Cena - Essential Sessions 048 [2026]

About this episode

This episode features a live mix that explores various electronic music styles, reflecting on the host's long relationship with the genre.

Essential Sessions documents my present moment. This session comes after a period of silence, made when it felt right to mix again. This is a continuation of a long relationship with electronic music — shaped over decades of listening, selecting, and moving dancefloors. The sound shifts naturally, from ambient into house, progressive and minimal, guided by feeling rather than trends. The mix was recorded live with an analog setup, focused on flow, tension, and restraint. This session sits alongside the current chapter: Mostly Vinyl event series, ongoing work around music tech, and the general idea that less, when chosen carefully, can say more. Enjoy this journey!
