DJ Bolivia - Live at Club Maasai (Arusha), 2013-11-30

This is the last (and my favorite) of three shows that I recorded while I was travelling in Africa last month. This was recorded during a set at a club called "Club Maasai" in Arusha, Tanzania.




Maasai was a fun club. Good prices, lots of room to dance, and a friendly crowd. Their local resident DJ, Mathew Miller, was also very helpful. Also, a shout out to Laila Raza for helping arrange the show for me. Thanks, Laila!!

And here is a link on Soundcloud:




Although this set was at a club, and it seemed to be be a slightly more mainstream venue than Treehouse, I played a set that was a mix of house, tech-house, and techno, but definitely on the harder side. The tempo was a bit slow, at 126bpm throughout. The set, which was about an hour and a half long, was recorded on a Zoom H1 portable audio recorder, on a line coming out of the mixer, so the EQ'ing was captured.


Anyway, here are the track listing from my set:

01. Alvaro R, "Tribe79" (Original Mix).
02. Saeed Younan & Filthy Rich, "Shamanic Voices" (Paco Maroto Remix).
03. Roger Shah, Sian, Kosheen, "Hide U" (Jerome Robins Vocal Mix).
04. Marco Vistosi, "Hierbas Whirl" (Original Mix).
05. Pere F & Joan Roca, "American Speech" (DJahir Miranda & TecHouzer Remix).
06. Bolivia, "Global Underground" (DJ Nard Instrumental).
07. Do Santos, "What We Want" (Original Mix).
08. Ricky Castelli, "Flash" (Original Mix).
09. Ti & Ti, "Cala Conta" (Original Mix).
10. Luca M & Just2, "Orion" (Original Mix).
11. Shiloh, "Pathogen" (Patrick Carrera & Enrico Sangiuliano Remix).
12. Konstantin Yoodza, "Turbulence" (Original Mix).
13. Antonio Jimenez & Pepo WB, "Bald" (Original Mix).
14. Leonardo Gonnelli, "Kima Law" (Original Club Mix).
15. Simon Doty, "A Certain Kind Of Something" (Original Club Mix).
16. Umek, "100 Percent Sure" (Original Mix).
17. DJ Wady, "Power Man" (Original Mix).
18. Souljackerz & Rude Vinyl, "Forbidden Love" (Funky Truckerz Remix).
19. Filterheadz, "Atlantic" (Original Mix).
20. Jonathan Maltaya, "Omega" (Original Mix).
21. Luca Cassani, "Gluttony" (Original Mix).
22. Phunk Investigation, "Let The Bass Kick" (Original Club Mix).



Here's the best part! If you'd like to listen to this set in high quality audio AND have something interesting on the screen, I used this set as the backing audio for a compilation of all of my best footage from my Africa trip. So I have ninety minutes of video footage, from Kenya & Tanzania, as a YouTube video, with this set as the backing audio. Of course, I didn't have a high-end professional camera, or even a tripod, so it isn't a pro video. But I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. But you can judge for yourself:

DJ Bolivia - Live at Treehouse (Nairobi), 2013-11-17

This is the second of three shows that I recorded while I was travelling in Africa last month. This was recorded during a set at a club called "Treehouse" in Nairobi.

Treehouse was a great club. Very music friendly to all styles of music, not just underground/EDM. They also do live shows of bands and solo artists occasionally. They also had good prices on drinks. It's definitely worth checking out if you ever visit Nairobi.

And here is a link on Soundcloud:




This set, being played at a club, had more house influences than my set from Giraffe Manor. You'll find that this set (an hour long) was mostly house and tech-house tracks. Although I was playing at a fairly slow tempo, down around 125/126bpm, quite a few of these tracks had "busy" rhythm sections, so it sounds more energetic than you'd expect from music at that tempo.


Anyway, here are the track listing from my set:

01. Cole Jonson, "Dangerous" (Original Mix).
02. Carlo Cavalli & Eros Locatelli, "Mexico" (Massimo Russo Remix).
03. Sammy Gonzalez, "Deixa" (Alex Z Remix).
04. Magitman, "What Was That" (Original Mix).
05. Mr Guelo, "Bounce Step" (Original Mix).
06. Jaceo, "Boink" (Original Mix).
07. Kadoc, "The Night Train" (Amo & Navas Rework).
08. Adrian Oblanca, "El Cazador" (Original Mix).
09. Phunk Investigation, "Let The Bass Kick" (Original Club Mix).
10. Blacksoul, "Be Right" (Crazibiza Remix).
11. Radi & Keith feat Corey Andrew, "Roc King Trip" (Tech Mix).
12. Uto Karem, "Taking Me" (Original Mix).
13. Umek & Tomy DeClerque, "Original Challenge" (Original Mix).
14. Filterheadz, "The Right Place" (Original Mix).
15. Parov Stelar, "All Night" (Umek Remix).
16. Umek & Groovebox, "Cause And Effect" (Original Club Mix).
17. Phunk Investigation & Hitchcock, "Vroom" (Original Mix).

I'll be posting a link here shortly to some video footage from my trip, overlaid on top of the audio recording of another set that I did in Africa, at Club Maasai in Arusha, Tanzania.

Also, if you want to see some photos from my trip to Kenya, here are links. These two galleries have the same photos. The first one (on facebook) is the smart choice if you're on a cell phone, because those photos are smaller. But if you have a good laptop and a fast connection, the photos on my own server are at a higher resolution (3600x2400):

DJ Bolivia - Live at Giraffe Manor (Nairobi), 2013-11-24

I just got back from a month in Africa. I played three separate shows there. Two of them were public shows at clubs in Nairobi (Kenya) and Arusha (Tanzania), and the third was a private event at a place called Giraffe Manor in Nairobi. This is the set from Giraffe Manor.




Giraffe Manor was really pretty awesome. I spent a bit of my time in Africa with a group of friends on what was called the Junglist Tour. This particular group of friends is pretty awesome. Most of them are ninja hackers & IT people, so they have associations with pretty much every company and thing that is internet. Anyway, Giraffe Manor is a pretty high-class lodge in Nairobi, and the group spent ten grand to rent it for the night.

And here is the link on Soundcloud:

The other couple of sets that I played in Africa were more house-oriented EDM. However, because of the dynamic of the crowd at Giraffe Manor, and their receptiveness to music with more of a deep tech emphasis, I tried to make this set less house-oriented than the other sets. So this set is basically all tech-house or techno, at 125 bpm (slower than I usually play). Well, I guess there are maybe a few house influenced tracks near the end. Also, since the sound equipment at the venue was limited, I did my mixing within Ableton rather than on a professional DJ mixer. The advantage is an especially clean recording, but the disadvantage is that there aren't any fancy EQ'ing and effects, and the mixing is pretty smooth and conservative.


Anyway, here's the track listing from my set:

01. DJ PP & Gabriel Rocha, "Old Class" (Jerome Robins vs DekoZe Jungle Funk Mix).
02. Andrea Roma & Yeso, "Rexin" (Original Mix).
03. Spartaque, "Phantom" (Original Mix).
04. Umek & Beltek, "Out Of Play" (Original Club Mix).
05. Matt Ether, "Insomia" (Original Mix).
06. Made & Marty, "Long Way" (Original Mix).
07. Ti & Ti, "Cala Conta" (Original Mix).
08. Spark Taberner, "Embush" (Original Mix).
09. Aaron Mills, "Andromeda" (Original Mix).
10. Filterheadz, "Atlantic" (Original Mix).
11. Toris Badic, "Click Boom Bang" (Original Mix).
12. Marco Bergman & Pim Van Der Wal, "This Love" (Kevin Le Rouge Remix).
13. Galant, "Black Mamba" (Original Mix).
14. Umek & Spektre, "Klaxon" (Original Mix).
15. Jay Lumen, "Get Ready" (Original Mix).
16. Fedde Le Grand, "Metrum" (Manuel De La Mare Remix).
17. Shiloh, "Pathogen" (Patrick Carrera & Enrico Sangiuliano Remix).
18. Hollen, "Jobless" (Original Club Mix).
19. Marco Bailey, "Horny Tiger" (Filterheadz Remix).
20. Jay Lumen, "Get Ready" (Original Mix).
21. Danny Garlick, "Exit 21" (Original Mix).
22. Umek & Beltek, "Out Of Play" (Original Club Mix).

Edit, December 20th, 2013: I have NO idea why I played that Jay Lumen track twice. I just noticed that now when I was listening to the set again, and I don't remember doing that when I played. #djfail
