For the 26th installment in our Just For The Night series, selectors take you on their own journey through groove. Anything goes.
Stepping up next is party lover, dancer, DJ, co-host of Endless Groove, a non-profit community driven party & initiator of Black Is... , a platform championing POC artists: moe.
Forever inspired & in love with the communal joy manifested on dancefloors, he's a globetrotter - musically as you'll hear & literally, originally hailing from Sudan, raised in Abu Dhabi & Dubai, he's also lived in New Orleans, Kuala Lumpur, Stockholm & now based in Berlin. The mix in his own words:
"I really didn't have a clear picture for what I wanted to play for Just For The Night, when a friend messaged to tell me that one of our favourite directors, Shinichirō Watanabe of Cowboy Bebop fame, was directing a new anime scored by Floating Points(!!!). I knew immediately that I wanted to start with 'Tank!', the opening soundtrack of Cowboy Bebop which was my first introduction to Watanabe, the incredible composer Yoko Kanno, as well as the world of Japanese jazz.
The energy & explosiveness of that track remains so utterly infectious, an absolute shot of adrenaline. Everything fell into place from there as I used that groove as an inspiration & guide while playing music that I feel captures its essence across different genres. Old & new favourites here, with the common thread being that they'd make me throw mad shapes on a dance floor.
Thanks to Dust Down Records for the invite, was a lot of fun playing this one x"
