Jan Blomqvist celebrates day of the dead in Mexico and talks us through a frighteningly good selection of music
BERLIN based DJ and producer Jan Blomqvist has often been credited for bringing techno into a concert realm with his own band BLOMQVIST.
He is as used to touring with his band as he is to flying solo as an in demand DJ.
As a producer he’s released music on some of the best and coolest labels around including Stil vor Talent and Highgrade Records.
Tonight you will find him in Mexico playing at SET Underground’s Tierra De Los Muertos, one of the most Halloween of festivals in the world, taking place around Mexico’s famous day of the dead festival this weekend alongside the likes of Adam Ten, Damon Jee, Denis Horvat, Dramian, Frankey and Sandrino, Gab Rhome, Glowal, Kawas and more.
Jan put a playlist together for us ahead of the weekend. Listen and read what he had to say about the music below.
Jan Blomqvist – Canopée der Cimes
The track name is the name of the stunning video shoot location. I did this one for Cercle Stories, Chapter 2.
Röyksopp – Impossible (&ME Remix)
One of the best remixes in 2022.
Jan Blomqvist – Deeper Grounds
I often think that my latest release is the most special. But this time, it might be more true than ever before.
Andhim – Nice To Meet You
Put on your dancing shoes. – but the cozy ones.
Jan Blomqvist, Bloom Twins – High on Beat
Collaboration with the great Bloom Twins.
Rüfüs Du Sol – Alive (Solomun Remix)
Rüfüs Du Sol remixed by Solomun – this can’t go wrong.
Nathan Fake – The Sky was Pink (Holden Remix)
I can’t believe this track is almost 20 Years old. All time favourite.
Jan Blomqvist, Oliver Schories – Packard
What if the world would stand still for one year?
Stephan Bodzin – Boavista
One of my biggest heroes for more than a decade.
French 79 – Diamond Veins (feat. Sarah Rebecca)
Downtempo at the end, enjoy.
