Cool Nowadays Dj Mixes 2025

PART 2a: starting from around midnight

Last month I played an all-night set at Nowadays in NY, which I’ve described to many friends since as probably the best DJing experience of my life. 

As a DJ you’re constantly seeking a connection with those you play to, and sometimes it’s there, sometimes not. But I have never felt so intimately close to, and in tune with, an audience – whose faces I could barely even see – for the entire duration of a night. 

I’d slept for 2 hours, was jetlagged to the point of delirium and woefully underprepared for a 9-hour set. By the last hour and a half I had a crippling stomach cramp and was falling asleep on my feet. But by some cosmic rave miracle I had somehow slipped into a groove from the beginning and found myself tracing an arc that felt like it was drawing itself, as if all I had to do was relax and watch my own hands play the music. There were moments of intensity and euphoria and nostalgia and energetic catharsis, but throughout the entire set I felt fully empowered to meander in deep, subtle and confounding directions, somehow confident that wherever I went, the dancefloor would follow. 

The final stretch descended into a nostalgic parade of old and poignant favourites which, coming out of a recent period of personal upheaval, kinda knocked me sideways and left me frequently close to tears. I was a physical and emotional wreck by the time I finished. But it was a completely magical experience from beginning to end, which felt shared in a very genuine way by everyone in the room, and honestly I don’t care if anyone would listen to a 9-hour recording these days because I just want there to be a document of the night in its entirety out there for posterity. 

So here you go – a four part recording of the whole set, hopefully conveying at least some of the joy I felt on the night. Heartfelt thanks to Nowadays and to every person who was there. ♥️

Paurro - Live @Nowadays NYC Nonstop

Went into this closing set a bit more open sonically. Wanted to hit the "anything goes" button being it's a Sunday afternoon on Easter weekend and people have people been partying 40+ hours. It's not often you get a crowd that's up to dance to everything ... from Dexter to No Doubt to Calle 13 to 2008 stage diving electro lol. Thank you New York, that was awesome! Enjoy =)

Recorded @ Nowadays on March 31st, 20204

Live @ Nowadays (Nonstop) [Closing Set]

live @ nowadays august 2024

Six hours recorded at one of my favourite clubs in the world, between the hours of 6am and 12pm. 
I absolutely loved doing this - taking the party deeper and deeper into after hours, and bringing everyone back to consciousness again in the second half. 
I LOVE NYC!

Ben UFO - Six Hours At Nowadays Nonstop 2024

This a recording of my set at Nowadays Nonstop from December 2024.

Shared this to commemorate the Voüch zine I was on the cover of for Valentine's weekend 2025 ~~~ (insta: @vouchwick)

Did you get your copy?
Gotta ask IRL 
when you see me or Zach <3

before it's out of our hands and into the archives.....

~Reflections~

My favorite moments in the mix are when a sense of urgency to play around, to switch moods, to linger and lean into experiments,  all of it riles up and smooths out the beat connection again and again. Just like the oceans tide, it comes in swells of beautiful music and risky stitching of all the messages together. It's not perfect, but I am living in these songs for this moment. Washing them through my being and my perspective, that's the fun part and the part I feel the deepest, that somehow I'm bringing this music to life through appreciation and reverence. 

Giving you something new at the end. The culmination of all the inspiration - when new meets old music in perfect harmony - I am in awe that these hands are the channel for this risky jazz but kno she must keep twisting the knobs and sonically pushing to channel more light to this world, as God herself intend.

As the sun shone through the windows, we embraced its warm light, letting our bodies and souls move to the rhythm of house music at Nowadays on the 9th of February. So then - I was titled the sun queen afterwards.

Enjoy this only vinyl mix! x

Lychee @ Nowadays Nonstop - March 29, 2025

I’m sharing my set from @nowadaysnyc from February, closing out the Sunday evening of the Nonstop party after Ayesha's crazy set. This was one of my favourite moments DJing ever I think. Pure synergy in one of my favourite places to play in the world.

The first track is something new from me, keep your eyes peeled more info soon. 👀

Theres a load of genre hopping over the four hours but everything felt quite natural and seamless, taking things from peak time bass music down to a soft house music landing with a few twists and turns along the way.

Beautiful and affirming moment dancefloor moments are not to be taken for granted! Much love to everyone who danced.

musclecars Live from Mister Sunday at Nowadays: November 10th, 2019

This set was recorded at the start of this year at Nowadays in NYC. I closed out the party after Aurora Halal, from 2am - 7am. 
It was such a wonderful night, and with clubs around the world still closed I thought the set would work well as something to listen to this NYE, however you might be spending it.

Happy new year - hoping to see you again in 2021 💫

This set was originally broadcast on Nowadays' Patreon channel - https://www.patreon.com/nowadaysnyc/posts - please consider supporting them if you can.
