Part 1 > Settling in with proper soul, deep keys and late 70’s grooves. Chicago in effect with Curtis Mayfield, the Staple Singers (covering a Talking Heads synthy jerker) and Fingers Inc. Midtempo funk from Peter Brown and Ronnie Foster, leaving on a midnight plane…

Part 2 > vocals bring the message via house old and new, giving way to cosmic flotation and darker moods. we hear pseudo-dance rhythms with great momentum from exos, lush & breathing downtempo from mr. projectile, and melodic-jack sounds from chicago’s steve tang.

dave rides with a slow build from dopplereffekt’s beatless oscillations up through the hot hypnosis of new world aquarium. minimal ideas from three decades move the floor, and are then washed away in vainqueur’s sea of dub. cathartic ambient tones from markus guentner cross over into more uptempo spaced-out sounds from spacetime continuum and rolando.
