Glaciers and Borealis mix (KEF > YYZ) – New Zero mix

Myself with the Drift Zero while DJing on Icelandic airplane

I recently was in Toronto for a unconference with Mozilla. During that whole week I spend a lot of time with the Drift Zero and created a lot of mixes. Some were really good, others less so.

A few stood out, which I needed to half redo because of a few mistakes with the volume and needing to stop the recording for reasons…

I have been listening to this mix over and over again recently and it seriously rocks with a number of classic Techtrance tunes mixed in with a bunch of new tunes I recently got my hands on.

So with that I present the Glaciers and Borealis mix (KEF/Iceland > YYZ/Canada).

Drift DJ alpha testing and mixing

I finally found sometime after working with the Drift Zero team, to install the latest alpha build. Things have been hectic for a while but one night I got some time to play.

It was great, although I didn’t really know all the buttons, so I was just working it out by pressing and playing. Its only today I seen the video explaining it all (although I should have spent more time on the discord group)

Drift DJ quick shot

Anyway with me feeling around, I was able to create a few mixes but found a problem where some of my tunes were cooked/garbled but I had no idea why. This is obviously the bug and should be fixed pretty soon.

Honestly the device is excellent and I’m looking forward to more time with it, especially now I know what the buttons should do and I can use the recorder. I have a flight to Berlin for Republica 2026 and a series of long trains to Amsterdam for PublicSpaces, so plenty of time to really play.

Being optimistic, I also entered a session into EMFCamp 2026 to potentially DJ live using the Zero or Pacemaker Device as a backup. Considered a DJ hackday at EMFCamp but decided maybe next time.
