DJ Sets Worth Watching Right Now

Alan More, Founder of Videojam · September 28, 2026 · Updated September 28, 2026 · 3 min read

Fifteen full DJ sets from the Videojam catalog: techno, afro house, tech-house, and open-air performances chosen to watch end to end, not sample.

If you searched for DJ sets and landed in a thumbnail grid of identical festival shots, you already know the problem. Most platforms treat a set as background audio. Videojam treats it as something you sit down and watch.

This is a starter shelf: fifteen full sets from the catalog, each with one reason to press play. Genre pages and the All-Time Best canons go deeper; this list is the on-ramp.

The picks

  1. Carl Cox, Boiler Room Ibiza Villa Takeovers. Peak-time villa techno that still teaches how a room looks when the mix is in control.
  2. Black Coffee, Mixmag Live London. Three hours of spiritual afro house from Village Underground, before the mainstage era swallowed the intimacy.
  3. Chris Lake, Mixmag The Lab LA. After-work tech-house from a downtown office, proof the format does not need a cliff to hit.
  4. Korolova, live from Sintra. Melodic open-air on a Portuguese hillside where the horizon does half the work.
  5. Ben Böhmer, Cercle in Cappadocia. Live electronic performance with fairy chimneys and balloons, closer to a concert than a club drop.
  6. Sama' Abdulhadi, Boiler Room Palestine. Techno from Ramallah that turned a local floor into a worldwide stream without losing the place.
  7. Keinemusik on Mayan Warrior, Burning Man 2022. &ME, Rampa, and Adam Port on an art car at dawn, afro-leaning and widescreen.
  8. Jamie Jones, Cercle at Pliva Waterfalls. Hot Creations groove filmed at a waterfall in Bosnia, scenic without going soft.
  9. Nina Kraviz, Cercle on the Eiffel Tower. Nearly two hours of techno at sunset on the tower itself.
  10. Shimza, Cercle at Citadelle de Sisteron. South African afro house inside a fourteenth-century French fortress.
  11. Solomun, Cercle at Château de Chambord. Sunday-residency patience staged in Renaissance gardens at dusk.
  12. Charlotte de Witte, Tomorrowland main stage closing 2025. Closing the biggest stage hours after opening it, peak festival techno on camera.
  13. Chris Stussy, Boiler Room Edinburgh. First Boiler Room of his career, warehouse tech-house with no tourist padding.
  14. Monolink, Cercle in the Maldives. Live act on a sandbar, half singer and half producer, built to watch end to end.
  15. Above & Beyond, Cercle in Guatapé. Trance-adjacent open-air from the Colombian lakeside that still earns the long sit.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I watch full DJ sets online?
Videojam curates complete sets rather than chopped clips. Start with the DJ Sets hub, then dig into Techno, Afro House, Tech-House, and the All-Time Best canon pages. Every entry here links to a full watch page on videojam.live.
What makes a DJ set worth watching, not just listening?
The room, the light, the faces, and the long arc of the mix. A four-minute export throws those away. The picks below keep the room in: Boiler Room floors, Cercle locations, festival closings, and open-air stages built to be seen.
Are these the same as the weekly DJ Sets chart?
No. The weekly chart is a verdict about one week. This list is a hand-picked starter shelf of sets that still reward sitting with, drawn from the catalog and the All-Time Best canons.
