“En el mundo de afuera todo cambia”

It’s finally February! If you’ve followed this blog for a number of years (if so, thank you) you may know that in a previous life I used to DJ. Even though I was never particularly good at it I thoroughly enjoy it and have wonderful memories of playing records in late night spots in the UK and back home across the pond.
My love for physical records continues; the collection keeps growing, and though I don’t have time to practice anymore sometimes I take an hour here and there to play some records in sequence. Often I just let the whole track play through. I’ve been recently reorganising my collection to see what records I no longer play often that I could get rid of to create more space in the house.
Last night I played some deep house 12″s and recorded the session. In case you need a soundtrack for repetitive and mechanical tasks…
