✨ 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.

H.A.N.D. MIX 069 - Ilan (Night City Life)

It is clear that the environment fostered by this platform functions around a radical notion of sharing that involves many layers of our beings, from what we are and do to what we have and want. After all, this is how we link up with people hailing from every corner of the planet, regardless of how far away we are from each other, artists and listeners alike. More than a meeting place, this is a mingling space for anyone willing to partake in the principle that guides this collective endeavour, the same that allows us to share a lot more than a few seasonal commonalities with our current guest. Thus, beyond the fact that we experience similar weather cycles at the same time of the year, we found plenty of connective elements with the musicality of this gifted Aussie selector that prompted us to invite her to add some of it to our ever expanding mosaic of mixes and what Evie brought to the collection is nothing short of everything wonderful we already expected. What we have here is an adventurous admixture of grooves and textures that packs enough energy to traverse the globe back and forth.

Gop Cast 134 - Evie

Good Block are a familiar duo amongst certain circles. For several years they have been steadily releasing music inspired by the funk and balearic influences of the late eighties and nineties - fusing modern sounds with the sun kissed hedonism of the past. They've been generous with it too. Always keen to share edits and tracks with friends, their music has been the secret weapon of many a DJ.

They are about to release a new album - titled 'Window' the record features a collection of dubbed out downtempo and house music which shows a growth and depth to their sound.

Based in London the pair are also seriously talented selectors - having built a reputation for their eclectic, far reaching sets which move between styles and genre.

This mix is a masterclass in a warm, glowing type of dance music - the sort that makes you long for summer and serenades you into spring.
