A special holiday present for my podcast subscribers is here - my new 2-hours mixset recorded for Dzence Music (local Russian initiative, radioshow and podcast of the same name). As usual, a musical trip from smooth chilled vibes (including good oldies from J.Axel, Shazz, Blue Six, Late Night Alumni) to uplifting hits from Mark Picchiotti, Bobby D’Ambrosio, DJ Meme. This mix will not be aired in Summer Fondue Sessions. Enjoy! read more »

The mix is entitled “Shine On: a mini trip to three decades of joy“, dedicated to my beautiful wife (as a present for her guests) and features wonderful disco cuts from 1975-2008 covering the whole 30 years of… well, our life time. read more »
