Moonphases #52 w/ Clipper

Moonphases in February is comprised of two sets showcasing different styles illustrative to their eras. Clipper has prepared a unique selection of music that was used by the Bulgarian national TV and radio (the only TV and radio stations at that time) during the communist times in the 70’s and 80’s and on the reverse we have sirens, wild piano riffs, super pitched vocals, multiple mentions of ecstasy/love, (I skipped on the whistles) which all point to a RAVE.

The first Moonphases in 2012 is influenced by my recent move to Berlin and represents the town’s techno scene refracted through the prism of my perception of the city.
