❝This set is my attempt to capture autumn as I’m feeling it right now — melancholic, liminal, bright and warm all at once. Autumn has always reminded me of Silent Hill somehow — that strange beauty of being somewhere between comfort and unease, while everything slowly shifts into something else. I also tried to weave DQ’s psychedelic identity into that atmosphere, letting the two worlds blur into each other❞

It’s been exactly one month since I came back from what still feels like Wonderland.

I still catch myself thinking about those three days more often than I’d expected.

To everyone I met at @0rmbolet , thank you. Some of you became friends, some of you I only shared a few conversations or a dancefloor with, but every one of you became part of this journey.

We all know what happened during those days. The rain, the mountains, the mud, the laughter, the moments that tested us, and somehow brought us even closer together. I don’t think I’ll ever forget them.

This mix is my way of processing all of it.

Rather than telling the story with words, I wanted to tell it with music. Every section reflects how those days felt to me emotionally, from the excitement of arriving, through the uncertainty, the dark/swampy moments, and finally the quiet acceptance that made everything feel worthwhile. It’s less of a DJ mix and more of a musical journal.

And… we all know what happened at the very end.

I don’t think I could’ve imagined a more beautiful way to say goodbye. I tried to capture that feeling as honestly as I could.

Thank you for being part of one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.

I hope this mix takes some of you back there, even if it’s just for three hours.

See you somewhere down the road. ❤️
Thanks to @ute.rec @ratb_osl for this unforgettable memory

What a weekend. Started with pouring rain, ended with lovely sunset 🌅 it was one of the most beautiful sunset ive ever witnessed in me life. @0rmbolet was my first festival and im so glad i was there :) It wasnt just about music, it was the atmosphere, community and people what made this festival unforgettably special. It was me first camping ever as well it feels like yesterday that i was searching reddit what to buy, cant believe its already over and now im back to home. This journey felt like Trance itself , i felt i started from bottom and reached to the highest top emotionally. Thanks to the @0rmbolet team who organized this festival, that also goes to @ratb_systems_osl what a wonderful system very powerful and wide hearing range and last but most important, all the people who came to this festival and let this happen, if it werent youse i dont know how i would have survived this weekend. Thanks a million you all and hopefully see you again soon 🙏 taken in Bergsjøstølen fjellstue by @kaydthedj

Back to Trance is about returning to a feeling.

Not a rush from one banger to the next, but a story unfolding over time. A journey where tempo slows down when it needs to, where euphoric, trancy moments appear naturally, and where the music leaves space for you to get lost in your own thoughts.

This set moves between 90s progressive trance roots and psy, hypnotic and ambient sounds, forming a bridge between past and present. Old instincts meeting contemporary textures. Familiar emotions resurfacing in a new shape.

It’s music for listening as much as for dancing.
For driving through the night.
For moments where the outside world fades and memories quietly drift in.

Nothing is forced here. No pressure to peak.
Just progression, atmosphere, and connection.

“Back to Trance” doesn’t mean going backwards.
It means finding that inner place again, and letting the music guide you through your own experiences.

Whether that memory is old or new. Lets go back to Trance. list of tunes. intro - kayd bootleg rmx. 2. @___translate @srierecords & @gearmaster___ 3. @terraFerma & jaïa 4. @fugal_ @secondnatureseattle & @_polygonia_ 5. @djdanjo & @moogwai 6. @highbloo & @gastonfiore 7. @atomtm_official & @simonberry thanks to all the artists who created puzzle pieces for this set #progressivetrance #progressive #progressivehouse #ambienttrance #hypnotictechno taken in Panda Garden by @kaydthedj

Closed the chill room at @obscithea last Friday.
Slow ambient and low-key trance, played late, when the room was ready to go quiet.

No peaks, no rush. Just long tones, soft movement, and time stretching a little.
Some people stayed, some drifted off. That was the point.

After hours matter 🌀☁️🍃

SQM05｜Kay D

Originally from Korea and based in Berlin, Kay D embodies the spirit of the electronic music aesthetician and researcher. His sonic explorations eventually led him to Switzerland… and, through countless messages, blossomed into a deep-rooted friendship with our team; a connection that began digitally has now materialized into real-world action and collaboration. We quickly understood that beyond the music, a shared philosophical outlook and a deep mental connection truly bonded us.

Today, Kay D shares a truly fabulous set, featuring a blend of hypnotic grooves and pure elements of Trance. This set is powerfully inspired by his recent trip across some legendary beaches of the Kingdom of Siam, where people from all walks of life have gathered for decades. Expect a journey that is high-energy and moving, featuring flawless mixing and sophisticated selection, and remaining contemporary yet profoundly timeless. Maybe it evokes a deep sense of nostalgia for a simpler, brighter era… a feeling that resonates within our hearts and in our very genes, echoing a vibrant spirit from the turn of the century. We sincerely hope that, much like us, this voyage will inspire you to stay up so late that it becomes a little too early, just in time for the light.

Thank you, Kay D, for your support since the very beginning of this adventure.
