This morning’s Music To Make Your Ears Smile session felt like a slow-motion sunrise — a set built around space, warmth, and a bit of wanderlust. We started adrift with Ecovillage feat. Nightlands, drifting through ambient textures before Yarni’s The Romantic Ghost pulled us gently into cinematic grooves.
There was something powerful in Soo Chul Kim’s The Way to Hades — that bridge between ancient and modern always catches me. From there, we eased through the Balearic glow of Statues’ Radiant Sun, the feel-good shimmer of Ralph Myerz, and the hypnotic funk of Prado.
Old friends returned too — Mary House’s Searchin Dreams, Love Quartet, Avarice, Chris & Moi — all those early-90s moments that shaped my love for downtempo and Italo house.
We closed on a high with Bel Batista’s Disco Mousso — a cosmic French-disco gem that lifted the whole morning skyward.
A mix of pulse, nostalgia, and calm — still glowing hours later.
