Pherapy #4 [Progressive House Mix]

A gorgeous night in Soho to celebrate Bradley. Bradley and Rachel have been such big supporters of my musical journey over the past year, and it was a pleasure to join them in New York to celebrate his birthday. Reflecting on it, this one just flowed really nicely. An exercise in energetic management, weaving in and out of some deeper dance floor moments and intertwining nostalgia and a darker evolution as the night progressed. I appreciated the feedback on this evolution as it was happening and thereafter. Worth noting, It was fascinating to prepare for as I wasn't sure where I'd be starting energetically after the previous artist, and ultimately I think this made the set more interesting. Chloe definitely influenced me in this regard. Also quite happy to play music from a few artists I've been enjoying that just haven't found the moment to come out yet, particularly Josh Caffe. This is hands down my favorite set all around thus far. Thanks for listening! 

I ended up playing from 12:45-4am. I've included 2 tracks b2b with Jason Douglas at the close as well. Thanks to you both for the opportunity to share music with so many people I love. Happy Birthday Bradley!

Tracklist in the comments.

This documentary explores the little known inspiring story of the New Irish Recording Company (NIRC), a groundbreaking recording company and record label dedicated to Irish contemporary classical music. Established in 1971 by Seamus O'Neill, Rodney Senior, and Darby Carroll, the NIRC undertook the ambitious mission of recording Irish classical music in Ireland during a time when the industry was dominated by global giants like Deutsche Gramophone and EMI. Operating on a shoestring budget, the NIRC defied the odds, producing around 20 full-length recordings that elevated Irish classical music to the global stage. Sadly, much of this invaluable work remains largely unheard and is now difficult to access. Produced and presented by Jimmy Eadie.
