A wee group of seafaring miscreants set sail into the Auckland Harbour for a Friday evening sunset dance party aboard the beautiful sailing boat the Haparanda earlier this month, and this mix represents some of the tunes I played for the crew. A mixture of soulful and tropical house with a subtle balearic-style vibe throughout, this mix sounds pretty damned good loud, outdoors.
The boat trip was thanks to that man Murry Sweetpants and his Special Needs Agency. It's always a blast getting to jam with him at these kinds of events.
A worthy note: the DJ booth was tied to the mast, and the lean of the boat and lapping of the waves meant more sway in a DJ gig (and dance floor!) than I've ever experienced before...
