Episode 2 - 'Remember Yesterday' by Ilan (Night City Life)

WORDS FROM ILAN
"Didn't Time Sound Sweet Yesterday" - Scott Walker

WORDS FROM CASPER
'Remember Yesterday' is a pensive, at times almost elegiac selection of home-listening beauties which have been carefully put together and mixed (with vinyl only) by a dab-hand selector who I've had the pleasure to know for quite some time. Ilan has become known more recently for his synth-driven 'Night City Life' compilations of forgotten and obscure gems, distributed via the Spacetalk label, but we first met on or around the dancefloor of his erstwhile Hypnotic Tango events in various London basements, which he ran alongside my close friend Olly Fas. He's quietly developed a reputation over the years as somebody that goes the extra mile to source weird and wonderful music of a generally upbeat nature, which is befitting of the weird and wonderful chap with a generally upbeat nature that Ilan undoubtedly is.

As with all of the forthcoming mixes in this series, please give it a chance and listen without prejudice. There's no tracklist this time around.

Prepare yourself for a dubby and cosmic ecclectic ride from Milano to Berlin! Following the steps of Milano-born Nicolas aka Nelson Of The East @nelsonoftheeast to his current residence we enjoy the sight in various tempi and moods - but always on point. Thanks a lot for this trip!!!

“I was on the road on tour in Europe when I recorded the mix, and I had a momentary respite doing some cat sitting for friends and thinking about how dependent we are on friends and networks. It feels like sitting underneath a big shaded tree on a sunny day :) tired from travel but energized by music and life!”

Tape 035 is here. A very good friend of our bar recorded a one-hour mix with tunes from very mixed genres. Based in Sanremo, Italy, James Falco (@jamesfalco) is a very active DJ and promoter who has already traveled the world DJ-ing. If you didn’t know, James is behind two beautiful boutique festivals from Sanremo, called Botanica and Piña, which you definitely need to visit.

Enjoy!
