It wasn’t midnight and it wasn’t raining.

Each face a saint’s, each world a blasphemy.
Where have our blasphemies gone sailing now?
There, into the Campiello del Squellini,
behind a midnight countess’s flapping cape.

This playlist started as a collection of 70’s disco music on a rainy midnight, but as the night progressed I started smushing it together with disco-influenced house tunes and by the end of it, it was mostly house music and no trace of the original post remained. Either way, I have to say I’m quite pleased with the results of it. Somehow the vibe and sound of the playlist reminds me of strolling around Barcelona at night: vague, vapid, luminous and active. Right now I’m thinking it could be used as a late nightdrive companion, but that’s up to you. Weekend is arriving early for me.

    [...] Another playlist per request, this time for a close friend who loved this post’s songs and asked me if I could create a second part to blend with the past one. I love making playlists for people I know, specially because I love variation and my friends have quite dissimilar tastes, not to mention they rarely listen to music that isn’t overdriven by nostalgia from their high school years. Maybe I just worry to much about it. [...]
