SUPERLOUNGE smooth house set in The Lab NYC
Sometimes you need a set that feels like a velvet rope, and SUPERLOUNGE’s smooth house offering in The Lab NYC is precisely that—a sophisticated, late-night cruise for connoisseurs who appreciate a melody that doesn’t have to shout. The imagined setting is all muted tones, soft lighting, and a crowd that sways rather than jumps. This is smooth house in its purest form: a consistent, unhurried 121.2 BPM groove that lives and breathes in the melodic key of 12A, with tasteful detours into 3B and 10B.
The energy profile is uniquely mid-range dominant at 43%, which means rich chords, warm pads, and intricate melodic details are the stars of the show, all sitting atop a solid but subdued low-end. The mixing is fluid and harmonic, creating a continuous, lounge-like atmosphere where the focus is on sonic texture and mood. The tracklist is a masterclass in understated elegance: the opener, Planet Funk & Makebo’s ‘Chase the Sun (Makebo Remix)’, establishes a sunny, progressive vibe, while Nobody’s Hero’s ‘Night Driving’ is a deep, introspective gem.
Ivory (IT)’s ‘There Would Come A Day’ offers a moment of beautiful, melancholic house, and the inclusion of Fade’s ‘All I Got (Chris Fortier 20yr Dub)’ is a deep, timeless classic. The journey begins with that uplifting ‘Chase the Sun’ melody, finds its hypnotic, extended centerpiece in the epic 20-minute journey of Giorgio Moroder’s ‘Tony’s Theme’, and gently winds down with the tender, emotional pull of Vlada Asanin & Joe Red’s ‘Losing You’ as the perfect closing track.
