Float Left

Since my uptempo gigs have been coming along better than the freestyle stuff I figured I’d record another mix for you…I’ve been doing a lot of HTML work recently so the name comes from that…trying to stay in the music world and not let my job take over my life. I still have the CDJ100s and no proper monitoring but I’m really happy with this one. It’s the music I’ve been enjoying the most lately and it keeps my spirits up while waiting for the summer to finally arrive.

DJ Dovla - Ozora Festival 2009

My first set on the main floor of an international psytrance festival, this was quite an experience. I enjoyed every single moment and even though I was very nervous in the start the crowd was so welcoming to the music that I played that I soon forgot about it. Having a chill out set the night before and a nasty flu that I caught didn’t help but I managed to pull it off anyway. I can’t say I’m too fond of the Allen & Heath xone92 mixer that was up there, I’m more of a Pioneer person I guess. Still it has other advantages for sure. I was supposed to play for 2 hours but the organizer was generous enough to let me play an extra hour and that really helped me try and build a proper story. I’m very happy with how it all turned out, minus the last beatmix (we’re all human tongue wink ). The bitrate is a lower quality one because of the fact that there are some unreleased tracks in there. When they do get out I will upload a better quality version.

mnml ftw!

Here’s a taste of my uptempo stuff. If you’ve heard me play psychedelic trance and you expect something similar then you might be disappointed. As of recently I’ve started enjoying slower progressive house stuff even though I really can’t quite label this music as being house or trance or techno. And that’s why I actually enjoy it so much. I’m no longer bothered by sub genres and one of the things I love about this music is that it gives me a lot more freedom when mixing and it’s also a lot more involving than full on. My CDJ100s are already pretty banged up so the mixing isn’t ideal. I also have no proper monitoring at home and the entire idea of trying to record something as spontaneous as this is a bit frustrating. Hopefully I will manage to record some of my sets live as well. In the meantime please feel free to let me know what you think.

Fu(n)kin A

Here’s a 2 hour gem for ya. I wanted to have some fun and make a spontaneous mix without putting together a tracklist beforehand. I also wanted to make a simple cover right away as well and get the whole thing online without too much fuss. I’m very pleased with how it turned out. I still don’t have proper monitoring for home recording so some levels might be a bit on and off. This is a selection of tracks I’ve been listening to recently so instead of planning some specific artists I just decided to record the music I like. Hope you like the music as much as I do.

Tracklist

  1. Spoonbill - Sunny Side Up

Cut it Out

Even though I’ve been playing as a chill out DJ for 5 years this is the first actual chill out promo mix I made. I never quite felt it was required and it’s never the same vibe when recording something at home or at a party. But I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. It covers most of the styles I prefer to play. I’m not as happy with the transitions but I never bother with beatmixing downtempo music since I think it just limits you creatively. The cover is a photo taken during my vacation on the coast of Croatia.

Tracklist

  1. Spoonbill - Low and Easy
  2. Krusseldorf - Ripper
  3. Tipper - No Dice
  4. Sympath - Hibernation
  5. Koan - Fashionable Mood
  6. Fingertwister - I Remember Jah (Ooze Remix)
  7. Quantic - An Announcement To Answer
  8. Bonobo - Days To Come
  9. Dab Screen meets Irina Mikhailova - Keep Your Fire Burnin’
  10. Federico Baltimore - 51st Street Blues
  11. Krusseldorf - Rucksack of Tricks

Booking Details

Neon Bookings

Interested in booking me for your party, festival or any other gathering? All of my International bookings outside Croatia are now handled exclusively by The Neon Bookings Agency. The basic requirements are of course transportation, a place to stay and above all, a positive vibe. For other details such as the fee it depends on the size of the venue so just get in touch with Simon Baring or Samantha Lasbury at info@neonbookings.com. As for Croatia I handle all the bookings myself so if you are a local organizer just get in touch with me directly via email: contact@dovla.info

As far as the music selection goes I'm fairly flexible. For the more dancefloor oriented stuff I play mostly progressive trance and for the laid back side chill out music of all shapes and sizes.

I prefer long sets which is especially the case with my Chill out stuff since I always try to cover a broad spectrum of it. Anything from IDM to glitch, glitch hop and trip hop goes. But it's best for you to just download some of the mixes on this section to get a good idea of what it is I play. In case you want to book me for an International gig I always prefer to do both sets.
