Interviews

Abacus - Loisada

This track feels like a warm conversation in motion — its groove, chords, and storytelling energy gently hold the room when the night softens but no one is ready to go home. I chose it for its emotional warmth and elegance, and because it means a lot to me that Abacus — an artist I deeply respect — once remixed my music for a Trusted Rhythm Records project.

Ananda Project - Once Before Feat. Olivja

This song wraps the room in soulful warmth ― the vocal feels intimate, almost like someone confiding in you quietly while the party slows down. I love it because Chris Brann's production balances depth and lightness in a way that makes everyone breathe a little easier.

Lovebirds - Want You In My Soul (feat.Stee Downes)

A modern classic that blends disco percussion, cosmic synths, and a mid-tempo house groove into something endlessly romantic and playable. I chose it because Stee Downes's vocal feels like a hug for the whole room ― it's one of those tracks that makes friends sing along without realizing.

Jon Dixon - On My Own (feat. Moodymann & Kasan Belgrave)

This track feels like Detroit's heartbeat in slow motion ― live-feeling keys, horns, and groove all breathing together. I love it because it carries both introspection and swagger, the perfect bridge between deep conversation on the sofa and one more dance in the living room.

Kenny Larkin – Colonize

"Colonize” has that futuristic Plus 8 tension ― fast, hypnotic, and slightly alien, like the last burst of kinetic energy before everyone fully relaxes. I chose it because it reminds me how techno can be both cerebral and emotional, even in a home setting with shoes off and drinks in hand.

G.Atjazz - Touch the Sun

“Touch the Sun” feels like deep house viewed through a warm, golden filter ― soulful chords, gentle movement, and a sense of hopeful lift. I love it because it's perfect for that moment when the party turns into a shared daydream, somewhere between dancing and simply floating.

Ross From Friends - XXX Olympiad

This track carries a bittersweet, nostalgic energy ― airy breaks and hazy textures that feel like a memory of the club you just left. I chose it because it keeps a pulse going while gently shifting everyone into a more reflective, soft-focus mood.

Hajime Yoshizawa - I am with You

This track blends Brazilian brightness with a sophisticated groove that feels both uplifting and grounded. I love it because it brings a live, human joy into the room ― the kind of energy that makes people smile at each other without needing to say anything.

U. Urbs & Cutex - Wherever You Are (feat. T.R.A.C.)

English: A downtempo, jazzy hip-hop track with a knocking beat and gentle chords that feel like a soft landing after a big night. I chose it because, even though it’s a new release, it gives me a deep sense of nostalgia ― like sharing one last moment of happiness together before everyone drifts back into their everyday lives.

Dub Tractor - Pull Dub

“Pull Dub” feels like a slow-motion dissolve ― dubby echoes, soft textures, and a spacious mix that lets the room finally exhale. I love ending with this because it turns the after-party into a gentle ambient cocoon, where conversation, silence, and memory all float together.
