Behind the mix:
I haven't published this video previously...
At that time I felt like the quality of the mix wasn't good enough. I filmed this mix right after I got fired from the tech job at a big company. I never thought something like that would happen to me.
It hit me hard, I was shocked, confused... but most of all - I was relived.
I used to love design when I was starting out in my previous career. Years back, when startups were becoming the 'next big thing'. I was greatly inspired by the progress that was happening in the tech industry. However, after a few years, design stopped bringing me the satisfaction I used to get from it, and I felt like I was burning out day after day...
I wasn't brave enough to believe I could change careers so drastically. I got stuck at the job I was starting to hate. I was trapped in video meetings and slow-paced developments, my body started saying: 'f u... I don't want to play this character anymore' and I was sliding into the downward spiral of depression.
I wasn't brave enough to take the leap of faith. The claws of the imposter syndrome had me hard, and I still struggle with openly posting my content sometimes. I hear the imperfections, I know my level... But with every step I take, I break through my own limitations, my own fears and this is how I'm able to grow.
But most importantly, everything I share comes from my heart.
I truly believe in the healing power of music.
So... may it heal your soul as it heals mine. ❤️

This was the second DJing video I recorded, but have not published until now (I explain as to why in the description).
There are quite a few rough transitions, but I liked the vibe of the video as it sincerely transmits what I was going through at that time.
As this mix is starting with DJ Boring ‘Winona’ track and a sample from an interview with Winona Ryder sharing a story about a harsh critique she received as a teenager, I wanted to dedicate this mix to everyone who’s been through the hell of being bullied, the pain of rejection and self-doubt.

Have a great day! ❤
They sure did make my day!
It's brave to share when you are vulnerable and going through hard times. Bless up everyone out there 🙏🏻❤
Ohhhh thats so weird Arwen's as I could see that you don't look you normal self in this session , I really hope it wasn't nothing serious but obviously you got over what ever problems you was going through …but I guess the music probably helped you deal with it. keep smiling and and dont let anything get you down as you have very good people on here supporting you 💯%✌😘
Discovered, liked, saved and subscribed.
What u wrote hit a cord deep within my core, going thru the motions as an 'imposter' and diving deep into mixing deep house cuts to heal my soul.
Oh and I had totally forgotten about DJ Boring's "Winona".... thank u for remind me of it. Fitting choice for and intro track 😌
Thank you, guys, hugely appreciated ❤️🙏
Hi Arwen! As I sit here clueless and jobless in this fast paced tech world, your story and your music calms me, thankyou!
1:02:00 - I love the little sample of Pricess Di talking... As ever, Arwen's putting a level of thought, meaning, and a touch of class to things.
yeah that DJ Borinig opening track is SOOOOOO good. next level.
Yep - another sublime collection. This is where CZcams lacks a 'Love' button. 'Like' just doesn't do this this justice. Fantastic mixing too - thank you, thank you, thank you 😊
Finally someone using Paradis in a house setlist. Albeit having a short career, they produced excellent music.
Музыка способна объединять сердца, особенно когда это сделано с любовью!
Так держать 😘

Your mixes are out of this world...your SADE mix is one of my personal faves!
I agree!
Lovely as always. Keep up the fantastic work and great Vids.!
Thank you so much for sharing your personal emotions and thoughts in video description...that's life is, at the time things are happening to us, we're most not able to see the beauty of the next chapter in life ... fears, depression and so on...but at the end: all makes sense...maybe you're now happy to get one of the best djanes ... your channel is growing, people are loving you (because you open'd you're heart to yourself, thats the cause of your new reality) and i'm sure: the way you are and bring emotions to music will change life of a lot of people in world...people need to brought back to their hearts!
Thank you for sharing your situation in video description...honestly thanks.
"... shocked, confused, ....relived..." OMG, I know exactly how you felt. I was in that exact situation and decided that very day, never again would I rely on company that was not my own. 16 years later, I'm still my own boss. :) Cheers to you.
What a glorious unadorned sophisticated women she is.....moves like a dream.....ethereal....effortlessly graceful
You are not alone ! You give me your energies through your mixes in return I give you my hands and feet grounded in support like a pillar.
You are amazing one of a kind ❤️! The malarkey nonsense is not for you!!
Saw this pop up on my feed and it made my day! Truly enjoy these mixes...As far as your comments, it takes a lot to put yourself out there, so kudos to you there. We all start from somewhere, so I could care less if the mix is less than perfect. You enjoy doing it, so keep doing it, and forget the haters!
Thank you so, so much! 🙏

Saaaaaame!!!
How can you hate this mix? And the gorgeous DJ who came up with it? It's beyond my comprehension!
We can all live with imperfections, there is a great deal of perfection in being less than perfect... the music is the true perfection...
🙏❤️
Totally concur
Лена , на 55 минуте вообще крутяк , супер сэт , у тебя сэтов мало , но они все качественные , молодец - ты лучшая , подача у тебя супер , ты сводишь круто и плэйлист у тебя супер , ну и красотка ты не обыкновенная , завораживающе танцуешь - девушка - грация))) ... очень жду твоих сэтов ,спасибо тебе за это .....реально всё время когда смотрю твои сэты , любуюсь тобой , очень поднимаешь настроение ) очень приятная , талантливая и красивая девушка , без надутых губ и с отличным музыкальным вкусом ....я думаю каждый тебе бы миллион лайков поставил- жалко что нельзя)
Kolejny set kojący moją duszę, Doskonale dobrane utwory. Zero zbędnych ruchów przy konsoli. pełen profesjonalizm. Proszę o więcej.... Emerytowany dj. z Poski.
Cuando la belleza, el sonido, el ritmo, y el movimiento se convierten en seducción...
I'm really glad CZcams is recommending these DJs with smaller audiences to me. I hope you get more exposure in the future:)
Thanks a lot! ☺️
Same
This mix was so good!
За Paradis - Recto Verso - 5 баллов! И отдельное Спасибо 😘
Your description of this mix made me cry. I'm so glad you chose to post it!
Aw, honey 🥹❤️
You look so sad in this set, Ms Lena. I am sorry to hear of your struggles. That said, I am glad that you have not given up, and despite your imposter misgivings, are still braving on! God bless!
_jamesjamesjames - Omokage (w/ snctm)_ - *WHAT. A. TUNE!!!*
The inclusion of a stunningly beautiful sampling of _"Love Theme from Spartacus" is GENIUS!_
I listen to this DJ set on You TubeMusic while I was working at home and really enjoyed it. Thats the real test to prove how good you are ... pure audio pleasure 👌🏾
И снова - ЗДРАВСТВУЙТЕ! Спасибо Вам за время, что Вы дарите нам всем и мне лично! Поздравляю Вас с Новой победой - с Новым МИКСОМ! Так держать! Музыка сама по себе уникальна и интересна - впрочем, как и Вы сами! Шикарно всё в Вас! Респект!
Спасибо большое! 🙏❤️

Lena thank you for sharing your feelings about yourself I also have a dark side of me and i can tell you sometimes is difficult to fight with your inner demon ...but I believe in music like you thank for that ❤
♥
Wow is all I can say..this morning when I awaken your channel just appeared magically! I am awed by your music selections, and wish you all the best …anyone who has been alone in the darkness at 4:00 am with no hope knows what this is all about…pick yourself up and go forward one step at a time. All the best, and keep the love n peace ❤
It's a crisp autumn morning. The grass is wet. The sky is gray in parts. The leaves are red and orange and gold and your thoughtful, thematic tracks are with me as I start my day on the treadmill
Such a beautiful picture ☺️ thank you! 🙏 Hope, you had a great day!
Even though that happened, you look very happy and content in this video, almost like you're glad it went that way.
It was meant to happen, keep looking forward.
I love your mixes and enjoy the positive vibes you give off with each sesh!
Fear really can be a show stopper of doing something you love out of thinking it is not good enough or what others will think of it. You are doing this for yourself and if You enjoy it, if You like it, other will too. Everything else can be adjusted along the away. Your sets have been the best ones to listening while working 😊 Keep smashing those tunes in the unique way that you do.
🙏❤
Music is a powerful force, almost on the level of love. Put 'em together and we can do ANYTHING!
Thanks for sharing your story (description). I guess everybody has his/her own story, but most important is that you are aware of it knowing you CAN make changes in your life. It does not affect who you are, but it will have effect on how you feel. Great to have you making more music now and sharing this to the public. It's awesome, I love it ! Keep on going ! Enjoy the ride and let it flow.
Essa pick é muito diferenciada...
Deep house has always been my favorite sub genre cause it hits deep in every way.
This mix helped me emotionally reconnect with myself.
Thank you for sharing this loving energy. The greatest joy is the one you have been sharing with the world.
🙏❤️
Still listening to this glorious set and I will probably listen to it again and again too - just wonderful - thank you 🙂
Lovely mix ❤. Glad you've published this one. Brightened my morning ( now working in a stressful tech job, thinking of 30 years ago when I was DJing in the UK )
Слушать твою музыку и смотреть на тебя одно удовольствие!
🥰

You are the apple in my eye, you are music to my ears... 😊
I'm not in need of healing, but this sends you to another place. Wonderful mix.
Bon jour Madame Arwen....!🤩🦍🐺🦊🦝🐱🐈🦁🐯🐮🐇🐰🦘🦃🐓🐊🐲🦖🐋🐜🐝🦂🦂🌲🧀🍕🍟🦞🦐🍮🍷🏎🚀🛰🚁🕓☢☣
Mixar com o crossfader a fechar um canal todo o set nunca vi. Respect...
There are three states for the horizontal fader on Pioneer DJ decks, you can turn it off and only work with the two vertical ones.
Thanks for the beautiful tones full of depth. Greetings from the Czech Republic ... ahoj 🍀
Never stop doing what makes you happy. I have been in tech for 20 years and I get it. Moving on, its scary as F....but hey the most growth is outside the comfort zone.
I love the mixes, cant wait to see what you do with things, and how you progress as a musician/Artist.
I wanna see you in my town, Arwen..
I hear you about going into work to a job you hate. I made a change 3 months ago and haven’t looked back! I enjoy your mix and I play it at work. Keep it up!
Oh my, reminds me of chilling after a hard night boinging around a dance floor in the early 2000's.
I'm loving your mixes and the energy you give them. You're making me dance in my chair, almost wishing that I had been forced into a career change as you were....long ago. Though you doubted this particular mix at the time, it is great. You are an inspiration :)
I'm so grateful you got out when you did! I'm very grateful this was your other dream and puts you in front of us also! I am also in IT and have been stuck in the grind for a few decades now, but find that contracting helps as you get to change your daily focus at least. It's also too late for me, my body has said FU at the top of its voice in the form of advanced MS or PPMS, so easy life is over, so I cling with my own claws to music and its healing nature! I can feel your healing powers in your music and want to say Thank You Very Much! Please don't stop..ever!
Nice tracks ! Been listening to some of these tracks for a while .Love them .
A wonderful set. Warm positive music, without squealing annoying bursts. Comfortable sound temperature is what you need to recover for future jumps and takeoffs. And they certainly will. Thanks.
Lena, you succeed to make me enjoy all your mix, every move you make, every breath you take... so I would call this mix Gorgeous Enough. ;-)
To twój najlepszy set, szczególnie ostatnie 20 minut :)
That smooth dance... Dang! And that music. I'm hooked.
You are my Mary Poppins... Perfect in Every Way
You have kept the Faith, embraced the healing in Music; keep them coming!
I believe in the healing power of music! & expand your mind :)
As I'm watching this video I began to think "wow, this video is comparatively somber to the other videos, like she's contemplative, maybe even a bit down"... after reading your intro, which is very well spoken, the context now makes sense to me. Many people, including myself, have/had the same feelings you were going through. Push through those barriers, and keep growing as a person in the direction that feels the most natural. We'll all get there as long as we don't give up.
Quite hard to see you thinking and suffering but nice to know you learned and grew based on this. Thank you for sharing these moments! Overall very cool and melodic sound again! My favorite is "for Tahn".
Thank you very much ❤️🙏
@@ArwensFaith ❤️
Musical detoxification for the soul is what we all need and you've just provided it again, plus some cheeky shapes around the 37 min mark?? 😉
You truly embrace and embody the music you're playing. The female energy and vibe you send off, feels like I'm watching more to a kind of play than just a dj set. Not to sound corny, but you got me enchanted in a good way. You're destined to play this music and spread the vibe :) all the love!
Thank you so much 🥹❤️🙏
This made my chaotic workday actually bearable. I thank u very much. Be proud of what u create. Its always hard (for me at least) to receive comments about something u spend so much time and effort on to create. I try not to compare myself with the goats and try to get better at one thing at a time, this works for me. The basics are always important imho. I wish u the best.
Sweet, Arwen, a great selection of beats.
Perfekt Mix again...Thanks from Hungary
What surprised me the most was not the quality (or lack of, as you initially thought) of the set, but rather your text in the video description. Putting yourself out there, like this, with this level of vulnerability and openness around an issue that is so common around these days, affecting so many people... it's just amazing. I have to say that what drawed me into your videos was the quality of the sets, and only now am I seeing the history behind it all. My first impression was that you have been doing this forever, so... great job, great music, great vibe, and thank you for sharing your personal struggle, may you continue to overcome every obstacle that stands in your way. Same for all of you who are reading this. Peace.✌
. That's so true . Thank you 🤗
Eres tan solo INCREÍBLE, simplemente te veo BAILAR al ritmo de la música y DESPIERTAS todo el AMOR en un ser Humano hacia ti....!!! Eres una DIOSA....!!!!
Muchas gracias 🥹❤️
Great mix, whether intended or by accident, some heavy Danny Tenaglia influences...really digging it!
I thank you so much for your art in mixes I hear all the time, since I saw you the first time on CZcams.
I know what you mean. After so many years running my own business in IT industry, I hate what I’m doing. Hard to get out of it and I hardly try to prevent getting into that spiral of depression you mentioned. On the way to Egypt for some dives and sunshine listening to your vibes …
Stay safe!
Thank you! 🙏❤
Exelente! Cómo siempre, una gran DJ!!!
i listen to this set on repeat for many days. Great sound selection!
Beautiful you and your taste in music! Would love to just dance the night away with this vibe🙈
Awesome music with gorgeous DJ
Just delightful, thanks for the ride!!!
Лена, ты крутая ! Шикарная музыка. От души душевно в душу :)
I want to hear Saxyness in the wild. I want to hear it playing somewhere in the city or someone driving by. Imma be inspired!
Extra mix, perfec rhythm, sumptuous mélodie, peacefull atmosphere, pure happiness 👍
Que belleza de mujer! No paro de decirlo!!!
Gorgeous, loving the mix as well....
Thank you for sharing your journey! Life comes with hard obstacles but knows you have the strength within you that always rises to show you the path to inner peace. Your music shows this as well and you keep playing the sounds that make you who you are. Stay on your path and continue on your new journey wherever it may lead for new beginnings. Music is Life and you are inspirational to us all who listen. All the best on your next venture.
Inspiring message and uplifting beats. Made me get back to writing my thesis. Aitäh!
The first song alone was enough to get my attention. I love that song and the gradual buildup. Great mix, as always!
NICE 😀
Awesome relaxing set! Love your work
I am truly amazed by the mobile phone vibration st the beginning. I did thought something was moving on the table after noticing. Very coool vibes. Great weekend
Excelente... Tú y tu música!!!
One thing about you, dear, is you have soul. From one producer to another, I may also hear the imperfections in this particular set, but I can tell you've improved more and more in your other sets. You're very strong in spirit to continue to post your content despite the doubts you may have. The last thing I posted was 4 years ago, and that was because of the imposter syndrome I was fighting and ended up losing my love of producing music. Now, I'm slowly getting my love back and starting to familiarize myself with my DAWs again. Please continue to post these beautiful mixes. You're an inspiration to us. 😊
Wow! LOVE IT! 😍 Beautiful vibes from the music and of course from you 💓
Just beautiful 🥂👌🎶🔊
選曲もつなぎも最高です。リラックス♪
So, what do you do for a living now, are you fully focused on producing mixes and being a DJ? Love the vibe by the way.
Exelente vídeo que Deus sempre te ilumine e abençoe 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’m so inspired by the video description, thank you.
love giiirl. never forget. jamais oublié.
Great job, love your taste in music. Discovered so many INTL gems from your mixes! Keep spinning! 🏆
Well done... once again.
That Saxyness track by Never Dull is the icing on the cake! Well done!
Loving 🥰 the Vibes.....💪🏼👍🏽🙏🏽
Well done 🎉… and I was reading the description and it reflects my moment at my current job… it is not easy indeed. And I am planning to get my dj gear and make my sets so at leadt I can enjoy muself 🙌🏼😌
All the best for you, great work.
