Scott Proper : Blythswood Hotel (The Nightshift)

Picture this. It was the hottest day of the year & the mid afternoon sun was high in the sky.
Many people had been up all night, some were just arriving in the fields in Norfolk.

The Old Gramophone tent was one of the few stages with some refuge from the sun so I played super chill, trippy & Dreamy with lots of Reggae, slow Disco & downtempo dance. There are also lots of unreleased edits & version excursions which you won’t hear anywhere else.

I mourn the fact that there are no longer chill-out rooms in the clubs so this was a chance to play some music that is good to lollygag and trip out to or dance slowly if the desire takes you. 
I brought it up gradually because I don’t have  much chill out music on my stick cos there are no chill out rooms in clubs these days. And yes I am mostly Nick The Stick these days... 

I picked it up a bit more during the 3rd hour as Sassy J was up next so wanted to give her the best chance possible of getting a dance floor happening (was still real hot though).
I played a fun party set on the Thursday night but sadly the recording of that was corrupted.

Anyway I hope you enjoy.

P.S. the photo is in taken in Brighton while I am wearing my favourite Houghton top

Scott Proper : Happy To See You Back

Shades Of Sound Radio - January 2025

Drifting slow beneath the sky,
Tides of sound are passing by.
Rhythms rise, then disappear,
I feel the waves draw me near.


Driftwave nights, I fall apart,
Currents rewire all my heart.
Motion carries me in flight,
Lost inside the driftwave night.


Shadows move, the air is clear,
Whispers fade, but still I hear.
Every pulse becomes a guide,
Pulls me deeper with the tide.


Floating high above the ground,
Wrapped inside this endless sound.
Every wave is burning bright,
Carrying me through the night.

Driftwave nights, I fall apart,
Currents rewire all my heart.
Motion carries me in flight,
Lost inside the driftwave night.

Driftwave Nights

Chillman-Driftwave Nights



These words, simple as they may be, are the essence of everything. They rise up from my heart and return me to a place of stillness, of presence, of truth. They are enough.

I stand here, in the unfolding of my life, and I see how gratitude softens all edges, how it shapes each moment into something luminous. When I whisper thank you, the world reshapes itself — the struggles become teachers, the wounds become openings, and even the silence is filled with meaning.

In love, in loss, in the laughter of my children, in the quiet breath of the morning — thank you. For each meeting, for each parting, for every hand held and every tear shed. Thank you. For the questions I cannot answer, and for the mysteries that need no answer.



Section 2
We live in a world where everything asks us to hurry, to choose sides, to reduce ourselves to labels. But love, true love, is the refusal to shrink. It is the courage to stay open, to stay vast, to stay vulnerable in a world that teaches us to armor ourselves. I have learned that tenderness is a form of rebellion, and devotion is the most radical act of freedom.



Section 3
I believe in presence more than perfection. Presence is when you show up, unarmored, unedited, as you are. That is what makes intimacy possible — not the performance of being flawless, but the offering of being real. It is in our cracks, not our polish, that we recognize each other. It is where we are unfinished that love enters.



Section 4
Fundamentalism, whether in politics, religion, or even relationships, is the opposite of life. It is a narrowing. It fears ambiguity, nuance, the places where contradictions breathe. But we are not meant to be simple, we are meant to be infinite. We are both light and shadow, laughter and grief, certainty and doubt. To love is to hold all of it, without needing to resolve it into something smaller than it is.



Section 5
The more I live, the more I understand that death is not the opposite of life, but its mirror. It teaches us to stop waiting. To pour the wine, to kiss longer, to tell people what they mean to us now, not tomorrow. Mortality is not cruel; it is the teacher that reminds us of the urgency of tenderness.



Section 6
I have hit a confusing problem. I feel inside of me that I live 2 lives every day. I am a Gemini, but so is everyone. You feel 2 things every day — your physical body (food, clothes, exercise, nature, sun) — and you feed your psyche, your brain (radio, book). But most important is that it is not a choice. It is a human breath, a necessity.




Section 7
If I leave you with one truth, it is this: love is not something you find. It is something you choose, again and again, even when it is hard, even when you are tired, even when fear tells you to close. Choose love like a practice, like a prayer. That is the only way to stay free.
