Part 1: Lights down low for a slow, moody combo of nighttime soul dusties and smoked-out Detroit downtempo. Abstract sound thoughts from Urban Tribe, Curtis Mayfield, Theo Parrish, Blue Magic and a sultry classic from Donna McGhee produced by Patrick Adams. Deep grooves for your next afterhours wind-down.

Part 2: the dubbed-out berlin excursion continues with porter ricks, studio pankow, and monolake, and then takes a sharp right turn at frankfurt for a stylistic mash featuring vintage sounds from newcleus and tyree, and a new perlon-tinged shuffler from orac.

Part 1: The full range of funk electric. Francois K in dub mix form, crosstalk of Shari Vari and Joakim remixing John Foxx. Deep arrangements from Mr. Geist (DJing across town tonight) and a favorite NewOrder b-side w/ chi-house ’88 influence. Crisp electro from Holland’s Dexter. Techno from new label Frantic Flowers, and wicked new grinder by Half Inch Jack in tasteful homage to Tyree Cooper.

Part 2: smoothed out vintage house sounds from chicago and new york lead to a smattering of the more recent eras, including soul run through the grinder by germany’s soundhack. then all goes dark, lights gradually appearing in hyper-hypnotic fashion with m. rahn and a fresh batch of bleeped-up electrowerk, featuring a shimmering pair of cuts from electro-don carl finlow.
