VG004 slips into the room slowly. Low lights. Velvet curtains. Warm air moving through a warehouse long after midnight. This mix drifts between cosmic disco, sultry house, and hypnotic after-hours grooves - the kind of soundtrack that turns strangers into silhouettes and dancefloors into memories. Lisa Shaw’s I Can See It opens everything with pure silk. Miguel Migs wraps the vocal in deep sunset soul before Woolfy and Prins Thomas stretch the mood into something dreamlike and weightless with Making It Right. Then Joris Voorn’s Ryo glides in like neon reflections across wet city streets. There’s a magnetic pull running through this entire journey. Delphi’s Blue Tuesday feels lonely in the most beautiful way possible, while Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas completely reimagine Swoon into a slow-burning cosmic spiral built for 4AM moments. Peggy Gou and Maurice Fulton bring pure attitude with I Go, before Chilly’s For Your Love and Stinger J.’s Pretty Face inject that irresistible disco heat - sensual, loose, and dripping in groove. And then the deeper descent begins. The Funk Assassin originals sit right in the heart of the mix like hidden rooms inside the club itself. Warehouse Orbit moves with smoky warehouse energy and late-night tension, Timbale Moon Drift floats somewhere between lunar disco and downtown soul, while Basement Mirror twists everything into a darker, sleazier groove designed for the final hours when nobody wants to leave. Tiger & Woods, Midnight Magic, Alan Dixon, and Musumeci keep the pulse alive all the way through - balancing elegance with pure dancefloor seduction - before MK’s Burning (Vibe Mix) closes the doors with one last emotional rush. VG004 isn’t peak-time music. It’s the soundtrack for what happens after. For the dancers still moving when the lights should’ve already come on. TRACKLIST 1.

Discothèque Decadence Soundsystem presents DD021: Latin Yacht House Party A sun-drenched voyage through Latin house, yacht grooves, Balearic warmth, and feel-good dancefloor gold. Opening with the smooth luxury of Benny Santiago’s “Give Me the Night - Cielo Extended”, the mix glides into The Doobie Brothers’ “Long Train Runnin’”, Yacht Rock Revue’s “San Junipero”, Daryl Hall & John Oates’ “I Can’t Go for That” in the Pomo remix, Party Pupils’ “Never Too Much”, and Christopher Cross’ “Ride Like The Wind - Yacht House Mix” — all bringing that glossy, sunset-on-the-water energy. Then the Latin fire rises. David Penn, DJ Chus & Dr. Kucho!’s “Esperanza” leads into Africanism & Salomão De Bahia’s “Cada Vez”, before two personal weapons take centre stage: The Funk Assassin – “Sabor En Tu Piel” and The Funk Assassin – “Di Mi Nombre (Spanglish Pop Soul Edit)”. Both capture the heart of the mix: sensual, rhythmic, warm, and built for that golden-hour moment when the drinks are flowing, the sea is glowing, and the groove takes over. The second half goes full Latin house celebration with Los Amigos Invisibles & Masters At Work, Junior Jack, Basement Jaxx, Negrocan, Ultra Naté, Afro Medusa, Cesária Évora, and Bellini bringing carnival energy, percussion, big hooks, and Balearic heat.

Record Store Day 2026: French Touch & Nu Disco Session 🇫🇷✨ This one’s built around four of my own Record Store Day exclusives - Midnight In Your Eyes, Midnight Quai, Midnight Tourist, and Deep Ember Loop - each designed for a different moment in the night. Slow, seductive openers into deeper, hypnotic territory… no filler. I open with Midnight In Your Eyes into Midnight Quai - warm, late-night, and effortless. From there, the mix glides into the sound that shaped everything here… St Germain “So Flute” and “Deep in It” - jazz, house, soul. A clear influence throughout. The energy lifts into French Touch essentials - Bob Sinclair “Champs Elysées Theme”, Daft Punk “Phoenix”, Demon “You Are My High” - melodic, driving, and built for movement. Then we dip deeper… Café de Flore (Charles Webster Mix) into Rose Rouge - slower, richer, more immersive. That’s where Midnight Tourist and Deep Ember Loop land - darker, hypnotic, and built for those locked-in late-night moments. From there, it’s pure flow - touching on Revolution 909, Mothership Reconnection, and the lift from It’s Yours and Happiness as the mix opens back out into that sunrise feeling. Press play. Turn it up. TRACK LIST 1. The Funk Assassin – Midnight In Your Eyes (RSD 2026 Exclusive) 2. The Funk Assassin – Midnight Quai (RSD 2026 Exclusive) 3. St Germain – So Flute 4.

Ibiza. Late evening. Warm air, salt in the breeze. A Balearic warm-up groove inspired by the spirit of DJ Alfredo. If this takes you somewhere… save it.

For those locked into that golden hour state of mind, this is a full Balearic sunset session designed to carry you from late afternoon glow into dusk. 🌅 An hour of laid-back, sun-soaked energy - blending soulful house, Balearic remakes, and warm, melodic grooves. Expect reworks of classics like Bryan Ferry – Don’t Stop The Dance and Oasis – Wonderwall, wrapped in that unmistakable Ibiza sunset feel. 🎶 Whether you’re poolside at a villa, on the beach, or just chasing that end-of-day calm… this is your soundtrack. No rush, no pressure - just rhythm, warmth, and atmosphere. ☀️🌴 Press play, ease into it, and let the mix do what it’s meant to do.

Step a little closer… this one’s different. Velvety Grooves VG003 isn’t just a mix, it’s a mood. A slow burn. The kind of energy that wraps around you, pulls you in, and doesn’t let go. From the very first drop, you feel it. That deep, rolling groove, smooth, confident, a little bit dangerous. A sun-kissed rework of Sylvester’s “Mighty” sets the tone, and before you know it, you’re locked into something hypnotic. Then “Zeus” glides in, warm, euphoric, effortless, like golden hour on a dancefloor that never sleeps. This mix moves, but it doesn’t rush. It teases. Basslines that slide instead of hit. Chords that shimmer instead of shout. Vocals that feel like they’re meant just for you. There’s a certain kind of confidence running through this one. The playful bounce of “We Like to Party”, the irresistible pull of “Amore Automatico”, the sun-soaked glow of Nu Genea, it’s all curated to make you feel something. And then it lifts. “Wake Up!” hits and suddenly the room feels lighter, brighter, like everyone’s locked into the same moment. “Love Ain’t Over” softens things just enough, before “Wonderful Life ’25” takes you somewhere higher, eyes closed, hands up, completely gone. By the time “It’s Alright” closes things out, you’re not the same as when you pressed play. This is that late-night energy. The kind that turns heads without trying. The kind that makes you move a little slower, a little closer. Whether it’s pre-drinks, the dancefloor, or that moment after when the music’s still playing and nobody wants to leave, VG003 knows exactly what it’s doing. Press play. Feel it build. And let the velvet do the talking.

SUNSET TO SUNRISE: Spring Equinox Special ☀️ A golden hour soul session by The Funk Assassin As day melts into night, this session captures that perfect in-between — where the sky glows, the fire’s lit, and the first groove hits just right. We open with a timeless anthem — instantly familiar, instantly warm — before drifting through soulful house staples, gospel-infused highs, and deep, velvet grooves that carry you from golden hour into the night. From the uplifting energy of Ain’t Nobody to the undeniable pull of Push The Feeling On, this is a journey built on feeling — not filler. Expect rich vocals, late-day warmth, and floor-ready soul from the likes of Crackazat, Michael Gray, Dave Lee, and Lovebirds — all carefully selected to keep things smooth, stylish, and moving. Think sunset reflections, basslines rolling in with the tide, and that moment when everything just clicks. 🌇 Perfect for golden hour… or losing track of time completely. Mixed with intent by The Funk Assassin.
