Nightmares On Wax
Sometimes the best tracklists come from sets with no DJ name attached, leaving us to piece together the narrative from the gems left behind. This is one of those collections—a lovingly assembled mix of disco, funk, and soul that feels like rifling through a perfect charity shop vinyl rack. The vibe is warm, analog, and irresistibly funky. Technically, it’s eclectic by design, with an average BPM of 117.5 but spanning from 91 to 176, and a key center often in the sunny, open sound of 7A.
The energy is balanced (49% low, 41% mid, 9% high), letting the grooves and vocals shine without overcomplication. For diggers, every track is a highlight. The opener 'Surrounds by InternetCity - Little Birdie' is a modern, Balearic-tinged curiosity. 'Quadron - LFT' is a stunning, slow-burning soul cut that stretches over nine minutes of pure vibe.
Dropping 'Diana Ross - It's My House' is a flawless, empowering classic. 'THE GROOVERS - Where You Belong' offers a smooth, instrumental funk moment. The journey is a smooth ride: starting with the ethereal 'Little Birdie', drifting into the deep, emotional core of 'LFT', and wrapping up with the upbeat, disco-fied closer 'WellyngthonG - Straight Up'.
