OCTOBER HOUSE (S5 | E258)

The set opens with a gentle ascent, featuring Niriko’s “Lift Off” and the smooth, uplifting grooves of Lukas Hiraeth’s “You Do You.” As the mood settles, the mix finds its warm anchor in tracks from Crade’s Chill House Summer album, specifically the instrumental “Treat Me Right” and the sun-drenched “Pink Sunrise,” offering a nostalgic, gentle hint of warmer days past. PJDJ then layers in the moody soundscapes of Far Orange’s “Bitter Move” and the hypnotic sounds of Bejnou’s “Aishiteru” before picking up the pace with André Aguado’s “Aquarium.” This section offers a nod to classic chill-out culture with “Into The Sun – Chill Mix” from Latroit, Pretty Garter, and Charlz (off #Ibiza 2024), keeping the energy flowing and rooted in the deep-house tradition.

October House – so so good!!

The second half of this October House episode explores a rich tapestry of atmospheric electronica and deep house. The set highlights top-notch production from respected labels like Epidemic Sound and Nettwerk Music Group. Be sure to listen for the driving rhythm of West & Zander’s “Port Ella” and the sleek, emotive tracks “Through My Mind” and “Ultraviolet” from Mar Vei. The mix culminates in a sequence of beautifully crafted tracks that are ideal for truly late-night listening: the understated intensity of Giants’ Nest’s “After Midnyte” and the immersive, textural wash of MÖZÄMBIQÜE’s and Soft Palace’s “NaturHaus.” It’s a mix that’s both chilled and engaging, expertly curated by PJDJ for this week’s installment of Lester the Nightfly.
