Joe Morris l Shades of Sound Vol. 16

🌞 💓 🌞 💓 Hello my dear friends 🌞 💓 🌞 💓

A very special episode this week is coming from Leeds based DJ and producer Nick J. Smith and is dedicated to the original sunset maestro and true Ibiza Legend - José Padilla. José's sunset sets at the Café Del Mar served as the basis for the wildly popular mix series of the same name, while his marathon ten-hour sets, spanning funk, soul, jazz, disco, and rock, were key in the invention of Balearic beat. His music touched the lives of a million souls and will stay with us forever. Thank you Jose Padilla for all those beautiful moments of love!

Hailing from Leeds in the UK, Nick J. Smith has spent the last 20 years immersed in the city’s underground scene. DJing and hosting parties across the city, playing nights, festivals up and down the country.
Consequently playing to dance floors in Europe, such as Renate in Berlin, Powerhouse in Moscow, Stalingrad in Paris, and Electric Elephant in Croatia. Nick has always consciously embraced the musical cooking pot and its many influences, never pigeonholing himself to one style of music. Maintaining this as an ethos for when playing to a dance floor, Nick never sticks to one musical genre for too long, preferring to mix things up whenever possible. This thirst for consuming many musical influences, can be also seen in Nick’s productions and label releases via, Is It Balearic?, Red Laser Records, Spirit Soul Music, Mora Music, Nu Northern Soul, and most recently on Clandestino’s Label with his ‘You Make Me Feel’ EP. In which he explores his love for Italian Dream House of the late eighties and early nineties.

As part of Clandestino, Nick has also seen worthy attention through the Clan’s music productions, record label, podcast, and radio show hosted on KMAH Leeds. Holding regular parties in Leeds, including their ALFOS night, which has now become an essential part of the Leeds clubbing calendar.
Nick also has an ongoing monthly DJ mix series named ‘Chance to Dance’ which is gathering pace and attention. Delving into the depths of his musical love affair. Showcasing his passion and talent for creating a musical journey.

"I recorded this mix in reflection to the sad passing of Jose Padilla, who I have forever admired as a DJ. He would take me away from reality with his immaculate track selection and storytelling, whether that be listening to his sets, mixtapes, or early Cafe Del Mar Volumes. If I could even just scratch the surface of Jose’s musical storytelling with this mix and my love for Balearica Musica, then I will be eternally grateful". - Nick J. Smith
