Dacha's Live Sets
On this page you’ll find my DJ sets, recorded live at some of my favorite clubs and venues. I was a resident DJ for many years, spinning four nights a week at the legendary Club Contrast, and I also held a resident night at Paradiso discotheque in Novi Sad. Lounge Café was the last venue where I performed weekly before moving to New York City. Each set offers a distinct vibe, and I encourage you to listen and download. The music is 99% house, with strong influences from Jazz, Nu-Jazz, Soul, Funk, and Afro-Latin rhythms and other elements.
My first NYC gig was at Bona Fide Café on the Lower East Side. I had a blast mixing the latest tracks with some classic hits, and I recorded the set for download: Pig & Dan, Anane & Mr. V, Jay-J, Halo, Latrice Barnett, Jafrosax feat. Vikter Duplaix, RSL, Deep House Soldiers, Breakpoint feat. Jon Banfield, Nick Holder, Les Macons De La Musique...
This was my last live DJ mix, mixed and recorded in Novi Sad at Lounge Cafe before I left for good. I aimed to play the best tracks we’ve enjoyed over the past few years, hoping it would be the night of a lifetime. I was bittersweet, fondness for leaving behind my best friends and family, yet excitement for a new life in New York City. I hope you find it worth downloading and that you enjoy it as much as we did. WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, LOUNGE CAFE (R.I.P.).
Before moving to New York, I wanted to spin one last time in my childhood city of Smederevo. The highlight was playing near my old high school at Club Mashinac, a full-circle moment, and I was ready to roll. It was an amazing night; I stuck to the hits and the crowd was great. I’m pretty sure they hadn’t heard about 95% of the tracks I played, but they vibed with it anyway. The set included: Sumo, Racoon, Cerrone, Juke Joint, Inaya Day, Dee-Lite, Crico Castelli, Jamie Lewis, Knee Deep, Miguel Migs, Johnny Fiasco, Bibi...
As I planned my trip from NewNow (Novi Sad) to New York, I peeled in with darker, harder house tunes while still weaving in my signature deep, latin vibes, plus sharp disco and funky house. Through the night, the crowd got hit with a mix of new faces and familiar favorites. Check it out: Osunlade, Anane, Mr. V, Louie Gorbea, The Rurals, Inner Soul, Davidson Ospina, Towa Tei, Polyphonics, Chuck Love, Shik Stylko, Rhythm Slaves, Reel People, Aroma Allstars...
I mixed a night of blasts from the past with some fresh tunes, including a nod to Dee Lite’s Groove Is in the Heart. All together, it’s a solid DJ blend. Check out who’s on it: Racoon feat. Christine Lucas, Blakkat, Amma, Fish Go Deep, Boo Williams, Demarkus Lewis, Andy Caldwell, Jay-J, Basha, Racoon, Miguel Migs, Audiowhores, Essa, Midas, DJ Jorj, Bare Brass, Copyright, One 51, Bariо Bross, Vincenzo...
