This DJ set was recorded live at a wine gathering in Montreal, Quebec, on July 6, 2013, under my performance name, Karma of Dove.
It’s a mix of world music and indie beats that shifts between upbeat and chill, keeping the vibe mellow and reflective.
The set starts off smooth and dreamy, with tracks like Pleasant Dream and Solitude setting a calm tone. Then, it picks up energy with Latin beats and laid-back electronic tracks, mixing in different moods as it progresses.
You’ll get a blend of sensual rhythms, upbeat grooves, and chilled-out vibes. It’s music you can relax to but also makes you want to move. There are touches of jazz, bossa nova, and deep house that keep it interesting without ever getting too intense.
The set wraps up with darker, moodier songs like Milk and Angel, giving it a cool, late-night feel.
The video includes photos I took under my real name, Eduardo Vega Colón, during a phase of my life that inspired many of the stories I share in my novels and posts here on Substack. The images capture a sense of quiet, solitude, and stark beauty.
Take a listen and enjoy.
