Post BSS Lunar Transit, a home-made mix similar to what I played at the party :)

A few Balearic beauties to warm up, before a selection of current dub house disco favourites & finishing up with an acid classic.

Highly recommend all these tunes, but especially loving the Peak High / Hardway Bros version of a Jean Carne disco classic, the James Flower re-imagine of Moullinex / Xinobi, & the couple on In Dust We Trust by Chaos In The CBD & Jon Sable.

Big up @bouddisoundsystem & @lolasodapop for making these parties happen & to all the BSS crew for bringing the good vibes ❤️
