Part 1 > Classic soul grooves from Detroit and mid-80’s boogie midtempo bump along in the night. Check Phyllis Nelson’s monster love-maker “Move Closer”, while an infamous old school boot puts Candi Staton over Jamie Principle. Seiji’s bumpin’ slant on disco and Ron Hardy inspired warehouse sounds from Marcus Mixx as the tempo takes off.

Part 2 > Snares rattle through an old-but-new Chicago ride, with softer melodic echoes right behind. Broken beats washed over with late-night rain & sunshine strings make the midpoint of the set, breaking down into heartbeat ambience and classic a.i. maneuvers. Check the latest moody jacks from Chicago’s Steve Tang, recovered late 80s delirium from Marcus Mixx (yes we like this record), and Pete Leidy’s smooth sample-based textural patchwork.
