DJ Set recorded on February, 2024 on the island of Florianópolis

"I was at a party in space with creatures of all kinds and shapes you can imagine, and this was the music playing, the vibe was unbelievable. Influenced by the 1970s space disco, with its synthesizers, funky grooves, and a certain psychedelia, the space DJs know what they're doing, it's time to listen to the voice that comes from beyond, or rather, from the infinite and beyond."

I gotta say, this strikes me as fairly straight ahead New Jersey style House, at least next to DJ Harvey. :D

See also: Daniele Baldelli, one of the OGs of the style from the late 1970s, still going strong.

I've been listening to a lot of house stuff from Crab.culture and Book Club Radio recently. I put together a playlist of sets here.

One must check out the ELO album Time. This track should get you started.
