From bone to flint to sharpened spears. From bronze to iron and onto steel. The bravery of metallurgy has set minds alight with ambitions of dominance, both within the fray and in the statues that adorn our streets. Your disposition is metal, your success is metal, but your death is printed onto paper memorials as if the weight of your actions were too heavy to hold. If you're lucky, you might afford metal leafed into recesses of stone, but the flowering perseverance of our enemy - decay - will weather your name no matter how hard you try. 

Who needs paper now we have silicon. Come together! Collapse space with the dexterity of a reduced alphabet. A predictive text that refuses to learn from years of supremacism. Nimble fingers demand jokes - feints toward social cohesion - it takes a nimble mind to disassociate from the turmoil of your own fragile freedom.

🌞 💓 🌞 💓 Hello my dear friends 🌞 💓 🌞 💓

In this Sunset Lovers episode,  I'm happy to host one real music lover & enthusiast with an exceptional music taste, Lithuanian digger & selector, radio host, dj, party starter, and label owner from Vilnius.
 
He has been involved with different radio shows and podcasts for about 5 years now and his latest brain child is titled Where Were We? The show is running for a third year now and it hosted almost 80 guests who share the same passion for quality balearic/italo/disco/house grooves. Amongst the guests where the likes of Eddie C, Joe Morris, Coyote, Lexx, Das Komplex, Fabrizio Mammarella, Franz Scala, Bottin, Sorcerer, The Beat Broker and many more. 
This summer Where Were We? also turned into a record label and the first release was crafted by midnattssoula's pal and local talent, resident at Opium Club - Lowe Aka User. Release also had a remix package and remixes were made by italo masters Daniel Monaco, Donald Dust, Romain FX and another rising star from Vilnius - Black Feeling. 

midnattssoula is hosting Where Were We event series at Vilnius Peronas bar, so make sure to swing by if you find yourself in the capital of Lithuania. 
You can also tune in to www.neringafm.lt every second Friday at 20:00 (GMT+2) and listen to the latest discoveries from midnattssoula and his guests.

The Sunset Lovers #19 with Midnattssoula

a mix celebrating  the King of Sunsets Jose Padilla's influence on Coyote and the sets and mixes we have played that celebrate the spellbinding effects of soundtracking a sunset. It was Jose that planted the seed and we will always be eternally grateful. x

Take A Moment Vol 5

🌞 💓 🌞 💓 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
