luv381 Music For Empty Discotheques

Music For Empty Discotheques

ever since the clubs closed down it has been eerily quiet on dancefloors around the globe. there have been rumors from all sectors reporting folks hearing strange sounds and groove inducing rumblings emanating from many clubs that have been in lockdown for weeks. there is speculation that sound systems have spontaneously been turning on. trying to mimic through scraps of misremembered sounds and rhythmic patterns the music they used to play, in an attempt to lure us back to the dancefloor. it seems the relationship between dancers and sound systems is a symbiotic one. the machines miss their human counterparts, instinctively knowing we are both stronger when we are together.

we’ve come a long way, maybe

exploring the Record Canyon the other day i slipped into a deep, dark chasm full of slowly oozing abstract house grooves and strains of rarefied robot rock. i was down there for just over an hour but with help of my trusted trio of Technics i was able to mix my way out.

luv333 If 7 Was 9

If 7 Was 9

i started heavily getting into electronic music in the early nineties. at that time rave culture was still fairly new but there were a number of artists that were considered pioneers in the scene; those who helped define the sound that we were all maniacally dancing to and hunting down for home listening. now it’s well over 20 years later and many of these musicians are still forging ahead, honing their craft while continuing to influence the sound of today. this, the 7th anniversary mix for dj luv’s records, is a journey consisting of more recent productions by some these legendary artists. i hope you enjoy listening to If 7 Was 9… and all of the other 320 mixtapes up on this site.
