The following interview was conducted on July 20, 2026
DJ Soch has spent decades shaping Italy’s underground, building a reputation on deep feeling, analog craft, and a lifelong devotion to house culture. With his WOLF debut turning heads, he’s stepping into an Everyone Back To Mine moment opening up the late-night, lights-down playlist of tracks that shaped him. Expect Detroit depth, Italian soul, American house lineage, and the emotional selections he champions on his Close to the Heart radio show. It’s a window into the music he reaches for when the night softens and the real heads stay behind. Teddy Pendergrass - Come Go with Me
Teddy Pendergrass had one of the greatest voices in soul music, full of warmth and emotion. This is the kind of record that instantly creates an intimate, relaxed atmosphere, perfect for winding down with friends after a long night.
Dennis Edwards – Don't Look Any Further
This is one of those timeless classics that never gets old. The groove is effortless, the vocals are full of soul, and it's the kind of record that brings people together without ever trying too hard.
Space Ghost Feat Teddy Bryant – Heaven Sent
I love the warmth and soul that runs through this record. It feels intimate and uplifting at the same time, making it the perfect kind of track to end the night surrounded by good friends and good conversations.
Soul II Soul - Keep On Movin'
This is one of those timeless records that always puts me in a good mood. No matter how many times I hear it, it still sounds fresh, and after a long night it's exactly the kind of soulful energy I want to share with friends.
Sade – Couldn't Love You More
Sade's voice has a unique way of bringing a sense of calm and elegance to any moment. It's one of those records that invites you to slow down, take a breath and simply enjoy the company around you after a long night.
Massive Attack - Teardrop
This is one of those records that never loses its emotional impact. Its atmosphere is deep, intimate and timeless, making it the perfect soundtrack for those quiet moments when the night slowly gives way to the morning.
Manuel Göttsching – E2-E4
This is one of the most influential records ever made and one I never get tired of listening to. Its hypnotic groove and timeless atmosphere remind me that sometimes the simplest ideas can have the deepest emotional impact.
Dip In The Pool – On Retinae
This is one of those records that feels beautifully understated yet incredibly powerful. Its haunting atmosphere and delicate beauty make it the perfect soundtrack for those quiet moments when the party has faded and all that's left is the music.
Napoleon Cherry – Stay With Me
There's something effortlessly soulful about this record that keeps drawing me back to it. It has the kind of warmth and groove that doesn't demand attention—it simply creates the perfect atmosphere to stay together a little longer after the night is over.
SSIEGE – Angelo Azzurro
This is one of those records that creates a world of its own. Its dreamy atmosphere and subtle emotion make it the perfect way to slow everything down, letting the music speak quietly while the night gently comes to an end.
