Description: Recording of Kenji Takimi's set at Rainbow Disco Club 2024.

"We hadn’t really seen each other in a while so we got together and caught up over some of the music that’s stuck with us through the thick and the thin over the years. A bunch of boogie, lots of last songs, some sloppy mixing and a plenty of Vera. Classic PSS!" - @pender-street-steppers

3 hours of late, late night vibes for the hardcore dancers who are willing to see things through post-peak. It's part of a series I've been doing, archiving a ton of my favorite tracks from 20+ years dj'ing/collecting in mixes. - @j-a-z-1

A longtime conductor of contagious positive vibrations, Danny Bodega is a much loved name among balearic dance music enjoyers round the globe! Co-founding Gazebo Records last year, his killer ear for breezy coastal cruisers and deep crossover club jams make Bodega's effervescent energies the perfect tone setter for those long 'n' balmy summer nights. 

Step back in time for 3 hours of extended hangs and zesty hedonistic pleasures with Danny Bodega as your good time guarantor!

Q. What inspiration did you draw upon when planning this mix, and what kind of listening environments might you see it being easily enjoyed in?

A. Last year I went to my neighbour Lenny’s night at a tiny basement club in Hackney with Dan Beaumont and Wes Baggaley playing records together. Had not felt that feeling in the club since the early days going out in Naarm with locals playing records all night at Lounge, Liberty Social and Roxanne Parlour. This mix is a nod to that vibe and best suited to before, or after the club hangs…or triathlon training.

Q. Are there any records in the mix that are particularly close to your heart? 

A. There are quite a few records in here that I’ve had for more than 10 years and have only ever played to myself at personal kick-ons, so it’s a delight to share them more widely. The Usual Suspects remix of Mr. C and Robert Owens’ ‘A Thing Called Love’ is one. While I’ve never been a fan of Robert Owens’ vocal stylings, this remix is an overlooked $2 Layo & Bushwacka! banger. Will put it up on the Gazebo YouTube channel soon.

Q. You and Nick managed to gather a tonne of support for your inaugural Gazebo Records release last year, releasing Fuemana’s 1994 cult classic New Urban Polynesian on vinyl for the first time. What was your favourite part about that whole process?

A. The response to the Fuemana family’s story and musical talents from a whole new generation of fans really blew us away. Having Tony and Mamma Fuemana fly over from Auckland for the launch party was the perfect culmination of family, friends and community spirit around the release that was also the perfect send off for me moving to London the following day. News on Gazebo 002 incoming shortly…

Q. Where can people catch you spinning next?

A. All night at Frequence in Paris this Friday, Feb 21 at Bodega Nights, April 12 with Daisy Records and Evie at the Jago. Nick and I are putting on a Gazebo party over here on May 3 with some special guests that we are excited about!

You can wear a thousand masks without ever dressing up. A game of expressions, gestures, and words can be nothing more than a facade, a shimmer, an illusion. A smile without joy. A tear without sorrow.
How are you? “Good!”
Nothing is as it seems - or at least, rarely is. Or is it?

Rude Boy loosely translated: misbehaving boy, troublemaker.
In this song, the character repeats these words to himself over and over, rapidly, almost as a mantra trying to believe them by force. It becomes an outward-facing shield meant to maintain its effect. This constant repetition continues until exhaustion sets in and only then can he begin to question everything.

It’s time to realize who he once was:
A boy.

Of course, this character is also a part of me. As an artist, the creative process is an ongoing act of questioning everything. An emotional rollercoaster.
Each new piece opens up new philosophical themes.
Am I still myself or have I become a reflection of the market?
Who could possibly grasp the thoughts and emotions flowing through my body when I stand on stage and perform my music?
What expectations do I project onto the music itself?

On social media, the mask fits perfectly. Always positive. Good vibes only!
That’s what I kept telling myself.
But life isn’t like that—and we can only truly appreciate and enjoy the light if we’re willing to look at, accept, and allow the dark as well.

Yin needs yang. Black needs white—and vice versa.
And that’s okay with me.
I’m happy being the grown man who still carries a child within 
embracing the full spectrum of emotion.Rather than following conventional narratives, @Skydrips embraces ambiguity and softness as acts of quiet strength. These tracks don’t shout. They listen. They ask. They shift between states of questioning and letting go, between social masks and personal truth, between the need to protect and the desire to connect.
This is music for those who feel out of step with the world yet deeply connected to something greater. It speaks to the ones who carry contradictions, who challenge fixed identities, and who believe that real transformation begins where defense mechanisms end.
Sonically subtle yet emotionally charged, the EP offers a soundscape where tension dissolves into introspection. With deep rhythms, atmospheric layers, and a voice that is more invitation than instruction, Skydrips invites the listener to pause, reflect, and gently reassemble themselves.
