@rainbowdiscoclub this is ep 084. Gilles Peterson was 083

What is that track in the beginning??? I love it! Is that Cantonese?

Xiaolin's exclusive live mix for RDC 2025 podcast:

The reason I love to do live set is that it’s a completely different approach from DJing - while DJ focuses on adapting to the crowd and the room, liveset is a raw expression from the heart, music that was created in the comfort of home and studio - kind of feels like: “this is all I’ve got, love it or leave it.”  My livesets normally focus on 3 different kinds of energy:  Sun energy, Moon energy and Body (Earth) energy.  This 1-hour liveset was originally designed for Sound Metaphors’ 9-year Anniversary at Panorama Bar, drawing from Sun energy - it is driven by joy, romance, warmth and a shared feeling of “things are gonna be okay… we have each other, let’s go on a fun journey together”.  I used Juno60, Korg Minilogue for sequences, Linn Drum & 909 samples, RD-05 for live melodies and pads, plus Ableton Push, midi keyboard, electric violin and vocal.  There are a few alternate (live set only) versions of released materials, and a few unreleased collab materials, as well as of course the “Moods Of Love” Canto series released on Bless You.  The first Cantonese vocal track in the liveset will be the third vinyl release coming end of this month (BLESSYOU029).  It is a cover version of Tina Lau’s “Half A Dream/半個夢” from 1987, but completely redone from scratch with a different take and original vocal.  There will be a few different versions including a club version and Mogwaa’s Latin-style remix.  I hope you enjoy it!
