½ of “Cartographer”, at a unique show call “SLIGHTLY CHILLED” that was meant to be a more laid-back and classy eve with wine tasting during the earlier cocktail...

On the eve of Tuesday, May 14th, I finally got around to forcing myself to record a chill and progressivy semi-Balearic beach-themed demo mix that I entitled "Somewhere Over Ibiza", a mix that I had been planning and working on for probably 6 months or more. It all starts with an idea, and by the time I recorded this the entire mix had probably been abolished and re-worked something like 7 or 8 ti...

On Sat, May 7th, Seattle had one of its first large-scale 100% purely Trance festival-style shows at WaMu Theater called “BLISS, The Awakening”, which drew over 10,000 Trance fans out on an epic day of beautiful NW sunshine and gorgeous summery weather for an incredible night of Trance. I was very honored to be invited to join a rare collection of NW Trance and Progressive DJ’s from Seattle and up...

On Friday, April 22nd, I was truly honored to be on the opening line-up for world-renown Trance Pioneer, Record Producer, and DJ from the UK, SOLARSTONE, at the Sounds of Trance show at the Underground, Seattle. This was one of those times where I had to make sure I wasn’t dreaming because I have been a fan of Solarstone and the Pure Trance show for such a long time, some of my very earliest Tranc...

Finally got around to recording the latest in my 138 BPM Trance demo series last Saturday afternoon, a beautiful sunny day in Seattle that I should probably have been outside doing something healthy rather than hanging out in my poorly lit studio blowing my eardrums out, but oh well, hopefully you will think it was worth it! I decided to just call this one by the month rather than try to think of...

On Saturday, March 26th, 2016, I was honored to be invited down to be a guest DJ for a popular recurring Trance/Progressive DJ show in Portland, OR, at Whiskey Bar called HAPPY SATURDAYS, organized and promoted by my good buddy out of Seattle, Eric Weber a.k.a. DJ WEB. This show is usually local NW DJ's but occasionally has well-known headliners; this time was kind of a special night because it wa...

On Friday, March 4th, I got around to recording this demo Trance set that I had been thinking about for a while. As it sometimes happens, I arranged some of my favorite tracks and intended to do a practice run, but hit the record button on my M-Audio MicroTrack II “just in case” and this is what turned out, so I kept it. I intended to make this a very airy, melodic, euphoric, classic-sounding 138...

On Friday, Feb 12th, 2016, it was a distinct honor and privilege to be invited as an opener for one of my all-time Trance Idols, world-renown German Trance record-producer and DJ, ALEX M.O.R.P.H., at Box House (formerly Last Supper Club). I was also joined by fellow Seattle DJ’s Invincity, as well as Marc Pospisil, a.k.a. MarQ, well-known NW Trance DJ/Producer as well as the promoter of this show...
