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.
Some music suits the night, some the day, and some fits every moment. I mixed this one for the day after clubbing, you’ll have to listen to see if it’s your vibe. Shoutouts to the artists I included: Dubtribe Sound System, Jay-J, Lisa Shaw, Soul Music, Karizma, Inner Soul, Halo feat. Atwater, Advantage Player, Funky Green Dogs, Franck Roger, Kiki Navaro, Johnny Fiasco, Miguel Migs, Modern Quartet, Aroma Allstars...
We had our cocktails ready and the beers cold every night. My aim was to drop some solid old rhythms for a chilly February evening, and I delivered, new cuts and old goodies, kicking off the night with a French track and letting the history unfold. Check out: Juan Hoerni & Phil Sheeran, Kevin Yost, Maxine Inniss, Chuck Love, Paulo Rocha, Shaheer Williams, Rawsoul Orchestra, Mojo Project, Brown and Steve Littlemen, Groove Junkies...
Again, a mix of hot new tunes and a few cherished old gems. This set kept Lounge Cafe vibing, perfect for hanging out and getting funked up that night. These live mixes capture a string of memorable evenings that you can replay at home. Download and enjoy: East & Louie Lou Gorbea, Lisa Shaw, Justin Michael, Jackie Wilson, Mojo Project, Interns feat. Snowboy, Johnny Fiasco, Hipp-e, Kraak & Smaak, Fresh & Low, Grant Nelson, Chuck Love, Kevin Yost...
Song by Belizbeha - Inhibitions somehow captures Lounge Cafe and Novi Sad through my eyes. When I spin this track, it feels like a fast-forward through my life, ten years in thirty seconds, all the ups, downs, and unbelievable parties we’ve shared. I’ve played it many times, on both low days and high, and it always hits. I’m leaving this city and this country to keep moving forward and to keep spreading the word about deep house. Say hello to: Amnaye, Dennis Ferer, Maxine Inniss, Mr Ali, David Banks, Jacky Jayet, Kraak & Smaak, Chuck Love, Koffe Brown, Demarkus Lewis...
We kicked off 2006 with a blend of old and new grooves, keeping the crowd in the zone as we celebrated life in our Lounge Cafe in Novi Sad.

Featuring a lineup of standout artists: Franck Roger, Anderson Soares Project, Funky Green Dogs, Miguel Migs, Justin Michael, Jackie Wilson, Afro Medusa, Hardsoul, Jafrosax, Juke Joint, Soul Khula, Shik Stylko, Fanatix...
