Much has changed for Ilan Pdahtzur since the release of his Night City Life compilation six years ago. Back then, he was a little-known record collector who shared obscure, synth-heavy music that “captured the night-time glow” of the city he calls home, London, via a dedicated Instagram page.

Fast forward to 2025 and Ilan is now a respected member of the international digger-selector community, having delivered must-check mixes for the likes of Bordello A Parigi, Bayete, Hunee’s Lifetones and Sound Metaphors.

It seems a fitting time, then, for Spacetalk to unleash Night City Life II, a second deep dive into Ilan’s distinctive, neon-lit sound world – a place where European synth-pop rarities, Italo-dance treats, dancefloor-focused post-boogie instrumentals soundtrack strolls around shuttered skyscrapers, dockside housing estates and wharf-side warehouse conversions.

In the six years that have passed since the release of Night City Life, Ilan has uncovered many more rarities, private-press gems and slept-on treats, with 14 of these featuring on the dusty-fingered crate-digger’s sublime sequel. As with its predecessor, much effort has been made to track down the artists behind the synth-heavy songs on show, with the vinyl edition featuring extended liner notes where some tell the story of their track in detail.

Musically, there’s much to set the pulse racing within Ilan’s superb selections, from the slow-motion shuffle of Playground’s self-released 1984 B-side ‘Rainy Day Woman’ and the brilliance of Shamor’s 1985 South African synth-pop special ‘Close To You (Bwela Pafupi)’, to Sharon & Tracy’s ‘The Sheik’ – a belly-dancing inspired slab of TB-303 bass-driven house – and the kaleidoscopic, piano-rich 1992 Euro-house brilliance of ‘Come Into My Life’ by Jennifer.

Dive deeper into the collection and more under-appreciated musical masterpieces make their presence felt. There’s Sicilian musician Claudio D’Ignoti’s lesser-known boogie-era single ‘Anche Per Noi’, where rubbery bass guitar, Nile Rodgers style disco guitar licks and spacey synths dominate the sound space, Lena’s fashion circuit-inspired, early Pet Shop Boys-esque ‘Embrasse-Moi (Strumentale)’ – one that members of Milan’s Paninaro movement would surely have enjoyed – and a sublime, spaced-out and effects laden dancefloor dub of ‘Rescue Me (Imagination)’ by Jimmy D, a genuinely sought-after jam originally released on a now impossible-to-find seven-inch single.

Offering another genuinely distinctive, carefully curated collection of lesser-known musical treats, Night City Life II is another essential, immersive and synthesizer-powered journey through Ilan’s unique sonic world.

‘Better Days’ is the fourth and final single taken off Gratts’ latest vinyl EP ‘New Horizons’. It’s a warm and uplifting chunk of balearica, in which Rose ensures better days are soon upon us (surely), while Belgium’s Steven De bruyn shines on harmonica. Just like the Belgian producer's last few outings, it showcases a sense of class and elegance stemming from 25 years behind the decks and a decade of producing music.

PREMIERE: Gratts 'Better Days' [Be Strong Be Free]

ITTY07 EP
Label - I Travel to You
Released - 11th July 2025
Format - Vinyl
BUY FROM - https://www.juno.co.uk/products/comb-edits-dont-wait-disco-vinyl/1093338-01/

Norwich's I Travel To You imprint has released some extremely good re-edits and re-rubs over the last few years, most coming from the shadowy Comb Edits - an alias, we have been informed, of the East Anglian DJ/producer who founded the imprint. He's in terrific form on this two-track dose of 'Comb Versions'. First up is 'Don't Wait', a deliciously breezy, colourful and summer-ready spin of a disco-boogie vocal number rich in heady horns, sweet and soulful vocals, squelchy synth bass, crispy disco guitar and kaleidoscopic keyboard motifs. Over on the flip the East Anglian editor successfully plays around with a heavy disco-soul number (here titled 'Spotlight'), heading straight for peak-time dancefloors via effects-laden vocal trickery, insatiable grooves and gritty horns.
