✨ vinyl only mix✨  

For edition 69 of our guest mix series, we welcome once again London-based record collector Ilan (Night City Life). A true Italo enthusiast, Ilan curated Night City Life (@spacetalkmusic), one of our favourite compilations of 2019. Night City Life II will be dropping this summer (and we can’t wait 🎷)

As a DJ his selections are always rich with nostalgia and emotion, taking us on a journey through time and sound. Here is a recording of his vinyl-only set from Flow Festival last year; an Italo-tinged expedition in the Helsinki sunshine.

Sol is a DJ, collector, and graphic designer in Seoul, South Korea. She plays music from the '90s, such as balearic, downtempo, house, and techno. From a DJ's point of view, when people think of Sol, she wants to be recognized as a person who does not think of a genre of music and gives various genres of music to people.

New Massage - Telephones & Raphaël Top-Secret - 04 Jun 2025

3 hours of me spinning 100% vinyl ~ some pop, some club, Italo, easy blends,

Captured on the 22.03.25 at Doka (Amstersdam), which has a very DJ comfortable booth. Play time was from around 3am-6ish.

This live recording is my first in at least 5 years - I’ve always struggled with the concept of DJing without a crowd/dance-floor so for my usual mix output I “record” in Ableton. I also enjoy “mixing” on the sofa as horizontal as possible so go figure.

Cold fire

Lust

Passing – a Deep House journey through the soul of the Alps.
This album captures the quiet intensity of mountain roads, winding passes, and shifting skies. Each track is a moment of transition — from dusk to dawn, from altitude to emotion.

Let the deep, rolling basslines and melodic textures guide you through misty valleys, over sunlit summits, and into the heart of something unknown yet deeply familiar. Perfect for long drives, mountain reflections, or late-night escapes.

🔊 Genres: Deep House, Melodic House, Progressive
🎧 Mood: Atmospheric, Driving, Cinematic, Emotional
🌍 For fans of: Ben Böhmer, Lane 8, Bicep, Christian Löffler
