Synth-pop, italo disco, cold wave, space disco…
This mixtape is meant as a nostalgic journey into the world of arpeggiated synths, syncopated basslines and motorik rhythms, bridging the gap between late 70′s / 80′s gems and contemporary productions. I’ve been working on it sporadically for quite a while, re-editing a lot of the tracks and assembling the mix brick by brick. I first meant it to be an hour-long mix but slowly got carried away, ending up with over a hundred minutes of music.
I hope you like it.

This is the first of a series of mixtapes I plan on doing in the near future. The following ones will most likely explore other music genres I love to listen to and enjoy playing in my sets.

What can I say about Truspin? Well, not only is he the guy who taught me everything about djing, he’s also the first person to get me dj gigs in bars and clubs. But most importantly, he’s one of my best friends. He’s been behind the decks of almost every major Montreal clubs and after hours in the last decade and he just put out a long awaited mixtape of smooth dance music, old and new, showcasing his versatility and ability to move every crowd.
Congratulations on a job well done!

If you’re in Montreal, you can catch him at Tokyo Bar on Thursdays and Fridays
as well as Blue Dog Motel on Saturdays.

Oh yeah, my partner Edith and I had the honor of designing the mixtape cover.
