Dedicated to our brother who has left this world for another. 

A man of unparalleled imagination, of adventure and the cosmos. The high ranking officer of the seas, the forward captain of the eternal Yacht Club, the commander of relaxation. 

Ocean spray, the taste of salt and the sun on the water is forever changed. It will serve as a constant reminder of a good man, of good vibes and of good times old and new. 

This is For The Commodore in all of us.

Another few months have gone by and it's time to take a relaxing good-vibey trip to VACATIONLAND where the beer is cheap and whiskey is served neat. Unless you prefer rocks, in which case, you only live twice and this is vacation-culture. Do whatever you want, amibro. Whether you're sitting by a toasty fire in a modest TGIF-style condo with old ski gear on the walls reading your favorite arts & culture mag/blog, serving vegan apps (plenty of EVOO) at a dinner party, or getting down with all your buds on a Friday night - you know that you're going to need some Ass Jazz. What is Ass Jazz exactly? It's music to your ears, it's the feeling of a sun-shower after a month-long drought, it's crop-dusting on the dance-floor. Shake that thing! Make it rain! 

Seriously though, the tracks in this mix are beyond solid. You're going to love it.

I don't usually do special mixtapes, but that one I couldn't resist. I'm glad to be part of that series which features the best of the LA disco scene, with guys like Oliver, Classixx, Gigamesh, Goldroom, Plastic Plates and Touch Sensitive. 
The first part is definitely disco, second half is a lot more clubby and house that usual. 

Hope you like it,

Hello girls & boys,

here's our new baby : "bedtime stories - sounds for a sweaty summer"... the idea behind this mix was to share some of the best tracks we've discovered in the past few months. as you can imagine, we weren't able to limit ourselves to new discoveries and ended up putting some old favorites into the stew.    
summer is always a very special moment for us as our music seems to be the product of warmth and sunshine. for those of you fortunate enough to head to the beach, we hope this will provide the perfect soundtrack for your barbecues, volley-ball games and poolside parties. for those of you who won't have the opportunity to take a vacation, let's hope this gives you a little bit of digital sunshine and puts a smile on your faces.

love,
Irfane & Thibaut
