At maybe a quarter after 2 a.m., when I was waiting for my ride home from Nocturno, I heard “Afuera” coming from somewhere outside of Catch One and looked up to see someone sitting on the bus stop across the street from the venue, playing a conga drum along with the Caifanes classic while a couple danced. It was a good vibe for the end of the night.
And the vibes inside were good too. I was in the DJ booth in the new wave vs. darkwave room all night. It was Boy Harsher night, although there were quite a few requests for Ultra Sunn. Shout out to whoever asked for “Wrong Floor,” which came out about a week ago and is fire. The response on the dance floor was great, so that will probably be sticking around in my sets.
I did get to play “Nonstop Romance” from Mareux’s new album of the same name and the response was good, so I think you will hear more of that too. I also played “Blackmail,” a cool instrumental from Nonstop Romance around the time we opened. “Reason to Stay” by Pixel Grip seemed to do better than it did when I first played it in May and Sextile’s “Women Respond to Bass,” which you also heard in May’s Nocturno set, is probably in the running for this summer’s banger.
Set list is below. As always, thanks for dancing!
